17:00 CEST 26 MAY 2025: The PAYDAY gang is back in action with Party Powder, a high-stakes open-ended new paid heist for 4.99 euro coming to PAYDAY 3 today https://youtu.be/oCZLqubxN7g
The Palatucci crime family is making a move into Golden Dagger territory, hijacking a massive drug shipment through crooked cops staging a phony bust. But their power play is about to turn sour — triad boss Shayu has hired the PAYDAY gang to flip the table on these opportunists.
Set in a crumbling mob warehouse in New York City’s criminal underbelly, Party Powder offers players the choice to go in stealth or loud. The heist focuses heavily on strategy and replayability, rewarding careful planning — or pure chaos
For players looking to raise the stakes, there's an extra option: fire up the lab and cook your own product (meth). It's a bold move with even bigger payouts, but only the toughest will survive the heat.
