The crew is back for another job. The latest update for PAYDAY 3 arrives today, headlined by the brand-new Party Powder Heist, a tense new job set inside a crumbling mob warehouse.
The Palatucci crime family is making a bold move, hijacking a major drug shipment using a team of corrupt cops and a staged bust. But triad boss Shayu has other plans and hires the PAYDAY gang to flip the deal and take back the product.
The result is a high-stakes, open-ended mission with multiple approaches and dynamic AI behaviour. Whether you choose stealth or chaos, Party Powder rewards smart planning and offers strong replay value. For players looking to raise the stakes, there’s also an optional side objective — fire up the lab and cook your own meth for an even bigger payout.
A Major Update with Free Features
The Party Powder DLC arrives alongside a substantial free update that introduces the long-awaited Armor 2.0 system, giving players more flexibility over how they build and survive.
For those who missed the patch notes, here’s what’s included:
Paid Heist – Party Powder
- New warehouse map with stealth and loud paths
- Meth lab side objective for extra risk and reward
- €4.99 DLC available now
Free Update
- Armor 2.0: Customisable armor chunks that support more playstyles

PAYDAY 3 Continues to Expand
Party Powder marks the 17th total heist added to PAYDAY 3 since launch. That count includes core missions, side hustles, and four chapters from The Bad Apple DLC campaign. Each addition deepens the urban criminal sandbox that defines the game, with today’s update continuing the trend of meaningful new content.
Whether you’re returning to the game or deep into your criminal career, this update adds more flexibility, more tools, and more opportunities to cash out — or get caught.
