PAYDAY 2 News

Today is a very special day, as we celebrate the 7th anniversary of PAYDAY 2. Since its release, the game and its player base has grown spectacularly. Even now, seven years down the line, we are seeing incredible numbers in terms of how many of you are playing the game each day.

We are immensely grateful to you, the players. Whether you’re a PAYDAY 2 veteran who’s been with us all the time, or a relatively new player that’s only just discovered us this year, we extend to you a heartfelt THANK YOU.

Our player community is one of the strongest in the world for any game, and the engagement and support we feel from all of you is a great motivator for us going forward.

At the studio, we’re always working hard to produce new content, and along with the latest DLCs we’ve also worked on a gift for you, the 7th Anniversary Update, released today!

For more details about the content of the update, see here. Full patch notes can be found below.

We’ve also produced a new piece of art to celebrate the occasion. You can find it on our campaign site linked above.

All of us here at OVERKILL are feeling very good about heading into the PAYDAY future along with you, our community. We hope you feel the same!

Keep those helmets flying,

Almir

As the sun beams down over Mexico our heisters load their rifles, polish their armors, and reline their masks. Something is about to go down. With this update we got lots of fun guns, cool weapon colors and… *drum roll*... Gloves.


The last heist went smoothly but there is one teeny tiny detail we need to sort out.
Vlad’s brother-in-law got himself into a bit of trouble. Who better to sort this situation out than… you guys. While we are still in Mexico we can take the time to break in or sneak into a police station, right? It will be easy, right?


When you have thirty seconds to pick up your weapons before you open fire, it’s good to have a lot of bang at your disposal. With this new pack you’ll have 3 new awesome guns to wreak some havoc with and plenty of mods to tweak the guns just the way you like them. With these guns you and your friends can become a team of true professional badasses.


With recent updates you have been able to choose between lots of snazzy outfits but some may have missed the old classic blue gloves when using the new outfits or perhaps you wanted to use the awesome gloves from one outfit while wearing a different outfit. Now you can freely pick and choose what gloves you wear. There are also 5 brand new gloves that you can use. These are completely free and can be used with any outfit you want. You will not be lacking choices when it comes to hand covers.


Do you think your weapon isn’t military looking enough? Now you can slap some camo patterns on it and really blend into the lush foliage of downtown Washington. Choose between savannah camo, tundra camo, tiger stripes, leopard spots or even Fuschia skulls. Whatever tickles your fancy this pack will have something for you. You will also have some camo patterns available for free or through achievements to get you started. Just don’t put your gun down, you may never find it again.

With the recent update, we noticed that the files for the soundtrack have been removed from people's hard drives. Today we have found the cause of the issue and have addressed it. So now you can nod your head to sweet beats, even when you aren't heisting.

This will, unfortunately, mean the patch today is very large, we apologize for any inconvenience.


Remember to wear masks and latex gloves.
