| Introduction to PAYDAY {0003} |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYDAY: The Heist is a four-player co-operative shooter released by OVERKILL
Software (Now a part of Sony Online Entertainment), which revolves around
A crew of four robbers attempting to make it big. The game contains Eight
Heists, six of which were available at launch, one being added in an
Update, and two being added in a DLC pack. PAYDAY allows players to increase
Their 'reputation' by collecting money or completing objectives, which in
turn grant players a series of upgrades, split into four 'trees', Assault,
Sharpshooter, Support, and Technician (added through DLC).

|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
| Version differences {0004} |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYDAY has been released on two different platforms, PC and PS3. This guide
covers the PC version, however much of it is transferable. The most
noteworthy difference is the control scheme, as PS3 uses a controller. Other
differences include:

Lack of No Mercy heist in PS3 edition
Lack of Locard, Troll, Santa, Halloween, End of the world, Mod crew, Overkill,
Vyse's and Alienware masks.
Lack of OVERDRILL

Due to these differences, the PC edition of PAYDAY is the definite one, however
the PS3 edition is very much playable to completion. This guide covers the PC
edition, use common sense to determine what does and does not apply to your
version of PAYDAY.
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
| The Crew {0005} |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are four playable members of the PAYDAY crew:

Dallas: An American hitman who had worked for a Chicago mob from his childhood.
Having been forced into hiding after crossing the mob, he discovered a hidden gun
range underground and performed hits on drug dealers, attempting to damage the
drug trafficking industry. Deciding he had had enough of hiding, Dallas stole
a gun shipment and formed the crew.

Hoxton: Hoxton has been boxing from a young age, but never officialy. He never
had many jobs, always claiming they should pay better. Having started his
life of crime at twenty-four with a robbery, he spent his time after that
robbing people, amassing a large debt along the way. Often he would help
loansharks to have some of his debt written off.

Wolf: A Swedish man, he was in charge of a large software development company.
However, he caught the short end of the stick when bad economic times led to
his clients all pulling out. Wolf eventually snapped and started acting several
films, leading to his life of crime starting.

Chains: A former Navy SEAL, Chains, whilst a good soldier, was dismissed for being
too eager to fire and refusing to follow the chain of command. Chains then went on
to become a mercenary, working for the highest bidder, enjoying testing his limits
even further.

As well as the four playable members, other members of the crew assist during missions:

Bain: A shadowy figure whose face is yet to be seen, not much is known about him. He
provides the crew with consistent tactical support and surveillance throughout their
missions.

Alex: A good helicopter pilot, Alex is in charge of assisting the crew directly through
means of assisting their getaways or extracting a vital target. Despite his skill at
being a pilot, Alex is very prone to mistakes, often dropping important items very
short of their mark. Bain insists that despite his failings, Alex is an important
and vital part of the team.

| WolfPack DLC {0007} |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Costing £7.99, the WolfPack DLC provides several new pieces of content to
PAYDAY. These are:

New Skill Tree: Technician
New Reputation Cap: 193
Ability to host new heists: Counterfeit, Undercover (People lacking the DLC can
join, but not host or play singleplayer, these heists.)

Whilst this may not seem to be a large amount of content, the new skill tree
affords a new powerful tool; the sentry gun. An increased reputation cap also
allows players to have new goals within the game; the new heists both provide
new challenges; Counterfeit allows the player to progress through the heist
without being detected so long as they manage to control civilians and prevent
gunfire, Undercover allows players to find planks in the enviroment and use them
to protect themselves from the oncoming police. This, in my opinion is giving you
a lot of bang for your buck.

As you play PAYDAY, you will accumulate cash. This is automatically converted
into reputation as you reach certain levels of it. Rep levels higher than 145
require Wolfpack in order to be obtained without cheats. The amount of required
total cash is listed below (Chart credit of PAYDAY wiki.):

to move on.

| Weapons, Deployables, Bonuses {0009} |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In PAYDAY, you can carry three weapons, a deployable, a bonus, and a crew bonus.
You may carry one pistol, one primary, and one secondary.

Weapons:

Primaries:

AMCAR: A reliable rifle, this is what you start with. It's an all-rounder, with
Ok damage, accuracy, and clipsize, with it having upgrades spread across all
trees. However, on higher difficulties it starts to become less of a good choice.

Brenner: My personal choice, and the weapon of the assualt tree. It boasts good
power, large clipsize, and fairly good accuracy once upgraded, becoming weaker
at longer ranges however. It carries the downside of a long reload, and has
a high rate of fire.

Reinbeck: The most powerful primary availible to you. Despite being a shotgun, it
has a medium effective range. Its damage is offset by the low rate of fire, low
clip size and fairly long reload. A solid choice for maps where most combat is done
in close-quarters

M308-A combat rifle. Good for when you need to make that one shot that must hit. It
has good damage, and boasts the most accuracy out of any primary. It falls in having
a slow firing speed, and a clipsize which could be larger. A solid choice for multiplayer,
as you won't be great in close quarters without buddies to back you up.

AK- The most used weaponry of today's combat, the AK is a good choice for want versitility.
It has high damage, though not quite comparable of that to the reinbeck. It's main drawing
point is the high rate of fire. It falls down in accuracy, though. (only attainable through
WolfPack)

Secondarys:

Mark-11: By default this will be the first secondary you unlock. It's a small smg, with a
high fire rate. One of it's main points is being one of the two silenced weapons in the game.
It falls down on accuracy and effective range. A good choice when you just want to close
your eyes, fire, and pray.

Compact-5: More or less the complete opposite of the Mark-11, the Compact is an SMG with
good accuracy, but not an amazing level of damage. It's a good choice when you just need
something reliable to back up a primary.

Locomotive: A miniature shotgun. It isn't a very good choice, as it has low accuracy
and range, it's damage is high, but still requires several shots to take down a heavy
SWAT, and the clipsize is negligable.

GL40: The only explosive weapon availible to the team, it is a good choice for when
you will be in packed corridoors. It boasts high damage, but with low clipsize and
a long reload. To compensate for this? A huge blast radius. Be careful, though;
It's easier than you think to hit yourself. (only attainable through WolfPack)

Sidearms:

B9-S: The first pistol, you start with it. It has the highest accuracy out of
all the pistols, however it has the lowest damage. It's got an advantage in
that it is silenced, allowing the user to use it on stealth heists. A solid
choice on lower difficulties, though the low damage becomes a serious
concern on higher ones.

Crosskill .45: A all-rounder. It has the second-best accuracy, and the
second-best clipsize, and the second-best damage. See what I'm
getting at here? A solid choice on most difficulties.

Bronco .44: A powerhouse. It's got the best damage of all the pistols, and
can tear through most targets in a few shots. It has the issue of a
small clipsize and poor accuracy. A good choice on higher difficulties,
though the low clipsize makes it unneeded on lower ones.

Stryk: The Mark-11 of pistols. It is fully automatic, and has the highest
clip size of all pistols. Doesn't have great damage, but the amount of
bullets you put in a target at once makes up for it. An alright choice
up to Hard, until the terrible accuracy comes into play.

[IndigoHammer]

Bronco, least accurate? lol
I've never noticed and I went from Bronco to .45 to Bronco, in fact I noticed i could consistently hit head-shots at lengths I could also be using my rifle, with the bronco.

[GroeneFernandes]

This guide has helped me and many others with absolutely nothing. But I appreciate the effort.
