PAYDAY 2: Enemy Visual Update


What’s good Heisters?
Today is the last day of the Steam Summer Sale and it looks like our dear friends in law enforcement freed up some budget to upgrade their gear.

With today’s update, we are not only filling the missing spaces for the ZEALs, but also took a second look at our full units lineup, that has been evolving over the years. Our main goal was to increase the readability on each difficulty and between all the individual units to help players decide their next target while being in a pickle. To do that, we looked at the individual units and tried to identify, what makes this unit unique, like for example the color scheme of the Taser, you’ll find more information further down.


The ZEAL Cloaker returns and with him comes the new ZEAL Taser. Besides the two new entries, all ZEAL Dozers received a new helmet design making them hard to miss in the crowd. Last but not least, we did slight adjustments on both the normal and heavy units, to make them better fit their forerunners from the lower difficulties.


If you have ever been tazed in the middle of the heat, you know that these guys are no joke! While adding the new ZEAL Taser we decided to take it a step further and adjust his small brother as well. Both of them are now carrying a yellow weapon that is hard to forget once it was pointed at you from close range. Last but not least we updated the rest of their armor to better fit their iconic blue and yellow theme.


We removed the shoulder pads and head torches from all normal units to make them even more distinguishable from their heavy partners. Additional we toned down the helmets and vests throughout all difficulties. All heavy units are now carrying a head torch emphasizing their silhouette. On Mayhem and above, we added some tan color to reflect their OVERKILL forerunner and make them easier to read within a crowd of enemies.

The full list of our changes can be found further down in the changelog!


The Steam Summer Sale ends in a few hours. For everyone who missed the chance to far, now is the time to get your friends in, upgrade our game or play some classic!


Looking slick,

About This Game

PAYDAY 2: VR is now available!
To activate VR mode please download this free DLC: PAYDAY 2: VR

PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew - Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains - as they descend on Washington DC for an epic crime spree.

The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and run a few political errands?

Up to four friends co-operate on the hits, and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal comes a new character customization and crafting system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.

Key Features

  • Rob Banks, Get Paid – Players must choose their crew carefully, because when the job goes down they will need the right mix of skills on their side.
  • CRIMENET – The dynamic contract database lets gamers pick and choose from available jobs by connecting with local contacts such as Vlad the Ukrainian, shady politician "The Elephant", and South American drug trafficker Hector, all with their own agenda and best interests in mind.
  • PAYDAY Gun Play and Mechanics on a New Level – Firing weapons and zip tying civilians never felt so good.
  • Dynamic Scenarios – No heist ever plays out the same way twice. Every single scenario has random geometry or even rare events.
  • Choose Your Skills – As players progress they can invest in any of five special Skill Trees: Mastermind, Enforcer, Ghost, Technician and Fugitive. Each features a deep customization tree of associated skills and equipment to master, and they can be mixed and matched to create the ultimate heister.
  • More Masks than Ever – PAYDAY 2 features a completely new mask system, giving players the ability to craft their own unique mask together with a pattern and a color combination, resulting in millions of different combinations.
  • Weapons and Modifications – A brand new arsenal for the serious heister, covering everything from sniper and assault rifles to compact PDWs and SMGs. Once you've settled for a favorite, you can modify it with optics, suppressors, fore grips, reticles, barrels, frames, stocks and more, all of which will affect the performance of your weapon. There are also purely aesthetic enhancements - why not go for the drug lord look with polished walnut grips for your nine?
  • Play It Your Way – Each job allows for multiple approaches, such as slow and stealthy ambushes, to running in guns blazing. Hit the target any way you want, and watch as the heist unfolds accordingly.
  • New Game Content All the Time – More than 70 updates since release and still going strong with new heists, characters, weapons and other gameplay features like driving cars and forklifts. Every month offers new free content and paid DLC as PAYDAY 2 continues to be developed by the OVERKILL crew until at least 2017.
