PAYDAY 2: Family Matters Update
Hello Heisters!
As the sun beams down over Mexico our heisters load their rifles, polish their armors, and reline their masks. Something is about to go down. With this update we got lots of fun guns, cool weapon colors and… *drum roll*... Gloves.
Vlad needs a favor, again
The last heist went smoothly but there is one teeny tiny detail we need to sort out.
Vlad’s brother-in-law got himself into a bit of trouble. Who better to sort this situation out than… you guys. While we are still in Mexico we can take the time to break in or sneak into a police station, right? It will be easy, right?
I love it when a weapon loadout comes together
When you have thirty seconds to pick up your weapons before you open fire, it’s good to have a lot of bang at your disposal. With this new pack you’ll have 3 new awesome guns to wreak some havoc with and plenty of mods to tweak the guns just the way you like them. With these guns you and your friends can become a team of true professional badasses.
Hand Suits
With recent updates you have been able to choose between lots of snazzy outfits but some may have missed the old classic blue gloves when using the new outfits or perhaps you wanted to use the awesome gloves from one outfit while wearing a different outfit. Now you can freely pick and choose what gloves you wear. There are also 5 brand new gloves that you can use. These are completely free and can be used with any outfit you want. You will not be lacking choices when it comes to hand covers.
Weapon Camos
Do you think your weapon isn’t military looking enough? Now you can slap some camo patterns on it and really blend into the lush foliage of downtown Washington. Choose between savannah camo, tundra camo, tiger stripes, leopard spots or even Fuschia skulls. Whatever tickles your fancy this pack will have something for you. You will also have some camo patterns available for free or through achievements to get you started. Just don’t put your gun down, you may never find it again.

PAYDAY 2: Soundtrack Fix
Hello Heisters
With the recent update, we noticed that the files for the soundtrack have been removed from people's hard drives. Today we have found the cause of the issue and have addressed it. So now you can nod your head to sweet beats, even when you aren't heisting.
This will, unfortunately, mean the patch today is very large, we apologize for any inconvenience.
Remember to wear masks and latex gloves.

PAYDAY 2: Update 199.3 + Hoxfixes
Hello Heisters!
While we are all stuck in custody, we here at OVERKILL have been working on some stuff for you heisters, and today we are releasing a small update to help keep you busy while we are all holding out in our homes.
While there might be reasons not to commit crimes in real life, we are bringing some great changes to the game where you can heist with your friends without the fear of jail or viruses. We think you will be very excited about what we have prepared for you, so let's dive into the update.
SKINS! SKINS! SKINS! and more SKINS!
It is as simple as that, more skins and then even more skins. We have increased the drop rate of skins from once per week, to once per day. You will always have something to look forward to when you log in to play PAYDAY 2. As the famous saying goes “A few heists a day may not keep the cloakers away - but it will bling the shit out of your guns”. Well, it’s something like that at least.
Of course, it sucks to have to leave the lobby right when the adrenaline is high and there is loot to steal just to open a safe. Therefore, for now on, you will get your skin right away in the loot drop, just like you would get the safes before. And all your crewmates can see that legendary “Plush Phoenix” skin or a sweet “Frenzy”.
What does this mean?
Skins will still be associated with a particularly safe, however, safes will no longer drop as a steam item in your steam inventory. Safes as a concept will still remain when referring to the skins as a collection. You can still say that the Sydney safe has better skins than the Wolf safe. And you can still view the skins associated with a particular safe in the steam inventory menu in-game.
What happens with your safes?
If you have safes in your inventory they will remain until you open them. Nothing will happen to them. Those safes will still only be able to yield skins associated with that safe.
Happy Holdout
We have looked into the Holdout game mode, and made a few changes to make the mode a bit more appealing. First and foremost you will find 5 new Holdout levels based on existing heists from the game. Each Holdout comes with its own set of 4 achievements for wave 3, 5, 7 and 9.
The biggest change, however, is that the weekly Holdout is no longer available. Instead, you can choose what level you want to play similar to how you would choose a normal heist. All weekly only rewards are still unique to Holdout, but can be acquired on any Holdout level. We have also added 10 weapon colors that you can only get in the Holdout game mode. These can drop randomly as a reward from wave 5 and wave 9. Speaking of rewards, we have also upped the rewards so a full Holdout wave 1 to 9 will reward you 9 Normal loot cards 3 special loot cards 6 Continental Coins in addition to Cash and XP.
Summer Heisting Outfit
As the weather is getting warmer, our heisters need some cooler threads to wear. We bring back an old favorite: the outfit from the Slaughterhouse and Diamond heists in PAYDAY: The Heist. Playing the Slaughterhouse heist in PAYDAY 2 will unlock this short-sleeved outfit for all your summer larceny needs.
No Party Without Music
Jump into the options menu and look over the Custom Menu Tracks. You will find two new awesome tracks from Gustavo Coutinho. "Ojos De Diamante" is played by the Mariachi Band in the San Martín Bank Heist and "Ojos De Esmeralda" is played in the trailer for the heist.
Making Heisting Easier
Last, but not least, we bring some nice quality of life conveniences to the game. Have you ever found an awesome weapon mod or mask locked behind an achievement and then needing to find what achievement unlocks that particular item? Well, now each item that is locked behind an achievement will tell you right away what you need to do to acquire it.
Perhaps you have been playing with your neat regen/convert build only to die while thinking you had your 2 converts for regen and backup, not realizing the converts you saw were not actually yours? Or have you failed a stealth heist thinking you answered 3 pagers when in fact you had answered 4? Now your converts will be color-coded in a darker blue than your follow heisters and the number of both pagers and your converts will be listed on the TAB screen.
Have you been solo heisting and had your AI decked out perfect for your build only to switch the build-in loadout and the AI no longer being finely tuned to your skillset? Now AI loadout will be saved with your profile so when you switch, they switch as well. Keep in mind that you might need to set up the AI to be in sync with your profiles if you want the most out of the bonuses they provide.
And to get you back in the fight as quickly as possible, we’ve added a right-click menu for the weapon and mask inventory. You will find the same buttons that you might find at the bottom right of the screen, to quickly be able to get the loadout you want to roll out with.
