A pattern is an item for customizing masks in PAYDAY 2. Patterns without cost will be returned to your stash upon selling or storing the mask they've been used on. A pattern that is not part of a promotional bonus or achievement can only be obtained from card drops.

How colour is applied to the pattern:

  • Dark gray is the primary color.
  • Light gray is the secondary color.
  • White parts are white, or if you chose a material, it will be that material.
  • Blue parts are transparent and therefore display what the unaltered mask looks like in those areas.

How patterns are divided in this wiki:

  • Blue items are unlocked by default.
  • White items are unlocked through card drops and are considered normal
  • Yellow items are from a DLC.
  • Orange items are from a special event.
  • Fuchsia items are "Infamous" (rare) items.


Below is a list of all patterns, however this wiki page needs updating as it is missing some.
