Payday 3 Launches with New Stealth Mechanic Using Keypads, but Lacks Tutorials Explaining Fingerprint Clues

Payday 3 finally launched on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, with new stealth gameplay mechanics like keypad codes.
Keypads can be found guarding special rooms and vaults, but brute forcing codes risks alerting enemies.
Getting close to a keypad activates a blacklight, revealing fingerprints that indicate the code numbers.
Players should compare fingerprint numbers to codes found in the level to deduce the right order.
Many get stuck since there's no clear indication a blacklight highlights prints, with no animation or tutorial explaining it.
