We’ve heard you! By public request, we’re changing how we’re packaging PAYDAY 2 DLC for the Texas Heat campaign! Similar to what we did with Silk Road in 2020, we will let you buy the DLC’s upfront at a reduced price.

So how exactly is this going to work? The bundle will be released first, alongside one DLC. The following DLCs will then be added later for anyone who owns the bundle and also released separately as we did during City of Gold. We are doing it this way to give our teams the time they need to work stress-free on delivering quality content, while also providing you all with the discounted option you have been asking for.

Keep in mind, if you purchase any of the DLCs separately, you’ll be unable to purchase the bundle afterwards as these bundles will not be able to adapt their price to what you already own.

The first bundle will be available in mid-April, keep an eye out for more information about the bundle contents on the day of release. We will also be hosting an AMA on the r/paydaytheheist subreddit on the 22nd of April to give you a chance to ask us questions, whether it’s about this new bundle system or anything else on your mind surrounding PAYDAY.

Spring is upon us, with warmer weather, flowers in bloom, and of course Steam sales. Starting now, and until the 11th of April you can grab PAYDAY 2, PAYDAY: The Heist and related DLCs at great discounts up to 83% off. Check out the store pages or see the links below to see the available deals.

Here’s some of the highlights:

Today we bring you an update packed with fixes. We have been working hard on improving the latest heist Mountain Master. We appreciate all the great feedback and comments we received. In addition, we are also adding Gamesight to PAYDAY 2. Gamesight is a tool that lets us better visualize our marketing efforts and it will help us understand how people find our game. This will not impact your player experience and will help us grow the community.

We will also be adding a new outfit in the game, based on Overlord Lettuce's brilliant concept design from the 10th-anniversary competition. The blueprints have been sent to the Tailor and the suit will be available in-game soon. This will replace the removed Linchpin outfit, which is gone as of this update.

Here's a look at it, we think it looks really good!

Thank you to Milo S for this brilliant design!

Let's get into the fixes for this update.

The City of Gold campaign is coming to an end, and our favorite heisters find themselves overlooking the city of San Francisco for the finale of this saga of violence and robbery. Alongside the Mountain Master Heist DLC, we also release the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack designed for the heist and on the theme of triads. Check them both out below.

We find our 4 heisters at the foot of one of the tallest structures in San Francisco. In the penthouse resides Yufu Wang, the leader of the Golden Dagger triad. Shayu has asked us to take him down so she can take over the rule of the triad and wipe the slate clean between them and the Payday gang. However, how you proceed in this mission is up to you. Sneak past the guards in the lobby and make your way quietly up to the penthouse to take Yufu down when he least expects it. Alternatively, go in loud, let him know you are on your way. Come crashing into his private chambers ready for a fight.



Pick up the heist in the Mountain Master DLC on Steam today.

The best way to enjoy tea is… dressed. Therefore we introduce a new suit for our lovers of tea and kung-fu out there. In each heist from the City of Gold campaign, there is a tea set that can be looted and secured. Go play all four heists and steal these tea sets. Once you have stolen all these tea sets this awesome outfit will be yours. You will even get four nice variants of this great-looking suit so everyone in the lobby can dress up in their favorite color.

Laohu Dashi Apex, Laohu Dashi Haze, Laohu Dashi Lotus, Laohu Dashi Chi

You do not need to own the heist to complete the achievement and unlock this great suit. However, if you are missing any of the heists and want the pick them up you can find them and other great DLCs on the PAYDAY 2 store page on Steam today.

Time to suit up in style. In the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack, you will pick up 2 new kick-ass triad-inspired suits. Dress to impress with the “Master's Mantle” outfit. Pair it with the "Firescale" or the “Mountain Spikes” gloves and the “Golden Draped Visor” or “Sterling Draped Visor” to really bring home your superiority and menace. If you would rather convey more violence and danger then the “Red Pole” outfit is for you. These suits are equally well suited for a night on the town, a fistfight in the streets, or some good old smash and grab.

”Red Master” suit with the “Firescale” gloves and the “Golden Draped Visor” mask,
“Traditional” suit with the “Crimson Wave Grips” gloves and the “Crimson Striker Helmet” mask,
“Ceremonial” suit with the “Hornet Glow Grips” gloves and the “Hornet Striker Helmet” mask,
“Dark Master” suit, with the "Mountain Spikes" gloves and the “Sterling Draped Visor” mask.

These outfits, gloves, and masks are available in the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack DLC on Steam today.

With the last heist in the City of Gold campaign, we now release the fourth and final variant of the “Dragon Bomber” outfit. You and your crew can now dress up in these finest of garments as you take on the Mountain Master himself. The “Dragon Bomber White” is now available for free in the inventory, regardless of whether you own any DLCs or not.

”Dragon Bomber Black”, “Dragon Bomber White”, “Dragon Bomber Red”, and ”Dragon Bomber Contrast”.

Check out more previews of this update and its content on the Golden Dagger Update’s website.
