People who bought in didn't know what they were getting, and it was intentionally kept secret until it was released. Feel free to throw your hat in the ring about this. Maybe a Mega Death Sentence/One Down mask as well? This way, Overkill keeps their promise of not re-releasing the Completely OVERKILL Pack, and we get Mega masks for all of the playable characters to choose from. (maybe not Rust and Duke b/c they're already available in-game) Additionally, Mega masks for the heisters who haven't gotten them yet like Jiro, Dragan, and Joy. It would also add the Mega masks released elsewhere, like Clover and Sydney. The only masks taken from COP would be the Mega masks of the OG heisters Dallas, Hoxton, Chains, and Wolf. Instead, I have this as a compromise: release a pack of Mega masks that is exclusively of the heisters' masks. (As a personal note, I have to wonder how many of these doomsayers foreseeing great outrage from the community if it's re-released, already have the COP from 2015 and are afraid of losing that exclusivity.) Bad PR could not be good for them in the long run at all. I have no strong arguments against this con, because Overkill is in a bit of a fragile situation financially and publicly. Now, while I will grant them this b/c COP was meant to be limited-time and meant to generate fuel for the Hype Train for more free content, so re-releasing it would be violating that promise. The cheapest I've seen it go for nowadays pushes 1000$! That is way beyond the price bracket any reasonable person would want to pay for essentially cosmetic DLC.Īn ancillary pro to this is that re-releasing it for the same or similar price (20$ for those out of the loop) would be another potential source of added revenue to Overkill, which I admittedly would be willing to front given my desire to see an eventual Payday 3.Īdmittedly, a con that I can't overlook is that this would undoubtedly put a LOT of people majorly off of Overkill and Payday 2 b/c they are "breaking a promise". Let's face it: with only 50k COPs available, it's problematic to acquire at best. There is a single major pro that I can think of and it is this: Allowing access to the Mega masks for players who joined after the Hype Train event without mods, cheats, or sating the money-lust of scalpers. Now, before I am set upon by outraged fans that Overkill shouldn't "break another promise", let me weigh the options and the pros and cons at play here. A friend of mine who got me into Payday does own it, though, and he and I have gotten to discussing recently that Overkill should consider a re-release of COP, or at least the Mega heister masks. I entered the Payday community in 2016 and I don't own the Completely OVERKILL Pack. Now, I will start this by admitting that I have some skin in this fight.
