Accessibility

Accessibility for PAYDAY 2 gathers ten options in one place: a colour filter with its strength, contrast, text size, two comfort switches the game's menu doesn't have, and four options that set the game's own accessibility settings for you. Each one works on its own. Colour Filter shifts the colours of the heist so the ones you mix up stand further apart. Pick the kind of colour vision you have: Red-Green (Green-Weak) is the most common, Red-Green (Red-Weak) makes reds look dark, and Blue-Yellow is for mixing up blue with green or yellow with pink. Greyscale removes colour entirely. Filter Strength sets how far the shift goes, from 0 to 100, so you can stop where colours still look natural to you. Night vision and the view through security cameras keep their own look while you use them. High Contrast, from 0 to 100, pulls light and dark further apart and makes colours stronger, on its own or together with a filter. While a filter or High Contrast is on, it takes the place of the look picked under Color Grading in the game's video options. That setting itself is left alone, and the look you chose comes back when both are off. Text Size makes the text in menus, on the HUD and in subtitles bigger, from 100, the game's normal size, up to 150. It raises the sizes PAYDAY 2 uses for its own screens, so a menu or HUD part shows the new size the next time it opens, and a few screens after the next loading screen. Signs and computer screens inside a heist keep their size. No Screen Shake keeps the camera still. Firing a weapon, melee swings, taking hits, explosions, Taser shocks and hard landings no longer shake the view, and the slow breathing sway while you stand still stops too. Your aim still climbs with recoil exactly as before. It can help players who feel motion sick or lose track of the action when the view shakes. No Blur keeps the picture sharp. In the normal game the screen blurs while you're down, after a flashbang, inside areas that blur your view and on every hit when a hit flash colour is on. Colour changes stay, so you still see the flashbang flash and the grey tint when you're down. It can help players with low vision and anyone who finds a blurred screen hard to read. Flashbang Screen Colour sets the colour that covers your screen when a flashbang goes off: white, light grey, grey, dark grey or black. Hit Flash Colour sets the flash that shows when you take a hit: off, yellow, one of three greys or black. A darker flashbang is easier on players who are sensitive to bright flashes, and a visible hit flash helps players who can't rely on sound to notice hits. No Flashbang Ringing turns off the high ringing tone after a flashbang. No Head Bob turns off the game's head bob setting, which removes the camera jolt when you start to sprint; the bob while you walk and run is stilled by No Screen Shake. These four use PAYDAY 2's own settings and only its own values, so the game's options menu shows the same choice, and your own choices come back when you set an option back, switch it off or turn the mod off.
