What this game is
PAYDAY 3 is a cooperative first-person shooter where you and three teammates plan and carry out robberies: banks, art galleries, cryptocurrency hubs and corporate offices in New York. Each heist can be completed in quiet stealth mode or switched to open combat when stealth fails.
What players do right now: they put together a group of up to 4 people, pick a heist, decide on a tactic (quiet or loud) and complete the objectives one after another: crack the safe, disable the cameras, carry out the bags of money before the SWAT team arrives. The game has 19 heists (9 main + 4 side hustles + the DLC campaign The Bad Apple + Shopping Spree). Crime Spree mode lets you play heists in a row with rising difficulty and random modifiers.
A reworked game: PAYDAY 3 came out in September 2023 with serious problems. The servers went down in the first hours, and the always-online requirement made even solo play impossible. Since then Starbreeze has released dozens of patches: it reworked the skill system (Update 2.5, December 2025), added a solo mode without a lobby (June 2024), released the Shopping Spree DLC and other new heists, and launched the Contracts system (Update 3.3, March 2026). Recent reviews on Steam reached "Mostly Positive" in October 2024, though the overall rating remains "Mixed" because of the flood of negative reviews in the first weeks.
Skill system and progression: the skill tree is divided by role: a stealth focus, support, assault or hacking. The skills you choose affect tactics inside each heist.
Localization: the interface and subtitles are in Russian. Voice acting is English only (there is no official Russian dub).
Cooperative heist shooter PAYDAY 3: robberies of banks and art galleries in New York, in a team of four, quietly or loudly. 19 heists. Text and subtitles in Russian.
