Payday 2 updated with new weapons, masks, achievements and more

Beard mask

Tis the season to be holding people hostage and robbing banks! In day-to-day life that isn't very acceptable, but in Payday 2 it works just fine.

Payday 2 recieved a nice update on Steam to compliment the 'White Xtmas' annual heist that's going on, but the update didn't come alone. It came with an invitation to a challenge against the developers.

First off, the update. It's added the White Xmas heist, the Chicago Typewriter Submachine Gun (along with mods), four new masks, a beard mask, seven achievements (listed below), preplanning for bank jobs, and the ability to Vote kicking/restarts from the open beta.

Here are the achievements:

  • Vlad’s Little Helpers: Complete the White Xmas job on the Normal difficulty. Unlocks the “Mrs. Claus” mask.
  • Stealing Christmas: Complete the White Xmas job on the Hard difficulty. Unlocks the “Strinch” mask.
  • Cancelling Santa’s Christmas: Complete the White Xmas job on the Very Hard difficulty. Unlocks the “Krampus” mask.
  • Claustrophobia: Complete the White Xmas job on the OVERKILL difficulty. Unlocks the “Mechanical Santa” mask.
  • Like Turkeys Voting for an Early Christmas: Complete the White Xmas job on the Death Wish difficulty.
  • Riders On the Snowstorm: In the White Xmas job, complete the heist on the Death Wish difficulty while each crew member wear a different “2014 Xmas” mask each. Unlocks the “Almir’s Beard” mask.
  • Impossible, It Can’t Be. Is it?: Secure the rare Almir’s Toast.
Now for the challenge… The developers want you do beat their score or even match them. All you have to do is record yourself securing 53 bags (or more) on Overkill difficulty in the White Xmas event. Tweet them the video link on YouTube before the end of the year and you're in the running.
