Here's how many heists are in PAYDAY 3
You may be wondering how many heists there are in PAYDAY 3, so we’re here to break down all the available missions you can embark on from launch day and beyond.
The PAYDAY series has always been about working as a team (unless you're brave enough to do solo stealth) to secure the biggest bag possible. The games are four-player, first-person shooters all about heisting and going on the rob. The scale of the heists gradually increases as you progress through the game, offering you and your crew fresh obstacles to consider.
How you tackle each heist will be up to you and your friends, so figuring out the best approach will be part of the struggle. So, let’s dive into how many heists are in PAYDAY 3 and what we know about the upcoming DLC so far.
How many heists are there?
The game has launched with 8 heists. This is four fewer heists than the previous game launched with.
When we spoke with Almir Listo, Brand Director and Head of Community, he said: “PAYDAY: The Heist launched with six heists. PAYDAY 2 launched with 12, although they were fairly smaller than they were in PAYDAY: The Heist.”
More heists are to be added to the game after launch, with the game receiving 18 months of post-launch content.
All heists in PAYDAY 3
Below, we've listed all eight heists that are present in PAYDAY 3 so far, but that isn't to say there won't be more in the future. So, be sure to keep checking back for more updates on these missions:
- 99 Boxes
- Dirty Ice
- Gold & Sharke
- No Rest for the Wicked
- Road Rage
- Rock the Cradle
- Touch the Sky
- Under the Surphaze
The initial eight heists are located in New York, during our first preview, we saw Gold & Sharke, a Downtown NYC bank, and the other being Under the Surphaze, an Art Gallery beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
A third heist, 99 Boxes, was revealed at Gamescom 2023, themed around rapper Ice-T. In it, we see the gang infiltrate an area filled with shipping containers.
Will there be more heists?
Although we don't know much about the proposed post-launch content, Starbreeze did confirm future heists will look to explore different parts of the world by leaving the Big Apple.
The first wave of DLC, known as Syntax Error, is slated for release at some point in winter 2023, and will likely feature new maps, heists, and maybe even more playable characters on the horizon.
