Examples of mask customization in PAYDAY 2.
In PAYDAY 2, players can customize masks to personalize their character. A custom mask consists of a color scheme, a pattern, and a material.
Masks in PAYDAY 2 are either randomly given by the 'pick a card' screen at the end of each heist or are unlocked and granted to the player for free for completing certain achievements, joining the community group, or reaching a new level of infamy. Card masks can only be used once, however granted masks can be re-used by sending the mask back to your inventory (you will lose any colors and non-achievement patterns and materials though). You will not be able to customize it any further once you have finalized it. Even if you leave any of the 3 slots empty, you won't be able to fill it later.
Each player is only given a specific amount of mask slots, but masks can be sold or returned to free up a mask slot. Additional slots can be bought for $800,000 (up to 72 slots).
- White items are dropped from cards, with some exceptions.
- Blue items are unlocked by default.
- Light Blue items are community items.
- Yellow items are from a DLC.
- Orange items are from a special event.
- Magenta items are "Infamous" (rare) items.
There are 6 tabs in the Mask purchase screen (default does not appear, but are the first slot in the inventory when selecting the mask tab); Community, Normal, DLC, Event, Collaboration, and Infamous.
Any masks not possessed will be shown greyed out, with the exception of the Event tab which does not appear if no Event masks are owned or no Event masks can be obtained by achievements, and will not display masks you do not own, except for achievement masks. DLC items from DLC you do not own will have a red cross with DLC through it, infamous items you need to unlock have a red cross with a card on them. Items locked by achievements will be greyed out like others without any cross displaying the requirement, even those in the Normal tab.
Introduced in Update #176 were masks with night-vision capabilties, putting a green filter over the screen and making it easier to see in dark areas, activated by holding down the firing mode key ([V] by default). The update introduced the night-vision capable PNV - BriteNite, and gave night-vision to the Cloaker-san and Batshit Crazy masks.
Default (Preferred Character)[]
Masks unlocked by default. They cannot be sold or unlocked via card drops. When you equip this mask, it changes depending on what character you are.

These shades belonged to a colleague of John's that he was hired to kill.
It started like any other night. Only this night, he got a contract to kill another contract killer who was making rounds that day. John knew he had five stops to make and was using the same taxi cab between all of them.
In the end, he didn't even need to do the deed himself - he was already dead when he found him.

The Hoxton Reborn mask is a mask that Hoxton made while in prison. For him, it's a symbol of everything he experienced in the past years while the PAYDAY gang kept on going without him. No one knows how his experiences in prison has changed him, and he won't talk about it when asked.
All we can assume is that he has been changed forever, and that he is reborn into... Something different.

Clover's mask represents what Clover both fears and hates most of all - wearing a mask as your normal face. The surgically-shrunken nose, the botox'd lips and the expression of all-consuming vanity and self-obsession - all are symbols of fear and weakness, twisted into a horrifying parody.

The skull is Death, Sangres' faithful companion throughout his career. The gold tooth is the coin that has been paid. The kill counter represents his past as a hitman, the blood-red ruby the new wealth he's seeking in the US. Sangres' name spreaks of the many bloody episodes in his life, and that red blood is also present on his mask.

Duke is a man of culture, virtue and stone-hard composure. Thus his mask has been modeled of of the(sic)great historical statues as a reflection of his personality. The mask is a window into the mind and heart of this determined agent of sophisticated crime, elegant and unbreakable in the face of any heist.
A big draw for Duke is his love for mystery- you never really know what's inside the safe until you open it, or behind the painting until you take it out of the frame. And with the Payday gang, the biggest mystery may be just around the corner...
- The Collateral glasses are a reference to the 2004 film of the same name, the mask resembling the glasses worn by Max Durocher throughout the movie, and the description referencing Vincent's mode of transportation to his hits.
- Duke's mask is based on the statue of David by Michelangelo, only wider and altered into a mild scowl.

This pilotka was found on a corpse near Lake Müritz in Germany. It was attached with a string around the poor, dead soldier's head. There were no other bodies next to unnamed fellow,(sic) and as the origin of the pilotka was russian,(sic) it's fair to assume that he stemmed from the same country. Speculations were many, none were true, but the most inspiring story was the one about a soldier so proud of the motherland that he tied a pilotka to his head before he died.

The mask worn by McCauley in Heat. This was likely the inspiration for the Hockey Heat mask. Unsurprising, seeing how Overkill Software seems to enjoy paying homages to this film.

For millions of years it waited.
It used to be many things, countless tiny organisms dead and burried. Crusehed by time, cooked by the planet's heat, they boiled into a singular black mass. A churning liquid with no knowledge of its value. A nameless thing. A waiting thing.
The millenia passed like minutes, until the age of waiting came to and end. A deafening whir brought the nameless thing rocketing from the Earth's dark womb. Up from the ground, up through a tower of metal, exploding towards the Texas sun like a volcano. It arrived to zealous applause, tears of joy and avarice, and it rained down onto its admirers, a leering face gave it a name:

Paycheck Chains longs to be completely bonkers. But truth be told, behind that mask he's just a regular guy trying to make an indecent living. When trying to push his normal self into craziness, he took a poodle hostage during a robbery when a police(sic) showed up. What crazy person would do that, right? But he picked the wrong vicious mongrel to mess with. The dog ended up biting everyone in the crew before they managed to escape the beast.

So trendy in fact, that the FBI will appreciate your fondness for their own green uniformed team. Not that it won't stop them firing on you openly anyway!
- Navy Beanie: Dark, deep, and classy color that isn't quite as edgy as black would be. This fetching number will make you the talk of the town. Things like "SEND IN THE TAZERS!", "THIS IS THE POLICE, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!", or "DOUBLE TAP TRIPLE TAP!"
- Red Beanie: This one is either soaked in the blood of your enemies, or was just made with some red woolen material. Honestly it doesn't matter, it is just end up covered in blood with all that cop murder you've been known to dish out. Just wash it after the heist, alright?
- The April 2018 masks may be references to Borderlands, as they use a similar outlined and colorful art style as well as using the same name-title format as the Borderlands player characters.

One of the bravest men I saw in the African campaign was on a telegraph pole in the midst of furious fire while we were moving toward Tunis. I stopped and asked him what the hell he was doing up there. He answered, 'Fixing the wire, sir.' 'Isn't it a little unhealthy up there right now?' I asked. 'Yes sir, but this goddamn wire has got to be fixed.' I asked, 'Don't those planes strafing the road bother you?' And he answered, 'No sir, but you sure as hell do.'

- The masks included in the Gage Historical Pack are references to several key figures in the second World War.
- The Old Blood and Guts mask is a reference to the United States Army General George S. Patton, best known for his colorful, often flashy personal image and hard-driving leadership style that contributed to his success as a commander and victories in the European Theater. The mask's scowl depicts Patton's own "war face", a stern expression he cultivated throughout his career as part of his distinctive personal image.
- The Constable mask is a reference to the French political leader Charles de Gaulle. Like mentioned in the mask's description, de Gaulle was the leader of France for much of the period between 1940 and 1969, has set up his base in London, proclaimed himself the incarnation of France, and created the Free French movement.
- The British Bulldog mask is a reference to the English prime minister Winston Churchill. As referenced in the description of the mask, Churchill was a prominent political figure during the time, is a Nobel prize winner, owner of many medals and the first honorary citizen of the United States of America.
- The term "British Bulldog" is also a nickname of Churchill, following the "animal names" tradition of his family with him being a Bulldog.

Alfred the Carnotaurus was a very fast dinosaur when he was alive and kicking. His distinctive horns and his muscular neck made him stand out next to all the other dinosaurs.

- The masks included in The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack are named after the respective dinosaurs on which they were based, with the sole exception of the Alfred mask which depicts a Carnotaurus.
- This likely hints at it being originally based on an Allosaurus before being changed to its current state. Coincidentally, the real-life Allosaurus also has bony horn-like ridges on the sides of its skull, though not as pronounced as those of the Carnotaurus.
- The dinosaur associated with the Vincent mask is identified as a Velociraptor. This is factually incorrect as it is more structurally consistent with the closely-related Deinonychus genus of dinosaurs. The cause of this mistake possibly stemmed from the widespread moniker of said dinosaurs made popular after the release of the Jurassic Park series of movies and books. Like in the movies and books, the developers probably weren't aware of the relatively recent genus name change as the proper scientific term was only coined after the release of the third film in the series; Deinonychii were dubbed Velociraptor antirrhopus before the new name caught on.
- Like in the movies, Vincent the "Velociraptor" is depicted as being featherless and has scaly skin as opposed to the bird-like feathers on real Velociraptors and Deinonychii.
- Also incorrect is the depiction of this dinosaur's predation of the Protoceratops. While true Velociraptors indeed preyed on said herbivores, the Deinonychus after which the mask was modeled did not exist within the same period. The Deinonychus existed during the early Cretaceous period, while both of the aforementioned species came about much later (Upper Cretaceous).
- Like in the movies, Vincent the "Velociraptor" is depicted as being featherless and has scaly skin as opposed to the bird-like feathers on real Velociraptors and Deinonychii.
- The descriptions of the masks on the website are separate from those in-game. The website descriptions are also attributed to Chains.
- Alfred: “You all know the T-Rex, right? The big motherfucker that could eat cars. Well, this dude is like that, except, give him fucking horns. They found this guys bones in South America. The lab report came back, and it tested positive for bad assery. The horns, man. Looks like a dinosaur Sith Lord.”
- Pachy: “Now the Pachycephalosaurus is a personal favourite, and with good reason. I mean, look at that fucking bonehead. I’d pay all my money from the next hundred jobs to have the skull of this fresh motherfucker in my house.”
- Timothy: “The triceratops ia one bad-assed motherfucker. Look at those horns, man. That’s where it gets it’s name from. It’s Greek for three, that’s the tri, cera, which means horn, and ops, which is face. Three Horn Face. How cool is that? Anyway, this guy will fuck you up.”
- Vincent: “Now, the velociraptor. You’ll remember these guys from that movie. What was it called? I can’t remember, but it should have been called “Bunch A Motherfucking Dumb Ass Rich Kids Sit Around Eating Ice Cream Which Is Just Fattening Their Asses For The Baddest Beasts In The Jungle The Motherfucking Raptors.””

Somehow bending the laws of physics, the special unit of the WPD nicknamed the "Cloaker" is the bane of every bad guy trying to prove they can do things on their own. The first Cloaker is rumored to just have been a regular SWAT officer who nobody wanted to team up with. Might be because he was a fucked up killing machine with kung fu-kicks and bullets flying everywhere around him. He used excessive force almost always and left any combat tactic behind together with his unit. But he produced results, so the brass kept him on and made him train like minded individuals.

Also good for that strange masquerade ball that occasionally comes around.

- The Heat glasses are named after the 1995 film that the PAYDAY series takes much inspiration from, Heat. The glasses resemble those worn by McCauley in the shootout following his crew's bank robbery.
- The Plague Doctor mask is a reference to the real-world plague doctors who donned the same mask and are often employed in times of massive disease outbreaks in medieval Europe. It may also be a reference to MAD Magazine's "Spy vs Spy" main characters, namely the White Spy and the Black Spy.
- The Bhagavad Gita (The song of the Bhagavan), a famous Hindu epic text, was mentioned in its description.
- The Butcher mask's description references the Pink Panthers, a name given by the Interpol to the real life Slavic international jewel thief network.
- The Android mask's description is a joke about C-3PO, the protocol droid in the Star Wars series, as he claims to speak 6 million languages fluently. Its appearance and design, meanwhile, are a reference to Daft Punk.
- The Demonshank mask is a reference to Sauron from The Lord of the Rings franchise.
- The Heister Sentry looks very similar to the Power Rangers helmet, which is also helped by the description, which talks about a full body spandex suit.
- The Kamul mask is a reference to Khamul, a Ringwraith from The Lord of the Rings franchise, further supported by the fact that the mask is unlocked alongside the Evil Eye pattern, the appearance of which is similar to the main antagonist, Sauron, from the same franchise.
- The Lurker mask appears to be somewhat based on a Xenomorph Queen from the Alien franchise, as evident by the shape of the head crest. As well as this, the description also makes references about lurking in shadows, a trait commonly seen in Xenomorphs in the films.
- The Being mask is based both in description and appearance to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the 2004 movie Van Helsing. "A Modern Prometheus" was the alternate title to the Frankenstein novel and the appearance of the mask is similar to that of the creations of Dr. Frankenstein known as the Dwergi, which also served as Dracula's henchmen in the film. Their fondness for wheat likely is a reference to Frankenstein's Monster being burned alive in a grain mill in numerous film adaptations.
- The Venger mask and description are a direct parody/tribute to the character of Bane from the Batman series. The aspect of the League of Darkness relates to the The Dark Knight Rises version of the character, while the aspect of the mask being used to inject the user with a serum that granted them super strength relates to the comic/television version of Bane. The name "Nemesis", mentioned in its description, is a clear parody of "Bane".

That loaf of bread you wanted. Imagine that hunger one thousandfold. More than just a lack of food, your very soul is deprived of sustenance until it's as empty on nourishment as your belly.
