Payback is on the menu for the PAYDAY Gang today, as a brand-new heist arrives to settle a score and offer a fresh challenge for seasoned criminals.
Starbreeze Studios has released PAYDAY 3: Delivery Charge, the next chapter in the ongoing saga of high-stakes robberies in New York City.
Available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, this latest downloadable content continues the storyline with the Palatucci crime family, but this time, the gang is on the offensive.
It’s Time to Collect the Delivery Charge
Priced at £6.39, the Delivery Charge heist is a direct response to the events of a previous score. The Palatucci crime family, still reeling from the gang’s interference at Shayu’s warehouse, has made the foolish mistake of putting a bounty on their heads. Now, it’s time to make them pay.
The target: an armoured transport company the mob uses to move their cash.
This new job is set in a sprawling, loot-packed dockside transport depot and has been designed with a heavy focus on replayability. The heist features game-changing favours, dynamic entry points and clever randomisation.
These elements combine to create a volatile recipe where no two playthroughs of the heist will ever feel the same, encouraging players to come back and tackle the job in different ways.
Another Score for a Game in Need of Substance?
The continued addition of new heists and content is a clear effort by the development team to build upon the foundations of PAYDAY 3. When the game first launched, its slick presentation couldn’t quite mask a lack of depth. In our 3/5 review, we stated:
“PAYDAY 3 is sadly a classic case of style over substance. It’s a “by the numbers” FPS whose uninspiring offer struggles to distinguish it from the competition.“
The focus on high replayability and dynamic, randomised elements in the Delivery Charge heist seems to be a direct attempt to add more of that much-needed substance. By creating a less predictable environment, this new job could offer the kind of emergent, chaotic fun that makes the PAYDAY formula truly shine.
The Palatucci family thought they could get one over on the PAYDAY Gang, but they’ve only succeeded in painting a giant target on their own backs.
It’s time to mask up, gather your crew, and show them that some debts can only be paid in cold, hard cash. The PAYDAY 3: Delivery Charge DLC is available on digital stores now – like that of our favourite Xbox Store.
DLC Description
The Palatucci Family should’ve learned their lesson at Shayu’s warehouse. Instead, they put a bounty on our heads. Now they need to pay. In retaliation, we’ll hit an armored transport company the mob uses to move their cash. Nice of them to gather it all in one place.
