Development

PAYDAY 2 was announced when very little information was shared, other than Overkill Software would work on the sequel and 505 Games would publish it. In March, Overkill began showing previews of the game to major gaming publications.

Overkill has attempted to address complaints from the previous game. The PC version is regularly updated, runs smoother and looks much better considering of the larger studio and the bigger upkeep.[2] Furthermore, the game has more downloadable content planned than the previous game. The console versions, yet, have not received the same amount of positive feedback, due to the lack of updates and support. (See below)

As mentioned in a developer Q&A, PAYDAY 2 was supposed to feature special cross-overs into Overkill'southward 2017 co-op zombie survival, Overkill's The Walking Expressionless due to both games taking place in Washington D.C.[9] Even so, with The Walking Dead being pulled from Steam and having been a financial flop, these planned cross-overs never happened.

Some heists, such every bit Bank Heist, accept different variants depending on the goal (i.eastward., cash, gold, deposit boxes).

In each heist, players are required to complete objectives, usually in an effort to steal cash, intel, or valuables.

During the heist, the police will assail with waves of enemies in an attempt to eliminate the players. The players must overcome them and complete the objectives before escaping. For some of the heists, a stealth option is bachelor, allowing players to finish a heist without police intervening. Simply should the alarm be sounded, the law volition begin their assault.

The Skills system featured in the original PAYDAY has been more fleshed out, and has been compared more to an RPG-like leveling system, with five classes, and further 3 categories per class, that players can choose to specialize in:

  • The Mastermind
    • Medic keeps the team live by instantly reviving downed crew members and increasing the effectiveness of the Doctor bags and/or Start Help Kits.
    • Controller allows for easier command of civilians and/or dominating enemies to use as converts, plus constructive for health-focused Perk Decks.

    • Oppressor boosts automatic weaponry, existence the dissimilarity of Sharpshooter, allows for increased stability, piercing through Heavy Units' body armor, and so on.
  • The Ghost
    • Shinobi is all about stealth. Have the odds in your favor by investing into it to increase your effectiveness and capabilities in society to keep things quiet.
    • Artful Dodger works as a contrast to heavy armor builds: Instead of needing to take and tank the bullets, simply avoid them past using high darkening loadouts.
    • Silent Killer serves as an improver to high darkening builds, increasing their effectiveness and damage output.
  • The Fugitive
    • Gunslinger is for pistol lovers who want to evidence off their marksmanship for pistols, too for akimbo variants.
    • Revenant is for heisters who just refuse to get into custody without giving upwards a fight till its final breath.

The following descriptions of each contact are derived direct from the Contractor Database:

CRIME.NET has all the same capabilities equally CRIME.Cyberspace OFFLINE (except for pausing, even if playing lonely), just information technology allows up to four players (1 existence the host) to interact on the aforementioned heist.

Histrion Customization

PAYDAY 2 includes several features to allow players to customize their experience including heist assets, masks, skill copse, and weapons.

Assets

Avails are tools that the thespian can purchase using in-game spending greenbacks to aid in completing the heist. Most heists offer some class of assets and typically have unique ones besides.

For instance, an ammo purse may be purchased for apply in a bank heist and volition be bachelor once the heist starts. In addition to that, the thespian can opt to purchase insider info, which is exclusive to whatsoever variant of the same bank heist.

Some avails are likewise DLC exclusive such as the grenade instance, and thus requires buying of Gage Weapon Pack #01 to buy.

Masks

In addition to choosing your preferred graphic symbol, the role player can unlock new masks, colors, materials, and patterns to customize their appearance. Past default, players will use the iconic masks of each character.

At the cease of each heist during the card drop, the player has a gamble to earn one of the same components. There is as well a adventure that 1 of those drops may comprise an infamous variant of said components.

Information technology should be noted that once a mask (excluding Infamy-reward, event masks, accomplishment-tied and Poetry Jam masks) is customized, it will no longer be bachelor for re-purchase until it is re-acquired via carte drops. Any customization items applied to the mask volition besides be lost (although any items gained from aforementioned exclusions will as well return rather than be deleted).

Skill Copse

Skill trees are an RPG-esque feature which allows the player to remainder between an adaptive and/or specialized playstyle. There are v skill trees in which the role player may pursue: Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, and Avoiding; All of which have 3 subcategories. As players consummate heists and gain feel, they will progressively gain levels; dubbed "Reputation." Each new level will unlock a unmarried skill point (with multiples of ten giving iii).

Players can unlock tiers by allocating enough skill points to proceeds access to more skills. Each of the skill trees offers new abilities (body numberless or silent drilling) to assist the thespian in completing heists.

In each skill tree in PAYDAY two, there are 3 divide sub-trees. For instance, the Mastermind tree has a Medic sub-tree, a Controller sub-tree, and a Sharpshooter sub-tree. Each sub-tree has four tiers: Tier 1, Tier ii, Tier iii, and Tier 4. Skills do not cost whatever spending or Offshore Cash to apply, but prior to the revamped skill copse of the current build of the game, they did require spending cash as well as skill points. Tier one across whatsoever of the copse is 1 signal for basic and 3 points for an ace. Tier 2 costs 2 points for basic, and 4 points for an ace. Tier three costs 3 points for bones, and 6 points for Aced. And finally, Tier iv costs 4 points for basic and eight points for Aced. Instead of respeccing an entire skill tree at once and gaining back all the skill points yous spent a per centum of the cash you spent, you can now respect any individual skill and gain dorsum the skill points you spent.

Weapon Modifications

Instance prototype showing different modifications for the Compact-5 submachine gun.

Players can earn weapon attachments and other prizes upon successfully completing heists. For longer heists, this takes place at the stop of the final day. Weapon mods are either attachments (such as scopes and suppressors) or modified/replacement parts (such as new stocks, foregrips, etc). Each weapon just supports specific mods, though well-nigh mods are usable on more than than one weapon.

Each weapon mod affects the appearance and stats of the weapon. Some include a tradeoff (for case, increasing accuracy but decreasing concealability), while others just make positive changes. Players should take care to look at the modernistic's consequence on the stat's table, every bit some descriptions are not e'er updated.

Afterwards a weapon mod is plant, information technology is placed into the role player's inventory. The player may utilise spending cash to attach a modern to a weapon. The modern tin be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory at any time but will cost the same amount to attach it again. For this reason, it is more cost effective to have two of a weapon with dissimilar mods than to take the mods on and off (e.g. owning a Compact-v with a silencer fastened for stealth and another with no silencer for greater damage, rather than repeatedly paying to remove and attach the silencer as needed).

Modernistic effects stack but are constrained; for example, if adding 2 mods that increase the stability of a weapon to the maximum value possible, adding a 3rd mod that would otherwise increment stability will have no effect. Conscientious balancing of mods can improve the weapon with no downside if the negative effect of each mod is canceled by a positive effect of another.

Perk Decks

Every bit function of Update #39, the skill tier bonuses have been removed from the game, being replaced past the Perk Decks system which works in a similar way, only limits the thespian's admission to beneficial bonuses. Almost of the tier bonuses take been revised into Perks, simply some take been removed entirely as part of the aforementioned update.

Mods and Tools

A number of fan-fabricated programs be to let further command over the PAYDAY 2 experience. This guide gives an overview of some of the available mods.

OVERKILL has confirmed that players will not be banned for using mods. Bans from community platforms, such every bit the PAYDAY 2 Discord, or the PAYDAY ii Steam Community will still be applied.

Controller Support

PAYDAY ii supports controllers, nevertheless, just Xbox 360 controllers and any controllers using the Xinput system volition work. Upon booting PAYDAY ii, make sure you Commencement WITH THE CONTROLLER, otherwise, it will non work. There are some keyboard options still bachelor to the user such every bit the chat feature.

Controller back up does, still, lack certain useful features. Notably, controller players will non exist able to do any of the following:

  • Cartoon directly on the map during Preplanning,
  • Naming weapons in the inventory,
  • Naming skill builds on the switch build screen.

In order to perform any of these actions, a controller-using histrion must therefore, quit Payday two, relaunch it using the mouse and keyboard, make the desired modifications to weapon and skill build names, and then quit PAYDAY 2 again and relaunch it a second fourth dimension, using the controller to pass through the introductory videos to the main menu.

Additionally, Ultimate Edition has been renamed into 'Legacy Edition', which includes all content pre-White House.[viii]

Several pieces of content present in PAYDAY 2 were created as results of Overkill's many collaborations with other studios, gaming companies or authors. Notable examples of such collaborations are the Hotline Miami heist and Jacket Character Pack (with Dennaton Games), The Bomb Heists and Golden Grin Casino (with Lion Game Panthera leo), the four Humble Packs (with Humble Bundle), and the SpeedRunners masks (with DoubleDutch Games).

Demo

In the demo, the player tin can just progress to level 10, therefore restricting their access to most armors, weapons, skills, and equipment. In the main menu, instead of the golden message promoting DLCs, there is a message promoting the full game. On Crime.NET, in that location are but 2 missions available: Banking concern Heist and Watchdogs, and the highest difficulty available is limited to Overkill.

As of March 23rd of 2020, OVERKILL has appear the removal of the Payday Demo version from Steam, which was achieved by an OVERKILL employee asking directly to Valve Software for the demo to be removed from the shop as it was accounted "no longer an accurate reflection of what the in-game feel is today after a multitude of game updates."[14]

Reception

Right later the release of the game, it received positive reviews. Aggregating review websites Gamerankings and Metacritic gave the PC version 78.52% and 79/100.[15] [xvi] The Xbox 360 version was rated 75.00% and 75/100 [17] [18] and the PlayStation 3 version was rated 71.54% and 74/100. [xix] [20]

Gamespot gave PAYDAY 2 a rating of seven/10, while IGN has rated the game college, giving it 8/10. [21] [22]

The game has sold more than a million copies as of 2014, with fourscore% of those sales being digital. PAYDAY 2 was a hitting, pulling Overkill'due south parent company, Starbreeze Studios, out of fiscal loss. [23] [24]

Criticisms of Console versions

Despite the huge success of the PC version, the depression level of attention towards the console ports of the game has attracted a lot of negative feedback from the gaming community. Namely, players bemoan the outright lack of patches, fixes and content updates for the Xbox 360 version even after most a year since the launch date. This is due to Microsoft non approving of the content update organization of PAYDAY 2.

The console versions of the game (Xbox 360 and PlayStation three) remained largely the same until October 2014, where Overkill released an update for both versions bringing DLC and many gameplay changes. On the Steam forums PAYDAY ii: Crimewave Edition thread, Overkill has stated they will drib support for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, citing technical limitations.

Overkill have since released new updates and DLCs for the PS3 version and eventually the Xbox 360 version. DLC'due south include Cuff weapon packs i & 2, Armored Transport, and a gratis mask for the 360 players to reward their patience.

Unfortunately, the Crimewave Edition for the Xbox One has been broken since release. 505 Games has stated: "We're aware at that place's a number of users on XBO who are having connectivity issues on Crime.net. Nosotros're testing the patch at present and hope to have it released in the coming days! We identified three bug on connectivity on the XBO platform (which merely impacts a minor number of players)—to which the patch should correct any freezes and server drops in criminal offense.cyberspace. We're currently working with MSFT on testing the patch!" [25]

Microtransactions Controversy

After the showtime of CrimeFest 2015, on October fifteen, 2015, Overkill implemented a micro-transaction Safes and Drills system in the class of the Black Market Update that has been widely criticized past the fan base, resulting in an overwhelming influx of negative reviews dropping its Steam and Metacritic ratings substantially.

This was due in part to the content update contradicting the statements made in 2013 by so-game managing director David Goldfarb and Overkill/Starbreeze executive Almir Listo[26] that the game will never include microtransactions in any shape or form. The other part of the problem was that this heavily money-dependent system was introduced as part of a "complimentary" customs event reward. Goldfarb himself has openly expressed his antipathy[27] [28] [29] [30] for this movement on his Twitter, and stated that information technology was one of several disagreements with the studio which led to his departure in 2014.

The Drill items required to unlock the Safes initially had to be purchased from an in-game interface for a considerable fee of $2.50 per unit, but due to the overwhelmingly negative community backlash, has since been implemented equally a post-game random drib, which alleviates the money issue.

An apology was issued by Overkill studios and "Team Boosts" as well every bit "Stat Boosts" were implemented as rewards from cards and monthly side jobs, which farther angered the PAYDAY 2 community.

Following the total acquisition of the PAYDAY IP by Starbreeze in May 2016, they have announced their plans to remove the microtransactions arrangement entirely in the well-nigh future, assuasive all to-be-released safes and their contents to exist bachelor to all players as random mail-mission drops. The safes, drills, and skins currently in circulation volition remain as is.[31] [32]

Sequel

Following their acquisition of the PAYDAY IP by Starbreeze in May 2016, the studio has confirmed the development of PAYDAY 3. Non much has been revealed equally of electric current, other than it using the Valhalla engine. In 2017, Starbreeze realized that Valhalla was a terrible engine, and was allegedly integrated into Unreal Engine 4.
