Payday 3 builders introduced in a tweet on Oct. 3 that the worth of extra slots for loadout customizations has been diminished by a whopping 90 p.c.
Launch week for Payday 3 was rocky, to say the least, as server troubles made the game unplayable for almost all of the primary seven days. Many followers, us included, haven’t needed to surrender on Payday 3 completely, however really feel that Starbreeze might want to pull off a hat-trick or two to win again followers’ belief and time. This price discount of customization slots is a superb first step for Payday‘s return to kind.
Within the tweet, it was acknowledged that major weapon slot prices have been diminished from 100 C-Stacks to simply 10 and that each one different slots have had their prices diminished from 50 C-Stacks to 5. The one clarification provided (and the one one wanted) within the tweet is, “we’ve seen the suggestions.”
Fortunately, C-Stacks aren’t a micro-transaction foreign money. In reality, there aren’t any micro-transactions in Payday 3. C-Stacks are certainly purchased however are purchased with the in-game cash that you simply earn by finishing heists versus real-world cash that you simply earn by doing no matter it’s that you simply do. (Possibly that’s additionally heists. We’re not right here to evaluate).
To provide you an concept of the conversion charge, one C-Stack goes for $10,000 (once more, that is in-game cash), and 10 C-Stacks go for $90,000. There isn’t a single heist that earns you lower than $100,000 upon completion, and most will web you nearer to $500,000 on common.
That implies that earlier than the price replace, you wanted to finish two or three heists earlier than you can unlock a brand new slot. Now, after the replace, a single heist will earn you sufficient cash to unlock about 5 new weapon slots or 10 secondary weapon slots. Not unhealthy, Starbreeze, not unhealthy.
New weapon slots aren’t really bought with C-Stacks, however reasonably with in-game cash. At first, we had been confused why Starbreeze gave the equal C-Stack worth versus the financial price of recent slots—after which we realized how writing, “New weapon slots now solely price $100,000” won’t look too good to individuals who aren’t acquainted with the sport’s foreign money system. In Payday 3, $100,000 is pocket change. Not a lot in our world.
Followers usually appear to be sitting proper about the place we’re—they’re proud of this replace and think about it an excellent begin, however all shouldn’t be fairly forgiven simply but. As one other X (previously Twitter) person pointed out, we’re nonetheless out there for some extra quality-of-life adjustments earlier than we’ll be able to overlook in regards to the Great Payday Server Crisis of September (we’re nonetheless workshopping the identify).
