Modular Gameplay, Carry, and Stealth Overhaul for PAYDAY 2
Sapphire+ is a comprehensive, modular SuperBLT modification for PAYDAY 2. It modernizes loot carry mechanics, expands solo stealth capabilities with multi-keycard pickup and infinite camera loops, removes loadout detection penalties, eliminates pre-planning budget constraints, and provides a customizable in-game menu.
All features are fully configurable in-game and protected by an intelligent multiplayer Safe Mode system to ensure seamless, fair play in public lobbies.
- Multi-Pickup (Keycards & Consumables): Enables stacking consumable mission items (Keycards, Planks, C4, Thermite) in your inventory without hitting vanilla quantity restrictions. Allows solo heisters to open multi-keycard objectives such as the Shadow Raid vault.
- Infinite Camera Loop: Extends tape loop duration to 99,999 seconds. Fully synchronized with Extra Heist Info (EHI) and HUD timer overlays.
- Minimum Detection Risk (Always 3): Forces detection risk to the engine minimum (3 Detection Risk / 0.0 suspicion offset) regardless of equipped armor (ICTV) or heavy weapons, while granting maximum bonuses to Sneaky Bastard and Low Blow.
- AI Can't Alarm: Prevents guards, civilians, and law enforcement units from raising the global alarm or shooting panic flares.
- Random Pager Removal: Configurable slider (1% to 100%) that gives security guards a random chance to drop no pager upon elimination, preserving your 4-pager limit.
- Auto-Answer Pagers: Automatically answers security pagers immediately upon neutralizing guards.
-
Carry Weight & Sprint Overhaul: Sprint freely at full speed while carrying gold, artifacts, or nuclear warheads. Eliminates the movement and jumping penalties associated with heavy bags.
-
Bag Throw Distance Multiplier: Configurable slider (1.0x to 5.0x) to toss loot bags over fences, across rooftops, or directly into escape vehicles.
-
Jump Height with Heavy Bags: Retains full jumping height while carrying any loot type, allowing effortless vaulting over obstacles.
-
Affect Body Bags: Optionally applies all carry sprint, jump, and movement multipliers directly to civilian and guard body bags.

No Fall Damage: Eliminates fall damage when jumping from roofs, balconies, or crane platforms while carrying loot.
-
Bag Damage Absorption (Bag Shield): Configurable damage reduction (0% to 100%) applied while actively carrying a loot bag.

God Mode (Invincible): Zeroes all incoming bullet and melee damage. A dedicated cheat-tier toggle, independent of "AI Can't Alarm"; automatically disabled by Safe Mode when joining as a multiplayer client.
-
Infinite Stamina: Prevents stamina drain while carrying a loot bag, so you never slow to a walk mid-carry. (It does not remove stamina drain when you are not carrying.)
-
Anti-Flashbang Shield: Grants complete immunity against flashbang whiteout blinding screens, camera shake, and ear-ringing audio.
-
Instant Full-Charge Melee: Quick-tap melee attacks automatically deliver 100% full charged damage and maximum knockdown impulse without holding the key.
-
No Weapon Sway (Zero Drift): Nullifies stance breathing amplitudes across all stances for laser-steady crosshairs and precision aiming.

Instant Mask On: Puts on your mask immediately in casing mode without holding the interaction key for 2 seconds.

-
Infinite Weapon Ammo: Prevents weapon clip depletion upon firing with zero reload downtime.
-
No Weapon Recoil: Completely eliminates vertical and horizontal recoil kick when firing any weapon.
-
No Bullet Spread (Laser Beam): Zeroes bullet cone deviation for pin-point laser accuracy on all guns.
-
All Weapons Full Auto: Enables full-automatic fire mode toggling on semi-auto pistols, DMRs, and shotguns.
-
Infinite Cable Ties: Unlimited cable ties to secure all civilians and hostages in stealth or crowd control.
-
Infinite Body Bags: Unlimited body bags to package and hide eliminated guards in stealth operations.
-
Infinite Throwables & Grenades: Prevents grenades, molotovs, and shurikens from depleting on throw.
-
Fast Weapon Swap (3x Speed): Triples weapon switching animation speed for rapid arsenal cycling.
-
Stealth GPS (Patrol Path Visualizer): Renders real-time 3D patrol lines and destination waypoints in world space for moving guards in stealth mode.
-
Disable All Alarm Lasers: Tactical in-game action that instantly deactivates all laser grids, tripwires, and alarm sensor fields map-wide.
-
Unlock & Open All Doors: Tactical in-game action that instantly unlocks all doors, security rooms, and keycard gates.
-
Open All Deposit Boxes & ATMs: Tactical in-game action that instantly pops open all safe deposit boxes, ATMs, and lockers.
-
Fix & Finish All Drills: Tactical in-game action that instantly unjams and fast-forwards all active drills, saws, and hacking panels.
-
Restock All Supplies: Tactical in-game action that instantly replenishes player health, armor, weapon ammunition, throwables/grenades, cable ties, and body bags to 100% capacity.
-
Unlimited Pre-Planning Favors: Removes pre-planning favor budget limits and sets asset favor and offshore cash costs to $0. Purchase every asset and escape route without restriction.

Extended Interaction Range: Increases interaction distance up to 5x, allowing lockpicking, keycard grabbing, and pager answering through grates or from cover.

Single-Page Menu: Clean, priority-sorted menu under Options > Mod Options > Sapphire+ Options with category headers and zero sub-menus.
Sapphire+ includes an automated Safe Mode system designed to prevent anti-cheat triggers and desyncs when joining other players:
| Mode / Environment | Safe Mode Status | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Singleplayer / Offline | Inactive | All features and maximum multipliers are fully unlocked. |
| Lobby Host | Inactive | The host has full control over all modules and multipliers. |
| Multiplayer Client | ACTIVE | Cheat-tier features (God Mode, AI Can't Alarm, Instant Interactions, Infinite Stamina, Unlimited Favors) are automatically neutralized. Interaction distance and bag throw multipliers are capped to safe, desync-tolerant thresholds. |
You can also force Safe Mode permanently for host sessions via the in-game settings menu.
