Mods
- While the modding community may be considerably smaller than its successor, Heat, Payback is moddable; there is a wide variety of mods ranging from gameplay enhancements to car modifications.
- All mods are available from NexusMods and require Frosty Mod Manager (some mods require the Beta version of Frosty).
- There is a tutorial on how to add your custom decals. While this is a Heat-centric guide, the author has mentioned it may work on Payback.
Payback has multiple mods that improve or change the game experience.
- Same Unite experience as with Heat.
- Adds many improvements to the game, including stance, handling, visual and gameplay improvements. It also overhauls the upgrade system.
- Extended stance and handling overhaul are separated from the main mod.
Realistic shadows, no fog, no vignette
- Introduces PCSS shadows, removes fog and vignette
- Camera manipulation tool for taking screenshots.
- A mod created by American musician and animator Devin Millar which enables the game to have what resembles a pursuit mode similar to Need For Speed: Heat. Even though this is just a modified version of the Bait Crate game mode, this is the closest thing to a pursuit mode for this game, which was originally planned but cancelled during it's development.
- This mod makes said events more fun by hiding it's checkpoints and the endpoint, it's paths, enabling free roam activities while in the pursuit, as long with roadblocks, spikestrips, rhinos, killswitches, and even a helicopter which follows you. There might even be two helicopters in your pursuit.
- This new mode can be frustrating since you have to already be familiar with the particular event you're in, and have to already know where the finish line is. This is the only way to end the pursuit.
