SubtitlesIsn’t the holidays the best time of the year? You get to take some time off with your family and proceed to take part in heists as you massacre law enforcement wait what? Welcome to a special holiday theme episode of the LowSpecGamer. You want to play Payday 2 and enjoy some holiday themed missions with your friends but you have been naughty and there is no new computer waiting for you under the Christmas tree.
Not to worry! Here are some easy to install mods, to get you gaming.
You can filter your search by including or excluding tags. To add tags, simply start typing the tag you're after. Separate new tags with spaces.
First we are going to use some assets mods.These are officially supported and very easy to install. To install asset mods you need to navigate to your pay day 2 installation directory, for steam this is located at Program Files, Steam, Steamapps, Common, PayDay 2, go inside the assets folder and create a folder called modoverrides. Inside you can place the folders for each mod. Once you open your game you can verify the mod was installed by going to options, mods and you can even see if the mods you are using have conflicting files with other mods you have installed using the same method. To remove a mod simply delete its folder from mod overrides.
The files for all the mods I am about to talk about will be in the description. We are going to start with LemonCat’s Macro. This set of mods will reduce the resolution of many, many things.For examples, faces are already blurry on lower textures but this mod takes that to the next level. You will notice important differences on the detail of most scenes, as well as dramatic reductions in the details of trees, grass and many other elements. There are several folders on this mod, each for one thing modified and you can mix and match and only reduce what you want.
Then we have have another LemonCat mod, this one is for reducing the resolution of smoke effects to the minimum, which you will notice as the smoke being more cubic, less detailed and better for performance. Now, the next 2 mods require another tool to be installed. In the description you will find a link for the BLT tool, which you can simply install by copying the extracted files, a folder and a dll into the Payday 2 installation folder. The BLT tool self updates, so it is a good idea that you open your Payday 2 to see if the tool requires an update.If everything is properly installed you will see a LUA mods options in the game.
Once that is done you can install LUA mods by placing the appropriate folder in the main mods folder and you can enable and disable each mod in the options of the game. The next mod is called Low Violence. Simply put, this mod disables blood and makes the bodies of enemies disappear as soon as they die, so the game has less decals to render and less bodies to manage. Finally we have this no postprocessing mod that removes several post processing effects to increase performance with surprisingly little graphical issues.
You can combine pieces of these mods to try and get the best-experience possible. Let’s have some jolly Christmas fun. Well, this is a game that I would fully recommend for an Intel HD computer, as you can see, with some tenacity and patience, it can be quite playable. A little good, a little bad and a lot of violence. So, we are releasing “Low End Santa” and then hitting him constantly to get some information of where the presents are at, because you know, this is how we communicate in this world.Violence! Just kick the crap out of Santa and that’s how we get presents, that’s exactly how it works, right? That’s tradition.
Oh that’s fantastic, can I steal iPhones? I can totally steal iPhones Health is back up, the kit is down and we just keep shooting. Just keep shooting at everything and- OH SHIT! That’s a lot of police men. So beautiful, ok, so this is the graphics police, they look like Mud-men with low end textures and they disappear when they die, isn’t that marvelous? Why did that take so l- OH SHIT! Back you monsters- shit.
I think they’re all dead. And we’re supposed to hit Santa again. In the middle of all this- Woah! I love how this game keeps giving you objectives, like, peacefully, like “hack the pad”, “steal the jewels”.“Do all those things while, you know, a hundred thousand police men keeps shooting at you simultaneously.
Merry Christmas, motherfuckers! Say hello to my little friend! This game is so-so I know this is supposed to be arcade-y but the juxtaposition of realistic guns well, as realistic as as it can get. With all this craziness happening around us, makes for such a strange juxtaposition, how am I even talking about this when I’m getting shot at everywhere, we all keep dying.
This is insanity, I’m getting PTSD just watching at this, the screen moves so much, there are so many bullets, so many explosions, I don’t even know what’s going on. So in true fashion, for those who don’t know this mission, you have to hit Santa to know where he hid the things that you need to steal, and then you need to blow up the roof, put it all under the tree and fly – tree and everything- to escape with all your loot.
It’s a Christmas adventure, right? It’s all about giving to others and stealing for yourself, oh shit! It’s like “death”, “death”, everywhere, everywhere you turn there’s death, there’s nothing but death.Now we need to attach frames to this- ohhh. Fuck, so many enemies! Ohhh, shit, shit, shit, shit, this is getting worse by the second. Oh my god this is so insane! I don’t even know how I’m even supposed to survive this.
And we’re flying out with the tree! And it seems our mission might be over. Oh, I died but at least I died in the escape zone.
Yep, I died in the escape zone, that’s literally the best place to die. Well, that worked, alright! Merry Christmas everybody.
Whoever you are and no matter if you celebrate the holidays or not, I am glad you are watching and I hope you have a good night. See you soon. Special Thank You to the Patreons, I hope you all guys are having a good Christmas.
I must stress this at the beginning. This is NOT a guide on how to root through the game's files looking for secrets or how to hack.
