More then likely a way to just have random paintings on the wall with something made quickly. But funny that you could conjure up some lore reason for it that is plausible enough.
Can the self-proclaimed loremaster dissect the lore of Payday 3 when it doesn't involve aliens? I bloody well hope so! Thank you to those of you who entered the Apex PC's Giveaway. The competition is now closed and we have a winner! I've reached out to you in the comments if you won!
I think we can all agree it was a given that they were going to take things back to basics for a sequel, considering how far and how big Payday 2 went, but I am curious if I am alone in wanting to have seen a little more of what could have been done with where Payday 2's ending was originally going, even if only as a spin-off.
Sorry but how can you justify working with a Prebuild company, with an 103% markup, I just threw together the same exact spec pc on PC part picker as the most expensive version, and that came to $1348.80, the only PC i know of that is worth more than that is my PC which goes beyond that spec with a 5900x, a X570-e, a 6TB HDD, a 500GB M.2, a 1TB Sata SDD, a 360mm AIO, a 1000w power supply, a lot of RGB, Custom induvial sleeved cables, the Corsair 500D SE for the same, a 3080 v2 OC (priced at what it was when i got it new), a 64GBs of 3600. CUT the fucking contract, these lot are the PC builders linus and other content creators tell people to a avoid
Why doesn't the payday gang leak that they were the ones who rigged the election to get him into office? Or is going loud on day 2 of the election job canon
Funny how even tho I have gotten all achieves and watched all “cutscenes” I still watched and enjoyed every minute of this. It’s truly a testament to your skill to make something I know almost all about interesting and enjoyable thank you Kknowley
I love this new stand in circle gameplay! its crazy how cool the circle getting progressively more green is! Its just like a loading screen and my favorite part any game is loading screen
Right!? I'm so glad we got away from the horrible "stand around and wait for a thing to complete" gameplay from Payday 2! These new circles are exhilarating! Frankly if a Heist doesn't have them, I don't even bother to play them. There's just not enough excitement without that green on my screen!

I'm calling it now, Shade is the head of whatever group tried to assassinate the Payday gang, Mack is loyal to her, and the real reason she's helping them after secretly trying to kill them is because Bain somehow escaped her sights when she tried to off him. Whether or not she wants to find Bain because of his old ties with the Arch and his role as the Watcher... Well, why would she make it a point to try and prevent any connections between her and the Kitaru so early on? More importantly, HOW did she know of their existence in the first place? Bain kept all his knowledge of the Arch related things very close to his chest, and I'm pretty sure something along the lines of 'Nationally Wanted Bank Robbers Defeat Sinister Shadow Corporation From Achieving Immortality!' didn't make it on too many headlines.
As a PS5 player it sure would have been cool to be able to experience the story in any way. The fact it released and seemingly permanently is staying without any sound on cutscenes is truly incredible.
There's a cool way to get the full Mason speech on reach for the sky, you can take over one of the cameras overlooking his meeting from outside and then have a friend enter Masons apartment. He will wait to start his speech till the apartment is first entered and if you're watching on camera you can get the whole thing. EDIT: Interesting fact about Under the Surphaze that's not the subway exit that's the van exit, there's two subway entrances by the optional dumpster favor drop off point that can be used to exfil at any time after the required 4 paintings have been acquired and will remain useable until the assault starts.
Your video about lore in payday 2 helped me really understand it without me falling asleep, and i really enjoyed it, i can't wait for more to drop just to watch you're upload for it.
I've found myself waiting around for your videos more than for anyone else's. Your content is very well thought out, entertaining and overall great, keep up the great work!
I miss everything about PD2 in PD3. The soundtrack, the freedom of buying weapons. The freedom with the skill trees. Mission rewards buy choosing 1 out of 3 cards. The UI. The main menu's...
I wish that if you went loud on Touch The Sky, when Mason gets into his panic room he'd turn into a kind of mini boss by gearing up with all his stuff in there. Kind of like the Commissar from PD2
It's almost a guarantee that Starbreeze wont be adding wifi hacks in any future heists, given the player base's hatred for them. Love the little details of the gang also disliking this new way of breaking and entering. Great vid!
i do hope now that they have a bit more of a grounded foundation that they go for at least somewhat of the same mystique that 2 had, where details are more hidden away than just cutscenes and connections go all over
Watching pretty much most of your Payday story videos makes me realise that On The Road Vocals are basically an abridged version of the lore. They come storming with masks and guns and you can't stop them, only delay the inevitable
i dont care what the lore is, they HAVE to add most of the legacy heisters (in my mind, Bonnie, Clover, Dragan, etc) and the DLC heisters, potentially with new voicing (Wick, Jimmy, Rust). You will never make the community happy without bringing their favorite heisters back for the nostalgia.
What about Duke being Concord? We know he owns a museum in NYC (maybe a future heist) and that he was looking for Baldwin's lament too, but the gang used it themselves and destroyed it at the same time
Jiro being in the thumbnail is definitely a strange sight. It really makes you think about the lore. (I do kinda want some more heisters to return though.)
The sad thing about this game’s story is that with payday 2 I was following the story as I played the game, however this game all I will experience is this video.
I like that the clothes Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains arent as formal as before. Yes they are wearing semi formal clothes but its nowhere near as formal as they wore from 2. Like they returned from retirement and didn’t have the time to get their proper suits.
I wish jacket would come back in payday 3 as he was my favorite character, and that the sociopath would probably kill any assassins ballsy enough to attack him.
I find the story stupid because the payday gang is considered dead so how did these random no names know they still existed and wait 5 years to randomly strike

They fixed it a while back, I'm on PS5 and sound came back in the first game patch. 1.0.1 I believe.

Payday's lore is always amazing to listen to especially when you do it
Now this just makes me want to play the game to understand the lore more myself, I can't wait for more payday 3 story videos
So nice to finally get this video about the story, love the lore in pd2 so It's nice to get up to speed with this.
They can make as many electronic doors as they want, but you can't beat a classic drill and vault combo.
I wish that if you went loud on Touch The Sky, when Mason gets into his panic room he'd turn into a kind of mini boss by gearing up with all his stuff in there. Kind of like the Commissar from PD2
Or hector
Good to see Payday Lore again. It is always over the top but also grounded at the same time, and i do not know how
I really hope this game can get the engaging lore like Payday 2 did, bit of in-game stuff and outside as well
It's almost a guarantee that Starbreeze wont be adding wifi hacks in any future heists, given the player base's hatred for them. Love the little details of the gang also disliking this new way of breaking and entering. Great vid!
Been loving the payday lore videos lately keep it up bro
“With the older members of the crew bemoaning the simpler days of drills and saws.” - I love how you dunked on the Wi-Fi circles in your story LOL

Thank god I have a job I can wear headphones at, binging lore to get through the day is the only way
What about Duke being Concord? We know he owns a museum in NYC (maybe a future heist) and that he was looking for Baldwin's lament too, but the gang used it themselves and destroyed it at the same time
As much as the Lore seems transparent on the surface it it nice to see what others see between the lines.
I don't know anything of the lore of 3 so I'm glad you finally uploaded a vid!
As a MurkyWater PMC employee i can confirm that we are still out here
O no
I cant wait to see whats next when it comes to the payday franchise lore these videos are actually so sick to watch i love watching them while eating
Always love getting into the lore. Thanks for the opportunity on the giveaway!
I LOVE how so many people try to put Lore into their sentence so it still makes sense and isnt just the word ''lore''
Jiro being in the thumbnail is definitely a strange sight.
It really makes you think about the lore.
(I do kinda want some more heisters to return though.)
Can’t say I’ve played a crazy amount of payday, but the lore always kept me interested

Time to see how else Overkill tries to jam lore into their crazy crime shooter
spoiler:
why is no one talking about how sharke got hit by a car and that ralph shot himself?
I bet Ethan and Hila are the masterminds working in the shadows....Anyway keep up the great work!
Great job on the video! Here's to hoping the lore gets more exciting with the DLCs! 😅
I'm just smiling as I recognize payday 2 heists since I haven't been able to play payday 3 yet
I wonder if the lore of Payday 3 will be able top the madness that is Payday 2's lore and story. Can't wait to see where it goes.
Thank you lore man
we are so fucking back
I kinda like to think that the final conspirator is McKendrick.
(Future White House remake?)
Das what im saying
I love when the knownley covers Lore in games
When i first started playing payday, i was like "haha funny shoot shoot steal haha" i never thought the lore will be this complicated
Always enjoy seeing a new lore video from ya, or any video for that matter
Amazing stuff! Brought up quite a lot that I overlooked playing myself.
I like that the clothes Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains arent as formal as before. Yes they are wearing semi formal clothes but its nowhere near as formal as they wore from 2. Like they returned from retirement and didn’t have the time to get their proper suits.

Hey thank you for the video beeen waiting on this one. Can’t wait for the full update one day
A multiday heist would be cool,the lever action sniper rifle and the poison gas grenade launcher would be cool as well
I wish jacket would come back in payday 3 as he was my favorite character, and that the sociopath would probably kill any assassins ballsy enough to attack him.
