PAYDAY 3 will include two more playable characters at launch, the female gang members Pearl and Joy. They will join the original gang of clown-masked criminals (Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains) for a total of six heisters available when PAYDAY 3 launches on September 21st.
Pearl is an expert con artist and infiltrator who is as comfortable running street cons as she is rubbing elbows with the rich and famous if it brings home the prize. She leaves nothing to chance, and it’s a rare occasion when things don’t go her way. But if the situation calls for it, she’s no stranger to firearms. And make no mistake; she’s a vicious fighter.
Joy is a genius hacker and security expert. Merciless heister. Joy is a dangerous combination of both. She has a complete lack of respect for authority and a twisted sense of humour. But in a heist, she’s all aces.
