# Special Hook IDs

Updated for version 4.0.

## Hooks IDs

Essentially these are hooks added by Beardlib using [Hooks:Register](https://payday-2-blt-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lua/hooks/#hooksregisterhook-hook_id) which can be used with [Hooks:Add](https://payday-2-blt-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lua/hooks/#hooksaddhook-hook_id-id-func).
