Heists[]

Customization options[]

Once you have bought the DLC, you will unlock 1 of each item type in your inventory and will now be able to obtain all of them via card drops.

"And now to the best present of them all - the mask pack! Chains loves this part. He gets to pick last everytime though. Poor Chains.

Gage has always been a patriot. What better way to salute this great nation than to celebrate four of the most popular presidents we've had?
"
—Announcement site quote.

  • The Armored Transport DLC masks are based on the faces of various United States Presidents. Their names refer to order in which the person of which they are a likeness served as President. It also pays a reference to the crime-thriller film Point Break where the 4 bank robbers infamously known as "The Ex-Presidents" don the masks of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Only the mask of Richard Nixon is in game.
  • These four masks are also refined versions of the Presidential masks from PAYDAY: The Heist.

Weapons[]

"When you got the crew and you got the target, there's one more thing you need. Guns. Loads of guns. Thankfully, Bain's got you covered. The latest shipment from Gage is something special. Some might argue they're only three normal guns, but they don't know nothing. These aren't your ordinary guns. These are the tools of the trade, the heisters choice. Let's see what we got."
—Announcement site quote.

Weapon Modifications[]

Achievements[]

"So, you've bought the DLC, downloaded it, started it up, and robbed some armored transports, having fun with your friends. But, something's missing. You need something else to get your fix. Something on a higher level. Well we got something for you right here, friend. Because for you, the achievements are the juice."
—Announcement site quote.

  • The teaser achievements are based on a quote from The Godfather Part III.
  • I Do What I Do Best, I Take Scores is a reference to the line "I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me" from the 1995 film Heat.
  • License to Kill, along with the Gruber Kurz pistol, are references to the James Bond film Licence to Kill. The number 378 refers to the number of people killed by Bond in all 24 movies that existed at the time of the DLC's release in 2013 (up to Quantum of Solace).
  • The Armored Transport DLC mask achievements reference subjects related to the United States Presidents. The unlocked masks are based on:
    • The achievement I'm Not a Crook! is a reference to a statement President Richard Nixon made regarding his involvement in the Watergate scandal. The number 69 refers to 1969, the year during which Nixon was inaugurated as President of the United States.
    • The achievement I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Bulldozer is a reference to a statement President Bill Clinton made attempting to dispel then-allegations of his having had an affair with a White House intern.
    • The achievement Fool Me Once, Shame on- Shame on You. Fool Me- You Can't Get Fooled Again is a reference to a flub of a popular saying President George W. Bush made during a 2002 speech. The number 95 refers to 1995, the year during which Bush started his tenure as Governor of Texas.
    • The achievement Affordable Healthcare is a reference to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often shorthanded to "Obamacare" due to President Barack Obama's involvement with the bill. The number 61 refers to 1961, the year Obama was born, and is probably a reference to the controversy surrounding his birthplace.
  • We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat is a reference to the line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" from the 1975 film Jaws.
  • But Wait - There's More! is a popular phrase in infomercials, commonly used by Billy Mays.
  • If You Liked It You Should Have Put a Ring on It are lyrics to Beyonce's song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".
  • Heat Around the Corner is a reference to the line "You wanna be making moves on the street, have no attachments. Allow nothing to be in your life that you cannot walk out on in thirty seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner" from the 1995 film Heat, as is the mask worn to complete the achievement.

Trivia[]

The armored transport robbery scene from Heat

  • The title card of the DLC is likely inspired by the opening armored transport robbery scene in the film Heat. Additionally, the achievement section quote references a quote by Micheal Cheritto. The Hockey Heat mask is also a reference to Heat.
  • All three weapons in this DLC have no reputation lock, all of them being unlocked at reputation level 0 and for very cheap.
