The Gage Ninja Pack DLC is one of the most extensive DLC Packs released so far
It contains
-1 Sniper Rifle: The first semi-automatic Sniper Rifle in the Game; The Walther 2000
-1 Submachine Gun: The Kriss Vector
-1 Special Secondary Weapon: a Pistol-style Crossbow
-1 New Type of Throwables: Shuriken
-1 New Type of Arrows for the Plainsrider Bow and Bolts for the Crossbow: Poison
-4 New Melee Weapons: A Ninjutsu-Punch, Sai, Talons, and Kunai
-4 New Masks
-4 New Mask Patterns
-4 Achievements

Masks and Achievements are not weighed into the final rating as they're cosmetic only.


The Lebensauger .308 (Walther 2000) is the first Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle in Payday 2. To sum it up, it's pretty much an M308 with Penetration and everything doubled (except reload speed). Concealment is very good at a base of 16 and a max of 18. Ammo Pickup Rate seems to be an average of 1.5 shots per box, which is a remarkable trait for a sniper rifle.


The Kross Vertex (Kriss Vector) Submachine Gun is meh. It's a half-decent gun in close-quarter-combat, but its high RoF (1200 RPM) combined with low accuracy (8 base) makes it ill-suited for medium to long range engagements.
Base concealment of 20 with 21 max, no folded stock or smaller magazine attachments to make it viable for stealth. Definetly the laziest gun of the DLC.

The Crossbow works similar to the Plainsrider Bow, but instead of having to be drawn before every shot, it has a quite extensive reload time after each one. Similar concealment at 26 base (28 max), Bolts can be retreived from terrain or corpses by walking over them.

The Shuriken are the STAR (get it?) of this DLC. These things wreck ♥♥♥♥. A single hit to the head kills an MRF, and they can be retreived just like bow arrows and crossbow bolts.
Gone are the days where an accidental hit of the grenade button ruined your stealth heists.

Out of the melee weapons, the Kunai is the only one that's not just another melee weapon.
The Kunai has a fixed chance to apply a DoT-effect to an enemy, and stunning him at the same time. Applying this to special units can save lives at a regular basis. It also has 30 concealment (32 with Hidden Blade basic) which makes it the best choice for stealth.

Overall this DLC is solid. However the badness of the Vector is tearing this DLC down for me. I almost take it as an insult, since I am one of the people who have been demanding this gun's presence in the game for several years.

If you want this DLC for Ninja Swag, you want this DLC.
If you want this DLC for the Vector, you don't want this DLC
