Payday 2

Payday 2 is the sequel to Overkill Software's co-op bank heist FPS Payday: The Heist.

It tasks up to four players with completing various heist and drug smuggling missions which often involve utilizing various gadgets to break into an area, or defending an area from oncoming waves of SWAT soldiers.

Gameplay[edit]

The gameplay in Payday 2 is, at its core, standard FPS. Players can equip different weapons and items to help them during battle, which will enhance the shooting.

Loadouts[edit]

Players can choose one loadout before each match, so they must choose carefully.

Loadouts consist of two weapons (one primary and one secondary), deployable item and armor.

Defending[edit]

Many matches end with a defense scenario in which several waves of police assaults attack the players, while a timer counts down to an inevitable escape.

The players must hold out for the duration of the timer in order to beat the mission.

Release Date[edit]

Payday 2 will release for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in August 2013.

Boxed Release[edit]

Unlike the original Payday: The Heist, Payday 2 will release both digitally and on a disc.

The game has been expanded significantly since the last, forcing a bump up to a $29.99 retail price.

Official Synopsis[edit]

Payday 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original Payday crew - Dallas, Hoxotn, Wolf, and Chains - as they descend on Washington DC for an epic crime spree.

The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic Payday. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and run a few political errands?

Up to four friend cooperate on the hits, and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal comes a new character customization and crafting system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.
