AAAAHHHH, I NEED A MEDIC BAG !!!!

I watched Kknowley's story series on the game and was instantly hooked on the game wanting to kick Murkywater butt. It felt so refreshing just using Sokol for everything, with that red cap and Crimson Comic. Perfection.

My first ever heist being money branch heist I spend an hour lockpicking since I thought it was an achievement after seeing the game had over a 1000 achievements

One of my most loved memories was back in 2013 when me and my friends still played on xbox 360, we finished Rats with all bags and didn't defuse any bomb, this game made my best memories in a online game ever.

thanks for everything

When the game first came out and Pro Jobs used to be a thing, I remember planning out Framing Frames stealth with a random group, going over the plan on who's doing what like the cameras or whos going inside to get the paintings and after 15 minutes of planning, one of my teammates get immediately detected and it goes loud.

Back in 2013, me and my friends had no money to buy games, so after school all we would do is play the Payday 2 demo on xbox 360 together over and over again, doing the same heist over and over for hours every day. Good times :D

I remember running through Hotline Miami when it first came out to get all the achievements first, didn't succeed but it was still fun. Here's hoping for more fun heists, colab or not! (Preferably another Hotline Miami one though :))

I got the game in 2021 so i didn't have much time with it. Even tho its been only 2-3 years for me, its was a blast. This is one of the best games i played in my life, thank you OVERKILL

What a journey. Payday 2 after the ups and downs of the game, the game still took place at my heart. Its a game that bring back fond memories of my life. I met some interesting people that i became friends with. The game is fun in many ways, that you can make a funny build or just try hard. Thanks Payday 2

I bought this game after my friends and my brother suggested it to me in 2022. now i have close to 1000 hours and almost done with completing every heist in DSOD ( only need 5 more) i have made countless memories in this game with randoms and my friends alike

Doing 25 bags over and over again in cook off even if it took more than an hour it was always fun to share this time with randoms and cracking some jokes in the chat

Nearly always failing stealth 5 minutes in.

It took me 5 hours to stealth Framing Frame day 3 on DSOD and it took me 4 months with a break in between to beat White House DSOD. I also remember trying to unlock the Bushido trophy and after failing so many times the one time I completed it, I forgot I had a modifier on and it didn't count the achievement. Still the game is fun and I love it,

From my first day in PAYDAY The Heist to the final days of PAYDAY 2, the PAYDAY franchise has always been close to my heart.

I consider myself blessed to make the friends I have a long the way bother heisters and developers and I hope to make more as we progress to the 3rd installment.

My favorite PAYDAY moment was back when the Big Bank was being showcased at E3. My friends and I were denied entry as we didn't have passes, as we sat outside pondering how to get in, there we saw two gentlemen with the Overkill bomb on their blazer jackets. It was Ilija and his brother! After an energetic exchange they found out what had happened and snuck us into E3 to enjoy the new map and meet the Overkill crew.

They had given us special access to the booth and we enjoyed the whole experience in its entirety.


Thank you Overkill and Starbreeze for all the love over the years! Here's to another decade of larceny and mass murder!

This game really us the yes.

I remember during the peak of the pandemic when oone of my friends told me to buy PD2, so I bought the game and the next couple of years were filled with joy, meta builds and some funny bugs. Most notably I remember trying to do Scarface od DSOD where we shat ourselves everytime there was a dozer since we were all dodge and didn't have someone with a rocket launcher.

I remember spending 2 hours in deathwish Cook Off, securing a lot of bags. I don't know if it was really the best decision reflecting on it, but it was fun nonetheless!

Playing payday 2 beta for the first time. Old skill trees, no perkdecks, max level 40. Got a really heavy nostalgia for my time in payday 2 beta after playing the payday 3 beta.

The amount of suffering i endured playing DSOD Loud is huge! But I'm still loving the game! Would recommend the experience to the whole family!

I remember watching payday 2 on YouTube since 2014 because I couldn't afford it, on 2015 by surprise my dad came out of nowhere with the ps3 version of the game, I was crawling on the roof out of the emotion and since then I played payday 2 until now

One of my favorite memories is when I met a girl who knew PAYDAY 2, and played it. We had just met at the time, and I invited her to play Panic Room and a few other heits with me! We were best friends for a few years, and have been in a relationship for over a year now!

It's been a long journey.
My favorite game of all time.

Back on the early 360 days, I once led a 4 man crew of strangers to completely clean out the Harvest & Trustee Bank using nothing but flashlight clicks and the crappy 360 messaging system. I'm still incredibly proud of that.

I remember it like today. The year 2017, we had som sort of a picnic at school and suddenly I go on steam and see that payday 2 is for free. Elated, I started telling everyone to pick up the game. To this day I still remember being thrown right into Car Dealership on DSOD with zero experience. It was an amazing experience.

I played Payday 2 since the beginning, but only with randoms. Randoms who were always nice and ready to teach new things. But it s thanks to Payday 2 i made my best friend. Now it s almost since 8 years i know him and we re still strong together and robbing banks. See you on Payday 3 brother!!

My favorite memorty is when i finally completed every heist on DSOD... 2 weeks ago

I remember telling my parents that this was a cool game where you play as a "good guy Robin Hood" type of figure, because I was afraid they wouldn't let me play it otherwise.

A decade later, that little lie has resulted in life changing friendships and thousands of hours of fantastic memories in and out of the game. Thank you PAYDAY!

On my first attempt on overdrill with some friends we got right to the vault, but got the puzzle incorrect and had to try again all from the start. It left us speechless lol

I remember my friend talking about this game back in 2019, and how cool the stealth of the game was, and in summer of next year he got me the game on sale, and what a ride the game was! can't wait for PD3!

I was playing Breakin' Feds with my friend trying to do Stalker and, on our about 100th attempt that night, I put in 2015 hoping that would be the correct code. I was correct, and I have never been happier than when we finally completed the achievement on that run.

I remember cooking meth with the boys in the middle of a school night, those were some of my best memories with the game. This game has always been one of my favourites, and seeing the community grow is very satisfying, especially when it's with a community that you love. From the memes, to the lore, thank you payday

First started playing Payday in 2017 when they gave away 5 million copies for free. Loved it so much that i played this game with 13fps for 600 hours on my old pc now i have almost 900 hours. Looking back the friends i made just because of payday are one of the best friendships i ever had, for a game thats about shooting cops the community are the sweetest. Looking forward to pd3 hope we get to see its 10th year too

I remember back in January of this year, me and my 3 friends were really invested in beating the heist "Breaking Feds". It is renowned for being difficult, and it took us around 66 attempts to beat the heist on MAYHEM difficulty (considering I was new to the game, and my friends had played the game in the past meaning they were a higher level than me). My stealth build back then was horrendous, but after 66 tries we did it. We had some really good laughs that evening. It took us around 2 days to beat the heist, considering the night before we had given up on the 20th or so attempt. It was late when we beat it, but when we beat it felt like the whole world had changed, and we had finally beat the Breaking Feds. To this day, it is still a running joke about how many times we attempted the heist... and the iconic line "Can't believe were coming back to this place.".

I remember how, i play payday 2 on xbox one,Then in 2020 year i buy Payday 2 on PC and buy Gage Russian Weapon Pack, and i thought that Gage is a Bodhi and i thought that Bodhi is russian.I play payday 2 few hours, then in 2023 year my friend told: who play with me payday 2? And then i started playing payday 2 many hours. Now i have Infamy III and more dlc. And i want to say for payday 2, Happy Birthday with 10 years old.

Bashing a cloaker with a comically large spoon. This pretty much sums it up.

I remember when my friend gave me a beta key for Payday 2. Bought it on release and it has been a big part of my gamer life ever since 🙂 ty for the good times and I am very excited for the Payday 3 collectors edition

I remember how I was excited when the game come out and was so happy to see old map from PAYDAY The Heist coming back

Me and a friend were playing Car Shop and it was looking doomed. I had managed to secure one of the cars, but my friend was lagging behind. With only five seconds left on the clock we thought we were done. But then he slammed the gas and slammed the car into the van and quickly got out and we escaped, granted one car less than expected but still, we escaped. Good times all around, haven't laughed quite so hard in a multiplayer game as I did then.

I'll never forget my journey to complete The Secret and getting all heists done on DSOD, and even after all that I'm still playing Payday 2 nearly everyday! <3

I still remember when I first downloaded the demo back in 2013... found a couple of heisters while matchmaking who are still my friends, 10 years on... Surreal to think that PAYDAY 2 has been with me from the 6th grade all the way to my senior year in university... so many memories...

I remember back when I lost my mind at Shadow Raid at the Hardest difficulty.
Also spending hours crafting builds for Infamy before 3.0 came out. Lots of procrastinating.

I remember when I first played the game like 8 years ago on Xbox 360 and it being amazing and I loved it but also being buggy and not having a lot to do right away and stealth being confusing and hard af. But over the years, they have done a lot of stuff, and i'm so happy that payday is my favorite game ever and starbreeze is the best developer company outthere, they love the community and always listen to em. LETS GET HEISTING HEISTERS

My first experience with Payday 2 was in 2014, I was excited because I had money and could afford a game for my PS3, and there it was, PAYDAY 2. Robbing banks and doing it with friends seemed like a great idea. From that moment this game has become one of my favorites, and thanks to it I've got a very nice community both on Twitch and Youtube which I appreciate very much.

Spending 8 hours trying to stealth the dragon heist on the highest difficulty, i failed but i still had fun

Long time payday fan, playing PD:TH in 2011 and playing payday 2 over the past 10 years has been a rollercoaster, the ups and downs but with my friends it's been a lot of fun... Can't wait to see what Payday 3 brings to the table!

This isn’t much of a payday 2 memory but more of how I got introduced to the franchise. Around Christmas 2012, my mother went to our local GameStop and asked the cashier a good first person shooter game that would be a good Christmas gift and the employee recommended Payday: The Heist. That employee is the real one and he put me on to the best video game of all time and I’m forever grateful to have been here for even longer than this anniversary! Payday 3 here we come with more memories to be had!

Crazy to think that PAYDAY 2 is 10 years old today. I started out as a fan 10 years ago, then I got hired by Starbreeze 5 years ago. And in just about one month we will be launching our next game in the franchise! ✨

"guys, the thermal drill, go get it!"

favorite memory was actually a very recent one, me and the team worked hard to get 'beneath the mountain' done (at least opening the 4 vaults) in under ten minutes. whole call was shouting when we clutched it with <10 seconds remaining

Payday was always on my radar but never gave it a try until 2016. 1000 Hours since then and i would say its one of my favorite games of all time. Happy 10th Anniversary Payday 2. Let's make it atleast another 10 when Payday 3 comes out!

I remember booting up the PSN store one day on my PS3 and seeing a gamed called Payday The Heist, and played the shit out of it, i never got payday 2 until 2015 on my Xbox One, ive been playing Payday 2 since on PC

I met some of my best friends playing Breakin' Feds stealth in a public game! We strategized and and tried on many attempts for HOURS until we got that perfect run!

The first time i tried overdrill with my friends, we had did it, we made our way into the overdrill chamber, we only had to put the code and take all the gold, but my friend misclick and the gaz entered, we lost 30 minutes of gameplay, but we laughed a lot afterward !

me and my friends are trying to get all achievements back in 2017 it was crazy but we barely managed

I started playing back in 2020, right before Scarface went off sale. Playing with friends, trying to get all achievements and beating everything on DSOD was amazing, even if we failed the heist. In the almost 3 years that I've been playing this game i have managed to rack up 800+ hours of playtime and Payday has quickly become one of my favourite games of all time, and one i will frequently revisit.

When me & my friend Demeschik finally finished Framing Frame in stealth back in 2013 without any guides (since those didn't really exist anyway). Simple nowadays but very satisfying back then.

Man, It's super fun sending Almir himself to custody with a rocket launcher. You won't find that kind of interaction with a developer in another game.

I've made some great memories and friends along the way because of this awesome franchise. Something about this game was really special to us because we still keep in touch, despite some of them not even playing the game anymore. I'm sure that will change very soon however because ALL of them are very excited about Payday 3. Thank you so much to all the passionate people who have worked on this franchise and always made it their top priority to give the community their PAYDAY.

Payday 2 was one of the first games i ever played on PC. I still remember my first Heist i played during a free Weekend and grinding through the demo until i bought the full game.

I remember how cocky my partner was when it came to fighting the Bulldozers. They would get excited about every opportunity to get one of them... until the first day of Hoxton's Heartswarming, that is.
Not being able to stun Dozer, coupled with their ability to run, made my partner panic everytime they spot that hulking mass rushing their way! Complete switch from predator mentality to prey mentality was jarring to watch at the time!)
P.S. They are much more confident nowadays.

I’ve been a longtime fan since the original in 2011. Back then I could only play games with a very underpowered 2010 MacBook. I played a fan-made port to Mac and put countless hours into it. A few years later PAYDAY 2 came out and I actually had a PC this time, so I picked that up for real too.

Been playing it ever since, and I even met my partner and best friends playing it. We’re absolutely stoked and can’t wait for PAYDAY 3!

My friend told me that there was a minigun in payday… and now I’m addicted to the game. Thanks Abounded!

Finally getting the DSOD mask solo after crying at Lab Rats.

I made a friend on big oil and after years of playing payday2 we met in real life many times.
We are roughly 200 kilometers apart.

first time i played this game in 2015, every single lobby i joined, i met amazing players, they always balanced between explaining the game while still giving me a chance to explore it myself, been in love with the game ever since

For the first 200 hours since getting Payday 2, I only played it at 10fps, and yet I enjoyed every second of the game. Fan of the franchise since 2015, and gonna just keep going, forever a heister.

I started playing like everyone else, and got very early into modding various things, such as models. As I gathered more experience on how the game worked, I started my first LUA scripts and fell in love doing just that. PAYDAY 2 will *always* keep a special place in my heart, because that's why, thanks to it, that I got a job as a game programmer today.

In PAYDAY 2. There was a very funny moment that occurred just out of nowhere during the Cook Off Heist and a Cloaker didn't spawn in at all for a good bit than out of nowhere one spawns and chases me and I screamed extremely loudly while being chased
All of my friends heard it.

I started playing PAYDAY2 during the pandemic in 2020. Since then, there is literally no year without PAYDAY in my life.
My favourite memory is probably when I played Shadow Raid for the first time with my friend Sosa95. It was very enjoyable.
PAYDAY2 is perhaps the most unique videogame of all time.

My best memory was from doing a charity stream during the weekend after release. We raised $11k for charity while enjoying Payday 2 for 36 hours. Also have many great memories of doing silly challenges and celebrating my bday with friends in Payday! Thanks you all (especially Apo, Merky, Nacho) for still being here and hanging out after 10 years! Looking forward to creating more memories in Payday 3!

I still remember the day when my good friend and I were able to clear Henry's Rock on Death Sentence One Down. Payday 2 has been a game that thoroughly scratched my achievement hunting itch and moments like that, getting the Tabula Rasa achievement or Reputation Beyond Reproach will stick with me even after Payday 2 as a game has not.

Started payday 2 back in 2014.
Hotline Miami and big bank got me hooked to this game. Now after so many years, I was approved as a Japanese translator for the game, leading a big door towards my secondary career.
I work as a game translator/gamer article writer, all because payday2 has gave me a new path.

And even now, I love this game and all the developers who are working with this game.

Now my dream is to continue the hunt for the secret in payday3, and spreading the heisting wave in Japan through the Starbreeze partner program.
I’ll see all of you on the other side!
The next 10 years of PAYDAY3!

I started playing the game when i was able to download it for free on steam, i remember having so much fun back then until i lost my account. Didn't care much about it because i've been able to actually buy the game and most of the DLCs. Payday is honestly one of my favorite games of all time and i'm glad of where everything is today. I wish everyone happy heisting and remember to keep those helmets flying!!

PAYDAY 2 was one of the games with which I met some of my closest friends, from trolling them by putting the cloaker noise on my sound board to finish our last job on death wish back when it was the highest difficulty or doing the white house secret with them, I cannot count the amount of found memories I have from this game alone. Compared to other veterans, I might not have played 6000h+ but I enjoyed every second of my play time.

Im so glad i played this game! I met amazing peoples who helped me with stealth and DSOD!

See ya all in Payday 3!

I remember doing your usual bank heist, after some time, a fellow robber has decided to join me, we completed the heist in ease, and later on became great teammates, sadly he passed out. Rest in peace, the legend

i spend a lot of time with this game, i meet a lot of people and have a lot of memories <3

I have had problems in my adolescence and thanks to PAYDAY 2.... I found a place to be welcome and well received. Also PAYDAY 2 made me something known on the Internet and I really... I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

Shadow Raid was so fun to learn to play in stealth.
The Big Bank trailer was a thing…
Crimefest weeks were so hype!

Growing up during highschool i didn't really have the best of computers. And Payday 2 was the really only game i could run. And the amount of friends and time i played this game with was amazing.

I remember all the way back in 2013 I was on my school bus heading to school when in between songs, the two radio hosts began talking about their disgust for this little bank robbing game that was about to release called PAYDAY 2. To be honest, they sold me on the game. Ten years and a thousand hours of playtime later, all I gotta say is thanks for the recommendation Mr. and Mrs. radio hosts.

Started heisting in 2011, got PDTH the day It came out and played hours upon hours with fandoms and had great fun. Fell in love with all the characters but Hoxton was my favorite because we have a similar vocabulary. Fast forward to payday 2 and I taught my friends to heist and we took on all the scores as they all came out throughout the years we never slowed down. Payday is a huge part of my life, felt like Christmas when I heard we were breaking Hoxton out. I look forward to heisting with you all in Payday 3, and I’m glad to have Wolfy back:)

I remember coming back from school and playing this game every day with the very same gang I played with during Payday: The Heist. My laptop could barely handle the game at the time! But I still had a blast.

I started heisting around the time we met the Dentist. Some friends of friends had been playing and it looked like a blast; I couldn't have imagined what it would become! Now my crew are my family, and PAYDAY will always be part of what we made together.

3 Friends, Green Bridge, All Cloakers, everybody's downed within 30 seconds. That just shows the chaotic energy of Payday 2.

I remember jamming so hard listening to crimefest 2014 while I fought blood, sweat and tears against overkill cops.

First it was seeing some random videos on my YouTube homepage about the game, then the trailer, then playing it myself years later, to the 10 anniversary -
It's been a ride. It's been an honor.

I remember when for april fools one year, this bouncy explosives got activated. I have a friend Who used to main Golden AK and RPG and Went crazy during days because of this until we told him. That moments with him and the rest of the Crew (we met in-game 8 years ago and still play) where Amazing. This and million more. I hope to get new memories with this people on the new one too. They are basically family to me now. I am 26 years old now (the youngest in the group) and they have been with me during all kinds of moments and even got some tears when I moved continents. Thanks for letting me have this awesome interactions with people I would definitelly not know now.

That one game with soul. There is so many little things that you can remeber this game for. From UI design, through guns and characters, for fun moments with friends. I hope PD3 will be same memorable...

i remember when i first got payday 2 in like 2020 (late to the party, i know) my friends and I played Reservoir dogs and were just really confused and lost the whole time but it was a lot of fun! now payday 2 is one of my most played games, i adore the story and cant wait to see where it goes in payday 3 (i pre-ordered gold edition)

Whilst I haven't been playing for a very long time, I'll always remember properly prepping a squad, hopping into VR myself and absolutely destroying the First World Bank, working together to survive through OVERDRILL for a solid hour and a half!
I stood at the entrance to the vault-area with a long-barrelled Vulcan Minigun, shredding anything that was in my line of sight whilst the team grabbed, bagged and threw the gold down the vents. Time flew by, and we loved every minute of it.

Though it isn't the coolest experience in the world, it was one of the many in PAYDAY 2 that brought me and my friends closer, and even more so as the future calls us to 3.

For the past, and To the future! 🥂

Payday 2 was one of my first pc games, and it was (and it is) absolutely wonderful. I still remember all those helmets flying, and the epic heists with our beloved gang. Probably one of the best gaming experience you can have. I'm ready for Payday 3 and don't forget ; Let's do this.

I remember that struggle when I tried stealthing Election Day. I failed for 3 hours straight, and I told myself I would never play stealth again. Now I completed every stealthable heist on DSOD. God I love this game.

I remember picking up the game on release day for my Xbox 360. Then a long week of playing and convincing my friends to buy it too!

Payday 2 has been such a great game. COngrats on the 10 years. Favorite memory was playing with my friend going through Career Mode honestly/

I'll never forget the time me and my friends I met on payday 2 were all working together getting the keys and suitcase in framing frame to unlock a new grenade launcher. We even all wore president masks in theme with the heist!

I was still pretty new to the game, playing the Street Escape at night (for what heist I can't remember) with a newly maxed out Sociopath deck, not even knowing about skills, trying to use as few bullets as possible. In between assault waves me and a crew of randos were moving the bags to the escape vehicle when a cloaker randomly spawned in a dark alleyway, lit by a single light post, crawling out of a sewer grate. I completely forgot I was on Mayhem and ran up to him, killed him with a couple blows from the MotherForker, with Jacket saying "I really enjoyed that" as I left the alleyway and went on my way. It was the perfect movie moment, and it'll always stick in my mind as one of my favorite kills I've ever gotten in Payday 2.

I remember I used to go all the way around the right side of Diamond Store to get to the camera room.
My very first heist was Art Gallery and almost every time I go infamous and go back to Level 0, I do Art Gallery on Normal in memory of that.

I remember the Payday 2 demo on PS3, where you could go up to level 10 maximum, there was only one heist and you could play with other players. It was possible to see players on this demo for a little while after the game's release, and it was great to see this little community!

I remember starting this journey in 2015, the first heist I remember playing was Hoxton breakout, still one of my favorite heists, I remember grinding that heist until I got to max level, fun times.

Payday 2 is a videogame of all time. There are many things I can say about it. It's my favourite game ever. I had a lot of memories playing it. My core memory was when I booted up the game and played it with my friends.

i hate cloakers <3

My favorite memory in PAYDAY was learning how to do the H&T Bank from my older brother while I was a kid.

I got this game in a steam summer sale for free, back when I was 11 on my office computer. I only played mall crasher, but I enjoyed it so much that I went to my grandma's and begged her to buy me the gold addition for my Xbox, which could run it. I got it, and it escalated to where i got barred from playing it due to me sitting in my room for hours replaying heists like golden grin casino endlessly.

Thank you for all the good memories - the developers, the modders and the players have given to me and many others over the years.
Here's to another payday!

playing the goat sim payday dlc on my xbox one

The wonderful game full of surprises.
Ever fought off a police army with a spoon?
No? Then get on Payday 2!

I remember the first time I got this game for xbox 360 turning it on going hours around safehouse for no reason and trying to do jewelry store stealthy

I originally started playing after watching youtube videos but after me and my friend started playing it together we found out it was a great way to make new friends.

I remember seeing a video from Russian badger back in 2021 and decided to download the game and try it out and have been addicted to it ever since! #CREAMYLISTOARMY

Man, 10 years
Started playing since 2014, I was pretty much a kid, but I was having a blast all the way through.
As of now, me and a couple of friends are trying the Secret Ending, it's been fun and will always be.
We pre-order PAYDAY 3, so expect us there!!
oh, and Doffi, buy payday plz

One of my favorite moments is rushing to get all the achievements when a new heist launched. Thank you overkill for the content over the years, and thank you for more on the way!

Payday 2 had just come out, console was still getting updates. Cloakers were just brought back from payday 1, and still weren't working right. A Cloaker misses their kick that was aimed at me, then seemingly not knowing what to do from there it just staring beating down nothing.

10 Years of stealing our weekends playing all day.
What about 20?
Gamers, Lets do this!!

I remember first playing the Payday 2 demo on the Xbox 360. I distinctly remember the only heist being bank heist and loving the Commando 553 / Gruber Kurtz weapons. I also remember a glitch in the map where you went under the scaffolding on the roof of the bank and it would clip you into the vault every time. Fun times, it was a memory that stuck with me on my journey from 360, to xbone, to PC and across a steam account loss. I will always mark payday as my favorite game. Timeless, as always.

The game I never knew i needed, and I truly did not deserve! <3

I first played Payday 2 around the time it came out on the xbox360 back in good ol' 2013, I liked it but I pretty much forgot about it until 2016 when my brother bought me the game on steam, and ever since then, I've been hooked. And while I have had my ups and downs (holy shit never do that alien mayan bullshit again...) with this game and the community, I'll always remember that its thanks to Payday that I've met a lot of my online friends.

I remember the hype with the Breaking News update and the White House Heist.
We got update after update a clear conclusion of the ARG and see all the community discover the truth behind the White House... Man, what an epic investigation by all the community !

No regerts to get hyped during 10 years of PAYDAY 2 !

Got into Payday 2 because of a friend. And instantly fell in love with the game. The humor, Gun and build variety, the awesome music that kicks in when things go wrong and you have to start going guns blazing. It's something no other game has been able to recreate for me. Truly a one of a kind game this. I'm super excited for Payday 3.

I think my favourite memory of this game is actually fairly recent, My first attempt at crude awakening i thought id try DSOD stealth, Not only did i complete the run but got all additional loot and the correct sample first time. Such an epic heist to top 10 years of an amazing game and community.

I remember getting into Payday during a free weekend and have been a fan since

Step 1: Place 14 explosive mines in one place
Step 2: Look at explosive mines up close
Step 3: Fire 000 buckshot into explosive mines
Step 4: Funny

I remember playing the Payday 2 demo on my old XBOX 360 8 years ago. Now I'm playing it on PC and I've met so many amazing and incredible people, some of whom I still talk to, to this day. And I look forward to meet even more people and friends in Payday 3!

I've had such a fantastic decade with my regular crew and nothing can ever surpass the amount of times a judge shotgun has made heist go from professional to comedy. One burning memory is watching someone panic hit a balcony guard on golden grin and having them fly across the entire length of the casino dead into the pit. Thank you payday 2, welcome payday 3

Got the game from a friend back in 2019 and got a couple of hours on it since, about 2000.

Started on the 360 in 2014 and moved to PC early 2015. Played consistently till 2018 and came back a month ago in prep for 3!

Nightclub, around 2016. Loud and in Overkill difficulty. Right now it sounds lame, but I'll never forget the satisfaction of carrying all the loot to the van, somehow surviving on my last down while the rest of the crew was in custody.

I grew up with payday 2, reaching 1000 hours on console. 2 years ago I changed over to PC, payday was the first thing I downloaded! Within the 1100 hours I have on steam today, I reached the ultimate achievement of the DSOD mask. Little me would've been so proud. :')

My first experience with PD2 when I properly started it was with the heist "Big Oil" and it took 1hour and 15minutes to finish that damned heist. It's been my favorite ever since <3

Doing Alesso heist no killing people achievement while going loud since the start, truly a wonderful experience (and I got the achievement as well!)

I remember back in August of 2013 I saw my brother playing PAYDAY 2 with his friends, I promptly went and bought the game for my 360. Just before Crimefest of 2014 I had a PC built specifically to play PAYDAY 2 on PC because of the content draught on Console.

I met most of my friends on PAYDAY 2 few I still speak to and play PAYDAY 2 and other games with today. I remember joining a Transport: Downtown around 2016, where the host was testing out a mod which made heisters randomly speak from certain events, such as: the possibility to yell "Stay Down!" when killing a cop.

With countless !!!Access Violations!!! Later, the mod works and we still heist together to this date.

Honorable Mention - I met his friend about a year later on Hoxton's Revenge, It was his first time playing the game. From what I've been told, I complained about the heist being on Hard and not Overkill at the least. I also got told that I was laughing at him for using an Amcar at level 80+. We all laugh about it now though... Or are they laughing at me? ._.

Too many to count; But the time I got the legendary weapon skin 'City of Gold' accepted to the game was pretty good- even better after there was a whole event named after it, casino yacht heist included.

My first time getting intereted in payday franchise was back in 2017 when I saw my cousin play car shop and after a while I finally got a better laptop and started playing payday 2 myself in mid 2019. Now I have almost 2.5k hours and look foward to playing payday 3.

Reset my save file to play with my partner who just got the game around the time we first started dating. We beat the entire story line and even got to the Secret together. Playing this game was a true bonding experience.

Back when i was just a 100 hour fella i was doing the white house on very hard with my friend. me and him couldnt do it. but its the fact we kept trying and we still enjoyed it. gotta be some of the most fun ive had on payday 2

The S P O O N.

Finishing the White House heist when it first came out in 2018 to finish up the original storyline, and then finally coming back to it two years later to finish the secret with the help of a friend I met through PAYDAY

Shared a lot of time having fun with my school friend in this game since 2015. That was cool! Too much memories to share here, but all of them are amazing! Like car heist in dinosaur masks, april fools mods and more

I played it first time in 2015 and it changed my life, the game fulfill all my fantasies of doing the ultimate heist and being a notorious criminal badass from watching a lot of crime and heist movies like Heat, PAYDAY will always have a special place in my heart, there's no other franchise that I love more than PAYDAY

This game consumed a lot of my time, and with mods, it consumed even more. Truly one of my personal favorite games of all time. Please keep this game alive even if it stops getting support ;-;

There was this one time on scarface mansion, very hard difficulty, where only my friend and a jacket Ai was alive. I remember cheering the Ai on as it carried us through the end of the heist.

I met my best friend on Payday 2 just a few months after release. We've played all sorts of games together since then, but we always come back to pull one more score.

I remember playing back on the 360 in 2013, playing Framing Frame with friends, stopping a Guard from calling in the radio by jumping at him and getting arrested. not what i intended but it delayed the call long enough for a friend to deal with it.

I've always loved that game since the release. However, i started playing back in 2016 when the Scarface DLC was released. I was a HUGE FAN of the movie. And thanks to OVERKILL. Thank you guys for this game to be so awesome after so 10 years! Love y'all!

When Dallas said "It's Payday time" and paydayed all over the bank security.

Completing all heists on DSOD… solo. It was a journey.

"Aaaah, I need a medic bag!"

Just think, 10 years have already passed, but how quickly. Playing since 2014, I have found many wonderful people thanks to this game. And it can also be fun to spend an evening in the company of friends and chatting over a game. It was especially fun when new contracts were released.

Payday 2 carried me over my depression in lockdown.I've met so many cool people over there that helped me to stay positive and keep going ;-)

I remember playing the demo non stop for payday 2 on the ps3.
I finally ended up purchasing the game on PC during 2015 together with The Gage Ninja pack.
Then i did my first ever stealth heist to get that sweet ninja mask!

Sometime in mid 2014 I picked up the game and was practicing stealth on Shadow Raid with a friend, he was teaching me the ropes. We were super serious, cautious and planning how we're going to do things. Then, while sneaking around the containers, a guard began to walk straight up into the sky. He probably got to around twice the height of the warehouse. We were in tears and laughed for a solid 5 minutes. Probably one of the best gaming memories for me.

The multi-hour quest to complete Birth of Sky in DSOD. We ended up needing to pull in a fourth just so we had more bodies to throw at it. Was one of the last ones we needed to get all of them done, and the success was a serious rush.

I had and I am still having great time playing payday 2 either alone or with friends. It is truly the GREATEST game I've ever played and I would ony hope that there were more heists

AHHHHHHHH I NEED A MEDIC BAG !!!

Cleaning the halls of No Mercy using the Compact 40mm grenade launcher. Not a cop in sight

man, payday was the first game in my steam library that wasn´t free to play, i spent hours and hours playing it and nevet got bored, i have met incredible people and friends, gotta be my favorite game right now, 10 years... thanks for being with me for the mayority part of my life! and as Bain said one "Lets do this" !!!!

So many memories over 9 years and 5k hours - between finding ways to tackle every challenge, the various community projects and forming long-lasting friendships.
What I remember the most is the excitement of there always being something to look forward to. Each month or so bringing the next score, some unexpected story development, new toys or obstacles.
I hope Payday 3 can reignite this spark.

I remember getting the game as a gift early around 2013-14 from a close friend hopping into the game with a laggy mouse doing a bank heist, so inexperienced so wide eyed just enjoying playing a new game with my friends. I always hopped on the game when they did, acting as the bag boy in stealth as I was bad at it. As I got better and the friend group started to not play anymore, it was just me as Wolf and my friend who got me the game as Bonnie. I miss playing payday with him.

Before I had my own money to buy games with i spent countless hours playing the Payday 2 demo on PS3. Then Payday 2 was the first game I ever bought after getting a laptop.

I remember seeing this game 10 years ago and was so hyped about it but was unable to buy it. A year later, a friend bought the payday 2 4-pack thinking it was with the dlc and handed me a key. Oh boy, I didn't know what I was going into. I'm still playing this game now and met so many new friends across the world. I remember when I first put my mask, my first bank robbed, the first time I cleared shadow raid dw solo. This game changed my life, and will be tatooed on me.
So hyped for PAYDAY 3

Mentioning the "meth" recipe to a classmate, realizing we both play PAYDAY 2, connecting and becoming close friends, being excited every day after school to go home and play PAYDAY 2 together, pushing through Death Wish to get the mask, when it was still the hardest challenge in the game.

I freaking miss those days :(

This game has gotten ups and downs through its history but the community is what truly made Payday 2 what is now with its 10 years.

I think my favourite memories of Payday 2 has to be all the times where I've played with my girlfriend. Just seeing her slowly get better as we play has been such an amazing expirience. Though getting a follow from both Payday twitter man and Almir on twitter is also cool

Got the game when Hoxton Breakout came out. Since he was my favourite in the first game so i knew i had to get the game absolutely then. Now i have 1900+ hours sinked in.

Wow... 10 whole YEARS of Payday 2. That... I would never have imagined that I would be able to see a game like this grow so big (I mean that in how big the community is and by how much storage this game takes like holy shit 85+ Gigabytes my god). Although I don't play this game that much nowadays my friend Clover plays it a lot! She bought it in early 2020 and loves it to bits! I will say that my earliest memory of this game was... ah, I forget the year but one of my old friends introduced me to this game all the way back on the Xbox 360 and wow I just... I don't know what to say without repeating myself but man... It's been a long journey.

This goes to Payday 3 and another successful decade! 🥂

Thank you for all the fun you have given me since 2013, and continue to amuse to this day. Gracias Totales.

my greatest memory for sure has to be the secret and everything revolving around it, solving the achievements made me grow close to a few friends, unlocking the trophies to start the secret made me improve (and started my obsession with trohpies). and the final vault at the white house has to be one of the most rewarding things you could ever do in payday besides maybe overdrill.
major props to overkill on this one

Doing all the achievements on the original PS3 version.. finding a lifelong friend from a random lobby. What a trip it has been..

One of my fondest memories was the lead up to the release of the Big Bank Heist. One of the first major heist DLCs to be released that really took me back to that Hollywood blockbuster feeling with the introduction of The Dentist and hearing the opera singing for the first time in the trailer and just having the similar cinematic moment in game with the singing happening right at the end of the heist when the bus crashes into the wall and it was a full force attempt to get all the loot to the van.

Played since Payday 2 Beta. Found new friends for life. Completed all (but one) possible tasks (achievements and trophies). 'Free' Epic version made possible to start to get all achievements again (now at 870/1327 in 2 months).

I've played ever since 2014 on PS3 till 2016 and changed PS3 for PC version. Payday 2 was, is and most likely will be a greatest PvE game ever created.
I'm glad I've been a part of the journey and made memories that will last!

10 years. 10 years of robbing everything that ain't bolted down, and even then, that too. I remember playing the original PDTH, made friends, which I then played PD2 with, for ages. We eventually drifted apart, new friendships were made, and throughout, Payday 2 was there! From the highs, to the lows, it's one of the games that I returned to more than any other. I'm excited to see what the future with Payday 3 holds!

While I journeyed to complete all of the achievements and challenges, the best ones were when I needed a team of heisters who would be able to help me get some of them. Above all the story was my favorite, events with hidden puzzles or speculations.

have made some very long lasting frienships playing this game. Though im not as good as other players it has been a blast playing this game!

The Alesso heist stealth in a pub game. We had failed multiple times until we gave in and exchanged discords. We're still some of the closest online brothers ive had.

I first saw Payday 2 on the xbox and i played it with my brother i had a blast and when i got a pc one of my friends had it and showed me how it was on pc and the rest was history.

I remember when I played Payday 2 with some friends and we used to get many achievements and complete the different jobs in the game I wish I could go back in time and be with them again with the band

During the launch of payday 2 I was sad to see no Cloaker back then I didn’t have access to the internet so I didn’t know when updates were coming out and one day on four stores I’m in the China store and next minute I hear the iconic sound we are used to now I looked behind me and there he was sprinting full force at me I would say I was amazed and happy to see him back but to be honest I was scared out of my mind and scream and what made it better is the line he said was “you wanted me back I’m back” this moment has stayed with me for many years

The first time i was playing death wish difficulty with my friends, we were playing Slaughterhouse. It was going easy, we opened the vault easily and proceeded to carrying the bags. Then my friend said "Hey, are those two dozers carrying miniguns?", In the next ten seconds everyone got downed and groupchat was a total chaos. Everyone one was blaming each other. Thank you Starbreeze and Overkill for separating my friend group for over 3 months <3

I've played this game for 600 hours... and last week was my first time in 4 years of playing solo, that i have played with a full group of friends. I will cherish that memory of us all on bank heist: gold for the rest of my time.

I started Payday 2 with the beta back in July 2013. Bought the game on launch and couldn't put it down. I did my degree for the next three years and spent far too much time heisting than studying. Taking part in community events, befriending other players, and eagerly awaiting every new update really hit the core of what the Payday experience is about, and I'll always be so fond of this game.

Met one of my mates through Payday 2. We endured DSOD together with our final heist being Goat Sim. That final rush we felt when getting into that truck will never be forgotten!

From PAYDAY: The Heist all the way to PAYDAY 3, what a ride we've had. There's been ups and downs, but here we are!

Trying to figure out how four heisters fit inside a delorean stuffed to the briim with meth and guns.

I think easily my most fond memory was back when the Hotline Miami heist released. My friends and I tried for hours to get the overdose achievement for the Graham mask. For hours we couldn't get the right ingredient spawn only learning after all that time we were on the wrong difficulty. Brought about a good laugh after a small bout of frustration. Been playing since launch and I'm excited for the future!

My friend introduced me to this game to play as a joke, after I recognized the gameplay it was the game I was wanting to remember when I played on the xbox 360, Payday 2, after that I played until I said enough and made people that I probably won't forget early. so thank you Overkill for creating this gem.

I started playing in 2014 and I played the game religiously until Crimefest 2015. I did come back eventually and despite everything that has happened, good and bad, Payday 2 holds a very special place in my heart - 2600 hours over 9 years, 1325 of 1328 achievements, and 8 years (on and off) working on a mod.

Payday 2 might have its problems and had a rocky road, but it's undoubtedly a very special game that I will never forget my time playing and I don't regret a second of it.

I remember preordering the Career Criminal Edition and being excited for the game after PDTH, talking about it with my buddies at school. Doing it all over again but this time at a comfortable office job.
2014 was probably the best year for the game and the community. I hope we get more 2014s in the future.

I've had problems in my adolescence and thanks to PAYDAY 2... I found a place that is welcoming and well received. Also PAYDAY 2 made me something known on the internet and I really... I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

Got into PAYDAY way back when a friend gifted me PD:TH just after the Wolf Pack release, ended up with me grabbing the Career Criminal edition of 2 and playing the beta (I remember the day Nightclub was added, still my favourite heist :D )
Been playing constantly since, got my death wish mask in feb 2015, and did a whole bunch of modding too
Here's to sinking another 2000 hours into PD3!

Playing No Mercy with my friend in Death Wish, it is very crazy

Me and my friends got payday to all play together and I can't even say how awesome it was doing Heists together and me and my friends we are very imaginative so when we got a bit to into it we started to do a full roleplay it was a BLAST and the fun things we encountered while playing. Thank you payday for letting us have this AWSOME experiencem

My favorite moment in Payday 2 for me has to be doing white house stealth with a friend. After at least 8 tries we finally reached the end, and all we had to do was grab the pardon documents, but me being the way that i am smashed the glass, instantly sounding the alarm. We still made it out but I never got to live that down. Here's to another 10 years of heisting!!!

I remember the release of "The Bomb Heists" - DLC pack. On release, me and my buddy had multiple attempts stealthing "Bomb - Dockyard" on the highest difficulty (was Death Wish back then) until we finally finished it without leaving a trace. What an exciting moment.

The community on the game, steam and discord has been a large part of my life and it's been a wild ride with ups and downs. I honestly have no idea where I'd be without it. You guys totally changed my entire life, thanks for being cool!

Getting every trophy and completing the safehouse. It was my goal from when I first started, and it only took me 1300 hours!

As quite a few of us, I first started playing because of Badger. His videos introduced me to this game, and I've been hooked ever since. Now, over 3 years and almost 1.000 hours spent in-game later, I'm still playing the game. Part of that is of course the fun gameplay. But the thing that really keep me tied to this game is the community. Yeah, you. My best memories are those playing with randoms for hours, only to maybe never see them again. The conversations we had in the lobby, the loot we scored mid-heist. All will stick with me. You know, we might not be the best community out there - that one goes to Deep Rock Galactic - but we're damn happy being number two. As SBZ says, keep those helmets flying friends. Cya all in Payday 3 <3.

Picklocking safe deposit boxes in 2013 all wearing Obama masks...And 5 hours of trying goat simulator on dsod(Never again)

Just getting on my PS4 after school and playing PD2 with my friends was always aweasome.

Can't remember exactly just when I started playing, had the game on my library for a while but I couldn't ever give it a proper chance, the only thing I know is that the game quickly became my most played game ever. I've put over 700 hours into this game, which isn't a lot on the grand scheme of things yet I am still proud of, and of all those hours my favorite moments were playing with a friend from his start to helping him beat the secret ending, that friend who I got the game for a while back and who is now my boyfriend. Thanks to this amazing game I got to spend hours upon hours with him, and thanks to this game my liking for FPS games started, so suffice to say this game became an integral part of my life and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I've bought Payday becouse i watched youtube about and i thought this game is cool, and is was cool. i am playing this game for over 2 years it is always the same as i remember
