RAID: World War II is a four-player co-op shooter with some mechanics lifted from PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2, in which you shoot down the German enemy horde with the aid of Aldsto-, er, I mean, Control.

Hmmm...
To do:

There's so much unused stuff!
  • All the censored textures are still present in the international release.
  • Tons of unused voice lines, some clearly meant for unfinished raids Ilija Petrusic, game's creative director, showed on a livestream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lQrXe3BsM).
  • A lot of unused stuff in the code.
  • Drivable jeep and tiger tank.
  • Cut Nagant and HDM pistols.

Unused Graphics

Unused "rc" images

There are unused images for a lot of random things in the game whose names start with "rc_". It's unknown where they were supposed to be used.

Unused Reticles

A bunch of reticles, all of which go unused.

Unused Cubemaps

There's a lot of cubemaps (textures used for reflections) from PAYDAY 2 and PAYDAY: The Heist missions. Some show heists in their early development stages.

Unused Tab Screens

Tab screen was supposed to show a slightly transparent image of mission you are currently playing, but in the end it was scrapped. A lot of these pictures remain in the game.

Unused Loading Screens

Unused Icons

Icons used in the E3 2016 demo are still in the game files.

Placeholder for future raiders

Inside graphics for intel desk, there are two copies of official art of Sterling. They were used as placeholders for future possible raiders. Raid atlas intel table 1.png

Unused bulletins John Cleese photos

In an already unused bulletins, that are talked about here in Unused Menus section, there are 10 unused photos of John Cleese and RAID logo.

Unused Weapons

Distraction Rock

Hmmm...
To do:
Can someone take screenshots of the model?

Probably is an old version of Decoy coins, as coins use DistractionRock logic. Model for unused distraction rock itself can be found in units/vanilla/weapons/wpn_distraction_rock

Pick axe

Among other Steam stats that track number of kills you have with each weapon, there's melee_kills_pick_axe. There's no mention of Pick Axe anywhere in the code.

Unused Text

Unused Mission Objectives

Hmmm...
To do:
There is definitely more unused objectives.

Berlin

In the released game, Berlin can only be roamed around during missions, but originally you could without any missions.

Name Objective
obj_zone_nojob_report_desc Go out to the city, roam the streets, gather random loot.
obj_zone_mid_report_desc Report to Mrs. White and report her operation progress.
obj_zone_mid_report_hl Get back to headquarters and report.
obj_zone_nojob_report_hl Raid.

Camp

Name Objective Note
obj_camp_collect_reward_desc Go to the Mission Table to Collect Reward. There are no rewards you can collect at the Mission Table in released game.
obj_camp_collect_reward_hl Collect Your Reward
obj_camp_goto_tutorial_hl Proceed to Tutorial While not possible in vanilla, you can mod in an option to choose Tutorial as a Raid.

Forest Convoy

Name Objective Note
obj_ger_forest_truckloot_destroyother_desc Prevent the enemy from following you by wrecking all the other trucks.
obj_ger_forest_ambush_fightback_desc The fire is blocking our way, wait for it to light off.
obj_ger_forest_ambush_fightback_hl Wait for the fire to light off

Unused Code

There's a lot of code from PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2 that goes completely unused.

Throwable Ammo Bags

Located in lib/units/props/throwableammobag.lua there's code for throwable ammo bags. They have 3 levels of upgrades which would probably increase the amount of ammo stored in them. These ammo bags check for collissions with other players, so they were probably meant as a throwable to help your teammates out if they run out of ammunition.

Attempting to execute this code in released game will result in a crash, as unit it tries to load is missing.

Mission Regions

lib/tweak_data/operationstweakdata.lua defines three regions: Germany, France, and Africa. Only Germany is used.

Early Mission Regions

While in the released game every mission is set in Germany, internal name IDs of some missions imply they were set in other regions.

Mission Name Early Region
Wiretap Africa
Strongpoint Africa

"Best of" awards's XP bonuses and loot values

"Best of" awards you get at the end of missions, like most headshots, or most specials killed, were originally meant to give XP bonuses and "loot values" (probably greed items progress), but this functionality goes unused.

Award XP Bonus Loot value Notes
Most kills 50 20
Most specials killed 100 20
Most accurate 75 20
Most headshots 100 20
Most downs -50 -20 Goes unused as a "Best of" award, but has a copy as "Worst of" award
Most revives 100 20

"Worst of" awards don't have any bonuses or loot values.

Raider colors

In lib/tweak_data/tweakdata.lua every raider is assigned a unique color to color player names in chat and possibly other places, but these colors go unused as chat HUD simply ignores them and nothing else even asks for it.

Character Color
Wolfgang ███
Kurgan ███
Rivet ███
Sterling ███
Team AI ███

Unused Menus

Debug menu

There's a button and some assets for a Debug menu, but menu itself is not shipped with released game.

Debug menu buttons.texture.png

Button backgrounds for this menu

Debug menu tickbox.texture.png

Checkboxes for this menu. Look similar to PAYDAY 2 checkboxes.

Intel desk

Intel Desk has 3 unused menus. Bulletins and Operational Status, major updates and patch notes respectively, are fully complete and can be re-enabled by simply adding back buttons to switch to them. Control Archive, on the other hand, is missing table where videos are defined, so it crashes when you switch to it.

Control Archive

Control Archive in Intel Desk would allow player to rewatch mission unlock cutscenes starring Control. All the functionality is still in the game, but table where videos are defined is missing. We can guess what was there based on unused strings.

String ID Name Possible video
control_archives_1 Shove it! movies/vanilla/mission_briefings/02_mission_brief_a2_cause-carnage_v005

Unused Challenge Cards

Developers added on Steam a lot of challenge cards that cannot be obtained. Even if user has them, they still can't be used in the game as they are missing from challengecardstweakdata.lua which defines what cards can be used.

Card Name Description

Unused Videos

Update Videos

There's 18 unused videos that were probably meant to play before showing player new content, like new raiders, levels, and weapons. Here's a playlist with all of them.

Regional Differences

Hmmm...
To do:
Every texture with a Nazi swastika has a censored version with another symbol.

Videos

Depending on whether you failed or succeeded in a mission, one of these rather humorous videos would play to reward/mock you. In the German version before August 16, 2022[4], these videos had all Nazi imagery and swastikas removed along with changing Hitler to have a comically massive mustache.
