We are happy to see all of you joining in the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the PAYDAY Franchise. We have something extra fun in-store today, it’s time for some fun carnival-style games, in a new game mode available only during the 10th Anniversary event.

When you start the game you will find a new button in the main menu. By selecting “Play Event” at the top of the menu you will be taken to a special version of CrimeNet. The event game mode is now active for any heist you start. To deactivate the game mode go back to the main and select “Play Online” or “Play Offline”.

In this game mode, you are tasked with the highly unusual mission of slaying balloons. When you activate the event you will see balloons appearing when killing special units. Depending on the unit you kill you may need one, two, or three kills for a balloon to appear. Popping the balloon will give a team-wide boon. Each special unit has its own boon that it grants from its balloon. You can have multiple different buffs active at once, if you have a timed buff active and activate another the timer will reset.




You can check the amount of nefarious balloons you’ve popped in FBI Files under “Enemy Kills” in the “Suspect Database”.

In this update, we also include a new suit in four colorful variants. The 10th Anniversary Clown Suit is based on concepts made by the very talented artist Angusburgers.

These suits are available to all players, just launch the game and suit up!

*Hoxalloon not included, due to restriction in Denmark

Our 10th Anniversary celebrations will continue with a Live stream on Friday the 22nd at 19:00 CET. Join us on Twitch. We have lots of fun planned and we hope to see you there!

During the whole event, we are also running a sale so hop over to the Storepage and top-up your DLC collection or let a friend know that now is a great time to join the heisting.

For more 10th anniversary awesomeness visit the PAYDAY 10th Anniversary Site.

We are happy to bring you the latest installment of the City of Gold campaign. We have two awesome new DLCs on offer. First up is a new heist, playable in both stealth and loud; Vlad got some beef to settle with the Golden Dagger Triad after the whole container business, and the PAYDAY Gang is all too happy to help. To dress for the occasion the tailor pack DLC is where you need to look, a full set of suits, masks, and gloves.

In the previous heist in the City of Gold campaign, we rescued Vlad from the clutches of the Golden Dagger Triad, and now it’s payback time. In the Black Cat Heist, Vlad and the gang are gonna hit them where it hurts. A large casino onboard the Black Cat, a luxurious cruise ship full of society’s highest and lowest.

Vlad knows his tormentor from the docks is aboard and so is a large amount of the Triad’s funds. He has sent you and the gang to infiltrate the ship and send a message to the Triad.



Visit the The Black Cat Steam store page to get your hands on the latest heist in the City of Gold campaign.

What more can you ask for than this great set of Hi-Tech masks and cool-looking suits and gloves?
In the Mega City Tailor Pack, we got four awesome-looking robotic masks with a bit of inspiration from martial arts. Each mask has its own color scheme with its own color variant among the gloves and the suits. Triple down on your favorite color or mix and match among them all. What style will you pick?

1. Cybertrench Monochrome, Cyber Monkey, Padded Monkey
2. Cyberhoodie Red, Robo Mantis, Padded Mantis
3. Cyberhoodie Yellow, Electro Tiger, Padded Tiger
4. Cybertrench Green, Viper Cyberjack, Padded Viper

Visit the Mega City Tailor Pack Steam store page to pick up these awesome outfits.

We also offer another color variant of the Dragon Bomber suit. This release comes with a red and black variant of the suit, decorated with two silver dragons on the chest. Heist in style with this new variant of the Dragon Bomber, and why not combine it with one of the new masks from Mega City Tailor Pack?

Yesterday we release the third weapon pack DLC from Jiu Feng. We've seen a lot of great responses both the weapons and the charms. It is great to see that you are enjoying the content we make. We have a hotfix to release today addressing the issues that have been reported since the release.

Changes

• Fixed an issue with the fire rate of the under-barrel for the Kang Arms Model 54 Pistol being too high.
  
• Fixed an issue with the KS12-A Burst Muzzle where shots were silenced like when using a suppressor.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could attach the KS12-A Burst Muzzle or KS12-S Long Silencer while having a barrel that should prevent barrel extensions.
  
• Added missing achievement icon to the achievement menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where the weapon charm would detach from the Vulcan Minigun during the reload animation.

There was also an issue reported related to using a 45-degree sight gadget in combination with the KS12-S Carry Handle. This issue is still being worked on and will be included in the next release.


Keep on being charming.
