How it plays
Four players take on a heist togetherDrilling the vault, guarding hostages and carrying the loot while waves of police close in.
Each heist has random elements, so the plan changes every run.
It is older and has fewer heists than Payday 2, but it runs on modest PCs and is cheap.
Each player needs a copy.
