PayDay 2 PS3 Patch 1.04 Adds DLC Support, Infamy System, More

Prepping it for the new DLC that launched this week, Overkill has announced that patch 1.04 (1.03 in Europe and for retail copies in North America) for PayDay 2 has gone live on PlayStation 3, taking up 5.3GB.

Along with support for those new pieces of DLC (Gage Pack 1 – $3.99, Gage Pack 2 – $3.99, The Armored Transport – $4.99), you can check out the full changelog over here, or read the highlights below:

Three Biggest Changes

The Infamous system – With the new Infamy system the player can continue to advance beyond reputation level 100. Becoming infamous will reset the player to reputation level 0 but unlocks the new Infamy tree where the player can invest Infamy points and unlock more stat bonuses as well as new content such as masks, materials and patterns.
The Cloaker Enemy – The return of the special law enforcer from PayDay: The Heist.
The selective fire mode system – All payers are now able to toggle Single- and Auto-fire with their weapons.

Weapons

Added selective fire mode which means that players, by pressing the “Right Arrow Key” using any weapon that can fire full-auto now also can switch to semi-automatic (except the Swedish K Submachine Gun)
Added Rate of Fire as a new weapon stat
Added Total Ammo as a new weapon stat

Gameplay

Hosting Ability: Invite friends to play in the new DLC heists even if they don’t own the DLC themselves.
Added a feature so that assets can be bought by anyone in the loud-out menu, not just the host
Added a feature where system messages will explain what other players are doing in the chat (who bought the asset, who is joining the game, who left game)
Added a new blood effect when the player is hit by an enemy melee attack
Added a new hit effect when the player is hit by an enemy melee attack

Skills

Balanced the Sharpshooter Basic skill from 50% down to 20% for single shot, skill was incorrectly giving players 80% instead of 50% before. The reason for the skill reduction is that we introduced single shot fire which made it unbalanced with the previous settings

Menu

Crime.net database has been added to Crime.net. Clicking on this icon will open up another menu where the player can choose to read about the characters. Each character has a briefing and a video
The load-out menu has been re-customized
Added the new Light Machine Gun tab in the primary weapons inventory menu
Added the new Melee tab in the inventory menu
Increased the total amount of mask and weapon slots from 18 to 72
Added the Contents Update page where players can view the most recent DLCs

Law Enforcers and Others

If you convert a highlighted law enforcer the red outline will be replaced by the blue outline as originally intended
