PAYDAY 2 News

[h2]Hello Heisters[/h2]

And so, the 9 year anniversary celebration comes to an end. We hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as we enjoyed watching you work together to feed the pig to excess. The effort you guys put in, the jokes and videos, you guys make it all worth it. Even to the point of inspiring us to create two stretch goals and even extending the event.

The original plan was for the event items to be unlockable only during the event, but we heard your feedback and are adding a side-job that lets anyone who couldn’t participate unlock the items later. The side-job will prove more difficult than if you had participated in the event, but the piggy demands sacrifices in lieu of food.

Due to its popularity during the event, we decided to immortalize the golden piggy as a weapon charm, available for everyone.


Those piggies have been fed!

Hello Heisters.

While the 9th Anniversary celebrations are still going strong thanks to the extended event, we have one more thing we’d like to share with you. Our community is one of the strongest out there, and it’s also incredibly diverse. This means that while a lot of you speak English, there’s also quite a lot (maybe even more) who don’t. Because of this, we’ve decided to launch a second PAYDAY 2 Discord server, specifically aimed towards our French speaking heisters out there.

If you speak French and want to hang out with your fellow French speaking heisters, then make sure to join the French PAYDAY 2 Discord server today!

And for everyone else, I’m sure you’re all asking “But what about [insert other language here]?”. As of now, we’re trying this out with the French community only. If this server ends up being successful, we’ll look at expanding it for other popular languages as well. So keep an eye out for that. And keep those helmets flying!

Much love,
OVERKILL_Elisabeth

First of all, we'd like to thank everyone for joining us in celebrating the 9th Anniversary of PAYDAY 2. We've had a great time watching you fatten the golden pig, and we hope you've enjoyed doing so as well.

We've seen a lot of feedback about the time span for the event, both from people who were unable to participate due to vacations or other reasons, or simply those of you who had so much fun that you want more. As a result of that, we've decided to extend the event until Wednesday, the 24th of August. This is nearly a full extra week, and more importantly an extra weekend, of golden piggy bucks and the cash blaster. This should also give you the extra time needed to reach that last stretch goal of 20 million piggy bucks to unlock the 9th Anniversary Mega Mask. Our talented team has already finished making these, so please don't make us put the mask back on the shelf if the milestone isn't met :(

If you haven't already, check out the 9th Anniversary website to see how the event is progressing and get a closer look at the stretch goal items. The original three milestones are already ready to claim in-game once you reach your personal challenges, while the stretch goal items will be added once the event ends.

Keep those piggy bucks coming!

Check out the announcement to read more.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or joined at any time in the past 9 years, we’re here because of you. To give you a small show of our appreciation for your continued support, we have put together an event that we hope you’ll enjoy.

So grab your mask, rally your heister friends being kept from their criminal calling by family or work and let’s get rambling!

You can find out more about the event at the PAYDAY 2 9th Anniversary Site

[h2]Little Piggies all grown up![/h2]
This year's anniversary celebrations will center around a massive golden Piggy Bank, and our job is to fill the Piggy Bank with those sweet Piggy Bucks!

Defeating enemies will grant you a bag of Piggy Bucks; headshots or Cash Blaster kills will grant you the Piggy Bucks bags faster than normal kills. As you throw bags into the Piggy Bank it will grow in size. You can choose to cash out by breaking the Piggy Bank at any time and get away with what you collected. The Piggy will need more and more bags to grow the higher the stage you are on. You’ll be able to claim a reward for breaking the Piggy once the heist is completed, there is also a 3-tiered community challenge with awesome cosmetics to work towards as well as 4 personal challenges with additional XP rewards to unlock. You may work on these challenges across several runs of the 35 heists available in the event. Get out there and collect some Piggy Bucks, but be fast about it, don't leave the bags on the ground too long. Can you persevere to see the piggy’s ultimate form?



[h2]Community Challenges[/h2]
It’s time again to work together and unlock some sweet-ass threads. The heisters need some new bling and the Piggy needs more Piggy Bucks. There is only one thing to do. Bring the Piggy Banks lots of bags. The Piggy is feeling generous and will give you a new set of gloves for a mere 100,000 bags of Piggy Bucks. But if you want the suit then you need to provide the Piggy with 1,500,000 bags of Piggy Bucks. No heister can leave an event without a sick new mask. This mask has been hand-assembled by Locke himself from hundreds of flawless diamonds that sparkle as the light dance on the surface of the mask. This mask can be yours for the bargain price of 3,000,000 bags of Piggy Bucks.

Note: This outfit is only unlockable during the 9th Anniversary event (though might show up again in the future) so make sure you participate or at the very least join in to claim the outfit.

Gloves: Magic Touch Masks: Nine Lives Outfits: Money Laundering, Dress for Success

[h2]Cash Blaster[/h2]
The long-awaited return of a favorite! The Cash Blaster functions kinda like a very expensive flame thrower, even with fuel prices being what they are. Blast your foes with wads of cash and they’ll be too busy collecting the crips bills you launch at them to fight back. Once you have completed atleast 2 heists in the event and given the Piggy a total of 10 Piggy Bucks bags, the Cash Blaster will once again be available for use.



[h2]XP Boost[/h2]
Along with the Cash Blaster, we’ve enabled an XP boost. Simply play the game and you’ll see increased rewards from pretty much anything. We did just add a new way to go infamous, so maybe now is the time?



Oink! Oink! Keep them bags coming!
