Theres no mod on the workshop that changes the hostage system in a meaningful way so i created this mod. It introduces updated hostage trading mechanics inspired by Payday 3.
Key Features:
Initial Assault Delay: After the alarm sounds, you can trade up to 6 hostages. Each hostage traded adds a 10-second delay to the first assault wave. (Note: Captured cops/guards cannot be used for this initial delay, though this may change in the future).
Assault Break Resupplies: During any assault break after the first wave, you can trade 2 hostages (including cops/guards) for a chance to receive a medkit, doctor bag, ammo bag, or ordnance bag.
Hostage Highlighting: During trades, every active hostage is automatically highlighted, saving you the hassle of searching for someone to trade.
Compatibility & Notes:
Online: Should be functional for host, and any peers that also have the mod installed. I have done very little testing for online mode, so functionality isn’t guaranteed.
Restoration Mod: Yes, this mod has been made fully compatible with Restoration Mod.
Images: The preview images are from multiple different builds, so the UI and text might look slightly different in-game. (Im too lazy to take new ones)
Please report any bugs or issues you might find!
