PAYDAY 2: City of Gold - The Ukrainian Prisoner Heist

Hello Heisters!

The City of Gold campaign continues as we bring you two new DLCs. The first one is a brand new heist playable in both stealth and loud. In order to heist in style we also offer a Tailor Pack with some cool new streetwear in several versions for everyone in the gang to have a different look while looking like the tightest crew ever.

The Ukrainian Prisoner Heist

Someone is waiting for your aid. Get in there and follow the screams from the container in the back. Get your friend back from the clutches of the triads and get him out of there.

We bring you a brand new heist in the San Francisco Dockyards. Sneak past dockyard guards and triad thugs patrolling among the containers, or perhaps you prefer to go in loud and let them know you are coming.

Visit the The Ukrainian Prisoner Steam store to continue the City of Gold campaign.

Guardians Tailor Pack

What else would you wear on a rescue mission than the new masks and suits in the Guardians Tailor Pack? In this pack, you will find 4 masks based on the Four Auspicious Beasts, 2 suits with 4 color variants each, and 2 gloves with 4 color variants each.

Meta Changes

We continue our efforts to work on changing up the current meta of the game to keep the game fresh and exciting for all of you. Our ambition is to do small but frequent updates that help minimize the gaps between different weapon and/or perk decks; so that even if you have 20h or 2000h in the game there is something interesting for you to try out.

Firstly, we lowered the unlock of the Rattlesnake Sniper Rifle to level 0 to make it available for new players and the ones fresh out of infamy. We improved the Gewehr 3’s Assault Kit to be able to pick up more ammo and addressed a bug where the Buckshot 000 ammo type for shotguns negated the damage falloff. The Chimano Compact pistols have been tweaked to set them more apart from other Chimano pistols. The last weapon adjustment in this update is the Patchett L2A1. It’s been reverted back to a high damage tier SMGs.

Finally, we buffed the Muscle Perk Deck to give anyone with the full perk deck more health and make the deck more viable on Death Wish.

Check out the changelog linked at the bottom for more details about the meta tweaks in this update. And take to the forums to tell us what you think about the changes so far or join our Discord.

Changes to UI, Menus and the New Player experience

In an effort to make the game easier to navigate both for new and veteran heisters we’ve worked on the main menu, Crime Net, and the inventory. We wanted to make the game more accessible and offer a better user experience, especially for the heisters new to our criminal world.
