We’re removing the DALLAS and SPUTNIK safes. As of next thursday, on May 19th they’ll forever fade away from the game. they will of course stay in your inventory, but not drop anymore.

But don’t fret, all acquired skins from DALLAS and SPUTNIK will of course stay put in your inventory! So play like crazy until thursday and stock up on those, soon-to-be-antique skins!

And remember, a new safe is around the corner!


Update size: 16.9 mb

Heisters!

So it’s time to shake hands with our latest addition to the PAYDAY crew: Sydney.

Born and raised in Australia, she’s not the one to dodge out of a fight - rather the opposite. All grown up on whatever punk rock music she could get her hands on - she became a true anarchist - but far from a pacifist.
