The Future of PD2Tools

Blue Screen of Death — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 18:50:04 +0000

Greetings!

As you may already know, PAYDAY 2's development cycle has come to an end with this year's CrimeFest event. Which means that, from now on, players will slowly move away from PAYDAY 2 as other titles are released, and PD2Tools's relevance and usefulness will inevitably have the same fate.

With that in mind, I've decided to stop supporting PD2Tools after January 2019. The maintenance cost is just too much (~U$500/year) to justify keeping it up giving these circumstances.

I also find it very unlikely that I could raise enough money from the community to pay for another year, and I don't really feel like giving away all the work I put on the site for free.

Therefore, I'd like to thank everyone who supported this site during these 3 or so years. It has been a fun project to work on and I hope it was of some use to you during your heisting years.

If you still miss DLC codes (mainly masks), join the group chat for a chance at getting one. I'll give away all my remaining codes in the upcoming weeks.

See you in PAYDAY 3.

Steam Group Chat

Blue Screen of Death — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 16:45:31 +0000

Hello everyone!

Steam has pushed a Discord-like update to their chat system week or so ago so I decided to use it rather than create and manage a Discord server. I'll check on this chat room often in case anybody has any questions/suggestions for the site, and I'll also do giveaways for DLC/Mask codes as I often did in the official hub forums.

Have a good one!

Updated BLT Mod

Blue Screen of Death — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:14:47 +0000

Hello everyone,

I've finally brought the mod up to date with BLT v2. The new version of the PD2Tools mod can be downloaded from: http://paydaymods.com/mods/373/pd2tools

Changes:

Changed the mod name to reflect the site name change
Removed BeardLib dependency
The loadout list can now be scrolled
Less UI clutter: the icon is now displayed next to the profile boxes, rather than in a big box at the bottom of the first column.

Have a good one,
BSoD

Site Update

Blue Screen of Death — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:49:53 +0000

Hello everyone,

I'm glad to announce that PD2Tools is now being hosted on a faster and better server overall, which should reduce loading times by a lot and allow more concurrent users experimenting with builds.

Besides this important improvement, I've also renewed both domains for one more year and fixed a few bugs that were reported on the group.

Finally, I've added a new treat which should give you one more reason to use the site: a loadout contest. To participate, just create a loadout and click the "Contest" icon on the Save/Share tab. The first user to fully guess the secret loadout wins the grand prize. Users also have a small chance at getting a random prize whenever they submit a new entry.

Rules:

I reserve the right to declare anyone not eligible to receive a prize if I find evidence of any action that goes against what I consider to be the spirit of the contest. The rules below should give you a good idea of how to take part in the competition. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through the PD2Tools Steam group.

You must wait 24hrs before submitting a new entry.
You may collaborate with other players to find the solution, but only one winner will be awarded.
Make sure you get all the information you need before hiding this window; it will only be available again after 24hrs.
Do not try do circumvent the system, e.g.: using alts, bots, scripts, etc.
Users with cheated stats/progression are not eligible to receive the main prize.

Tips:

A few guidelines to help you succeed can be found below.

Use the score results to make a better guess next time.
Leave no skill points remaining.
The weapons may have any number of mods attached.
The perk deck, primary, secondary, melee, throwable, armor and deployable(s) are never empty.
Skills and weapons having synergies is not a guarantee.

Main Prize: Alienware Alpha Mask Pack
Random Prizes: Mega Sydney, Mega Clover & King of Jesters

Have a good one,
BSoD

Patreon: Support PD2Tools moving forward!

Blue Screen of Death — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:55:25 +0000

Hello everyone,

With the huge influx of new players as of June 8th's PAYDAY 2 free purchase event, the site has experienced a +300% increase in traffic, which severely hindered its ability to serve content on a timely fashion to all visitors. A hosting upgrade is not only recommended but required at this points, so I decided to create -- with an OK from OVERKILL -- a Patreon site to fund the site moving forward.

There are a bunch of things I've put in the development roadmap but never got the time to do them so, besides getting the site back to 100% functionality, having some sort of funding would make it more easily to allocate time to spend on it, not to mention keep hosting more events and giveaways as I've been doing for the past three months.

A few small rewards/perks are also to be given to those who contribute, therefore consider becoming a patron if you like the site and support its goal. I wish I could offer bigger and more varied rewards, but I really don't want to create a paywall by adding patron-exclusive features to the site.

If you do not feel like contributing through Patreon, consider disabling any ad blockers in your browser while visiting it. There's a maximum of 1 (one) ad per page and I try to put them in visible but non-intrusive locations. Or, make sure let your PD2 crew/friends know about it privately -- mouth to mouth recommendation is the best advertisement a site can get.

Best Wishes,
BSoD

Solo Stealth Tournament

Blue Screen of Death — Tue, 09 May 2017 20:21:02 +0000

Hello everyone,

It's about time we had a big event catering to the stealth community so, with no further ado, I'd like to announce PD2Tool's new contest: a Solo Stealth Tournament!

This will be quite a big contest, hence the tournament in the name. And to justify its size and goal, here is the current prize pool:

*Alienware Mask Pack
Humble Bundle Mask Pack 1-5
Gage Russian Weapon Pack
Gage Spec Ops Pack
John Wick Heists
John Wick Weapon Pack
Scarface Character Pack
Scarface Heist
The Biker Heist
E3 Secret Masks (Jack/King/Joker/Queen of Cards)
Point Break Heists
Wolf Pack

* This is a courtesy OVERKILL_Sebastian, and will only be awarded to the first place.

I'd like to award at least 10 players, with 1st place getting 10 codes of their choice, 2nd place 9 codes and so on. However, if we reach a really big number of entries (100+) I'll see if I can award more players.

I'll also give a code for either PDCON15, Mega Clover or Mega Sydney mask to everyone to participates.

The tournament will be split in 5 stages, each of 5 heists/jobs. These will only be announced at the beginning of each stage and won't repeat themselves throughout the tournament. Only officially stealthable missions will be included. A set of rules to be followed will be included in the announcements, alongside the ranking/score system used. Each stage will eliminate a number of players, which will result in the final stage to be played only by the finalists. Each stage will require eiher a first person video footage or a live performance with me in the lobby.

Main Rule #1: You may NOT use any mission facilitating HUD elements or scripts such as drill timers, # of cops in the map, pager counters/modifiers, keycard/etc outliners, etc. If unsure, run the vanilla HUD.

Rule #2: You must use the same skill+perk build to complete ALL stages. Weapons and deployables can be altered according to the mission, though.

There is no infamy/level requirement to enter, however you must be able to host them if the stage rules state so.

To enter this tournament you must email bsod@pd2tools.com with:

Your Steam ID64
Your build (PD2Tools link required)

The deadline to enter is Sunday, May 14th.

Suggestions and questions are welcome, however I do have most of it already planned on my mind -- don't take it personally if ignore your ideas.

Have a good one!

Flaming Point Contest

Blue Screen of Death — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 09:40:59 +0000

Hello everyone,

Sorry for spamming you again, but I've got a few codes of the latest DLC so I thought why not make a new contest for them?

Check out the full details at http://pd2tools.com/contests

Flaming Point

Guys, bad news. The Russians have sneaked into our Safe House and stolen our gear.

Not everything is lost though; they forgot to check the flammable storage lockers (or maybe they were too scared to do it?).

Anyway, they must have taken our gear to their compound buried in the snow mountains, which is commonly known as Boiling Point.

So, what do you say we boil them to justice and get our stuff back?

----

Prize: Gage Russian Pack DLC codes.
The team that holds the highest score by the end of the contest wins.

Official thread: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/pd2tools/discussions/2/135512305403709898/

Winners will be announced on Monday, April 10.

Because of Training

Welcome to the GGC training program. Here's a deck of cards.
What game are we playing? It's called murder. But you're not ready yet so we'll practice on that dump you call Safe House.
And while we're at it, let's see how you do in comparison to those OP guns you carry around.
