Why are People So Hyped Up for Buying PAYDAY 3?
Before we begin, though, let’s talk about some of the things that come with buying PAYDAY 3. This means preorder bonuses, special edition content, and of course, what you’re gonna find in the base game itself.
PAYDAY 3 has a lot of high expectations riding on it because the fanbase is really passionate about the series. In fact, we’re so hyped for this game, that we’ve even got tips about getting good at PAYDAY 3.
How Many Versions Of PAYDAY 3 Are There To Buy?
Right, so there are about three versions of PAYDAY 3 digitally that you can buy. After briefly but comprehensively covering them, we’ll show you how to purchase the PAYDAY 3 on your home console or PC. Alright, let’s break down each one.
Standard Edition
First off, we’ve got the base game itself, and that’s it. There’s nothing else remarkable about it aside from the pre-order bonus. If you booked your order before launch, you’ll get the Trifecta loot bag. For everything else, you gotta buy in piecemeal or pay for the season pass to get it all as it comes out.
The physical version equivalent of the Standard Edition is the Day One Edition. It’s got the same stuff, basically.
Silver Edition
Alright, now we’re talking. If you buy the Silver Edition of PAYDAY 3, then in addition to the Trifecta loot bag, you also get the awesome-looking Dark Sterling Mask. Also, you’re getting the game 3 days early, plus! You also have 6 months’ worth of season pass content. This will mostly include new weapons, cosmetics, and 2 new heist missions. Not a bad deal at all, we’d say.
Gold Edition
Finally, we have the premium version, which is the Gold Edition of PAYDAY 3, that you can buy. You’ll get all the benefits of the Silver Edition, plus a whole year’s worth of season pass content and even more weapon and tailor packs. It’s great value for money.
The Gold Edition’s physical version is the Collector’s Edition of PAYDAY 3. It’s got all of the same stuff.
