PAYDAY 2 DLC Unlocker Latest update: McShay Weapon Pack 2.

Content that won't get you tagged:

  • Heists once the map is loaded
  • Any outfits and gloves (Stuff from Tailor Packs, Dragon Pack, etc.)
  • Characters
  • Perk Decks

untested, but in theory these are undetected as well:

  • Basically all the collab items (Enter the Gungeon, Hotline Miami 2 Deluxe edition, Saints Row 3 etc.)

What do you mean won't get me tagged?

PAYDAY 2 uses a very simple "anticheat" to stop or prevent people from -- cheating, obviously. But they've ended up repurposing it at some unknown point in time to also fuck with people enjoying the wonders of antisemitism, and now it also tags people using the DLC Unlocker under some specific conditions.

By tagging, I mean literally giving you a tag. The anticheat doesn't put people in a blacklist like more conventional projects, VAC for example. It is only temporary (it resets after loading into the main menu1), and it doesn't do much in the way of preventing clientside cheating other than DLC unlocking either.2

When hosting a match, the default settings for a lobby are leaving it open to the public and kicking cheaters. I think you might see where I'm going with this -- most people won't give a damn about any of the options and will just leave it turned on.

So, while using anything that "could get you tagged", you most likely won't be able to join any public games hosted by other people. You can get away with this by hosting your own, but you'll still be able to get the cheater tag and people who join might get scared, think you are part of the secret hacker group known as 4chan, and leave.

You can zigzag your way around this mess by playing on a steam account that doesn't own the game, and only has access to it via family sharing. When under such conditions, the anticheat just completely gives up and stops trying to detect attempts at stealing their revenue -- losing OVERKILL Studios hundreds of dollars each second. Piracy is serious business, after all. Just the other day I pirated Cave Story like 5 times and made Jewcalis lose 90$. That's how it works, right?

Anyway, everything not included in the list at the top is picked by the game, so take care when using them. These are the few ways you can circumvent being kicked while pirating the DLC.

...


1. to clarify, if any other players in a lobby complete a level or leave and rejoin (in the case of the host when you're the client, when you rejoin a future game of theirs), it'll effectively have been reset and initially you won't have the tag. If you still have something that triggers it (for example equipping a weapon from a DLC you don't own) you'll of course once again get flagged as a cheater. You as the client will never perceive yourself as flagged on your side.

2. one example are perk decks -- they're not checked for validity, adding (modding in) new ones that won't match up with what other users have in their game, won't be picked up by anybody. in theory, this also means using perk decks from DLCs you don't own without being detected is possible, but I haven't tested it yet due to sheer lazyness.
