New Payday 2 Update Makes Key Microtransaction Item a Random Drop

Curious: Can you get safes and drills from the Offshore Payday as well? I presume if so it's random still and you can't specifically choose a higher chance of safes/drills.

Not cool what they did. Overkill put on the big boy shoes now and forgot who actually paid for those. You can always drop into obscurity just as easily as you climbed.

Too late. After once promising the game would NEVER have microtransactions, they've shown their true colors as greedy lying sacks of trash.

Never trust this developer again.

But how random? Is this a 0.5% chance so technically you can get a drop, and technically there might be something neat in the safe, but effectively no change?

They've lost all credibility on this one, so we need some numbers.

Lol, so you have to hope for the safe to drop, then you have to hope for the key to drop. Then you have to hope nothing inside the safe is crap.

Or you could pay them money.

Fantastic.

I'm guessing the drop rate for it will be pretty terrible.

Yeah, that doesn't change my mind at all; it's funny that they actually thought this would smooth things over.

Still BS, since they promised they never would add microtransactions, a pity though, the game is great but things like that mar the fun a little bit.

They work to add microtransactions to game but they still haven't fixed the issue with surround sound on PS4 that I've submitted in June. I've lost faith in Overkill :/

You won't get a single dime from me.

I was looking at this game since the Crimefest thing was promoted on the front page of Steam. Then I looked at the reviews...

HOLY CRAP.

The top reviews are all negative from people with 1000-2000 hours on record, all united in saying that Overkill has no idea what they're doing and have made the game pay-2-win despite promising they wouldn't. Do they really expect to sell this game when some of the most hardcore players in their community are warning potential customers not to do it?

I'm sick of microtransactions
I'm tired of games cutting content
I'm done with DLC

This generation sucks

Sell outs

It's a step forward, but they still need to either take the stat boosts off the skins or take out the microtransactions altogether. Preferably both. Won't restore the lost faith or reverse the bad word-of-mouth. That's what you get when you lie to your customers.

I'm guessing that the drill has a below 1% chance to drop. Just a wild guess.

They still exist, no padding will change that.

3 year old 20 quid multiplayer game with about £70 of dlc and microtransaction of top.

Piss take.

Still, they added microtransactions to a game they claimed would never have them, and called us silly for thinking about them including microtransactions.

A lot of bad PR for Overkill.
