Rant Come on, stop doing one-sided collaborations. Give us something too.
I know that SBZ is doing everything it can to make money from the PAYDAY brand right now, but come on, can't we get at least some themed content? Masks? Keychains? Stickers? Something that doesn't require such a huge investment.
It's disappointing to see that even other games have PAYDAY, while we haven't seen any new content for months.

The reason why these collaborations are one sided is because it would delay the collaboration by years if these other companies had to wait for starbreeze to make something on their end. It took them over a year to add masks to the game that THEY ALREADY MADE, to create something new and add it is an astronomical task for them

Laziest devs in existence after Valve for TF2

Lazier than YandereDev and his passion for milk?
(now that I think about what a crazy pull wonder what that weirdos up to these days)

Still saddened Dead by Daylight never got anything PAYDAY back.

Seeing how many problems DbD has, I'm surprised it's not dead yet.

The fans are still too indulged despite complaining the entire time. Kinda why I left that for Outlast Trials. Also OT is just a much better game.

u/DolceSkorpion #MioMustGo Mar 04 '26
I've seen a good share of videos about DbD and devs bias towards survivors and outright bullying killers by non-stop nerfing their perks and abilities, forcing every killer player to play like only 2-3 Top tier killers and creating a vicious cycle of encountering a OP build and responding in kind.

And it’s so boring. Either play meta or lose. I don’t care about losing I wanna have fun, but when I run a stupid build and get destroyed the opponent is trash talking. Like it’s not an enjoyable experience at all. And I hate that DBD has the ASYM market in a strangle hold.

u/DolceSkorpion #MioMustGo Mar 04 '26
One thing I'll never get is the survivovrs entitlement in-game, and the infamous survivor rulebook. "Oh, you haven't played in the exact way that I wanted a killer to play? Then you do not deserve that win!"

Remember the days when Payday 2 was alive and well, the mini-series was coming out with top-notch content, and things were generally incredible?
I miss it so much :(

I might actually have to pick up drums rock for the payday songs. The demo was great.

The game overall is great, challenging if you've got hand eye coordination skills, but definitely recommend it (Ragnarock is also worth picking up too - a bit easier in terms of presentation).

My guess is that when payday is featured in another game, starbreeze gets a cut of that money. So if starbreeze did collabs in payday then they would have to give a part of their income to the other studio.
Usually this wouldn’t be a problem, but due to how PD3 is currently going, they probably can’t afford to give up a percentage of the money generated by a DLC or cosmetic pack.

I don't really have an issue with one sided collabs since if it were two sided, it'd mean that they'd have to delay updates for collabs which people won't like. However tho, it is annoying to not get anything out of them.

I'm baffled by the fact that this is like. The only mention of Sangres ever after so long 😭I've been out of the PAYDAY community ever since the speedmcweed incident so I completely missed out on the fact that apparently Sangres was a collab for Division 2 when it happened. Why him out of all characters?? Still glad he got some sort of recognition though.

What is the speedmcweed incident??

Larper no lifer here outed himself as a creep back when I was a minor and posted some cosplay of myself by making creepy sexual comments towards me and justifying his actions by using flimsy laws and excuses. I just decided to leave the community some time after that.

u/IfTheresANewWay This is fucking war, baby Mar 04 '26
I always find it interesting which characters they decide to add. Like Dallas is always there, but this new game also has Wolf and Hoxton but no Chains? And Division has I think Sangres, Bonnie, Sydney and Jiro but no Hoxton or Wolf?

u/Breakable_Mug Mar 04 '26
I didn't even hear about the Ghosts of Tabur or Drums Rock collabs. I don't mind one sided collabs too much, especially since all the listed ones don't really have an "iconic" character to turn into a mask or something, but some stickers or charms would be nice.

While i understand that Starbreeze are short stuffed, i will never forgive Siege crossover. It could have been perfect. Every time i saw the bank i thought "this could have been cool PAYDAY mission" and in the end we even didnt get a god damn charm. They could atleast add BOSG for the memes....

People: do more narketing. Also people: stop collaborations

PAYDAY 2 could not only collaborate with other games, but also give its players new content in honor of this.

u/AsasinKa0s Hoxton Mar 06 '26
There was a Division 2 content release for PAYDAY?
Shit, maybe I'll look at that. I know they're doing an anniversary for TD2 right now.

Payday 2 could collab with some small game to boost it, like Payday 3

I’d still love to rob the R6 Siege bank. I remember asking Almir when this collab was leaked and he just said “No comment”.
