About
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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

• Crew AI is terrible. No revives when even when there's no enemies around me • Can't pick crew guns • No crew skills • AK5 red dots are way too far forward. How did this get past QC? • Crew AI has URGI assault rifles. Why can't I have that? • One of the M4 skins has a BCM handguard. Why can't I have that on the stock M4? • One of the 2011 skins has a cool suppressor. Why can't I have that on the stock 2011? • Why can't I configure the weapons with skins like I can in PD2? • Stealth feels terrible. Iris scanners feel unfair when you're playing solo • Cloakers are overpowered. Why are there so many of them? Why is their AI so buffed compared to PD2? • Terribly optimized for laptop/low-end PC. Battlefield 1 has similar graphics but runs way better • Having less pagers on higher difficulties doesn't feel good. Neither does missions being almost impossible on stealth when you're solo. You have like 2 pagers on the highest difficulty before guards start searching, which might as well be a forced restart unless you're at the end • Armor system feels terrible. I'd rather have 90% of players exclusively running the same boring ass anarchist perk for armor gating than this stinking pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ • Ammo bag is (almost) useless compared to the other options • Where is my OVE9000 saw? • Lockpicking feels horrendous on low latency and still feels slightly laggy on normal latency. Sometimes the little bar will even stop right on top of the correct position and not count it as a hit. Just give us PD2 lockpicking cause this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ • Enemies have aimbot, they never miss • Sub 100 damage pistols feel weak • I would like perk decks to come back, this is subjective however • Feels like enemies see you a lot easier during stealth than on PD2 • I wish I didn't have a 4 second countdown for the mission to end • The UI looks boring compared to PD2 • No lasers on your guns • Can't bag bodies and throw them. So no body bag deployable either • There's a guard on overkill that ends your stealth run if you kill him • Big Bank heist feels less fun and more punishing than on PD2. Especially when you reach the vault • I preferred the old infamy system, except for guns being locked behind levels • Most gloves look ugly • No military/murky water uniform • Masks clip into the back of Wolf's head • Wolf doesn't look like Wolf anymore • Dallas doesn't look like Dallas anymore. He looks younger and a lot uglier • Default outfits look ugly/unrealistic • I wish Jimmy was in this game. Probably won't happen due to licensing • No inspire skill to revive people from a distance anymore • No trading in hostages to bring back dead crew members. Now you're on a respawn timer. What is this? Call of duty? • Can no longer turn SWAT members to your side for stat boosts anymore • Less filter options when looking for missions • No offline mode • The "Justicar" reload animation sucks (stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ name) • Why is the tribune 32 not in the SMG section of secondaries? • Why the ♥♥♥♥ can I only use the EOTech holographic sight (and some other sights) on some weapons but not others? Why? What the ♥♥♥♥ is the point of that? • No MP5SD option for the MP5. Hope to see this in the future • Shotgun push function no longer exists • Feels like there's an endless amount of NPCs on some of the smaller maps, like NRFTW. Why can't it be more like Bank Heist or Diamond Store? Would make it more fun to stealth • Sprint crouch jumping no longer works during stealth. Sliding effect also feels awful when trying to do this • Feels impossible to do anything on overkill solo loud when the endless charge arrives • Only 4 difficulty options • ECM jammers and trip lasers have been nerfed, making stealth even less enjoyable, especially solo. Motion sensor is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless, just remove it from the game • Can't change the red dot shape or color, like you can in PD2 • PD3 added a reticle to the game! YAY! But you aren't allowed to remove the "accuracy" bars or change the color, since that would require the developers to have an IQ above 30 to implement • Instead of calling it ADS speed, aim-down-sights speed or EVEN aim speed, they have opted to instead call it "targeting speed". What kind of stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ name is that? • Concealment stat has been removed, making short and standard magazines basically useless compared to the quick-pull magazine • Final SMG skill is borderline ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless and annoying as hell to use • Hostage taker or "puppet master" skill tree is genuinely awful compared to PD2, due to previously listed grievances, except for consumerism and the very niche and rare time you're running a throwable build, and someone else is running a hostage taker build, and you need the skill that gives hostages immunity to throwable damage • Skills in general feel way less impactful than on PD2 • Drone operator's stun drones can completely stunlock your teammates, making cloakers kill you no matter what if they get stunned • ECM rush no longer exists, you only have 1 trip laser now compared to the standard 7/14, ECM jammers also no longer disable cameras and are borderline useless • The crew AI is seriously some of the worst I've ever seen in my entire life. It's Skyrim and Fallout NV levels of bad. Probably even worse. You're genuinely better off playing without crew AI when playing solo, because they're useless • Killing snipers feels useless cause they respawn almost instantly • Final charge happens way too quickly • Bastion is a necessary skill if you play with crew AI, the game is literally unplayable without it • All of the masks except for Heister Unknown, Hot Teddy Summer, Knitted Nightmare and Simon, are all ugly and boring. Why does the skull mask look like it's been caked in ♥♥♥? Why is it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shiny? And it looks terrible and flat as well, especially compared to PD2's skull mask. "Private Mode" mask looks like something a 3 year old kid made
pd2 nin katbekat geliştirilmiş dinamikleri mekanikleri grafikleri ile bize sunulan oyun. Tüm dlclerle birlikte 10 veya daha fazla heist oluyor. Çeşitlilik çok az, lakin her oynayışta nedense zevk almaya devam ediyorum. Silah ve heist çeşitliliği artırılırsa daha fazla oyuncu kazanabilirler diye düşünüyorum. onun harici tek bir sıkıntısı olduğunu düşünmüyorum
Muito Bom
very cool game, high customization and optimazation
Goood of game dlc of play🙂😯
Don't even bother buying. Worst login to a game ever. "Please correct the errors in the form to proceed" when there is no errors. Load of ****.
Nach so vielen überlegungen und Spielzeit , muss ich sagen das ich Payday 3 mag. Das Stealth System , Gunpay , und die Grafik. Ja , es ist kein Payday 2 mit dem Perk Deck und all den Content , aber dieses Spiel ist noch in Entwicklung. Das Heiẞt wenn ihr auf Updates warten könnt , und die Entwickler unsterützen wollt oder so. Dann ist das Game für 30 Euro oder im Angebot gut. Eine Empfehlung von mir!
O jogo é bom, os devs só tem que parar de focar na porcaria do payday 2 e dar atenção pra esse jogo, ele tem MUITO potencial, mas ta sendo desperdiçado completamente
robbery is fun :3
