When IDIOTS play games that require thinking...
Features
Four-player co-op.
Crime.net – The dynamic contract database allows the player to pick and choose from available jobs by connecting with local contacts such as Vlad the Ukrainian, shady politician "The Elephant", and South American drug trafficker Hector.
New gunplay and mechanics.
Dynamic scenarios – Each heist has random geometry, and sometimes rare events.
Skill selection – As players progress, they can invest in any of four special skill trees: the Mastermind, the Enforcer, the Ghost and the Technician. Each features a customization tree of associated skills and equipment to unlock, and they can be mixed and matched to suit the player's style.
New mask system – Players have the ability to craft their own unique mask together with a pattern and a color combination.
New weapons, including sniper rifles, assault rifles, compact PDWs and SMGs.
Weapon modifications – Optics, suppressors, fore grips, reticles, barrels, frames, and stocks affect the performance of your weapon. There are also purely aesthetic enhancements.
Dynamic heist progression – Each job allows for multiple approaches, such as slow and stealthy ambushes, to running in guns blazing. Hit the target any way you want, and watch as the heist unfolds accordingly. Days are also added, meaning one heist could take the course of 1-7 days.
Crime.net
Crime.net is Overkill's alternative to the simple list of heists that the original PAYDAY offered. The Crime.net has a series of available heists, all of which provide randomly generated heists that vary in length, difficulty, objectives, and payout. Each heist is only available for a certain amount of time on the Crime.net as well, so if a player does not capitalize on the opportunity to take on a rare and valuable heist, it will disappear.
