PAY4Dead 2 - The Weapon Sounds of PAYDAY 2

The 'PAY4Dead 2 - The Weapon Sounds of PAYDAY 2' sound add-on replaces the drawing, firing, and reloading sounds of all Left 4 Dead 2 firearms to their closest respective counterparts in PAYDAY 2.

The AWSM/AWP is not included in this add-on. See the 'PAY4Dead 2 Supplement - Rattlesnake for the AWSM/AWP' supplementary add-on for more information.

Version 2.0.1 has been released, please consult the Change Notes for more information

Author's Notes (2025/03/25):
Before I get another comment pointing out that this add-on does not have the correct sounds for the AWSM/AWP and the Scout, I would like to confirm that I am (sparingly) working on version 2.1 which will contain them. As my schedule does not allow me to achieve my original vision of also improving the other weapon sounds as well as finally releasing the updated video preview by this upcoming version, I have decided I will just gradually release updates instead. This means version 2.1 will only have the AWSM/AWP and Scout sounds while a later version (2.1.1) will have the improvements and finally the video preview.

That was the plan, but at this point in my life I can no longer commit to updating this add-on. Sorry!

I am an avid player of Left 4 Dead 2 and PAYDAY 2. On March 2018, I released my first sound add-on on the Steam Workshop, which was eventually followed by a second one the following month. For my third sound add-on, I decided to do something big: I wanted to port weapon sounds from PAYDAY 2 after getting tired of the default ones in Left 4 Dead 2. I was on a summer break, months before my first step in college, when I worked on the first version of this add-on. I did not pay as much attention to detail when making it because I did not expect it to be this "popular" and "successful" (I consider 300+ subscribers as those two words). However, learning from experience and acknowledging the attention this add-on has accumulated, I have done a complete overhaul starting with version 2.0:

• Complete, all firearms in the game have now been provided weapon sounds from their closest respective counterparts in PAYDAY 2. As long as that game continues to be supported by OVERKILL through new DLC releases, I will continue to update this add-on in case of a new weapon release which becomes a better counterpart for a Left 4 Dead 2 weapon.
  
• Improved Quality, the firing sounds are now sourced directly from PAYDAY 2's game files, but the drawing and reloading sounds have been re-recorded in-game due to the complexity of how reload sounds are stored in said game files. Compared to before when I recorded the sounds in the Safe House alone, I have now re-recorded everything on a custom heist/testing map with little to no background noise.
  
• Updated, this add-on has been made and tested for the Last Stand Update. The new reloading animations provided by the update allowed for more "diversity" in reload sounds for certain weapons which has encouraged me to rework the entire add-on for compatibility.

As I grow older and therefore busier, I have somehow "future-proofed" this add-on by replacing as much sound files as I can with the highest quality I can provide. Of course, I am still open to feedback, suggestions, and complaints (these have their respective discussion threads below), but I can no longer promise a deadline as I will only work on this add-on from time to time. Again, I have enjoyed making this add-on and I hope you enjoy using it!

Have a good one,
- Ivan
