'Payday 3' Will Be Getting Major Free Update This Month, Includes Two Legacy Heists

by Rainier on Nov. 14, 2023 @ 9:12 a.m. PST

Set in New York City, Payday 3 is a high-octane, first-person co-op shooter game that lets players live out the fantasy of being a world-class career criminal and master the art of heisting.

Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang, the envy of their peers and the nightmare of law-enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew’s reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, they assemble once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement.

Payday 3 takes players to the city of unlimited possibilities - New York City.

The Payday Gang, consisting of Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains return from retirement, and find themselves in the Big Apple after an unknown threat appears, shattering the illusion of peacefully living on the “right” side of the law. As they say, “Leopards can’t change their spots”, and thanks to years of experience and a mysterious new player in the criminal underworld, they quickly get their hands on the first lucrative heists and leave their explosive calling card with the city's security and police forces.

Players will discover new ways to pull off the perfect heist thanks to new skills, gadgets and weapons while the Payday 3 storyline will continuously expand with new content and challenges.

The next major update for Payday 3 coming in November will bring back fan-favorite heists from Payday 2, known as Legacy Heists, allowing players to relive the thrill and excitement of these re-imagined classic heists. The update also includes a new skill line, brand new first person interaction animations, Infamy Points to heist payout, two new banging tracks from Gustavo Coutinho and more than 200 additional bug fixes and improvements.

Cook Off and Turbid Station have been reimagined to fit in the recently launched title and to improve how the heist works with the new feature set of Payday 3

The free content update for Payday 3 will offer:

  • Two Legacy Heists (Cook Off & Turbid Station)
  • The Transporter skill line
  • Brand new first person interaction animations
  • Weapon inspect animations
  • Added Infamy Points to heist payouts
  • The "Under Wraps" mask
  • The "Compact7 Lycan" preset weapon
  • New music by composer Gustavo Coutinho
  • Optimization improvements
  • 200+ bug fixes and many balancing and quality of life improvements

The full list of updates and changes will be released closer to the release of the patch.

Key Features:

  • The Tightest Crew - The legendary Payday Crew, feared by the law and underworld alike, is back. New York City has a lot of opportunities for a heister with a plan. 
  • Give in to your greed - Give outlet to your greed and let loose in Payday 3. Claim any valuables you might come across in order to build a private arsenal of weapons, cosmetics and accolades. 
  • The Art of Heisting - In Payday 3 the choice is in the hands of the players. Choose your equipment, your skills and your approach. Each heist will play differently depending on the choices you make. 
  • Thrive in Co-op - play heists with elegance, as in Ocean's Eleven, or go toe-to-toe with the security services, as in HEAT. Each playthrough is unique and full of action and tension!

Payday 3 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) at $39.99.
