A rebalance and re-imagining of existing Payday 2 mechanics

(Aimed to add more in the future)

Mods Included So Far:

• No Armour Suppression

  • Dodge, Grace and Damage impacts reset armour regen timer.

  • Stacks with decks and skills.

  • Armour recovers reliably in cover.

  • Additional Grace Fix (Doesn't change Grace Period duration, just prevents Higher Damage shots bypassing it).

• Multiplayer Ammo Drop Scaler

  • Grants a 5% chance to drop an extra ammo pickup for every other alive player in your lobby, not in custody, up to 15%, this is aimed to help mitigate public lobby "ammo stealing".

  • Configurable in Lua file.

  • Redesigned the overall ammo drop pathing to have cleaner snaps to the ground, basically even if you disable the extra spawns, regular ammo spawns will be positioned a lot better.

• Hide Waypoints On ADS (Fixed)

  • Fixed to work with stealth detection icons, and the bugs where it would trigger and remain off during melee & interaction states.

  • Updated to spare Trades.

• Pistol Rework

  • Buffs Pistol ammo pickup by a flat 10%, this was aimed to give more justification to dumping points into a pistol build, over SMGs.

  • Gives Heavy Pistols: Deagles & Revolvers, Shield Piercing & Body Armour Piercing. Not wall piercing. With an additional ammo pickup nerf to compensate.

  • Minor ammo buff pickups to the 5/7 and Rus 12 to compensate new SP pistols.

• Beast Of Burden

  • Allows you to carry 2 bags at once with limits. These include: (Light / Coke, Medium / Money, Heavy / Gold).

  • Very Heavy's / Artifacts can be paired with Light Bags.

  • Body Bags, Mega Heavys and Safes are not able to be carried with another bag.

  • Money / Medium bags are slightly heavier, but you can now sprint holding 1 or paired with an additional Light / Coke bag.

  • Reworked bag jump height to be tied to the player's current walking speed.

• Civilian Marking In Stealth V2

  • Allows marking Civilians in Stealth, requires Chameleon Basic for Casing Mode.

  • Configurable in Lua file.

• Better Casing Mode

  • Allows running and crouching while in Casing Mode. (Just running for Civilian Mode, like in Golden Grin Casino, because crouching turns on Guard Detection).

  • Removes Suspicious Hud Hints.

  • Changes the pickup for Gage Packages and Anniversary Items to be instant, and they are always interactable in Casing Mode.

  • Allows dumpsters to be opened in Casing Mode.

  • Planks are now interactable with Chameleon Aced.

• Dominated Outlines

  • Gives a light blue outline to tied civilians & dominated cops.

  • Client side, no joker desync.
