PSA: Modding and cheating.

Hello heisters, crooks and robbers!



We've seen your concerns regarding mods that give players unfair advantages, or completely change limiting mechanics such as with Silent Assassin, which has been brought up most often. We do agree with those who claim that this mod gives players who use it an unfair advantage, it removes core mechanics of the game meant to balance your ability to traverse a level.





We’re working on a system that works as a filter, you’ll be able to de-select modded servers entirely should you wish. If you just want to be selective about what mods you play with, you’ll be able to see what mods are active on the server before you connect. We're aware that this won't please everyone, but it will help legitimate players make informed decisions on what hosts to join, giving you the option of selecting another host. This means we won't be reviewing individual mods, but will let you the player, decide what you feel is fair or not.



We can promise this system will be out before the end of the year, but not exactly when. Until then we ask you patience, and ask you not to go on a witch hunt for those that have spoken up in support of mods you feel give an unfair advantage. Opinions differ and we've never explicitly spoken out against it before this point.



And to those wondering about cheating in regards to PAYDAY 3, let's quote the AMA; we can't talk about that, not for a long time yet.



Joakim.
