PAYDAY 2: A word from Simon – Music update coming!

+ + + + +

Hello robbers and music lovers,

Simon here. For those who don’t know, I’m the “voice of Bain”. I’m also responsible for all the music in PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2 along with some other stuff we don’t have to go into now.

The music is a big part of PAYDAY and we are – in a not too distant future – going to release an update that only has to do with the music. I won’t tell you right now exactly what that update contains, but it’s gonna be some sweet, sweet stuff!

In “PAYDAY: The Heist” – the game that “PAYDAY 2” is the sequel of – all heists had their own music, and you would only hear that music when you played that heist.

Right now I’m interested in hearing from the PAYDAY 2 community, to find out what tracks and heists would fit together like that in PAYDAY 2. Here are ten polls where you can have your say in the matter:

Click here to get to the polls!

Please take all ten polls! Right now the first poll I put up (for the track “Time Window”) has more than three times more voters than some of the other polls, which is a bit odd. You guys grow tired after answering one poll? Show some resilience! ;-)

TL;DR – click the link above and take the polls. Music update coming.

Q: Why is there no “all heists” option in the polls, or OMZG WILL THE MUSIC NOT BE RANDOM ANYMORE I WOULD HATE THAT!!!1!11!!!!
A: Don’t worry, we will not force this change on anyone. We’re just taking some suggestions for the default settings of a feature that you will be able to alter yourself or choose not to use at all. The randomization feature will still be in the game after the update.

Q: Why are some heists missing in the list of options? And why are there no polls for some tracks?
A: Some tracks fit naturally with certain heists, so we don’t feel the need to ask the community about these. For example, Big Bank was released with the music track “Ode to Greed” – and the Armored Transport DLC came with the music track “Armed to the Teeth”.

Q: Why doesn’t the poll make any difference between the two different versions of “Election Day – Day 2”?
A: That’s how this music feature will work in the game too, it won’t make a difference between the two variations of that heist. If you think this sucks, we can only apologize.

Q: When does this update come?
A: No info on that right now, sorry.

Q: Can I get an option to turn off Bain? He talks too much!
A: We’re aware that this is a requested feature, but this update is only about the music.

Hit me up on twitter @simonviklund if you have anything to ask.
