Payday 3 is in a strange spot going into 2025. While some core overhauls like Armor 2.0 and the skills system revamp are confirmed, we don't know much more about what is coming to the game in Year 2 besides the fast-approaching character pack. With a heavily reduced budget and dev team for this second year of Payday 3 content, is it worth being excited for what Payday 3 has in store in 2025? I asked you to share your thoughts, so let's get discussing...
