Payday 3 reintroduces the art of heisting with revamped mechanics, ensuring that players have plenty of content to enjoy with infinite replayability.
Payday 3 DLC: The Bad Apple
Starbreeze has confirmed that Payday 3 will receive heist DLCs following a Season Pass model, providing players with additional content post-launch. Standard Edition owners must purchase the Season Pass separately. However, those with the Silver Edition can enjoy six months of the Season Pass, offering two new heists. Gold Edition players receive a one-year Season Pass, which includes four new heists.
The Year 1 roadmap, known as “The Bad Apple,” has been unveiled by Starbreeze, featuring four DLCs set to release between Winter 2023 and Fall 2024. While details on the contents of these new Payday 3 heists remain scarce, players can anticipate not only fresh heists but also new enemies, weapons, cosmetics, characters, skills, and more. Given Payday 2’s extensive DLC support, it’s safe to assume that Payday 3 will see a wealth of content beyond its initial eight heists.
