Payday 2's recent City of Gold update that went live yesterday is being enjoyed by fans, however, there were a couple of things that the developer wanted to do but couldn’t. Well, now they are here with Update 203.1 just released today and it brought balancing changes for eight weapons. A handful of bugs were fixed as well.
The rate of fire and damage of the Chimano 88 Pistol is respectively increased to 600 and 37. Ammo pickup of AMR-16 Assault Rifle is now 2.7 to 4.95 from the previous 0.9 to 3.15. The recoil of Mark 10 SMG is reduced while the rate of fire of Bronco .44 Revolver is raised to 480 from 361. Contractor .308 Sniper Rifle received the most changes. Its damage and rate of fire have been increased to 200, and its weapon kick was changed to 2/3/ to 0.3/0.3 from the previous 2/3.8/ to 0.3/0.3.
