Ports Restoration Mod's Zombies to vanilla and Streamlined Heisting.
Hello! I'd love to request a texture mod for Payday 2 that changes the appearance of regular enemies (SWAT, FBI, ZEAL, etc.) into zombies—using the zombie models/textures from an existing mod (possibly the one you've already created). The key point is: this mod should only change the visual appearance of enemies, without altering any gameplay mechanics, AI behavior, spawn rates, or difficulty.
I currently play with an action mod that includes explosions, beheadings, and dismemberment, and it would be incredible to see those gory effects applied to zombie cops. However, I haven't found any mod that purely replaces enemy textures with zombies while keeping everything else intact.
You've already done most of the work with your previous zombie mod—so this would be more about reapplying those assets in a non-invasive way. The goal is to make it compatible with all maps and game modes, so I can experience Payday 2 as if it were a zombie survival game, without breaking any core gameplay.
In short:
Replace all regular enemy units with zombie versions (visually only)
Keep all game mechanics unchanged
Works across all maps and heists
This would truly make my dream of a zombie-infested Payday 2 come true. Thank you for your amazing work, and I'd be incredibly grateful if someone could take on this project!
First of all, he didn't make those textures. That mod is a port of the Zombie Faction from Restoration Mod.
As for making a mod that uses the models from the Zombie Faction, that doesn't affect gameplay is quite an thing easy to do, I suggest if you want them to make that a mod to contact them via Discord as most modders are most likely to respond to requests on there rather than MWS threads.
Thank you for the correction and thank you for the help, I will make a request for discord as well.
