Personally, I wouldn't mind ditching flashlights for better performance. But I'd like to see lasers if possible.

Discussion Thread Cool Dark Knight reference I just found:
The same patch that the Blue SWAT units in-game use can be found on the GCPD SWAT units in the Dark Knight, a film that came out 5 years before Payday 2.

Discussion Thread Is the jump from V.Hard to Overkill a bit too steep in PD3?
More of a question than anything, im back at playjng PD3 with my friends and i noticed how hard Overkill is compared to V.hard, i know it is meant to be super hard and thats fine, but im wondering if anyone else feels like Very hard is somewhat easy while overkill is extremely hard in comparassion?

Fluff A friendly reminder that we don't know what the canon ending of PAYDAY 2 is, and theoretically the Dentist could be alive in PAYDAY 3.

Discussion Thread Is Leech... Not Good?
First of all, of course I am aware any kind of perkdeck is masterclass depending on player's hands.
What I mean is, back when I was playing couple years ago I was kind of on top of the earth with META and builds and such. I had builds for everything, tailored by me, etc. etc. and they worked as intended. I recently restarted playing, and while I was playing only my Hacker builds were tailored fine enough to be played on DS and above.
Now, other builds were trash, they were designed to be trash, but what I don't understand is somehow I cannot get leech build to do anything.
I remember very clearly telling myself in the past "damn... game is way too easy with leech", this being primary reason of me making a hacker build in first place. Now that I have returned, basically, leech couldn't carry me through jackshit.
Ampule time is way too long, DS enemies come in hordes, yes, but they down you before you down enough of them to sufficiently restack and use ampule in a cycle. And I have for some reason before then gave a suit to my leech build, yet leech gives no dodge? Incredible, why would I have done that I cannot understand. Leech's grace time is comically little too. Plus, somehow, any weapons I've used is no good. Hacker's akimbo shotguns are very nice, but I want to make new builds, because playing one all the time is not fun as you guys might imagine.
Therefore, two questions. "Is Leech... Not Good?" and "What... Is good?"

Game Update UE5 performance issues
Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any resources on performance issues caused by the UE5 update for both PD2 and PD3?
Seeing overall high fps, but with huge fluctuations and stutters regardless of graphical settings. These fluctuations do not appear to be from in game circumstances but rather remain a constant no matter the situations.
I have tried both modded and vanilla games, I have tried everything from removing corpses to trying Vulkan. I have set priorities, altered configs, changing power management modes, changing Nvidia settings, on/off resizeable bar, and different performance enhancing mods. I have verified game files, and done clean reinstalls both via steam and revo uninstaller. Changing these things will alter my baseline fps but do nothing to combat the fluctuations and massive stuttering. Any help is appreciated! My hardware is more than capable of running both of these games at a stable framerate.
