</>What does Instant Interactions do?
Instant Interactions takes the holding out of PAYDAY 2. Anything that asks you to hold the interact key and watch the circle fill now completes as soon as you press it. The Instant Interactions switch covers every interaction that has a hold time: picking a lock (up to 45 seconds normally), answering a pager (10 seconds), helping a teammate up (6 seconds), taking jewelry or placing a drill (3 seconds each), bagging a body, tying hands, converting an enemy and the rest. The game still starts and finishes each one the normal way, so a pager still counts as answered and what an action needs is still needed: no cable ties, no tying hands. The Instant Mask On switch skips the two-second hold when you put your mask on. One press and the heist starts; the short animation of pulling the mask down still plays. Some waits are not hold actions and keep their time. A drill, saw or timed computer still runs for as long as its own timer says, and placing your own ammo bag, doctor bag or other deployable uses a separate timer. This mod works when you play solo, or when you host a friends-only or private lobby. In a public lobby, or when you join someone else's game, both switches stand down and the normal hold times apply; a line on the HUD tells you once. Switch an option off and the next action takes its normal time again. Nothing is written to your save.
</>What is Instant Interactions?
This mod removes the hold times from PAYDAY 2's interactions. With Instant Interactions on, lock picks, pagers, revives, body bagging, cable ties and loot that needs a hold all complete on the press. Instant Mask On does the same for the mask at the start of a heist. Drills, saws and timed computers keep their own timers, and each switch can be used without the other.
</>Common questions about Instant Interactions
Which actions does Instant Interactions finish at once in PAYDAY 2?
Every interaction that normally has a hold time. That includes picking locks, answering pagers, bagging bodies, tying hands, converting an enemy, helping a teammate up, placing a drill and taking loot that needs a hold, such as jewelry. The longer the hold, the more you notice it: the hardest locks go from 45 seconds to one press, and a pager from 10 seconds. Actions that were already a single press, like grabbing loose money, are unchanged, and so is anything you do with the switch off.
Do drills, saws and timed computers finish at once too?
No. Placing the drill is a hold action, so that part takes one press, but the drill then runs for as long as its own timer says. The same goes for saws and timed computers. Placing your own deployables, such as an ammo bag or doctor bag, also uses a separate timer that this mod leaves alone.
Can I use Instant Interactions in an online lobby?
Yes, when you are the host and the lobby is friends-only or private, and also when you play solo. In a public lobby, or in a game someone else hosts, both switches stand down and the normal hold times apply. The HUD tells you once.
Why does my weapon still dip for a moment when I interact?
The game still starts and finishes each interaction the way it normally does, only with almost no time in between. That keeps pagers, revives and mission objects working as usual, and it means you still see your weapon lower for a moment on the press.
What does Instant Mask On change?
Only the two-second hold before the mask goes on. Press the key once and you are masked up and the heist is live. The short animation of pulling the mask down still plays before you can shoot, and nothing else about the heist or the alarm changes.

Best For
- A guard's pager goes off while another guard walks your way, so you answer it with one press and move.

- You're replaying a stealth heist with friends in a private lobby and want the locked doors open without the long lock picks.
More Mods for PAYDAY 2
Free Camera
One switch turns on the fly-around camera the developers built for PAYDAY 2. During a heist your view lifts off and moves wherever you steer it with the keyboard and mouse, while your heister stays where they stand. The HUD hides for a clean picture and comes back when you switch it off.
Enemies Don't Shoot & No Police Assaults
Two switches for loud heists in PAYDAY 2. Enemies Don't Shoot makes cops, guards, gangsters, snipers and special units aim without ever firing, and No Police Assaults keeps the assault waves from starting. Works solo or as host of a friends-only or private lobby.
No Recoil & No Spread
Switch off recoil and bullet spread for your own weapons, swap weapons instantly, and set the fire rate anywhere from 25% to 500%.
