3 new auto pistols with akimbo variants - fair amount of attachments included yet still it's not something you call a weapon pack. TBH, new weapons are always fine but there is still a huge amount of old weapons waiting for diverse attachments you can pull on - like tons of modders makes it for free.
"WE NEED MORE PISTOLS!" - said no one ever.
Seriously, with the 3 included in this pack, we now have THIRTY (30!) Pistols and thanks to the broken weapon balancing i can't even remember the last time i used a pistol properly - outside of "i helped some noobs on Overkill and brought the 5/7 for the fun of it". At a time where on higher difficulties no secondaries outside of the Grenade and Rocket Launcher and maybe shotguns with Explosive rounds make sense, they drop more pistols - and call it a weapon pack.
So we get three automatic pistols. I mean it's nice to get some competition for the Stryk, but do we really need 3 of them, when one would be enough, because who uses three different automatic pistols and why would anybody chose something different than the Igor? With the mods in the pack and the skills you get it to 39 rounds magazine, 83,3 damage on 1125 ROF with 96 accuracy and 92 stab. The other two pale in comparison (42 and 54 damage and the higher ROF doesn't compensate that because at the same time the stability and accuracy is worse)
The weapons are also available as Akimbo variants for primary but the question is: Why choose them over Dual Shotguns? Especially since they don't go auto anymore but you have to click fast to really get them going. The Igor again, are pretty nice, the other two are practically useless.
This is useless.
I only have tried the CZ75 so far but just on that weapon alone I feel like this is a worthwhile weapon bundle. YMMV but for me 3 dollars for a weapon that I'm definitely going to use a lot is fine. It's like a more controllable version of the G18, like a pocket SMG. I was able to make it work as part of a 4 concealment build and when paired with an ammo efficient weapon (it's not bad on it's own but you do run out from time to time) it's a strong combo.
Nothing wrong with the content.
People just want something else - understandably.
These weapons have the lowest quality in PD2 history, I have seen better rendering and texture on modded weapons. 93R and CZ share the same animation and it's just as bad as the new G3 reloading animation. Please stop making new weapons unless you are going to put some efforts in them
Bernetti Auto Pistol is good
Czech 92 Pistol is ok
Igor Automatik Pistol is shit
All weapons are outclassed by the STRYK 18c which is free
edit: Depending of what hiest/build you are doing the Bernetti auto pistol would be better than the STRYK 18c but it still does not justify the price just for one gun and if you really want a machine pistol use the STRYK 18c
New animations, more guns in the auto pistol category, I'm supporting the release of payday 3... How can you go wrong really?
These pistols are just good looking, powerfully statted items.
This DLC offers:
- Three new pistols
a. Bernetti Auto Pistol
b. Czech 92 Pistol
c. Igor Automatik Pistol
- 16 Weapon Modifications
a. Weller Barrel, Tirador Barrel, and Sicario Barrel
b. Weller Grip, Cartel Grip, Sicario Grip, and Federales Grip
c. Federales Stock, Tirador Stock, Extended Magazine.
The weapon models are great. High poly model, crispy high definition textures and are accurate compared to their real-life counterparts.
The pistols themselves are not 'god awful' at all. Other reviews complain that these pistols are useless due to there being better options to use and that their stats not being that 'special'. Honestly, who cares if there are better options? In PAYDAY 2, you chose what is best for YOU, not for me, not for anybody. The more guns, the merrier.
Payday 2 already suffers from a weapon bloat where you have so many different but nearly identical options. The pistols this adds are interesting but completely outshined by already existing content.
The Mark 10 is in the base game and the Yakuza Character Pack (Micro Uzi) offers a lot more at a better price. These are just bullet hose weapons that can benefit from pistol skills and have pretty bad ammo pick-up. The only pistol that stands out is the Igor Automatik and even that's not worth taking because there's plenty of better secondaries.
The ting goes skrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
Like 'em. Seem like good pistols, fun to use. New animations so not lazy, there is a bug that involves using the new border crossing sights on the Igor Automatik, but aside from that not bad.
Babbies whining about more pistols haven't played VR -- pistols are some of the most fun in VR, and this pack is perfect for it.
Same situations as other SMALL weapon packs.
you get 3 pistols, Bernetti is good, Czech one is passable, Igor one sucks dicks
And we have better options (some of which FREE) that surpasses each pistol in every aspect. It's pointless.
The accessories are cool, though, i guess? Meh.
this weapon pack is quite interesting, as in these pistols are uniqe. there are no other fully automatic pistols in the game and oh boy are these pistols fun
I might even call the akimbo bernetti pistols OP. i tried them on death sentance and if you stand right in a dosers face and empty your magazine he just dies pretty much instantly.
Its pretty much a portable a-10 warthog (no, im not joking)
The rpm is just soooo high.
just get the pack and see for yourself
I'd buy this weapon pack for a dollar!
10/10, would shoot a gangster in the dick again.
To be honest, the guns are extremely fun to use at first, but there aren't much of a variety between the three guns and that's my biggest problem. They aren't bad, but they feel more of the same.
All in all, I'd recommend this pack. I managed to get more enjoyment out of the three pistols, and their akimbo versions, than the Heist alone.
They look cool, I'll give em that.
But stats on them are really bad, mods are blocked via heist, so buying it separately is pointless.
Also, yeah
More useless dodge pistols.
28 damage, ok.
Despite the abundance of pistols in this game I didn't care about this pack to begin with, however, after using these they are amazing. Not really bothered with the attachments as much as the guns, however they can all be well concealed, I used akimbo and secondary under 5 conc for a crit dodge build and they shredded everything. Its nice to see a way to use auto pistols and having an alternative to the Stryck
This is a Pretty Cool Pack. Each Pistol is somewhat unique from each other. My favorite being the Bernetti Auto Pistol. I'd Recommend this pack if Auto Pistols Tickle Your Special place Like me.
I don't know why people are so against pistols. We have 3 machine pistols, one of which lets you be robocop
The weapons are good, and work perfectly fine.
the problem is the nature of the pack, since a weapon pack used to mean more then 3, and they sometimes had great variety.
Still, this isn't a bad dlc, by any means. And if auto-pistols is what you seek...
I'm a fan of the pistols in this pack, but this weapon pack doesn't bring anything new to the table. You can give this DLC a pass or get it in the San Martín Bundle. Your choice
I bought this DLC to support Overkill and it's developers, and I'd recommend it as a bundle rather than a standalone DLC. The weapons are indeed overpowered and suited well for VR, as well as the mods offering new sights and upgraded barrel extension to replace that ugly flash hider.
Bullshit, STRYK is still better.
The new pistols are extremely fun and also seem kind of OP. Definitely worth it.
The pack i pretty good but igor one is ugly as shit and I will never touch it.
Overkill, im disappointed that you need to bait my love for the CZ75 behind a paywall. I will buy it just this once, but if it happens again, im sending you to your room and eating all ur meatballs.
10/10 love auto pistols
Literally adds the Robocop pistol into the game, and it can be dual wielded. Do I need to say more?
10/10 I'd buy this for a dollar!
I play using a pistol/Akimbo build, so a pistol update would be something right up my alley since this is three pistols that can be used single or dual-wield, right? Wrong, even if I held the third gun in my ass these attachments are shit and these guns aren't going to worth a damn on a difficulty outside of Mayhem.
I find myself using my Crosskills and Deagles, along with the Boomhandle for Mayhem+ difficulties, so I was really eager to try out these new guns and attachments.
I'm still using the aforementioned guns, and sometimes I use the Igor for its high ammo cap. There is probably a good akimbo pistol that's better than the baby deagles for concealment and damage in my Stealth build, but it's not here.
2/5 - Hard pass on this
[Edit: It's kind of worth it if you want that sick .22 cent discount as opposed to buying everything but this pack?]
Very fun pistols, would highly recommend.
The Igor itself worth the price.
It has good recoil, damage and lots of mods.
It's a CAR-4 for automatic pistol.
These handguns are actually pretty good. I don't like the idea of putting good weapons behind a paywall, but the paywall is small and it also serves more as a donation to help the company while they get back on their feet. Worth it.
As a big fan of pistols and akimbo weapons, I really like these weapons!
Fun new guns to use with good animations and good looking models, I dont understand why people would complain about too many guns.
A very fun weapon pack that adds auto pistols, each with their own benefits and cons. It almost seems OP to be able to kill a bulldozer in a dodge build in under 0.5 seconds, but after playing with them a bit more, it feels balanced enough. Fun with dodge builds, though kind of lacking in armor builds.
Neat weapon pack, I got this included with the bundle... But if i could go back, i would only buy this...
it was not showing up in my inventory.but im not mad.
gud wepons 6/9 recommended by dozers i slayed
I'm neither happy nor unhappy with my purchase of this pack. They're fine pistols. I prefer the STRYK-C (Base game weapon) for Akimbo Primary, as those feel like an amalgamation of all 3 of these. But, these three are fine secondaries as single weapons. The pack is just okay. Completely skippable. Not too expensive, though on sale is recommended. Your call!
I'm gonna be honest here, this is okay, but not recommended
The Bernetti pistol has a good ammo pool, paired with a really good high rate of fire, which also means stability is crap, which is okay. Modding it should make it serviceable.
The Igor pistol trades high damage and accuracy for the poor ammo pool and decent fire rate. Nothing much to say i guess other than it's russian.
The Czech pistol is the middle child, although it leans towards the Bernetti more.
Overall, these pistols are perfect short-term solutions for when you need high damage output in a pinch. And when it comes to stealth, the Bernetti is your best choice. Everything except the Igor is very concealable.
Oh right, the akimbos, they're good ig, still runs out of ammo fast tho. Also concealable.
HOWEVER, make sure you have a weapon that is ammo efficient for it, all these pistols run out of ammo VERY quickly!
Overall good pack 9/10 would run out of ammo again.
Not really much too be said about this. It adds three machine pistols with akimbo variants that are actually really good and can be brought to dsod and not only can kill a lot of things, but can melt them. The ammo pool, while it still leaves a bit to be desired, isn't too bad if you know how to preserve ammo. Oh, and you get to be robocop with one of them.
Fun over effectiveness would normally be the case for a pistol only weapon pack, i may have not spent too much time testing out each gun, i would definitely say they are fun, are they effective though? yes! they are fairly effective. each one is slightly different, for example having more damage but smaller mag, rate of fire, and ammo pool. they do better in some situations than others though, for running and gunning and killing bulldozers this is powerful. However for dealing with stuff like cloakers, its lower damage is not very good. In conclusion, this pack is definitely worth the price
Damn feds. Igor otomatik so good
Incredibly underrated weapon pack.
These auto pistols are a such nice break from the LMG and crit Saiga\Akimbo shotgun meta. I was REALLY burned out of PAYDAY 2 and this DLC made me play PAYDAY 2 (imagine how burned out I might be playing since September 2013) again.
Anyway, the pistols are fairly straightforward:
• M93R (Bernetti Auto): low damage, high ammo pool and pickup rate, high rate of fire, high stability, medium accuracy
• CZ-75 (Czech 92): medium damage, medium ammo pool and pickup rate, VERY high rate of fire, medium-high stability, medium-high accuracy
• APS (Igor): high damage, low ammo pool and pickup rate, medium rate of fire, medium stability, low accuracy
My personal best out of this pack has to be M93R, can't get enough of this gun ever since Battlefield 3 days. CZ is a close second, firing an akimbo variant in swan song feels like piloting A-10. Disappointed in APS, ammo pool is VERY low, you get one mag and one and a half in reserve. Another "high damage-low ammo" cursed gun.
All pistols are very versitale and got unique modifications for both crit builds AND "heavy one's". They DO require any sort of damage buffs but after that... hoo boy! Absolutely Death Sentence viable if you go for a crit dodge build, there are definitely better options for Berserker builds. It MIGHT look like that the ammo might be a problem, but the magic trick of switching to semi auto usually fixes this problem for CZ, M93R has high enough to pickup rate so you can just fire away!
If you like playing high difficulties and tired of current "meta"? This weapon pack is for you!
P.S. Overkill PLEASE add burst fire mode for guns!
Pistol go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Bought it mostly because I wanted to play around with the stechkin pistol (igor automatik). The guns feel really nice, I really like the way the recoil feels with them and the animations are neat. The 3 pistols go from the bernetti, having low damage and high ammo count to the igor, which is the exact opposite and the czech somewhere in between. I tried using the igor in a crit build on death sentence and it did just fine, although the ammo count is definitely a bit restrictive and the max concealment is 27, so it might not replace any meta builds you might have, if that's the only thing you care about.
For the price of the DLC, I can definitely say I am satisfied for the variety in automatic pistols that this DLC provides, given that until now we only had 1.
my handguns fire as fast as a minigun with 0 recoil nice dlc
I originally intented to buy this DLC to support Overkill but after a while i noticed that as of the past 5 or 7 months no one noticed how stupidly broken the Akimbo Berretti Autos are.
The Igor pistol is bad, dont use it,
The CZ is a good secondary i'll give it that.
And the Berratas are just broken, you can make them do 68 to 71 DMG points with 1620 fire rate, 81 stability and 48 bullets in the mag using weapon mods and skills and it works with Anarchyst making you invinscible.
You can just kill Death Wish dozers in under a second if you land the headshots.
Please ether patch it, or leave it a tiny secret since nobody got this dlc lmao.
literally slap trigger happy on these bad boys and go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'll be reviewing all the Payday 2 DLC on a x/5 scale in relation to the weapons and heists available as of 2020.
Weapons
Bernetti Auto Pistol: 3/5 While the super-low damage stat may be off-putting, a couple of skills will do well to make this pistol worth using. Really, it's the rate of fire where this thing shines. The base stat, for one pistol with no skills, is 1101 rounds per minute. That's already nearly the pace of the Vector/Micro/Jacket's Piece. But when you factor in Gun Nut Aced and the ability to dual wield, you can have an effective fire rate of 3302 rounds per minute. That's faster than the fucking Minigun. Add on skills like Trigger Happy, One Handed Talent, and Low Blow and your theoretical DPS will become truly immense. However, there are some downsides. Stability, while decent enough, will strain under the pure torrent of outgoing fire. Accuracy will never be good. And of course, with great rate of fire comes with great ammo usage; you'll probably need to use an ammo bag even if you pick up most of your drops. But if you tailor your build just right, you can effectively become a hurricane of lead.
Czech 92 Pistol: 3/5 The CZ finally makes its way into Payday 2, and honestly kinda baffles me. Its rate of fire, damage, accuracy, and stability are all slightly better than the base game's Glock 18c, yet somehow it still feels worse to use. Maybe the recoil animation is more disruptive, maybe the firing and handling noises are worse, maybe it's just nostalgia. But for some reason that I can't explain or understand, some reason that defies the objectively better stats, I would rather use the G18.
Igor Automatik Pistol: 4/5 Like the Bizon before it, the Stechkin APS applies black magic to its 9x18 rounds to make them undeservedly powerful. At least they're consistent with their balancing insanity. Now while it's not quite 7.62 levels here, it's still as powerful as the Crosskill class of handguns. And when you apply all of the pistol skills to what is stat-wise an automatic .45, you gets some shockingly high (and stable) DPS. Really the only problems are the low ammo capacity and base stability. Also, instead of re-using the same slightly janky reload animation that the other two weapons in this pack share, the heel-release is actually used! This results in a slightly longer, but overall more satisfying animation that helps ease the pain of Jonas Wallin (the old animator) moving on from Overkill.
300% more automatic pistols in Payday 2 for three bucks. Pretty damn good buy.
It's worth on a sale.
or if you're into akimbo/pistols
The great thing about this weapon pack is that it fills a gap in the game. Until now, the only full auto pistol was the STRYK 18c (Glock 18C), so if you wanted a full auto pistol that was the only option for single or akimbo.
This is where weapon packs should aim at (haha, aim at it... get it? Sorry. I'll find the exit myself), improve some aspects of the game, fill a gap, give more options and not just 'reskins' of weapons.
This pack gives you more options for full auto pistols single and akimbo with great mods! If you're into Akimbo or Pistols, go for it. If not, wait for a sale.
I'm kinda surprised how much fun I had with this pack. The auto pistols are pretty damn fun especially the akimbo variants. You can make some pretty great builds focused around these pistol and the akimbo versions which can melt Bulldozer on Death Sentence (But I wouldn't recommend using them on Death Sentence). I would highly recommend the Federales Weapon pack if you like pistols and want some pretty reliable auto-pistols for Normal to Death wish if you have a build centered around them.
Do you like the auto glock in this game? Then stick with it. This pack is dissapointing. I wish i spent money on a cosmetic kit instead.
These auto pistols are good, some decent alternatives to the Stryk pistol(base game automatic glock). If you are unsatisfied with that/want more options to play around with, this pack will definitely provide. Loosely recommend only if you are a pistol enthusiast.
i really like the designs of these weapons tbh
The CZ is fucking fun to use. Though it has a long reload. It is not even that long but it kinda feels like due to it fast firing speed. All the guns are automatic pistols so they have a shit damage but this is fixed with pistol skills. You can atleast get 15 damage plus.
Whole a$$ stocks for pistols??? Criiiinge 😬😬😬
none of the weapons in this pack help or hinder the game and the only people who would enjoy these weapons also use hitman on very hard/overkill
Czech 92 Pistol's animations are cool
Very good pistols, actually worth using.
Full auto pistols with Pistol skills and crits is hilarious. Try it.
The 93r should not fire full auto, and the Murphy kit should remove the foregrip as the gun it homages to does not have one. Also it should have some dedicated Robocop-like animations if you do end up putting together a replica of the Auto 9.
Besides that, I like the idea of having machine pistols for a back-up sidearm. But these are somewhat impractical to utilize on higher difficulties unless you're running a dedicated handgun build. I got it on sale for the novelty though, so I can only really recommend this DLC for that purpose.
BRRRRRRA
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRA
Good DLC
Finally the Stryk is not the only full auto Pistol you can use.
Too bad the guns from this DLC aint really worth getting unless you crave more than the Stryk can already offer.
Just get it.
The bernetti pistols itself make this dlc worth buying!
Federales Weapon Pack is a pretty great weapon DLC introducing 3 new automatic pistols that fire about as fast as any SMG if not faster making them amazing to use but is easy to burn through ammo with. Various attachments and overall pretty good guns however you have to decide if $3 is worth it or not.
+3 new pistols all automatic and fire insanely fast
+10 new attachments
+akimbo variations
+fun to use
+good to piss off your friend who brought ammo bags
-$3 for 3 pistols def is overpriced but hey its just $3 i dont feel like they are super useful and would quite honestly just play the game with the pistols that come with it or any other DLC that actually adds real content but hey you be the judge
Nice pistols but is it really worth spending money on compared to the ones that come free with the game and content related DLCs?
Funni Auto Pistols, which honestly suprised we didn't get earilier
Bernetii Auto: Godtier
Czech: Good
Igor: Good
Overall: Like the Stryke? get it
9/10
recommend for the beretta robocop
-> grab Czech 92 for stealth
-> forget its in auto mode
-> during stealth heist fire it and accidentally kill 10 civilians and 2 other guards
-> Assault in progress
Would buy again
No worth buying, it's ''expensive DLC'' to a short DLC like this, just if you like auto fire pistols and you better wait for a promotion. Also some mods makes the Guns looks ugly
Wouldn't recommend it. Just 3 automatic weapons with akimbo variant that do decent damage but burn through ammo fast. We also already have multiple SMGs that do the job just fine.
