PAYDAY 3: Update 1.5.0 Changelog — First World Bank
Free Legacy Heist First World Bank
First World Bank is back again in PAYDAY 3!
Experience this classic heist in its reimagined glory, inviting nostalgia for old school players and a fresh experience for new heisters.
The stealth version takes players through the bank, making clever use of an insider to gain access to the vault. In loud, players first drill the security door, located in 1 of 2 randomized locations. Once inside, players need to burn their way through a floor to gain access to the cash and make a break for it through the wall to the neighboring building and making their escape.
First World Bank is available as FREE DLC for all players!
First World Bank Soundtrack - Pressure Point
In addition, our new track "Pressure Point" is available for pre-save on all good streaming services, and will be available at 3:00 pm CET on December 12th!

Leaderboards Webpage
PAYDAY 3 is getting leaderboards! There are two boards, one tracking kills, the other tracking secured bags.
We wanted to give players a chance to measure up to their counterparts, and thought this was a good start. It gives the competitive minded heisters in our community a goal to strive towards.
The boards live on a dedicated website that resets every week, so there’ll be 52 chances to rise to the top of the heisting world, and get the credit that such an accomplishment deserves, naturally. We hope to iterate on the leaderboards, so let us know what you’d like to see in the future!
You’ll be able to see the top ten players in addition to your own ranking. To participate, you need to choose to opt-in to leaderboards. You can sort that out by logging in to our website using your Nebula-ID.

Weapon Balancing
This patch we are continuing the weapon balancing. A main topic for this patch has been shotguns. The spread of the shotguns pellets have gotten a much more reliable design, they will create more similar patterns each time compared to before. They also have more pellets per shot to make it easier to hit with enough pellets to secure a kill.
The slower shotguns will also shred through the target and hit up to one more target behind the first one to make shotguns good at shooting at groups of swats.
- The FIK22 and the NWB9 have had their long awaited buffs now. With the right skill selection the FIK22 should now be able to one shot with a well placed bullet to the helmet of any SWAT. The damage output for the NWB9 should also be a bit higher, while also being easier to control when holding down the shoot button.
- A114 is getting some more recoil that makes it look a bit more powerful that also at the same time makes it a bit tricky to control when shooting fast bursts.
- NWB9: increased headshot multipliers across several distances, increased armor pen, decreased horizontal recoil and recoil pattern reset time to allow for more controlled bursts and get those headshots more reliably.
- A114: increased iron sight magnification, reduced spread across all stances, increased recoil.
- FIK22: reduced recoil, reduced spread across all stances, increased iron sight magnification, increased damage and HS multiplier.
- CASTIGO44: adjusted recoil and camera shake look and feel, increased damage and headshot multiplier across several ranges
- MOSCONI12: increased pellet count, removed armor pen, increased target penetration count, increased recoil, removed spray patterns, unified shotgun spread, adjustments to pellet spread to make this more efficient at range compared to other shotguns.
- R880: increased pellet count, increased damage closeup, increased target penetration count, increased recoil, removed spray patterns, unified shotgun spread. increased reload speed.
- FSA12: increased pellet count, increased damage closeup, increased recoil, removed spray patterns, unified shotgun spread
- M7P: increased pellet count, increased recoil, removed spray patterns, unified shotgun spread
- TAS12: reduced armor pen, increased target penetration count, increased damage closeup, reduced recoil, removed spray patterns, unified shotgun spread
Known Issues
- Weapons can now say they are at the max level, even at level 1. However, the weapons will upgrade correctly as it's a visual glitch.
- On Gold & Sharke: If you fail to use the blue keycard during the timer that starts after activating the managers computer the PC cannot be interacted with again, this means that stealth progression is blocked if you don't succeed on the first attempt.
