PAYDAY 2: The Sydney Character Pack, update 98 and skills beta update 4 are live!

Heisters!

So it’s time to shake hands with our latest addition to the PAYDAY crew: Sydney.

Born and raised in Australia, she’s not the one to dodge out of a fight – rather the opposite. All grown up on whatever punk rock music she could get her hands on – she became a true anarchist – but far from a pacifist.
