As mentioned, while the main feature is the brand new safe houses, there are a fair amount of new content added to the game, including:
- Two new difficulties. Mayhem is easier than Death Wish but harder than Overkill. And One Down, where being downed once will instantly send players to custody.
- Two sets of masks based on Italian mobsters and the Army.
- New concussion grenades.
- New Goliath 12G Shotgun.
- Mutator feature, in order to customize gameplay experience.
- New Safe skins for the Locomotive Shotgun, China Puff and Akimbo Compact 5.
- New Medic enemy units, prevents other enemy units from taking fatal damage.
- Return of the Panic Room heists from Payday 1
Fortunately, the entire update is free for Payday 2 owners, and will be permanent. This is a massive injection into the game, so hopefully we’ll be seeing you lovely criminals heisting out there.
