Payday 2 just received a patch a couple of hours ago. Update 222 tweaks the XP system and also fixes several bugs. The update is only 661 MB in size, meaning that you should be able to download and get back in the game fast.
The Counterfeit heist’s objective description referring to the wrong ocean has now been changed. From now on, loot bags in Normal difficulty will reward players with 1,000 XP in selected maps. The Viper grenade when shot by Arbiter will go farther than before.
