Payday 2: A Complete Guide to HUD Mods.

[@sneezindoggo6528]

There is one HUD I’ve been using for quite a while and it quite often gets overlooked. That HUD is MUI. As a person who never understood why should you have loads of information lighting up your screen like a Christmas tree, I loved it. While other HUD mods tend to give you as much information as possible, MUI does the opposite. It is focused on giving the player the maximum amount of workspace. Even the heist tab shows very little information about the contract. However, this HUD still holds to the original Payday 2’s look and features the most important info that you always use during a heist I moved to Holo UI, because I really wanted to experiment with the color scheme of the interface (and I have to admit, painting all of the UI elements in different shades of blue actually looks really cool), but MUI will always be at the top of my list when it comes to choosing a new HUD for Payday 2

[@rng_wizard4708]

Came to the comments just to look for this. Hell, it's the reason I clicked this video. I have fond memories of starting to use MUI when Hoxton Revenge released. It's the only HUD I've used ever since. So much of the information in other HUDS isn't needed, it's just an eyesore and a total clutter. I don't need to know the exact damage I do, the timing on my Armorer invincibility, my numerical HP, an image of the weapon currently in my hand, the SSN of every cop on the map, etc. MUI gives me what I need to know and doesn't waste space on things like telling me there's an assault going right now. Like, wow, I never would have guessed. Why waste time use lot HUD when few HUD do trick?

[@dylanb2990]

@@rng_wizard4708 most people want more info, not less. Otherwise they wouldn’t be looking for a hud mod.

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

For years I've been using a combination of MUI, Crosshair/Hitmarkers and the PocoHUD Floating Healthbar standalone myself. I also love how the MUI healthbar is separated in a way that's easy to tell how much %HP you have too. The only thing about MUI that I dislike is how there's no option to force show the timer during the "Point of no Return phases", other than that, I really like it.

[@stalincare9016]

@@rng_wizard4708 I stack pocohud ontop of Mui and turn off a bunch of options. get the clean asthetic along with damage numbers, kill counts, etc.

[@user-sb7wj1vn4x]

My setup works with visual cues, I have pocohud and vanillahud(cuz its better than wolfhud,more stable and basically the same) everything pretty low opacity, only if i look on stuff it gets information like health circle and also my damage numbers get shown. all nameplates disabled except if i hover over my jokers to look at hp. I like info, but i want it to be accessible if i want to not all the time. i wish there where more dynamic huds, that show stuff like obtainable loot or cops on the map with tab.

there are a ton of great mods out there, but goddamn it, i'm still in love with VoidUI years later. Just those rectangles, the blend between PD:TH's style and PD2's...

Good ol' Pocohud, almost as old as Hoxhud but lasted longer

[@DatDavdus]

As someone who likes the base game feel I absolutely adore Hophud. Feels like the original hud but the damage numbers and the lite invincibility display is the perfect amount of bonus info for me to fully enjoy what's already great.

[@freetime3467]

Thanks, I’ll try

[@HGRianto]

@@freetime3467 The only bug I see so far is when you got downed you'll use Void UI down counter instead of vanilla. This can be avoided by disabling the Void UI's player panel (won't affect other aspects of it).

[@Cameron088]

[@Sierra_Vice]

Really nice list of mods, I use Hotline Miami HUD together with Better Assault Indicator and VanillaHUD Plus. I mainly use VanillaHUD Plus for most of the Stuff and because I originally used WolfHUD as my very first HUD mod ever. The HM HUD is for aesthetics only and I like to play Jacket, so that kinda fits. :D PocoHUD, Void UI and Hop HUD are also my favorites, will try them out some time. All mods are well-made and I appreciate their work, but for me personally, I feel weird playing Payday with a Borderlands or Warframe HUD, basically any HUDs from different FPS-Games. xD

[@nullstang]

One HUD that wasn't mentioned was MUI, just a HUD for minimalists

[@skitof1005]

I much more prefer "Minimalist HUD Pro". It just looks so much cleaner and better.

[@Bay1k]

literally this^

[@WaveOfDestiny]

I use bang hud for that immedieate information always in your field of view without having to look away, health and armor always in your focus is really useful. and bl2 hud mainly for the perk deck names showing near your crewmates names. Too bad both don't have effects for stoic or a couple other perk decks

[@Alpha-1812]

After hoxhud kept breaking after every update, I switched to Pocohud. It has been so good that I even went back to it when I reinstalled PD2. Nowadays I use it alongside VanillaHud+. Originally I had poco displaying my stealth buffs while vanilla+ shows the loud ones. Gradually I shifted to display important info with poco (I am still tweaking but I am aiming for ECM timers, bloodthirst stacks and lock n loaded aced duration, they are for ECM rushes, work out when I can 1 hit melee a dozer and timings for reload when I use auto shotties with DB) while Vanilla display the non essential.
