PAYDAY 2 Update 25 Changelog
20. MARS - OVERKILL_ALMIR
Heisters,

We are now live with the Free-to-Play weekend and the PAYDAY franchise discounts.

We are soon ready with Update 25 which includes the Election Day heist and more.

Here are some of the highlights of update 25 along with the changelog.

The Election Day Heist
The Election Day Heist is the third free heist update to PAYDAY 2. It allows heisters to take on the new contract called Election Day from the corrupt politician the Elephant.

A Free Pistol Weapon
The Chimano Custom pistol is also added for free to anyone who joins the Official PAYDAY 2 Community group on Steam.

A Big Stealth Update
Changes to the stealth are introduced to further improve gameplay. Special thanks to the PAYDAY community for their continued feedback and support. Read more about the stealth changes below.

Moving Cable Tied Civilians
Nothing says “I own you” more than having a controllable hostage. As soon as you’ve subdued and zip tied a civilian, you’ll be able to tell them to follow you around by interacting with them.

Whenever the situation demands it, you can interact with the hostage again and they’ll lie down on the spot.

Stealth Reward System
Finishing a heist in stealth will award you with an EXP boost. That boost will then apply to the next contract you choose; you can spend it on any job, stealthable or not, but only on the next contract.

You can obtain the EXP boost again by completing a heist in stealth at any given time. The stealth bonus stacks through the days, so a full three day successful stealth will be greater than one successful stealth day and one failed, but you’ll still get a bonus.

Skill Changes
The Spotter skill replaces the Smooth Talker skill, the Camera Loop skill replaces the Lucky Charm skill and the Cleaner skill has been reworked.

Everyone Gets One Body Bag By Default
The title says it all. Bain heard you like body bags, so he decided to give one to every one of you.

Ghosts Get One Additional Body Bag
The Cleaner skill will give The Ghost one additional body bag, two in total.

Ghosts Also Get the Body Bag Asset
Ever wanted to share your body bags with your crew so you can stealth together? This asset, linked to the Cleaner skill, is perfect for Hitmen and their gang members. With this skill the Ghost can buy a body bag asset which contains three body bags. This asset is placed on a predetermined spot, and will be accessible for everyone in your crew, including yourself.

Mastermind Get the Spotter Asset
The Spotter is a new stealth asset. He is similar to Ilija the Sniper and stays hidden somewhere off the map, but instead of killing guards and law enforcers, he’ll spot and highlight them for you and your crew.

The Dominator Skill and the New Alarm Pager Operators
Every player with the Dominator skill can now dominate one guard each at the same time. But apparently the old pager operators got fired, and more experienced operators are taking over. So clear your throats, and get ready to answer the pager as soon as you dominate a guard.

We’ve Balanced the Spawning Guard Patrols
The spawning patrol guards will still appear, but we’ve balanced the time interval based on the heist difficulty. Also, Bain has promised to be more observant regarding the patrols, so he’ll let you know whenever they send in new guards and roughly when they’ll arrive.

10 New Achievements To Unlock
Heisters can now enjoy 10 new and challenging achievements.

New Team VO
We’ve given the PAYDAY gang more voice lines.
