The Hackaton is a melee weapon available in PAYDAY 2. Previously a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch versions of PAYDAY 2, it was added alongside its owner on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER on August 13th, 2018. It is available to all players at reputation 20.
Overview[]
The Hackaton is a compact, collapsible baton that is similar to the Telescopic Baton. In comparison, it has noticeably increased attack speed in exchange for taking slightly longer to put away.
Tips[]
- Players deal more damage per second with this weapon by attacking as quickly as possible, rather than fully charging attacks.
- If a player wishes for more damage, it is recommended that they get Berserker, Pumping Iron and Bloodthirst Aced from the Brawler skill tree.
- If a player wishes for more knockdown, use Martial Arts Aced.
Trivia[]
- It is based on the ASP 21-inch expandable baton. The "click" sound of the baton extending can be heard when charging or performing a simple melee attack, though charging the attack also plays the sound of the weapon collapsing back in.
- Turning FOV to maximum reveals that the baton clips through the heister's clenched fist.
- The Hackaton is possibly a reference to the signature melee weapon of Aiden Pearce, the protagonist of Watch_Dogs. Like Joy, Aiden is also a hacker who uses a baton as a melee weapon.
