This mod is a very simple edit of various bags of loot in the game. some, not All, bags of loot have had value increased.
Money, Counterfeit Money, Coke, Pure Coke, Half Meth, Gold, Paintings, Jewelry, The Diamond (Dentist), Samurai Armor (Shadow Raid),
Almirs Toast, and Cloaker Coke/Gold are now more valuable specifically. everything else is unchanged.
The New (latest version) also has Warheads and Red Diamond values increased. because i dont like that Warheads are worth shit compared to base meth.
The Diamond is worth so much to what it is because im going for a somewhat more reasonable amount for the thing and theres only 1 in the game. the whole heist is about it.
Bain, and the Dentist make it out that this Diamond is worth so much, but you only get 6.9 million on Death Sentence for it. the real thing irl is worth up to $350 million. thats definitely too much for me,
but this tweak will make the heist more lucrative. you will now feel like you have stolen something of great value and historical significance. yes it can be abused by farming, but thats no different than Hox or Aftershock at this point.
The Samurai Armor is worth more because i found it lazy that its value was Artifact value but 4 pieces. now Oda Nobunaga's Armor is Worth More due to historical significance. Artifacts have not been changed.
Almirs Toast is now the single most valuable piece of loot in the game, if you're lucky enough to get one.....Listen. I just miss Almir, okay...
Bain tells me that this thing really brings in the bread ever since Almir left his position at Starbreeze, the Hungry Fans' DEMAND for the Sacred Toast has immensely skyrocketed. you'll see what he means, trust me.
Cloaker Coke, Cloaker Gold, and Half Meth (Lab Rats) are now very lucrative forms of money making also.
Basically, with the coke, gold, meth, and toast changes, you can now make some SERIOUS money playing the Halloween/Christmas heist, because Lab Rats is a pain in the fucking ass if you're Solo.
i did this to give more incentive to play them to make money, if the only thing you care about is cash. Lab Rats, Prison Nightmare, Cursed Kill Room, White Xmas, Santas Workshop are now comparable to Cook Off in payment rewards.
Now you can do more than Hoxton Breakout, Aftershock, or Cook Off to make some big m o n e y
Notes : Only Half Meth has been changed. Meth is still the same, so Cook Off and Rats will only be affected by Money value being increased :)
: The Values were tested in-game by me personally on Death Wish and Death Sentence difficulties, because those are the only ones i actually play anymore. im not saying bugs will never happen, but the mod is working as intended for me.
Also: This is quite literally my very first payday 2 original mod ever.
Finally: If you like this mod and genuinely want to use it, but dont like one of the values i have set, (Toast for example) all you have to do is open the .Lua text file (in my case i used NotePad++)
and simply erase/delete the lines you dont like, or change the number values to your satisfactiom :) it is that simple.
I tried to keep things reasonable. i didnt want this mod to be a cheat or feel like one, but some of the loot in the base game is just NOT worth your effort imo, so thats been changed. give in to your Insatiable Greed >:)
