PAYDAY 2 โ co-op heists you'll sink years into
PAYDAY 2 is a co-op first-person shooter about a crew of masked robbers. You and up to three teammates hit banks, jewelry stores, warehouses and casinos: some jobs let you slip past the cameras quietly, others turn into a firefight against endless waves of police and SWAT. The game launched in August 2013, built by Overkill Software and published by 505 Games โ and over years of support PAYDAY 2 grew from a punchy shooter into a massive sandbox packed with dozens of heists and tons of content.
Here you're buying the full base PAYDAY 2 game, which we deliver as a Steam gift. It lands in your Steam library for good โ your own copy, not a rental or shared access.
What's inside: the crew, masks and Crime.net
The heart of PAYDAY 2 is Crime.net, the city map where you pick contracts. The riskier the heist, the bigger the payout. The base game brings the classic crew โ Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains โ and access to dozens of heists, from quick jewelry-store grabs to multi-day operations with casing, drilling safes and hauling the loot out.
- 4-player co-op. PAYDAY 2 is built to play with friends: roles, split tasks, covering each other, and that rush when the plan falls apart and you have to improvise.
- Stealth or assault. Many heists can be done silently โ disable cameras, take out guards, leave unseen. Or strap on heavy armor and go loud.
- Deep progression. Skill trees, perk decks, weapon and mask customization โ you gradually build your perfect robber.
- Tons of weapons and masks. Guns, mods, throwables and hundreds of masks with unique patterns and colors for every look.
What this product includes โ and what it doesn't
This is the base game โ enough to play co-op and run the starter set of heists. Over the years PAYDAY 2 has released a huge amount of paid DLC with new heists, weapon packs and characters โ those are not included in this copy, but you can buy them separately on Steam whenever you want to expand your arsenal and to-do list.
How we deliver the gift
Delivery goes through a Steam bot. You fill in two fields: your friend invite link and your account region. After that it's automatic:
- The bot adds itself to your friends via the invite link โ you don't need to confirm or accept anything.
- The bot sends the gift. This usually takes a couple of minutes after your order.
- You accept the gift in Steam โ PAYDAY 2 appears in your library.
- After delivery the bot automatically removes itself from your friends.
Steam Guard is not required โ the gift can be accepted on an account without it. The key thing is that your profile must allow adding friends, otherwise the bot can't reach you.
Region and the library condition
The gift is available across 47 regions. Steam's key rule: your account region must match the gift region โ otherwise the system simply won't let you accept it. So enter your region at checkout and we'll match the right option. The second important condition: the recipient account must not already own PAYDAY 2 โ you can't receive a game as a gift if it's already in the library. Buying for a friend? Use their details and their account.
Is PAYDAY 2 worth it in 2026
PAYDAY 2 has long been a co-op shooter classic โ a living community, regular DLC sales, and a reputation for being easy to lose hundreds of hours in with friends. It's great to fire up as a group: get four people together, pick a contract on Crime.net, agree on roles โ and off you go. Even years after release, both newcomers and veterans who remember the first jobs back in 2013 still drop in. If the bold-heist vibe clicks, check out the sequel PAYDAY 3 and the series' origin PAYDAY: The Heist. And if you want more co-op against a horde, take a look at Left 4 Dead 2.
The short version
The full base PAYDAY 2 as a Steam gift, into your library forever. Four-player co-op, dozens of heists, deep progression. Bot delivery usually within a couple of minutes, no Steam Guard needed. Just match the region and make sure the game isn't already on the account.
