While PUBG: Battlegrounds historically remains the playground for fans of battle royale where surviving is already a social performance, Krafton decides to change the formula a little. With update 41.2, the game welcomes PAYDAYa new temporary PvE mode developed in collaboration with Starbreeze Entertainmentthe creators of the franchise PAYDAY.
Yes, the idea is exactly what you imagine: temporarily swapping the last circle for a good old organized heist.
A 4-player cooperative PvE mode in PUBG
With this crossover, PUBG momentarily abandons its DNA “100 players, a frying pan, and GL HF†to offer an experience more focused on cooperation.
In this mode PAYDAY, four players must infiltrate areas à haut risque recover valuable loot Then s’échapper before being overwhelmed by security forces. Stealth or total chaos: both approaches are possible, provided the squad knows roughly what they’re doing.
Five classes are offered:
-
Assault
-
Médecin
-
Tank
-
Sniper
-
Fantôme
Each has specific competenciesof gadgets dédiés and of capacités ultimes to facilitate robberies. The more players accumulate loot and successfully complete their missions, The more they unlock new skills and weapons.
The inspirational cards of PAYDAY 3
To push the crossover to the end, several iconic environments inspired by PAYDAY 3 are integrated into the mode, including: The Exchange, Diamond District, Nightclub et Road Rage.
The objective remains simple on paper: leave with money, gold or jewelry. In practice, as always in this type of operation, everything generally becomes complicated after three minutes.
Availability dates for PAYDAY mode in PUBG
Event mode will be available for a limited time:
Krafton accompanies this launch of a Pass événement PAYDAYwith several cosmetics inspired by the iconic gang of the license.
Update 41.2 also adds other new features
Beyond this unexpected but rather logical crossover (after all, shoot people and leave with lootit’s not exactly a philosophical shift), update 41.2 also adds new running animations with melee weapons, a new secret room on Miramar and the new Survivor Pass “Urban Animals”.
A crossover that probably won’t revolutionize PUBG in the long term, but which at least has the merit of offering something other than yet another vaguely premium skin at 30 balls.
Ready for the heist of the century!
