PAYDAY 2: Update 248.2 Changelog

OVERKILL - a Starbreeze Studio.

Hello heisters!

Got another round of level adjustments mainly targeting the newly released Under the Hammer heist.

We've been trying to further improve performance as well as address some of the feedback on the level. There are still many areas around the map where performance dips heavily, which we are still investigating.
