Gameplay

• The dozer will now be stunnable when using the EMC jammer gadget combined with the skill 'Electrical interference'

• The Quality AA setting no longer turns marksman scopes white when using ADS

• Fixed an issue where smoke grenades using the 'Poisonous Gas' skill would treat cuffed guards as enemies instead of civilians and eventually kill them

• The 'Bounty Hunter' skill can no longer be used to place down an infinite number of tools. Instead, each tool has its own placement limit; earlier placed tools get deleted as more are placed per player

• Fixed a bug where the primary weapon wouldn't reload after doing various movements while swapping weapons

• Fixed an issue where some glass cases wouldn't get destroyed by throwing knives

• Fixed an issue where crew AI remained stuck in place after getting revived if downed during the Techie drone flash effect

• Lowered ammo pick-up rates for all weapon types except SMGs

• Laser beams have been improved in order to make them more reliable when playing with higher latency

• Fixed an issue where all armor frames had the 2 seconds damage resistance when a plate breaks. The function is now exclusive for the 4 plate armor frame as intended

Skill Changes

• Several skills were changed following the feedback in the skills survey (thanks for participating!) The exact changes are visible here in the [url="https://www.paydaythegame.com/news/payday3/2025/11/skills-survey-results/"][u]survey blog[/u][/url].

• Fixed an issue where the 'Berserker' skill didn't give damage reduction for the 1 second after a reload was completed

• The 'Bounty Hunter' skill now has Zappers, Naders, and Techies in the base version, and Cloakers and Dozers when Aced

• The 'Human Resources' skill now allows throwables to ignore hostages (Base) and civilians (Aced)

UI

• Defeating enemies using the skill 'Hidden Blade,' no longer adds damage dealt in the post-game statistics

• Implemented performance improvements related to the techie glitch effect

Enemies

• Adjusted enemy armor and health to normalize the experience following the release of skills 2.0. This change should make enemies feel more in-line with how they felt before the skills update

• Normalized the experience of increasing or decreasing difficulty, making the jump in challenge less drastic

• Increased damage scaling of crew-AI to ensure relevance following enemy adjustments

Feature

• The Temporal Anti-Aliasing Upsampling (TAAU) graphical options now work as intended

Heist Changes

Touch the Sky

• Replaced the wifi circles with a new puzzle

Known Issues

UI

• The contact image and name during the briefing of Delivery Charge currently shows Butcher instead of Shade.

Shopping Spree

• Enemies can sometimes spawn in inaccessible areas

• Enemies can carry the loot bags away from the players, but don’t currently have a drop off point where they can “secure” them

• Some specific small areas in the mall are tagged with an incorrect type of zone (public/private/secure)

• When the main objective is Nobleman Lounge: Objective will not update properly if the office objective is skipped. Heist can still be finished, but no new objective will be given until the office is fully completed

• When the main objective is the Corvo Gun Store, the blue keycard is inaccessible, preventing entry to the security office and the camera operator

Touch the Sky

• The information in the tab menu still displays instructions for completing WiFi-circles, not the new puzzle.

Same as in 2.5

• Using an old version of the “PD3 Logic Mod” by Narknon and HW12Dev will prevent the new skills from functioning properly. [i]There’s already an update to the mod, so downloading the latest version will prevent the issue[/i]
