This is the first part of the Rebalance Beta for Payday 2. The beta mainly focuses on the Mayhem diffiuclty(and above), Sniper Rifles and a new skill called Graze. Basically, Graze is a skill that allows the player to score multiple kills with only 1 bullet around a 100cm bullet trajectory(it's kinda hard for me to demonstrate in this video because I kept going down way too much and I was playing on a close quartered map).

This part mainly focuses on the gameplay on One Down. One Down in this beta reduced the enemies HP on this difficulty(to be exactly like the enemies HP on Deathwish) and the player is allowed to go down 3 times before going into custody. At first, it appears that One Down is easier. However, it still pretty difficult because the Zeal Heavy SWAT still deal 225 damage and Dozers can deal a lot of damage with the new weapons they were given(one of them can wield the IZHMA and the other can wield a LMG). Also, Medic Dozers and Minigun Dozers are allowed to enter the level on One Down to make the difficulty mode a bit harder. Sadly, Minigun Dozers tend to have a lot of HP on DW(24,000 HP) and OD(48,000 HP). Which can lead to some really bad situations which kinda reinforces the issue in the live version of the game where enemies tend to be bullet spongy.

Now this part was originally going to be longer but, I've been getting some crashes in this beta(also I had to cut some outtakes which contain footage I didn't find interesting like not using Graze and playing solo). Specifically, crashes like the one below

Application has crashed: C++ exception
Could not load texture because IDirect3D9::CreateTexture call failed.
Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.

Either my PC(which was built in 2013) or the levels that have optimization issues(like Classic Diamond Heist, Brooklyn Bank, and Reservoir Dogs) caused this crash log.

I'll try to demonstrate the Graze skill again in the next part and I'll to record some more footage of the rebalanced One Down difficulty. The next part might get delayed by a day because I have to go a local competition tomorrow(that lasts for the whole day).

One more thing, the Brrrrt joke was thrown a few times(which is why the video is titled a bit awkwardly). It's a funny joke it just that I didn't get it at this time of the recording until I looked back it.
