Payday 3 tears up one of its worst systems and replaces it with a shiny new one, and it’s a huge step in the right direction

Since its launch in 2023, Payday 3 has faced challenges, with daily player counts on Steam for Payday 2 being approximately 20 times higher than for Payday 3. Starbreeze has canceled a Dungeons & Dragons project to focus on enhancing Payday 3 and has transitioned support for Payday 2 to another studio. The upcoming free update, Skills 2.0, will overhaul the skill system by eliminating the previous buffs (Rush, Edge, and Grit) and introducing a more intuitive structure with six main archetypes: Soldier, Ninja, Mechanic, Hacker, Conman, and Professional, each with three subdivisions. Players will have access to 51 skill points upon reaching Infamy level 150 and an online tool will help plan skill progression. Starbreeze has adjusted weapon damage to maintain balance and introduced various enhancements, including the ability to throw bags at enemies to stagger them and resolving a bug with throwing knives.

How to respec in Borderlands 4

In Borderlands 4, players can enhance their vault hunters by earning skill points and can reset these skills using specialized respec machines found throughout the world. This reset allows players to reclaim and redistribute skill points for a fee based on their current in-game cash. To initiate the respec, players must stand in front of the machine and hold the 'Use' button, but failing to allocate points during the session will result in a blank skill tree without a refund. Additionally, players can reset their specialization skills using Eridium, which is required for refining their vault hunters into roles like Survivor or Sharpshooter. The cost for respecing specialization skills is also a percentage of Eridium reserves, which is rarer than cash.
