Description

About the Game

PAYDAY 3 is a 1-to-4 player FPS where you live out the ultimate heist fantasy. Tackle jobs in stealth to empty vaults without leaving a trace. Or charge in loud, fight off relentless enemies, and escape with the big score. A deep skill tree, extensive weapon selection and unlockable modifications provide near endless variety, no matter your playstyle.

Legendary Heisters

Put on the mask and become a legend. After years off the grid, the Payday Gang returns to unleash an epic crime wave across New York City. Join the world’s most infamous crew with your customized look, loadout and skills.

Give in to Greed

In this life of crime, the only limit is your own ambition. Use cash from heists and challenges to fill your armory with powerful new weapons. Unlock specialized skills and gadgets to enhance your favorite tactics. Gotta spend money to make money!

Precision or Chaos

Meticulous preparation or raw violence: The choice is yours. PAYDAY gives you the tools to avoid escalation, but if the alarm goes off, the heist must go on. Cops, SWAT and Special Units will combine forces to take you out. What will your strategy be?

Better Together

The perfect heist demands coordination. Bots will always have your back, but nothing beats a well-organized team of players. Whether you split up or stick together, you’ll need to overcome escalating threats as one. In PAYDAY 3, your crew is your greatest weapon.

I really like how the game fundamentals work by now. It feels good to play. But the extremely slow trickle of content means there is not much to do. I understand that Payday 3 heists seem to be more complex than most

Plenty of builds to try. Not as many heists as payday 2 but I'm sure more to come in the future. I would say there's about 30 to 50 hours worth of content right now before exhausting everything.

not a fan. not an awful game at all but to be honest, just buy payday 2 for less than a dollar and enjoy hundreds of hours of that game, this one does not have enough to offer and is not as fun.

I have played it on launch with xbox game pass, and at launch it was really bad with almost no content. Its now better and i especially like the return of PD2 skill system but i would add more interesting perks.

Better than Payday 2 in many ways. The graphics, the gameplay, the armor and skill systems are all better. The only downfall is lack of content. Though that is changing.
