How to unlock weapons in PAYDAY 3
To unlock more weapons in PAYDAY 3, you’re going to need to complete heists and level up fast to get your hands on a wider selection. You can then buy them from the Arms Dealer.
When you first start playing PAYDAY 3, you will have two default weapons. However, the more you play and increase your levels, the more you will unlock.
While the majority of the weapons can be bought with standard cash you accumulate from heists can only be bought with C-Stacks, a separate type of in-game currency.

All weapons in PAYDAY 3

Your Standard Weapons in PAYDAY 3 will make up the bulk of your loadout and can be customised with sights, barrels, silencers and more. They can be bought with cash.
Preset Weapons are a selection of the same standard weapons, with the modifications to them already done and cannot be changed. They can only be bought with C-Stacks.
