Hello heisters.

Earlier this week we were excited to share our Halloween celebration this year with all of you, via a Halloween themed stream on several platforms. One of the main features of this stream was that we offered Drops on Twitch, for ingame outfits matching the outfits of our stream stars for the evening. We’re incredibly honored to see the excitement you all showed us for our evening look.

However, shortly after the festivities died down we noticed a problem; A lot of you reported that you were unable to find the Haunted outfit ingame after claiming the Drop. When we started the investigation, we quickly found an issue with the way this particular outfit was named on the Twitch campaign side, so it didn’t award correctly for most of you despite filling the conditions. We’re not able to fix this without restarting the Twitch campaign. Instead of this, we have decided to award the outfit to all players with a Starbreeze account. All you need to do to receive the outfit is to launch the game, with your account connected, before the end of the Twitch Drop campaign.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this. We hope you now will still enjoy dressing up as our banshee, and keep watching PAYDAY 2 on Twitch to earn the remaining Twitch Drops.

Keep those helmets flying!

Much love,
OVERKILL_Elisabeth

Happy scary-day heisters!

A solid three updates in a single month each with new content, what’s going on here? Who are we and what did we do with the good people at OVERKILL? Well the crew is safe and this is just your lucky month. You’ve just been good this year and we wanted to give you something special yet again.

We’re releasing three new outfits that you can use to show enemies and innocent bystanders alike the true meaning of fear! … I mean, I guess gunfire and excessive violence would do that just fine… In any case, you are getting brand new outfits, a whole 3 outfits including suits, masks and gloves. And a pair of "non-descript" glasses.

To claim these items, all you need to do is to watch a stream! Ideally ours, starting (live now!). You’ll also need a Starbreeze Account connected to Twitch and Steam. If you can't make it to our Horrifying Halloween stream, just watch any participating PAYDAY 2 streamer in the week that follows.

Good orange month to you heisters! And a happy spring to the southern-hemisphere crooks out there. Despite getting closer to the end of the year, we’re not done yet. Coming right out of celebrating 11 years since the release of PAYDAY: The Heist, we move on from old to new with the release of the Lost in Transit heist!

[h2]The Lost in Transit heist[/h2]
The crew has been tasked by their new Texas accomplices with getting their hands on a shipment of printing plates being transported by high-security trains. While our heisters are no strangers to train robbery while in movement, this time we’ll try to stop the trains while they’re still at the station.

We hope to see you in crime.net playing the new heist!

[h2]Marshal Shield[/h2]
While we've certainly enjoyed our time in Texas, they have not liked having us. We tread on their pride once too many and now they're bringing forth new forces against us.
The Marshal Shield units have, not entirely surprisingly, shields. These high-tech shields are equipped with flashers able to blind any foe brave or foolish enough to face them. This does not come entirely without downsides though as a diligent heister can destroy the shields, revealing the soft highly shootable Marshal beneath. Even if you manage to de-shield this new threat however, don't feel safe yet - as that's when they bring out the big guns, literally.

[h2]Twitch Drops[/h2]
Not only are you getting a new heist and new enemies, we've upped the ante with some new Twitch drops. A classic outfit to make you fit in at the train yard you're about to absolutely destroy.

The drops are available to anyone that has a Starbreeze Account linked to Steam and Twitch, check it out here

[h2]Accessibility Options[/h2]
Lastly, we’ve added options for those of you who’d like to protect your hearing in Disable Tinnitus Ringing Effect under accessibility options. Additionally now that we added more flashes to the game, you can turn those flashes dark instead of bright white also under accessibility > Screen Flash Color. This’ll help you not hit your toes on everything after a session of late-night heisting.

This release continues the Texas Heat campaign and rounds off the Lost in Transit story. If you haven’t already the Lost in Transit bundle contains 4 DLC at a huge up-front discount.

If, on the other hand, you prefer your DLCs on their own, you can pick up the Lost in Transit heist as a single.

Happy 11th PAYDAY anniversary heisters! If PAYDAY was a person, it’d be able to vote, have a beer or drive… ok, maybe not any of those, but certainly old enough to take part in armed robbery!

We’re thrilled to yet again have you with us as we celebrate another year of PAYDAY. While 11 years isn’t the most well celebrated anniversary, we still feel you’ve been good at being bad this year and deserve a little something.
When preparing for this celebration, we asked ourselves, what or who aside from PAYDAY personifies crime? Our minds were brought back to the gangster era of 1920’s USA and all the great stories that were born there. To that end, we put together a very special outfit, two masks and a stinger reminiscent of one of the world’s most known and (beloved?) criminal masterminds, for you, our favorite crooks.

To claim the items you need to have a Starbreeze Account linked to your Steam account, if you don’t already have a Starbreeze Account you can sign up here.

In addition to the freebies we also got an absolutely massive changelog of various fixes and changes, you can check those out here.

Lastly, we stream on most Thursdays from 17:00 CEST(GMT+1). This week we're hosting special anniversary stream playing PAYDAY: The Heist, feel free to stop by our Twitch Channel.!

Keep those helmets flying!
