You know, for a story-line called ‘Lost in Transit’ we sure seem to find a lot of great stuff… While the finalé and heist are still a little way out, we still have a lot of goodies to deliver for you weapon enthusiasts out there, and for all the Lost in Transit bundle owners.

Gemma McShay, our new weapons contact in Texas, delivers another package brimming with weapons and options. Three new weapons each with their own unique flavor to bring to the table. The package also contains a total of 15 mods and each weapon gets its own Exclusive Set, we must’ve been really good in a previous life to earn this because we certainly haven’t been in this life.

First off we have the Kahn .357 revolver, the first ever revolver in PAYDAY 2 that lets you pick between 6 or 8 rounds with the click of a mod, for a full 16 rounds in akimbo. It also offers quite a fast rate of fire. Then we have the VD-12 shotgun, available either as a powerful single weapon or still powerful albeit slightly smaller version of itself in akimbo. Gemma is also bringing out a very special treat with the Hailstorm Mk 5 prototype, a small caliber weapon with the ability to fire all 15 barrels at once to bring the hailstorm to, well, Hailstorm.’

As an extra treat, we get an Exclusive Set for each of the new weapons, giving you a unique and exciting style for each of the weapons in this set.




As is tradition when we add new content, we like to add a little bit of spice that is available to anyone owning the base game of PAYDAY 2 as well. This time we decided to deliver on a popular request after we previously introduced Viper grenades; Tombstone slugs. This new ammo type for shotguns will allow you to really make your opponents get down with the sickness, with the ability of poison. This will cause them as much nausea as the police chief will face when he receives the medical bills after each heist.

There are also two new weapon charms available, allowing you to further customize the visual appearance of your weapons. Show your support for your local sports team with the Home Team charm, or send subliminal messaging to your fellow heisters about what your plans are for the after-heist party at the Safe House with the Drink Up charm.

We hope you’ve all had great vacations and are well rested, ready for new heisting adventures. As for us? It’s been an eventful few weeks over here at OVERKILL, we’ve celebrated our 9 year anniversary. Working hard on the content for the Lost in Transit Bundle, making weapons, building the heist and putting together a music DLC! All while getting tempted by new goodies at Gamescom.

We made a lot of new music for the Silk Road campaign. We’ve chosen some of our favorites and collected them together into the first music DLC we’ve done in quite a while!
This DLC is part of the Lost in Transit Bundle, it’s available either as part of the bundle or on its own.
The following tracks are included in this package:

1. Joke's On You (Breakin' Feds - Spring Break 2018)
   
2. Ojos de Esmeralda (Menu music based on Ojos de Diamante)
   
3. Cakewish (PD2 Anniversary 2020)
   
4. Heistival (Music for the Balloon Popper event)
   
5. It's Clown Time (Music for the Balloon Popper event)
   
6. Today is Payday Too (Christmas 2021 Update)
   
7. Underground Lockdown (Henry's Rock - Spring Break 2018)
   
8. Trick of the Trade (Shacklethorne Auction - Spring Break 2018)
   
9. Dirt & Dust (Border Crossing - Silk Road)
   
10. Bonebreaker (San Martin Bank - Silk Road)
    
11. Sucker Punch (Breakfast in Tijuana - Silk Road)
    
12. Deadeye (Buluc's Mansion - Silk Road)
    
13. Silk Road Campaign Song
    
14. Ojos de Diamante (Mariachi band music for San Martin Bank)

The Tijuana Music Pack is part of the Lost in Transit Bundle. The Bundle also includes the High Octane Tailor Pack (out now!), the McShay Weapon pack 2 (releases Sep 21st) Lost in Transit Heist (releases Oct 12th). Getting the bundle now nets you a hefty 40% discount in advance for getting all of it early, saving you the trouble of waiting for a sale!

After being introduced in the Midland Ranch Heist, the US Marshall units are being introduced in all other heists. You read that correctly, every heist will now start seeing the US Marshall unit on every difficulty between Normal and Death Sentence. Heists taking place outside of the US will have their own model not affiliated with any US groups.


Outfit items: The Pistolero Muerto Suit, The Pallbearer Gloves, The Telaraña Mask

Weapon skin: The Heist in Peace.
Weapon charms: Ladrón de Pollos, Husuda Granada


I guess it's time to face the music!

And so, the 9 year anniversary celebration comes to an end. We hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as we enjoyed watching you work together to feed the pig to excess. The effort you guys put in, the jokes and videos, you guys make it all worth it. Even to the point of inspiring us to create two stretch goals and even extending the event.

The original plan was for the event items to be unlockable only during the event, but we heard your feedback and are adding a side-job that lets anyone who couldn’t participate unlock the items later. The side-job will prove more difficult than if you had participated in the event, but the piggy demands sacrifices in lieu of food.

Due to its popularity during the event, we decided to immortalize the golden piggy as a weapon charm, available for everyone.


Those piggies have been fed!

Hello Heisters.

While the 9th Anniversary celebrations are still going strong thanks to the extended event, we have one more thing we’d like to share with you. Our community is one of the strongest out there, and it’s also incredibly diverse. This means that while a lot of you speak English, there’s also quite a lot (maybe even more) who don’t. Because of this, we’ve decided to launch a second PAYDAY 2 Discord server, specifically aimed towards our French speaking heisters out there.

If you speak French and want to hang out with your fellow French speaking heisters, then make sure to join the French PAYDAY 2 Discord server today!

And for everyone else, I’m sure you’re all asking “But what about [insert other language here]?”. As of now, we’re trying this out with the French community only. If this server ends up being successful, we’ll look at expanding it for other popular languages as well. So keep an eye out for that. And keep those helmets flying!

Much love,
OVERKILL_Elisabeth

First of all, we'd like to thank everyone for joining us in celebrating the 9th Anniversary of PAYDAY 2. We've had a great time watching you fatten the golden pig, and we hope you've enjoyed doing so as well.

We've seen a lot of feedback about the time span for the event, both from people who were unable to participate due to vacations or other reasons, or simply those of you who had so much fun that you want more. As a result of that, we've decided to extend the event until Wednesday, the 24th of August. This is nearly a full extra week, and more importantly an extra weekend, of golden piggy bucks and the cash blaster. This should also give you the extra time needed to reach that last stretch goal of 20 million piggy bucks to unlock the 9th Anniversary Mega Mask. Our talented team has already finished making these, so please don't make us put the mask back on the shelf if the milestone isn't met :(

If you haven't already, check out the 9th Anniversary website to see how the event is progressing and get a closer look at the stretch goal items. The original three milestones are already ready to claim in-game once you reach your personal challenges, while the stretch goal items will be added once the event ends.

Keep those piggy bucks coming!

We've decided to extend the event until Wednesday, the 24th of August.
Check out the announcement to read more.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or joined at any time in the past 9 years, we’re here because of you. To give you a small show of our appreciation for your continued support, we have put together an event that we hope you’ll enjoy.

So grab your mask, rally your heister friends being kept from their criminal calling by family or work and let’s get rambling!

You can find out more about the event at the PAYDAY 2 9th Anniversary Site

This year's anniversary celebrations will center around a massive golden Piggy Bank, and our job is to fill the Piggy Bank with those sweet Piggy Bucks!

Defeating enemies will grant you a bag of Piggy Bucks; headshots or Cash Blaster kills will grant you the Piggy Bucks bags faster than normal kills. As you throw bags into the Piggy Bank it will grow in size. You can choose to cash out by breaking the Piggy Bank at any time and get away with what you collected. The Piggy will need more and more bags to grow the higher the stage you are on. You’ll be able to claim a reward for breaking the Piggy once the heist is completed, there is also a 3-tiered community challenge with awesome cosmetics to work towards as well as 4 personal challenges with additional XP rewards to unlock. You may work on these challenges across several runs of the 35 heists available in the event. Get out there and collect some Piggy Bucks, but be fast about it, don't leave the bags on the ground too long. Can you persevere to see the piggy’s ultimate form?



It’s time again to work together and unlock some sweet-ass threads. The heisters need some new bling and the Piggy needs more Piggy Bucks. There is only one thing to do. Bring the Piggy Banks lots of bags. The Piggy is feeling generous and will give you a new set of gloves for a mere 100,000 bags of Piggy Bucks. But if you want the suit then you need to provide the Piggy with 1,500,000 bags of Piggy Bucks. No heister can leave an event without a sick new mask. This mask has been hand-assembled by Locke himself from hundreds of flawless diamonds that sparkle as the light dance on the surface of the mask. This mask can be yours for the bargain price of 3,000,000 bags of Piggy Bucks.

Note: This outfit is only unlockable during the 9th Anniversary event (though might show up again in the future) so make sure you participate or at the very least join in to claim the outfit.


Gloves: Magic Touch Masks: Nine Lives Outfits: Money Laundering, Dress for Success

The long-awaited return of a favorite! The Cash Blaster functions kinda like a very expensive flame thrower, even with fuel prices being what they are. Blast your foes with wads of cash and they’ll be too busy collecting the crips bills you launch at them to fight back. Once you have completed atleast 2 heists in the event and given the Piggy a total of 10 Piggy Bucks bags, the Cash Blaster will once again be available for use.



Along with the Cash Blaster, we’ve enabled an XP boost. Simply play the game and you’ll see increased rewards from pretty much anything. We did just add a new way to go infamous, so maybe now is the time?



Oink! Oink! Keep them bags coming!
