In ''Payday: The Heist'', players use a variety of firearms to complete objectives (usually centered around stealing a certain object or a particular amount of money). The game plays from the first person perspective, but offers a few twists on the standard FPS formula. Killing civilians is punished, instead players may take a limited number as hostages. Should any player get arrested (after taking enough damage and not being 'revived' in time) during the heist, one of his teammates may release a hostage, allowing a trade to take place which allows a single player to be released. While playing the levels players will notice a lot of variation in a single level as there are often a large number of random events programmed in. An example of this is the location of the bank manager in First World Bank.

Payday: The Heist is a 2011 downloadable cooperative first-person shooter video game developed by Overkill Software and published by Sony Online Entertainment. It was released on October 18, 2011 for PlayStation 3 in North America and November 2, 2011 in Europe.[5] It was also released on October 20, 2011 for Windows via Steam software in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

It contains seven different missions (including the free No Mercy DLC released on 25 July 2012), with each mission containing random elements which alter the gameplay in subtle ways with the aim of enhancing replayability. On 7 August 2012 the Wolf Pack DLC was released on PS3 and PC. This DLC added two new heists, additional weapons, and a new player upgrade tree.

The game runs on a modified Diesel game engine and is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

On February 1st 2013, Overkill Software announced a sequel to Payday: The Heist titled Payday 2 and is scheduled to be released on August 13th, 2013 on Steam for PC players[6] and anywhere from August 13 to the 16 for console players.[citation needed]

In Payday: The Heist, players use a variety of firearms to complete objectives (usually centered around stealing a certain object or a particular amount of money). The game plays from the first person perspective, but offers a few twists on the standard FPS formula. Killing civilians is punished, instead players may take a limited number as hostages. Should any player get arrested (after taking enough damage and not being 'revived' in time) during the heist, one of his teammates may release a hostage, allowing a trade to take place which allows a single player to be released. While playing the levels players will notice a lot of variation in a single level as there are often a large number of random events programmed in. An example of this is the location of the bank manager in First World Bank.

The game focuses on four robbers (Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolf) who team up. Their first heist took place at the First World Bank, where they entered a vault by using thermite hidden on the inside of a photocopier and stole a large amount of money. A post-game message congratulates the group, telling them that they are "set for life", but recommends more heists, including robbing drug junkies in an abandoned apartment complex and ambushing a prisoner transport in heavy rain weather, simply for the enjoyment of the players.

Downloadable content

Overkill Software promised DLC before the game's launch. In October 2011 the first of these was revealed to include a Nixon mask, new equipment, skills, characters, and heists. This DLC is the Wolf Pack, and it released on August 1 on the European PlayStation Store and on August 7 for the North American PlayStation Store and PC. The new content included a new Technician skill tree that gave the players access to the AK, the GL40 and the Stryk pistol as well as adding in a sentry gun. Also included were two new heists, Counterfeit and Undercover. On July 25, the No Mercy Hospital DLC was released, establishing a link between Left 4 Dead and Payday.[8][5] This DLC included the No Mercy heist as well as the Infected mask set for players with Left 4 Dead installed on their computers.

PlayStation 3 version

A major difference in versions is due to the expense of patching the PlayStation 3 version, patches are much slower coming out and the Payday Secret ARG was not available. A trial is available for the PS3 version of Payday. This trial allows players to play one heist, and includes the "Reputation" system, upgrades, and unlockable items. The player is unable to unlock any weapons and has a cap to reputation 145.[4] American and European PlayStation Plus users were given the opportunity to download Payday for free in June 2013.

Sales

As of October 2012, Payday: The Heist has sold over 700,000 copies.[9][3]
