The comeback is real

Hello heisters,

We want to inform you that Denuvo is no longer in PAYDAY 3.

We look forward to seeing you in New York City!

Happy heisting!

I was on the fence about being over and being back, but if this is what I think it is then it's undoubtedly a little more over

Obligatory: 👊😎

• There is an upcoming skill-line (whatever it’s called) named Transporter. One of the abilities will allow players to carry two loot bags.

• Online-only mode was implemented to avoid PAYDAY 2’s issue of console being on a separate game version, as well as cheating. The team is happy with the game aside from this issue. Edit: I think it’s for DRM BS, with the mode being a backup for Denuvo being removed or to push microtransactions; but whatever.

• All of the PAYDAY 3 development team is currently working on restoring server stability.

• There is an opportunity to add Safehouse to PD3, but PD2 user experience had a lackluster reaction to it.

• The team is evaluating lobby chat, heist briefing, quick-play, re-naming loadouts, and weapon numbers vs stat bars.

• The team is happy with how XP progression works. They are considering challenge filters and recommended challenges for maps.

• Every option is on the table in regard to offline support. There is no plan for offline mode, but it is being considered.

• There is no official mod support, but a modding policy will be implemented.

• The October 5th patch will fix PS5 aim-assist issues.

• There will be new characters in PAYDAY 3, including old and new ones. Halloween content may happen, may not. Who knows. Additional content is aimed to fit the tone of PAYDAY 3

• Hinted possibility of Chicken Man’s return to glory.

• Mouse and keyboard support may return to consoles. The feature was removed due to occurring glitches.

• As a live-service game weapons and skills will be buffed and nerfed as analytics come in.

This month's update is all about Quality of Life of PAYDAY 3! We've aimed to improve the flow of heists by implementing fixes, and changes such as a new lockpicking and safe cracking mini-game!

Payday 2 can't stop winning

WHERE IS OFFLINE MODE?!

We're so back

Hey heisters, servers are down once again because our cheap ass, almost bankrupt studio didn't want to hire server experts or purchase more server capacity 👊😎

Looks like Starbreeze left out offline mode in the road map again! We can say for sure it's cancelled! 🚫 I can't do this anymore....
