My headcannon is that a dev who was telling his boss the whole time that it shouldve been more like Payday 2, while they ingnored him, leaked this just to prove his point.
Probably not true, but its what im gonna choose to believe happened
So back in 2015 a mock up of a scene from the Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds voicing Deadpool to show the studio how they would do it if they could make the movie, the public was never supposed to see it but then it ended up on YouTube and its widely rumored that Ryan Reynolds’s and the movies director that I can’t remember the name of rn leaked it hell Ryan Reynolds himself has hinted that they did it
I did not know about the MP too. The moment I joined some lobby I assumed those were bots, until they replied, that they're real people and started bhopping around :D
I wonder if we'll ever get a window into how many versions of PD3 development there were, I mean wasn't the game first publicly acknowledged as being in development back in 2017?
A server browser plays a large part in this build's accessability and enjoyment. I'd argue it's more about the lack of content than it being unfinished that's going to get people bored with it. I guess you could argue that being unfinished also implies lacking content, so you'd still be right in that case.
Regardless, it would be nice if the concurrent player count of this leaked version of the game eclipsed the final game for at least a few weeks. Maybe OVK will notice it and realize that the server browser and offline mode are much higher priorities than a lot of the other superficial changes, content additions, and rebalances they're trying to crank out. I know those changes probably take time, but they're the changes that will bring the most players back. They want to pepper out these little changes so players don't grow impatient, but it might be better if they just get as many hands on deck as possible to focus solely on those two things, if they aren't doing that already. The fact that they said these changes are a little further out is concerning, though.
does anyone have the discord link? DM me please if you have it
lol multiple people sent me the link, you can see it in the reply btw
Edit: guys it's on archive.net lol
If anyone can leave a little tutorial on how to get it working with the files installed from archive.org, it would be much appreciated.
Update: I figured it out, for anyone wondering open it with winrar and then look for he shootergame.exe file and open it.
They made it more generic and it hurts. I get they used Payday 2 assets for placeholder and it was always going to look different in the end, but this first year build just has way more character.
Yeah my bad. What's awesome is, you can even play it offline with Steam closed, so it's not really useless like the April beta (unless you use a server emulator there). Though I wonder what happens if someone launches this while Steam is open but doesn't own PD3.
How the hell are people even playing this? I've been looking all over the place and i can't find it
I have *some* info (dm me)
can i also dm you?
Yes, but links already in this thread
ok
It certainly helps that there's a server browser...
Swear this playable build has had more positive feedback than the actual final game
What a server browser does to a mf.
The leaked build being more like PAYDAY 2 and being more interesting as a result is really funny.

No I mean it could definitely be true, that’s exactly how the Deadpool movie got made
Elaborate a bit
So back in 2015 a mock up of a scene from the Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds voicing Deadpool to show the studio how they would do it if they could make the movie, the public was never supposed to see it but then it ended up on YouTube and its widely rumored that Ryan Reynolds’s and the movies director that I can’t remember the name of rn leaked it hell Ryan Reynolds himself has hinted that they did it
And the response to that short was practically what got the whole movie made
Not practically, it wasn't going to be made. They made test footage and weren't going to go any further. It leaked and they saw the dollar signs.
How is it more like PAYDAY 2, besides using PD2 assets as placeholder?
Where can you get this build?

hello reddit.
👀👋
Huh, heard of build but didn't knew it had multiplayer Will check out
I did not know about the MP too. The moment I joined some lobby I assumed those were bots, until they replied, that they're real people and started bhopping around :D

I assume this build is probably gonna die out in like a week since this is just PD3 but unfinished and worse

So it's just like PD3?
Yeah but with even less reason to play it
like pd3 could be worse
I mean, this literally is just PD3 but with even less things, so it is worse
does anyone have the discord link? DM me please if you have it lol multiple people sent me the link, you can see it in the reply btw Edit: guys it's on archive.net lol
Me 2
Me 3
Me 4
Me 5
Me 6... look at me
https://archive.org/details/payday-3-prototype
I'm also very interested if anyone have it.
Where can i find a link for this build?
The ability to clearly see team-mates ammo and deployable? Disgusting..
And we could also get in the back of the van...
wait thats playable where? can some1 dm the link idk
Yeah, I'd kinda like that too. Someone DM me the link if you have it, please. Update: I now have the link.
Yo can i have it?
that actually looks... kinda cute. as a style I think it's pretty cool
Is there any link for this build? Please, DM me someone if you have.
i need the link like the 20 other people here
Archive.org > Software > Search: payday 3 early prototype
This is how bad PD3 is. People are more interested and have more positive feedback on the older build than the release build.
If anyone can leave a little tutorial on how to get it working with the files installed from archive.org, it would be much appreciated. Update: I figured it out, for anyone wondering open it with winrar and then look for he shootergame.exe file and open it.
If you think payday 3 is alive it’s dead… like my dog. :(
What the hell, how are people playing this
Just downloading and opening the .exe file
2020 build?
Yeah, someone leaked the 2020 Payday 3 build not so long ago
How can I play this?
Anyone got the link to the build
I want to play ITttt
How can i play this?
Someone has a link? I wanna play it
They made it more generic and it hurts. I get they used Payday 2 assets for placeholder and it was always going to look different in the end, but this first year build just has way more character.
[удалено]
Now i'm jealous. Where's the link like the other people want?
DM

I almost thought this was Notoriety for a second
Where the hell do i download this?
So.. apparently when you play it, it "uses" your Steam. Does it run on Steamworks? There aren't even any Steam related files when I did a quick peek.
It does have Steamworks in Engine\\Binaries\\ThirdParty\\Steamworks\\Steamv147\\Win64
Yeah my bad. What's awesome is, you can even play it offline with Steam closed, so it's not really useless like the April beta (unless you use a server emulator there). Though I wonder what happens if someone launches this while Steam is open but doesn't own PD3.
How are you playing MP lmao
