It is now Day 6 of the Payday 2 Crimefest and today, Overkill announced that the drills, which were the crux of their new microtransactions system, could be earned in-game, effectively making the weapon skins free. Players will now have a chance to earn one by completing a heist successfully as the drills have been added to the card pool.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."

Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.

Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
