Avoid ever being John Wick

The October Crimefest brought about 2 additional playable characters within the game, namely Hoxton and the terribly acted John Wick.

Within the game you can set your preferred character to whatever one you like and, so long as nobody in the lobby has it, you will be set as that character. Unfortunately if you happen to join a server, and somebody already has your character, it defaults to one of the others... through bad luck I seem to get John Wick.

Is there anyway that I can avoid ever being defaulted to the John Wick character?

Best Answer

Unfortunately no, there's no way to prevent being a specific character.

From the Payday 2 Lua files:

function NetworkGame:check_peer_preferred_character(preferred_character)
    local free_characters = clone(CriminalsManager.character_names())
    for pid, member in pairs(self._members) do
        local character = member:peer():character()
        table.delete(free_characters, character)
    end
    if table.contains(free_characters, preferred_character) then
        return preferred_character
    end
    local character = free_characters[math.random(#free_characters)]
    print("Player will be", character, "instead of", preferred_character)
    return character
end

If your preferred character isn't available, it just picks one at random. Only real solution is to play with friends, and make sure you all have the character you want.

The story is loosely inspired by an incident in Texas involving former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who wrote Lone Survivor, about his fireteam's ordeal during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005.

Why do they call him John Wick?

Trivia. The movie name was supposed to be named Scorn but Keanu loved the name John Wick so much the directors agreed to change it. Jardani translates to John from Romany, and "Wick" is the phonetic pronunciation of the final four letters of his birth name.

Who is John Wick inspired by?

John Woo is the real source of inspiration for John Wick here, though, despite the similarities between the film's plots. With his action-packed scenes and thrilling fight sequences which turn bullet battles into brilliant ballet, it's easy to see the comparisons between his movies and this American franchise.
