Payday 3 Update 1.0.2 Brings New Maps, Animations and QoL Changes

The newest update to Payday 3 will be bringing back legacy heists in the form of Cook Off and Turbid Station (beloved Payday 2 heists), new animations, bug fixes, and quality-of-life changes added to the game. 

We will be looking over all of the upcoming changes before the official patch notes are released as shared on this week's developer stream. Let's get started!

Payday 3 Cook Off and Turbid Station Reimagined Maps 

A lot of changes will be coming to these two maps as the devs will be removing the option to cook an endless supply of loot on Cook Off as you will be limited to а 19 bags maximum of loot. There will also be a new feature where the amount of time you spend cooking the loot can determine the value you will receive, as you can cook it to get a higher value, but you also have a risk of burning the materials thus decreasing the value.

Turbid Station will also have more verticality added to it as you will be able to access the train cart roofs but also make use of Payday 3's movement and stealth mechanics so look forward to that as well. Both of the missions will have Locke as a returning character who will be the main contractor for the heists. Both maps will also get original music by Payday 3's composer Gustavo Coutinho.

Payday 3 New Animations and Infamy Progression Changes

A lot of great first-person animations will also be coming for this update as it will bring even more life to the game so heisters feel more like they are bagging up cash or tying up civilians and even getting the option to inspect our weapons in-game. Here is what we got from Payday 3's first dev update video:

We will also get improvements to the current leveling system in Payday 3, as many players literally stopped playing the game due to the limitations of the current challenge-based system. You will now be able to get Infamy Points (IP) upon completing a heist successfully even if you do not complete any challenges throughout your gameplay.

Payday 3 New Cosmetics and Skill Line

We will be also getting 2 new cosmetics that are purchasable with the in-game currency called C-Stacks. The mask will also have particle effects with the bandages moving as your character moves.

This new skill line will allow you to carry up to bags and also provides more benefits when moving around bodies or loot bags with you being able to bring two separate deployables but with a penalty.

When Will Update 1.0.2 Come to Payday 3?

As of now, the developers have said that the update will drop before the end of November 2023, so hopefully we will get our hands on these nice changes along with +200 bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. The full patch notes will be released along with the update itself.

Stay tuned for more updates and for an in-depth analysis of all the upcoming changes to the game, and remember heisters, keep those helmets flying.
