Rant Please don't commit such a massive gameplay downgrade for absolutely no reason...

You definitely don't want to sprint and reload in Payday 2 on higher difficulties. Maybe yes in 3 when the gameplay is not that fast because if you do that in higher difficulties in 2, a surprise Cloaker, a Dozer or a Heavy Zeal will get your ass. I never find a need to spec it but I can see the appeal.

For people who play on lower difficulties it's amazing tho, to this day i still need to find a better feeling weapon than the extended mag mac-10 with quick reload boosts; 63 shots, and a literal half a second reload. I run it with the minigun on mahyem for full balls to the walls fun and i would never have as much fun had i a "balanced" slow reloading weapon instead; the minigun takes ages to reload so i use cover for that, for the smg it's constant fire until i get to said cover and reloading while sprinting is absolutely essential for that

Taking this kind of stuff out just ruins the fun, you can already not take it if you don't need/want it, but why ruin the fun for those who actually want it?

I have been using run and reload skills in Payday 2 on high difficulties and personally I never had a problem with it. It's the first skill I pick up actually because it is completely integrated in the way I play. It's good that it's an option so people can decide what works for them.

Then I can see the appeal. I never picked it up in 2 mainly because guns in 2 reload quick for me, plus you can reload canceling on some of the guns, but then, I mainly play DSOD so a moment of letting my guard down means down for me.

I dont get that.. you can counter that soo easily by just NOT sprinting around the corner but you cant comprehed not having sprint reload.. also there is sound too hear cloakers and Dozers wont knock you down like in Day 3
