When you've got the gold, there's always a question of what to do with it. Put it in a vault, change it into cash or use it to make yourself look rather bad-ass. There are, of course, lots of ways to do the latter. Someone decided that one of them was by forging this gleaming visage. Good choice? Your decision.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons may not be a match for a good submachine gun, or a getaway van that never breaks down, but a mask like this, intricately crafted by an artisan using techniques handed down through generations, can certainly make you feel like a million bucks when you're putting down a Dozer. 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".
