Here’s everyone you can play as in Payday 3

Fans might be happy to know that there are six playable characters in the game at launch.Ā They include:

  • Chains
  • Dallas
  • Hoxton
  • Joy
  • Pearl
  • Wolf

Four of them make up the core returning cast from prior entries in the series. Joy and Pearl are two new additions to the gang, who will be robbing the banks of New York alongside the four veterans.

Joy is a returning character fromĀ Payday 2 whoĀ hates authority figures and can hack security devices easily with her skills. She also has a “twisted sense of humor,” according to Plaion’s tweet about the character.

Meanwhile, Pearl is a con artist and infiltrator who “is as comfortable running street cons as she is rubbing elbows with New York’s rich and famous.” She’ll likely help the Payday 3Ā crew get into high places they otherwise couldn’t.

Will there be DLC characters in Payday 3?

There is currently no word on DLC characters inĀ Payday 3.Ā However, if the game does well, it’s easy to think more characters could be on the way. As of the time of writing, there are only six playable characters, but there are a few season passes and special editions to consider with your purchase of the game.
