More On: Payday 2

The third anniversary of the Payday franchise is fast approaching, and to celebrate, Overkill is hosting an event from now until October 18th where the community can earn free in game items. 

How do you earn these items? Simple. All you have to do is join their official community on Steam. Once certain goals are hit, the team will release new items for free for players including new guns, characters, enemies, and even heists. Think of them as stretch goals from Kickstarter but you don't have to pay anything. 

The group, as of this writing, is up to 991,663 players and the community has unlocked the Brass Knuckles and the Golden AK. 

Here is a rundown of the rest of the rewards. 

  • 1,000,000 members - Judge Gun and Money Bundle Weapon
  • 1,050,000 members - Payday: The Heist. The original game, free during Crimefest. 
  • 1,100,000 members - Mask from Bain
  • 1,150,000 members - Old Hoxton Breakout Heist 
  • 1,200,000 members - Old Hoxton as a playable character
  • 1,250,000 members - The art gallery from Framing Frame as a single day Heist 
  • 1,300,000 members - FBI Files
  • 1,350,000 members - Gun from Gage
  • 1,400,000 members - New enemy type from GenSec
  • 1,450,000 members - The ability for heists to be played either during the day or night
  • 1,500,000 members - Secret reward 

So if you haven't joined the official Payday 2 community on Steam, be sure to do so soon! Even if you don't own the games, be a pal and help the community out!
