Payday 2 may be almost a decade old at this point, but it’s still one of the most unique games out there. Not many games pull off the heist format so well, but Payday 2 has whittled it down to an exact science. Still, in the world of games, even perfection can be improved upon, and that’s where mods come in. Here’s our list of the best Payday 2 mods around!
Best Payday 2 Mods List
Advanced Crosshairs, Hitmarkers, and Hitsounds (ACH)
ACHis a mod that upgrades additional hitmakers, reticles, and crosshairs to the game. This gives you a better idea of where your bullets are going and, in some cases, an idea of whether you’re actually hurting the people you’re shooting. You’ll need a few additional mods to install this, but it’s definitely worth it.
WolfHUD
If you’ve ever been unimpressed by the info the game actually gives you on-screen, tryWolfHUD. WolfHUD is a mod collection that effectively transforms the appearance and functionality of Payday 2. There are a huge amount of changes here that make it a more visually manageable game and give you huge amounts of additional information.
Better Assault Indicator
“Assault in Progress” isn’t a particularly useful bit of info inPayday 2. What kind of assault? Is it an Endless Assault? How do you end the Assault? There are lots of small details you could do better with.Better Assault Indicatoradds this information, helping you figure out what’s actually going on in the chaos of a Police Assault.
BeardLib
BeardLibisn’t a mod in itself, so much as a way to facilitate other mods working. This constantly updated platform allows for script manipulation, custom maps, and easy swapping of content. It’s a must for someone who wants to play modded Payday 2.

Payday 2 Re-Texture Project
This enormous retexture project completely transforms how Payday 2 looks and feels. A massively updated set of new textures that affects almost every level in the game, thePayday 2 Re-Texture Projectmakes it feel like playing a whole new title.
Better Bots
Let’s face it, sometimes, the bots in Payday 2 suck. If you’re solo heisting and need some help, the bots aren’t usually going to give it—that is, until you try theBetter Botsmod. This update means that Bots will automatically mark Tasers, dominate cops, melee enemies, throw concussion grenades, and generally be much more useful!
Custom FOV
In the days of old, every FPS game had an expansive FOV slider. For example, Quake players used impossibly wide FOV’s to get the best angle on enemies. ThisCustom FOVmod adds that functionality to Payday 2, so you really have no excuse to get KO’d by a Cloaker.
Hotline Miami Hud
The Hotline Miami crossover events with Payday 2 were something special. And if you’re like us, you never really wanted them to end. And with thisHotline Miami HUD mod, you’re able to keep the Hotline Miami theme going with a completely transformed HUD.
Meth Helper
Making meth in certain heist missions is, without a doubt, the most frustrating thing in Payday 2. Yes, more frustrating than being downed by a Cloaker while a Bulldozer assault is in progress. ThisMeth Helper modmakes making the meth actually doable without confusing and incorrect instructions from the NPCs.
