Original unit type list (PD:TH) from official Overkill tools:

I am not sure what these do. pick one of them.

none|static|dev_tools|preview|map|fortress|forest|zones|tests|tombs|roaming|storm|

yacht|jungle|train|mansion|desert|gym|tunnels|western|street|hotel|diamond|

apartment|airport|dynamic|dyn_dev_tools

You will need basic .xml knowledge to do this

All of these are from PD:TH but they will still work in Payday 2

Extension template:

      <extensions>
        <extension class="ScriptUnitData" name="unit_data" />
        <extension name="damage" class="UnitDamage"/>
        <extension name="interaction" class="UseInteractionExt">
          <var name="tweak_data" value="stash_server_cord"/>
          <var name="_interact_object" value="int_location"/>
        </extension>
      </extensions>
      

Page still in development, so no tutorial on how to create a unit

Creating a unit also involves making an .object and .material_config, you will be better off cloning an existing unit and modifying it, rather than creating a new one from scratch.
