The first Payday 3 DLC, Syntax Error, is right around the corner, and the devs have revealed a bunch of juicy new details about what we can expect when it drops sometime this month. The new update will include a fresh set of weapons, a new enemy type, a brand-new skill line, and more.
All of these updates come from today’s Dev Update, which you can watch here:
Here’s the bullet points of everything that was announced in the video:
Payday 3 Syntax Error DLC Details:
- The Story Continues – Syntax Error picks up right where Touch the Sky left off. The gang’s found intel on some incredibly valuable drone operating software, and it’s being stored at a data center called ScryDigital. The team will have to dodge an advanced AI security network and make off with the software to find out who’s still hunting them.
- New Cosmetics – The Syntax Error DLC releases alongside a new Tailor Pack that contains four outfits, four gloves, and four masks. Additionally, a new handful of free cosmetics will be available to all heisters.
- New Weapons – A new weapon pack containing an SMG, a shotgun, and a marksman rifle will also release in this update. These guns aim to fill a void in the current lineup, allowing for a more diverse selection.
- New Enemy Type – The Techie is a new enemy that hides himself around the map and pilots drones to attack heisters. Players will have to seek him out and take him down to stop the constant barrage of technology. The Techie will initially only show up in Syntax Error heists, but Starbreeze promises to bring him to other heists in the near future.
- Scrambler Skill Line – The Scrambler Skill Line is a new set of abilities that will be available to all players. These skills are aimed at combating the new Techie, including one that allows heisters to hack the enemy drones for their own use.
Starbreeze also confirmed that players who do not own Syntax Error will still be able to join and play with friends who do own it. This is a nice touch that’ll keep friend groups on the same page even if they don’t all want to pick up the DLC.
