4:14 I know the war crime bit was a little joke but i need to comment on the fact that if you were to use graze, which you said you did, it would fall under "weapons that cause unnecessary suffering *or have indiscriminate effects* " graze affects any target within 1 meter of the bullets travel path, swat or civilian, placing it under indiscriminate effects. it is, in fact, a war crime :)
The 12G Breaker... its such a shame that the ammo pickup is so terrible. Its such fun weapon to use. I hope they increase the ammo pick up. It honestly could be "fine" right now as a secondary weapon, but not as a primary. We can only hope.
Disagree with your assessment of the RPK: it is death sentence viable and melts zeal dozers in seconds. I was using it on my journey to get the DSOD mask before the Lion’s Roar got buffed into the stratosphere with very good results to boot. The only problem you can have is ammo, and that problem is easily solved. The RPK is also an icon: a classic looking weapon, deserving respect with the likes of the M16 and AK. There are definitely MUCH worse performing and looking weapons than the RPK, and after the nerfs to LMG’s I would rather use it over any other LMG aside from the KSP due to its sheer dps.
I normally use the peacemaker if I feel like being a western bank robber or revolver ocelot. Then they came out with the Schofield and I dropped the peacemaker faster than the Schofields reload time
@@m4ximili0us9 exactly, because if the enemy doesn't detect you in stealth then it's always a one-shot (unless you for some dumb reason have crits and get one with a very shitty weapon)
I find it kinda weird that you quote that given I never actually said it. I always said “overbuffed” or “buffed so hard”. Buffs are fine, over buffs just show incompetence. You say it’s interesting and player seem to enjoy it, so I’ll pose some counter questions: why make some weapons less interesting with nerfs then? In game design, you want the player to enjoy their experience in all aspects, not only when using certain weapons. Why nerf something that was already bad like the peacemaker and buff something that was already good like the lions roar?
@@CarrotIsBad Multiple times in the video you quesiton the logic behind certain changes, which can be paraphrased into 'why did they buff/nerf [insert gun here]'. You're expecting OVK to play an impossible game of 'buff but also nerf but also leave unchanged' with everything. No matter what you say about it, the Lion's Roar was a legitimately near-unusable trash-tier weapon before they buffed it, and now you're complaining about it. It seems impossible to please this playerbase sometimes. As an additional edit, not to sound super elitist or super casual, but this is a video that also really doesn't apply to most of the playerbase. I don't think you can really fairly complain about the balance of Payday 2 unless you're trying to ultra-tryhard DW/DS, which the majority of the playerbase *does not do* at all. Also, you kind of self-reported yourself as being an unreliable narrarator when you said you'd kick someone from your lobby for running the weapon they want at 3:10.
I’m sorry but anyone who says that the lions roar was “near unusable trash” has never actually played it. All of the 60 damage ars were good, but some of the 40s were lacking. After the 40s were buffed, I had no issue with that, they were buffed fairly and needed it since they were locked into being played with damage boost skills. 60s did not need a buff, and if anything, the lions roar simply needed reload speed. No, the phrase most certainly can’t be paraphrased, because it missed the purpose. There is a massive difference between “why did they buff x” and “why did they buff x so hard”. I don’t think you know what an unreliable narrator is. I’m in perfectly sound mind and not contradicting anything I’ve said, kicking someone over using a weapon they want to use has nothing to do with anything. There is more to kicking players with the db grimm than the weapon itself, as usually it’s their mentality that begs for kicks, only perpetuated by the weapons. Let’s say someone uses cheats in my lobby. Overkill allows all cheating as there’s no anticheat, so am I not allowed to kick them for using a mod they want to use? Your argument 1) straw mans my point by generalizing what I said to an extent that it’s not even recognizable and 2) comes from inexperience. I played lions roar before the buff. A lot. It didn’t need buffs aside from maybe a reload buff.
@@CarrotIsBad Friend, I'm not a philosopher. I can't tell you the exact difference between using a weapon that's provided for free with the game and using a third-party cheat software, but I know for absolutely certain that there is a difference. I am aware of what an unreliable narrarator is. Through the entire video, you're swearing the devs out and insulting people. You're so emotional that half of what you say isn't really reliable, and I can have 0 trust in what you're actually saying. It's nice that you think the Lion's Roar wasn't bad, but it was kind of terrible, man. I don't really know what to say except that there were so many objectively better options that the only reason you'd run it is if you were LARP'ing as a british soldier. Also, this isn't *just my argument* but also OP's argument. You can dance around it and go into semantics all you want, but I'm sure you're aware of the phrase of wisdom of crowds.
You don’t need to be a philosopher to see you misconstrued my point. The entire purpose of the swearing is entertainment/to put emphasis on points. You say “throughout the video”, but let’s look at the actual cases. I’ll just ctrl f directly out of my script for you. Out of the entire 3362 word script, 16 are fuck or some derivative of it and 5 are shit or some derivative of it. A whopping 0.6% of the words on this video are swearing. Just because you can’t play the lion’s roar didn’t make it bad. Just because something is objectively *better* doesn’t make something else objectively *bad*. One is a subjective term and the other is used to compare two items. I can call every weapon worse than the commando, as in essence they are, but that doesn’t make them bad. This OP’s point as well, which would be great if I didn’t counter it. But you ignored that under the title of “semantics” and “group wisdom”.
Surprised AKGENs were never mentioned since OVK wants that DLC money. But honestly, it sucks that player feedback is washed away with our efforts in giving thoughtful changes. No one likes being forced to 'play certain weapons to carry' cause OVK's lack of understanding. Amazing video
Cries in only having two viable pistol builds in DSOD with the caveat that it's a sic support build with *some* DPS God I wish that it wasn't always trumped by mindless akimbo Grimms. I swear my +400% damage AP secondary has utility!
You can fix the reload bug on piglet if you complete the reload completely It bugs out when you reload cancel, and gets fixed by doing that ^ And all it requires is reloading one shell And yes i know, still painful and STILL should be fixed, but this is at least what can you as a player, do to deal with it The crossbows have one problem: The reload speed DOES NOT ABSOLUTELY MATTER because their rate of fire still keeps you away from shooting it again. There is really no point in getting any reload skills for heavy or light crossbows, or even the pistol crossbow, but airbow is an exception because it has a high rof for what it is, so it does not have that problem.
Ah yes, the grim. I remember when i made a pyromaniac build with akimbo grims with dragons breath and the pocket grenade launcher with incindiary for better AOE and area denial. Good times
Thankfully the copycat perk deck makes the piglet fun to use. The moment I saw the card that allows you to reload your holstered weapon via killing, I immediately made a build with it. That's now my favourite build.
with silencer skills and the new silencer ak5 can get 100 in both accuracy and stability while still being capable of fitting into a dodge build, used it a ton to rip the shit out of every enemy
I was expecting to see the Micro minigun as a honorable mention like that s one of the most care free "shift+w+m1" weapon in my opinion. Because it can't run out of ammo, you don't need to aim, it has a lot of damage and it s dumb as duck, although you need a proper build to do this And great vid btw
The Breaker became absolutely useless when the Rienfeld 88 came out. I love the Rienfeld 88, but holy shite it’s inconsistent in like every way imaginable.

@@alphapegasus9761 *casually drinks while wielding akimbo shotguns and wearing masks while your friends are being downed by a ninja cop for trying to Rob the white house? Yeah that's just like irl
The reason why the reload is canceled on the piglet sometimes is because instead of after the last shot u press R, you pressed the mouse 1 button and therefore the game thinks u want to shoot immidiately. I learned that with the locomotive
I liked the Breaker and Joceline back when I played, but that was in 2018 at the latest. It also helped that I mostly just played on my own to mess around, which is why I did stupid shit like optimizing the Joceline for accuracy and loading it with slugs. It could never reach the same concealment as the Mosconi anyway, so why not go to the other extreme?
Heavy crossbow is good as a primary for stealth, you can use it to nuke a gaurd on higher difficulties if you're spotted and they gain all their health.
The reaload on the Piglet, Individual-shell-reload shotguns and the Chinapuff isn't bugged. It's an intended mechanic that when you press shoot, it cancels the reload after the next shell/grenade has been inserted. Stop doubletapping shoot when you want to reload.
In my defense, I play payday on a toaster, so Dragon Grimm allows me to survive the sometimes teleporting cops while not having to aim too much When I get a better set up, I'll leave it, because yeah, it's busted
I've done Overdrill couple of days ago, using RPK with 23DR, TBTB Suppressor and Professional Aced. And even when shooting enemies that are at like 4m distance it still was very uncomfortable, the camera starts jumping in every direction, somewhat like M60 without aced Professional (but worse). But I guess it's *somewhat* understandable, because, well, crits without Unseen Strike

Wow, this game has changed a lot since 2018 when I stopped playing. coming back to it I was wondering why some of my builds had become frustrating to play with (ignoring the AI changes from that year)
me not seeing my baby the OG minigun on this list makes me happy and a little sad at the same time, i played alot of pd2 during the great LMG and minigun buff patch and using the minigun with muscle deck and the machinegun skills was so fun.
11:49 They didnt decrease the pellet amounts on shotguns, they decreased the amount of pellets that you SEE. They still shoot the same amount of pellets but its just now that some of them are invisable, they only done this for optimisation reasons, so the actual amount of pellets shot is the same amount
No, the pellet count has gone down. This is confirmed by overkill staff lol. Making something invisible would not do anything for performance, it’s how game optimization works. Think about a game like gta 5 for example. It has an open world map, but it unrenders areas where you aren’t. The moment you go back into them, they’re rerendered. If the devs would’ve just made the areas invisible, you would still be loading every single person, every single car, every single thing, on the entire map, at all times. Your frame rate would be atrocious. These pellets were not made invisible for the performance, because that wouldn’t change anything. They were simply removed.
honestly with the breaker I think a damage buff and slight max ammo reserve increase would make it at least ok, the secondary GSPS is a straight upgrade right now. Overkill should definitley lean into the slow firerate, high accuracy, heavy hitter thing with it.
I recently got into payday again and picked up the commando cuz I love the Arnold nostalgia and breezed through my first infamy. I just though payday was easier than I remembered.
You know, it's interesting to watch this video now that time has passed, especially when it comes to piglet. With the addition of zapper grenades, if you shoot yourself with a last nade, it'll automatically taze you, and due to the way the game works, it'll instantly reload the whole mag. It'll also result in the one grenade being fired as well, but hell, having 5 nades instantly instead of spending 10 seconds on reloading the whole thing is preferable alternative. And then, we got a copycat perk deck, which gives you the ability to instantly reload your primary if you get enough kills with your secondary, and vice versa, so it doesn't even require zapper grenades anyway. It's interesting how piglet went from being a laughing stock to being one of the more viable weapons.
I haven't played this in yonks and a day. Come across this video and I wanna give it another go, but there's so much more DLC now and idk which I should get. Choice paralysis.
In vr theres a BASIC skill bonus in sniper build Where using 40 stamina gives 5% Ammo to ANY single shot weapon, including the not pickup rocket launcher 👍🏻 (litteraly only need 3 skill points for it)
I think as of 2024 the Campbell 74 lmg from the mcshay weapon pack 4 is one of the most busted weapons in the game. I mean, 100-100 stats on a lmg? Jesus
The problem isn’t the weapons themselves, but everything around them. Having insane op weapons is great, if they didn’t exist next to normal, or even terrible ones. Payday 2 is innately unbalanced, which can be seen from the high highs and the low lows. That is the problem, not the weapons themselves.
Honestly both the Breaker and the Peacemaker are fun guns for roleplaying. Same for the Galant and the Nagant, except they rupture your eardrums after a few days. If the Plainsrider Bow didn't exist I'd probably use the Longbow when I feel masochistic.
Ok heres an honorable mention in good The amcar Hear me out, its onky good for stealth, that gun is easy to master, highly concealable and if you're found out, it can wipe out guards fast
In my opinion, Payday 2 is generally an Easy game. DSOD it's just a dumb and stupid unbalanced difficulty just to shut the mouth of the veterans with something unneedlessly hard. When they introduced range damage multiplicators, it gave Payday 2 some spark and a more exticint experience in DW and below
for those beginners out there, dw about using a specific weapon, use a weapon you really like. I've been playing for 3 days now and I'm level 33, my fav weapon is ak.762. I like it.
Looking back at this video to get an idea of what the Breaker and Joceline need for buffs. Give the Breaker either a damage buff or pickup buff, and either a reload buff or a firing rate buff, and it would be at least serviceable and fun. Maybe toss in some concealment buffs and Bob’s your uncle. Hopefully it gets buffed with the whole Texas setting for Texas Heat. The only state that could compete for Western theming is Wyoming, and it’s fucking Wyoming. For the Joceline, it needs a reload buff, plain and simple.

I am using an RPK in a stoic suit build, and besides it being inaccurate as hell (think its around 40-50 accuracy) I am more than happy to use it :)
Stoic suit?...
stoic suit vs ictv anarchist
@@lichtumbra349 nah stoic suit vs ictv frenzy grinder
suppose "before whoever is on the balancing team destroys the game" didn't age well
>who the fuck was using the Breaker so much it needed to be nerfed?
U-Um...
I've done Overdrill couple of days ago, using RPK with 23DR, TBTB Suppressor and Professional Aced. And even when shooting enemies that are at like 4m distance it still was very uncomfortable, the camera starts jumping in every direction, somewhat like M60 without aced Professional (but worse). But I guess it's *somewhat* understandable, because, well, crits without Unseen Strike
Just use max FOV and you got comfortable shooting, the camera have less jumping.
@@АлександрМетеджи I do play with max FOV, and even have the mod that disables the screen shake while shooting. It's just the RPK being too balanced I guess :D

Well, as someone who plays overkill with ai teammates, bad weapons are not a thing
when it comes to the grimms, there are two types of people
-those who run it with either he or dragon's breath along with extended mags
-those has a very minor case of serious skill issue
In one of my anarchist builds, I only have the Grimm just to get armor back, you wouldn't catch me using it anymore to do anything but armor.
I use that shit in all my builds literally to kill snipers. I hate snipers.
@@someweeb3650 snipers are the bane of anarchist builds. Most of the time at least.
@@defaultsoop8723 Anarchist Enthusiast here, can confirm snipers are my mortal enemy.
had to stop recording a solo to alt tab and watch this vid which caused me to crash about 3/4th the way thru, worth it
You are welcome
Wow, this game has changed a lot since 2018 when I stopped playing. coming back to it I was wondering why some of my builds had become frustrating to play with (ignoring the AI changes from that year)
me not seeing my baby the OG minigun on this list makes me happy and a little sad at the same time, i played alot of pd2 during the great LMG and minigun buff patch and using the minigun with muscle deck and the machinegun skills was so fun.
11:49 They didnt decrease the pellet amounts on shotguns, they decreased the amount of pellets that you SEE. They still shoot the same amount of pellets but its just now that some of them are invisable, they only done this for optimisation reasons, so the actual amount of pellets shot is the same amount
No, the pellet count has gone down. This is confirmed by overkill staff lol.
Making something invisible would not do anything for performance, it’s how game optimization works. Think about a game like gta 5 for example. It has an open world map, but it unrenders areas where you aren’t. The moment you go back into them, they’re rerendered. If the devs would’ve just made the areas invisible, you would still be loading every single person, every single car, every single thing, on the entire map, at all times. Your frame rate would be atrocious. These pellets were not made invisible for the performance, because that wouldn’t change anything. They were simply removed.
@@CarrotIsBad Well shit, so the shotguns actually got nerfed in this regard then as the pellet amount actually decreased :/
So 5 months later, is this list still video still accurate? Pretty new to the game here
I’d say so
My only hope Is that overkill May buff the Scarface rifle or the breaker shotgun
that fucking clickbait shadowed weapons. I haven't played the game in over a YEAR and I can still recognize the 1st level assault rifle and the IZHMA
cry about it
I am. I have been crying for the past 45 minutes.
honestly with the breaker I think a damage buff and slight max ammo reserve increase would make it at least ok, the secondary GSPS is a straight upgrade right now. Overkill should definitley lean into the slow firerate, high accuracy, heavy hitter thing with it.
""I rarely kick anyone from my lobbies if they're not cheating"
as if being in your lobbies is some sort of honor
There's a reason why I renamed my Grimm shotgun to "war crime"
I recently got into payday again and picked up the commando cuz I love the Arnold nostalgia and breezed through my first infamy. I just though payday was easier than I remembered.
"how to avoid being cloaked" ah yes the most efficient way of turning the cloaker to paste lmao
Loved the video and im only halfway thru.
The war crime part XDD
New sub, as a payday maniac, im pleased
how do you disable the teammate names over their heads? your HUD looks so clean, apart from pocoHUD.
Payday 2 music will be always in my top 3 of all videogames, soo good man always keep me vibing while killing houndreds of cops
You know, it's interesting to watch this video now that time has passed, especially when it comes to piglet. With the addition of zapper grenades, if you shoot yourself with a last nade, it'll automatically taze you, and due to the way the game works, it'll instantly reload the whole mag. It'll also result in the one grenade being fired as well, but hell, having 5 nades instantly instead of spending 10 seconds on reloading the whole thing is preferable alternative.
And then, we got a copycat perk deck, which gives you the ability to instantly reload your primary if you get enough kills with your secondary, and vice versa, so it doesn't even require zapper grenades anyway. It's interesting how piglet went from being a laughing stock to being one of the more viable weapons.
no minigun in best list??>?!>??!1?>!>? clearly the best weapon in the game ever, cant believe you skipped it...,,
I play primarily on Nintendo switch even tho i got it first on ps4 love that it can be played on a handheld
I haven't played this in yonks and a day. Come across this video and I wanna give it another go, but there's so much more DLC now and idk which I should get. Choice paralysis.
Please tell me the attachments and build you’re using for the Akimbo CR SMGs.
I love the amcar being meta in the thumbnail. Good video !
I hope I find your lobby some day, just so I can equip a grim and the brothers grim just to piss you off.
I love that your settings are so low that the enemies just disintegrate when they die
Thank you so much just started off now long ago and this helped alot
Izhma: trash
AMCAR: meta
*Somethings wrong, and i can feel it!*
do you want to know what's insane?
the fact that you play with 20-50 fps
15:35 im that mother that could love the rpk
In vr theres a BASIC skill bonus in sniper build Where using 40 stamina gives 5% Ammo to ANY single shot weapon, including the not pickup rocket launcher 👍🏻 (litteraly only need 3 skill points for it)
man i wish grimm wasnt so stupidly op it just looks so nice
I remember seeing someone run a super modded breaker and decided to pick it up myself to go with my dodge build… and a 5.7…. The ammo hunger is real
i know it would be op but i hate how the 5/7 pistol is shield pierce but the p90 that fires the same round irl is not.
Seeing how Overkill massacared the Izhma is just brutal. How the mighty have fallen so hard
I think as of 2024 the Campbell 74 lmg from the mcshay weapon pack 4 is one of the most busted weapons in the game. I mean, 100-100 stats on a lmg? Jesus
I don't see the problem with having brain dead weapons, could you tell me why it's a bad thing?
The problem isn’t the weapons themselves, but everything around them. Having insane op weapons is great, if they didn’t exist next to normal, or even terrible ones. Payday 2 is innately unbalanced, which can be seen from the high highs and the low lows. That is the problem, not the weapons themselves.
This guy sounds like if Butthead was into Dungeons & Dragons and I'm all for it
Honestly both the Breaker and the Peacemaker are fun guns for roleplaying. Same for the Galant and the Nagant, except they rupture your eardrums after a few days. If the Plainsrider Bow didn't exist I'd probably use the Longbow when I feel masochistic.
Ok heres an honorable mention in good
The amcar
Hear me out, its onky good for stealth, that gun is easy to master, highly concealable and if you're found out, it can wipe out guards fast
The cammando is so weird like it wipes specialsso fast is very good at clearing the map with bulletstorm and got a buff still
With those graphic homie not playing payday no more, he playing paycheck
Thx for keeping the gameplay footages longer
akimbo vector with suppressors are pretty damn good too, theyre like insta kill on every enemy except dozers
In my opinion, Payday 2 is generally an Easy game. DSOD it's just a dumb and stupid unbalanced difficulty just to shut the mouth of the veterans with something unneedlessly hard. When they introduced range damage multiplicators, it gave Payday 2 some spark and a more exticint experience in DW and below
Nope u just a noob
I felt a sense of disgust towards myself for being able to tell which guns you had in the thumbnail
for those beginners out there, dw about using a specific weapon, use a weapon you really like. I've been playing for 3 days now and I'm level 33, my fav weapon is ak.762. I like it.
I love it but I always seem to run low on ammo
Bro sounds like the nerd emoji, especially when swearing lmao.
Why the ridiculously high FOV?
Don't really understand the passive aggressiveness/elitist attitude towards some weapons
cuz ppl take this pve game way too seriously lol
Im still pretty new to payday on pc, how did you get your hud like that with the perk stuff and damage numbers? mods? if so what ones?
Please help me guys how can you see the skill activation information on the top of screen
It’s modded huds. Specifically top left is Pocohud and I forget what top right is but it’s a different hud mod.
Other than the awkward sounding swearing I enjoyed the video a lot, cheers for this mate!
Looking back at this video to get an idea of what the Breaker and Joceline need for buffs.
Give the Breaker either a damage buff or pickup buff, and either a reload buff or a firing rate buff, and it would be at least serviceable and fun. Maybe toss in some concealment buffs and Bob’s your uncle. Hopefully it gets buffed with the whole Texas setting for Texas Heat. The only state that could compete for Western theming is Wyoming, and it’s fucking Wyoming.
For the Joceline, it needs a reload buff, plain and simple.
Payday2 is still alive? Woah..
in the pocohub 3 mod how do I remove the red thing that show where im taking damage from?
there is something so comical about shooting an enemy and seeing it get literally deleted from existence.
why no flamethrower? is best gun, clearly best
It is okay
@@Bay1k smh clearly you do not run gambler flamethrower crossbow on bank heist
