What to expect from Payday 3
For those who have yet to dip their toes in the water of the Payday franchise, expect a lot of stealin' and a lot of wavin' of firearms. It's a great title for those who like to play with friends, as it is marketed as a four person co-op. This makes sense, as the original Payday gang consists of four members: Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains.
In an IP that plays heavily on the cops and robbers fantasy we all played as kids, it'll be up to you and your comrades to devise the perfect heist to infiltrate the location, pinch the goods, and disappear without a trace. There are a number of different scenarios to test yourself on and the option to choose your difficulty, so you'll be tested regardless of your experience.
We hope you're looking forward to Payday 3 as much as we are! for more on the game, check out the Payday 3 PC requirements to see if your rig is up for the job.
