Sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever, PAYDAY 3 will be with us in just a couple of months. In this post, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to get your heist on.
Last month, Deep Silver and Starbreeze opened their high-security vault to reveal the first gameplay from PAYDAY 3. Set to drop in the insanely busy September launch window, PAYDAY 3 will see players step out of retirement and back into a life of crime with the OG Payday crew.
The Crew
The legendary Payday crew is back! Ripped from their righteous retirement to rejoin the criminal underworld by a new threat born from the chaos the crew left behind.
PAYDAY 3 will see our fabled crew dreaded by the law and underworld, alike, leave their Washington, DC, roots to take on New York City. This new location will bring exciting challenges and opportunities for a heister with a plan.
The Art of Heisting
Every professional knows it takes hard work, planning, and a good amount of luck in order to execute the perfect heist. In PAYDAY 3, how each job is tackled is put into the hands of the players. Whether you sneak or go in guns blazing, whether you let your hostages go or keep them around as pawns, whether you go at it alone or bring friends. The choices are endless and in your hands. They will vastly change how the game plays.
CO-OP
Who do you trust? No. Who do you really trust with your life? Not just anyone is worthy of joining your crew. Once again, the Payday franchise is returning with their legendary CO-OP mode. Better yet, Payday 3 has crossplay. Here’s hoping our friends have finally learned the meaning of stealth this time around.
