Today, Overkill Software went live on PC with update 2.29 for their hit game Payday 2, along with the accompanying patch notes. According to the official Payday 2 patch notes, the latest update added a long list of bug fixes and gameplay changes. A handful of the changes will be focused on addressing a number of issues that came up since the last 2.28 update. Hopefully, update 2.29 will address that community’s concerns. So, without any more introduction, here is the complete patch notes list for update 2.29 for Payday 2.
Payday 2 Update 2.29 Patch Notes
General
- Players in the lobby are now notified when someone picks an entry or escape plan.
- Changed Graze skill so that it no longer hits civilians.
- Fixed an issue for clients where AI was able to start shoot actions and open fire while performing certain actions like climbing, jumping, vaulting, etc.
- Added checks for periodic fire damage to prevent crashes. Also changed it so that applying burning on an enemy that was already affected by burning refreshes
- the damage per tick and duration.
- Fixed an issue that allowed a player with the Berserker Aced skill to still receive healing from third parties when the player was equipped with the Tag Team Perk Deck.
Fixed several issues related to the Pocket ECM
- The feedback interval has been corrected to match the in-game description (1 second)
- If an effect is synced, but one is already running locally, the synced one will be queued, preventing latency from blocking them.
- Only the user that starts an effect will sync it to other players, instead of all players being able to inconsistently do so.
- Feedback stunning still runs stuns through the host, but clients no longer have to wait for a response, nor are they able to waste charges by using the ability twice in quick succession.
- Stopping of effects is not synced anymore to prevent effects from ending earlier than intended for other players.
- Feedback will now work with the intended interval and do multiple stun ticks instead of only once.
- Feedback now uses the camera position (or synced camera position from other players), instead of the root position of the unit (around the feet).
- Improvements for drop-ins while the effects are ongoing.
- Berserker states now block feedback heal-on-kill provided by other players.
- Frenzy healing reduction now applies to feedback heal-on-kill.
Level
- Black Cat – Fixed a graphical issue that could be seen when looking out of certain windows.
- Black Cat – Fixed an invisible collision around the casino machines that would cause objects to look like they were floating.
- Black Cat – Fixed a graphical issue that would allow the player to see out of bounds.
- Fixed a random crash that could occur on every heist.
Weapon
- Added the VD-12 stock mod as an available mod for more weapons.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the heatsinked suppressed barrel and the R4 Medved suppressor to be equipped on the Patchett SMG and its Akimbo version at the same time.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the player to see through the Hailstorm when reloading with the conversion kit applied.
- Fixed some text on the Hailstorm to display properly on the weapon.
- Characters now comment when a viper grenade is thrown.
- Changed so that the Tombstone slug no longer gives extended range and falloff reduces tick ratio.

VR
