Ho Ho Heisters!
'Tis the season for a Payday Holiday Update. We have something very special for you this time. It’s a LEECH!... wait, wait, wait. Please read on. I promise it’s great. For the first time in what may seem like forever, we are releasing a new perk deck, completely free. We also have a cool new Tailor Pack themed around snow and winter. To finalize the update, we also have fun temporary holiday additions to the game, both something new and the content from the previous year’s event makes an appearance for the celebrations. Last but not least, even Hoxton has something up his sleeve for all you heisters out there.
Join us in the Winter Wonderland
It’s the winter holidays and that means it's time to grab some of that bonus Holiday EXP. Starting now until January the 12th you can play the special holiday versions of Breakin' Feds, Hoxton Breakout, and Buluc’s Mansion. While playing these or Stealing Xmas, White Xmas, GO Bank, or Santa's Workshop you’ll get an additional 15% EXP.
On all the above-mentioned heists you’ll find that all Cloakers and Bulldozers will be wearing Santa hats. Because nothing says festivities as much as being shot in the face by Santa Claus.
That is not all, during this time you’ll have access to a fearsome piece of weaponry, whose devastating power is feared on playgrounds around the globe. From today until January the 12th you can equip the Snowball throwables. Is it rocks inside? Is it left in the freezer to harden up? That is for you to know and the cops to find out.
Winter Ghosts Tailor Pack
We also released a new winter-themed Tailor Pack. With masks suitable both for the good and naughty heisters. Who do you want to be this festive season? A frozen skull of death to all those that dare oppose you. A Leshy, the spirit of the wild untamed woods. Or are you more of a deer that strides over the snow-covered lands? Perhaps you are the kind of heister whose head can only be decorated with a fox, nothing magic or fantastical but a regular fox, like your an alternative reality version of David Crockett.
Dead of Winter Solid with the Leshy mask, Dogsled Master Classic with the Kitsune Kari mask, Dead of Winter Ice with the PermaFrost mask, Dogsled Master Ivory with the Deer of Winters Past mask Snowbrick, Bliss, Cold Edge, Old Man Winter Gnarled Embrace, Valkyrie’s Glow, Cold Front, Redberry Black
Check out the Tailor Pack in more detail on the Steam store page.
Free Weapon Charms
You can't have holiday celebrations without some free gifts. We made two nice holiday-themed weapon charms for everyone to enjoy. You won’t need to sit through a long family dinner to get these gifts, the weapon charms are yours, all you need to do is complete two fun achievements. If you are busy celebrating with your family, you will be able to unlock the charms at a later date at your leisure. Just in case you feel you need some holiday spirit halfway through next year.
Bulbous Bauble, Lightbringer
Hoxtone
Hoxton has a little surprise in store for you, we are not even gonna tell you about it. All we can say is we worked with Pete Gold, voice actor of Hoxton, to create something absolutely amazing. Just start up the game and see if you can find something askew.
