Developer Overkill Software have released update 175 for PAYDAY 2 and its virtual reality (VR) addition PAYDAY 2 VR, which brings will it a number of changes to improve the experience.
The main thing to note is that Overkill Software have made a change to “how the VR DLC is activated”. From now on the PAYDAY 2 VR DLC will be activated or deactivated automatically depending on if SteamVR is installed or not when running the title. Should you run PAYDAY 2 are not having a VR headset, the title will deactivate the VR side of things meaning the lunch option pop-up will not show until you have SteamVR installed and a VR headset present.
Elsewhere update 175 brings a number of small changes to streamline the experience. Bugs have been fixed throughout including subtitles for VR players, along with some animation and models changes to select weapons. This includes the visual for the Pistol Crossbow in the non-VR version of the title. Bows and crossbows are coming to PAYDAY 2 VR, as mentioned in a recent livestream with the developers, although no word on when this meant happen.
