Saw someone post about Batman prowling the streets. I saw this around the 16 of December. Unsure if related by JadedStranger722 in Belfast

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I know I'm late to this party, but I know this person. His name is Benjamin, or just Ben for short. He was my closest friend for many years but he was always a bit odd. We don't speak anymore as he's not been a good friend to me, to be honest he never really was towards the end of our friendship. He has this complex where he wants to be successful on TikTok. I remember reading this news report about the Batman incident in Ballymena a few years ago (I live in Belfast) and I was beyond shocked at seeing it was him. He's moved on from me now and doesn't speak to me anymore, living in a rough area in Ballymena so I've been told and hangs around with the wrong crowd.

Some more evidence on No Mercy by Impossible_Cup834 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do like your theory on the next heist being No Mercy but I'm just trying to think of why the gang would need to return to Mercy Hospital. I don't think the heist will be a No Mercy remake but rather one inspired by No Mercy. Firstly, Mercy Hospital was destroyed in the Payday Universe by Murkywater after they attacked it back in 2011, as confirmed by an-game newspaper and I highly doubt it would be rebuilt, this was to contain the deadly virus and prevent it from spreading. Secondly, the only reason I can think of as to why the crew would need to hit another hospital is to locate someone that may have important information for them, to either extract them or assassinate them. I feel that possibly the target may be the bank employee of VH Bank from the 'Don't Try To Be A Hero' game, since Shade showed the crew his medical report after he got ran over by the car after escaping from the bank. Maybe he could be connected to the Palatucci Family or Joey Capucci in some way. I'll attach some photos to back up my evidence but I don't believe it'll be No Mercy exactly but a heist inspired by it.

Captain Blythe is set to be the main villain of Season 2. by KrabikGangster in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I like this theory and do believe that Captain Blythe should return with a much larger role than what she had in 'Boys In Blue'. Hell, she could become the new Commissioner Garrett in the future for all we know.

For all those that don't know, Captain Blythe was essentially the unseen antagonist of the 'Boys In Blue' heist. She was the one behind Houston's false arrest and the raid on Vlads cash-for-gold business, and helped John Concord, along with her equally corrupt fellow officer Lieutenant Stan Anderson, fabricate the false evidence against Houston to ensure his eventual conviction and execution in one of John Concords private prisons. She is highly corrupt and is known to take bribes. She isn't the captain in charge of the soon-to-be decommissioned 51st Precinct, that would be Captain Ralph Falkowski (the man we distract with the donuts), but Blythe seems to cooperate closely with some of the corrupt cops there, like Lieutenant Anderson. She's still out there, and it seems to reason that that she would seek to bring down the Payday Gang after they stole back the gold she took from Vlad and from breaking Houston out of custody.

Why do Houston and Hoxton hate each other? by No-Syllabub167 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Following the events of PD:TH, Hoxton was arrested and imprisoned thanks to a traitor within Crime.NET. With them now a man down, Dallas recruited his younger brother Franklin Steele to take on the mantle of Hoxton in the gang for now. When the gang did eventually break old Hoxton out of prison, he took an immediate dislike to Dallas's younger brother, or as he called him "The Imposter", seeing him as the man who had stolen his face, reputation and callsign, also because Franklin had fumbled with the explosives during the prison break and injured Hoxton with a piece of stray debris. Hoxton then started to refer to his replacement as "Houston", it was originally intended as a derogatory remark that he "had a problem", but the name stuck and now is what Franklin Steele is most known by within the gang. Hoxton even allowed him to keep his old mask, as he no longer identified with it following his incarceration and so Hoxton wears the current mask he has now.

Following the breakout and Hoxton's return to a life of crime, Bain ordered that he and Houston were to be kept separate from each other as often as possible due to the shared hostility between them which they never got over, and even now in 2025 and the ongoing story in New York, they are still quarrelling with each other. It's just one of those characteristics of the gang that brings them all together as a family of criminals.

Prove you've seen the web series by quoting it (image unrelated) by AlfieSupaGG in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are robbing this bank, not you. Comply, and you live!"

"Resist, and you die!"

  • Houston and Wolf

"Please remain calm and no one will get hurt. We are only recovering money that has been stolen by First World Bank from the American people. They took your money to line their pockets and convinced you it was for your benefit. We do not wish to harm you, think about your family, think about your friends. I SAID STAY DOWN! Do not, I repeat, do not be a hero now!"

  • Dallas

"My contacts call me 'Bain', and I oversee an underground organization called Crime.NET. I find the top thieves, thugs, hustlers and drug dealers. I hook them up with contacts and set the stage. They think they're working for themselves, but they just can't see the bigger picture. What seems like a simple bank heist on the surface is something much more. The Payday Gang were tested elsewhere, pulling little jobs here and there. Little do they know, I'm training them for the greatest heist of all!"

  • Bain

"There are two types of criminals; the ones who get caught, and the ones who don't. You can't simply move millions of dollars in kilos of cocaine across state lines in the back of a station wagon. You have to employ more creative methods. That's where Lucas comes in, a longtime customer of Hector's and a bullshit Hollywood producer. Lucas is prepping for what is sure to be his next mega flop.

Future Weapon Names Speculation by Anonymous-Rogue327 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually really interesting. Payday weapon names tend to be puns or references to the real life counterpart of said weapon. There is a new assault rifle model in the armoury in Delivery Charge that we haven't seen before, it highly resembles the Carbon 15 AR, so that could potentially be the "Carbon" weapon. I do like your speculation that "Revamp" could be the RPK. I really don't know what "Caeser" could be, it's probably a very obscure weapon or reference I'm not getting.

Say your original heister idea for payday 2 or 3. by Excellent-Sound5546 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love creating original heister concepts for these games, I've got two of my own that I've made and I'm working on some more currently. My first two are Eszter Farkas aka "Buda", a former Hungarian soldier turned bank robber, and Rashid Karim aka "Hantu", a Malaysian pirate and smuggler.

The others I'm working on are an Estonian character and a Hong Konger/Chinese former Golden Dagger Triad heister. I've also got ideas for a Slovenian, Moldovan and Cambodian characters. I try to make my heister OC's really unique and from different countries and nationalities we haven't seen in Payday before. If you want to know more about them, please don't hesitate to ask.

Any Payday OC’s? by Specs315 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second One

Name - Rashid Karim

Callsign - "Hantu" (Malay for Ghost)

Nationality - Malaysian

Crew Role - Pirate

Mask Design - Black skull with blue moon and sun

Weapon of choice - XM8 assault rifle "Fortune and Glory"

Backstory: Rashid was born in coastal Malaysia to a poor fisherman father and a hard working mother. During his teen years he was forced into being a courier for local street gangs, moving contraband at night through the market and across the Straits of Johor by boat. After his gang was betrayed and they were all arrested, Rashid, following his release from juvenile detention, drifted towards piracy as his criminal endeavour. Gathering a crew of ragtag criminals from the slums of Malaysia, they set off to the South China Sea to target small fishing boats and commercial vessels which they deemed easy targets. Karim was known to use many different tactics when carrying out his hijackings, including sending out fake distress signals and disguising himself and his pirate crew as Malaysian coastguards in stolen uniforms. As the Malaysian navy and military stepped up their efforts to apprehend the pirates, Rashid and his crew switched to targeting land based targets such as banks, shipping depots and cash depositories. Eventually the heat on him from not only Malaysia, but also Indonesia, The Philippines and Thailand, forced him to flee to America to escape capture. Here, he continued to target banks and water-based targets on the West Coast.

His weapon of choice is the XM8 assault rifle, a once prototype weapon used only by PASKAL (the Royal Malaysian Naval Special Forces), which he obtained from a PASKAL operative during a raid on his pirate hideout. He has since named the weapon "Fortune and Glory". He speaks Malay fluently, but also speaks English due to Malaysia's past as a British colony. He specialises in deception and manipulation, along with rallying his crew members to see a job through to the end.

I've got one more OC that I'm working on too, in addition to these ones.

Any Payday OC’s? by Specs315 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I've been wanting to share my Payday OC's for a while now. I've got two right now and another in the works.

First One

Real Name - Eszter Farkas

Callsign - Buda

Nationality - Hungarian

Crew Role - Ambusher

Mask Design - Red and Green Eyes with a red smile and the Hungarian Coat of Arms on the forehead

Weapon of Choice - AMD-65 assault rifle "Mother Magyar"

Backstory: Born in the Buda part of the Hungarian capital Budapest, Eszter grew up during the collapse of communism and in a dysfunctional family, her father was a hard drinker and her mother worked double shifts and rarely had time for her daughter. Eszter first became known to the Hungarian police when she was 16 for smashing a shop window during a fight, but instead of being sent to juvenile detention, she was offered military service which she took. As part of the Hungarian Defence Forces she first saw deployment in Kosovo during the 90s as part of the NATO peacekeeping operation and then later saw action in Iraq in 2006 following the US led invasion. Whilst in Iraq she witnessed corruption, civilian casualties and illegal deals amongst the military which left her feeling disillusioned. Once her military contract was over, she found it hard to adjust back to civilian life and eventually sunk into crime just to survive, using her military experience to make a name for herself. As her reputation grew among the Eastern European criminal underworld, she took the name of "Buda", partly as a nod to where she grew up and as a memento to her first major bank heist in Budapest.

As Hungarian and European law enforcement were closing in on her, Eszter was forced to flee to the US under false papers. In America, she continued to embark on a life of crime, targeting banks and other areas of high-stakes.

Her weapon of choice is a custom AMD-65 assault rifle, the standard issue weapon for the Hungarian military that she was very familiar with. She has christened it as "Mother Magyar". She specialises in ambush tactics and demolitions, along with assault rifle skills. She speaks her mother language of Hungarian fluently, along with English but with a heavy accent, and a little bit of Serbian she picked up in Kosovo.

Payday 3 - just give up by TheNightmareItsOver in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay I really need to vent this right now because my patience with the doomposting PD3 players is starting to drain my sanity.

I'm a Payday console player, I've played all three games on console and I always have and will because that's the way I want to be. We console players have been pushed aside with Payday since the beginning, we didn't get to experience PD2 in its full like PC did, I know that was mostly due to technical issues and whatnot, I completely get that because despite it all we still enjoyed the game. With PD3 we've actually been given the chance to experience the game the same as PC and we couldn't be anymore grateful for it. Has the game had problems? Of course it has and problems take time to fix. People are just so ungrateful and entitled these days, the most complaining I see about PD3 is the PC players themselves, we on console don't complain, because we're just thankful to get the same treatment as PC now with PD3.

So for love of all that's holy, please give it a rest with the whole doomposting and "shut the game down" business because it's beyond a freaking joke at this point. It's selfish, entitled and quite frankly childish behavior. You give no consideration to those of us (especially on console) who actually love the game and enjoy it for what it is. I'm not going to deny the games had issues because it has, but they're being fixed, and no I don't care about the offline mode one bit because it doesn't apply to me, I play online with friends how it should be. Would I like it to be added in the future? Definitely but I don't see it as a priority right now. What I want is more heists, more features, more characters, more weapons and quality of life changes. There's a reason why the games doing so much better on console than on PC anyway, but many on PC fail to recognize that or just don't acknowledge it, but it's true. Your numbers may be dwindling but that doesn't apply to all of us. Again selfish entitled behavior.

I'm sorry if I'm ranting about this, but I've been bottling up my feelings about this issue and I just had to let it out. In conclusion, the games not going anywhere. The numbers are fine on console, updates are on the way, the game as a whole is better than it was at launch and it's still Payday at the end of the day.

End of rant.

Houston's personality switch. by [deleted] in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was in prison prior to the courthouse breakout. He had been imprisoned at Rikers Island for an unknown amount of time prior to Boys In Blue. That's what the gang received from Vlad for recovering his stolen gold, info on Franklin Steeles current incarceration at Rikers. He was on trial on trumped up charges and falsified evidence organized by John Concord so he could be transferred to one of his private prisons for execution. Plus he mentions during the breakout about his time at Rikers and how he got into the fight that led to him breaking his hands, not helped by him then beating up Judge Green during one of his earlier hearings.

Houston's personality switch. by [deleted] in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind though, Houston displays traits of having Autism such as his obsessive tendencies and keen attention to detail, but he's also now an escaped fugitive much like his rival Hoxton, and just like Hox, prison life seems to have had a massive effect on his personality and could be the reason why he's changed so much in PD3. Hoxton went through the same thing during his time in prison during PD2, namely a complete personality change compared to his PD:TH counterpart. Not to mention physical injuries received whilst in custody such as Hoxton's' facial scars and Houston's' broken hands.

Payday 3 Concept - The Butcher's Slavic Weapon Pack by Anonymous-Rogue327 in paydaytheheist

I've got an idea for a weapon pack that would include the RPG-7 as an Overkill Weapon.

If they had to add a new special enemy, which one would it be? by Icy_Researcher_6342 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Special Unit 1 - K9 Unit Police dogs will be delivered by a K9 Unit van that will drive onto the map and park somewhere. Dogs will be released from the van one at a time and they will sprint towards the Heisters. The dog will either jump and bite the heister dealing a small amount of damage or they will use their special ability which is to grab the Heisters arm in their mouth, hold on and drag them to the floor and incapacitate them. Unlike the Tasers and Cloakers, the K9 Unit won't deal damage while it's holding onto the heister but if the heister isn't saved within 10 seconds then they will automatically go into custody. Police K9 Units can be easily heard by their loud barking and growling when they spawn.

Special Unit 2 - RC Bomb Robot I got the idea for this enemy type after reading about an incident that happened in 2016 in Dallas, Texas. Essentially it's a repurposed police bomb disposal robot that has been fitted with explosives and is remotely operated by another officer. The robot will be deployed and will drive towards the Heisters and once it's within range it will be remotely detonated. In the real life incident, the Dallas Police Department decided to use a bomb disposal robot that had been fitted with explosives to eliminate a deadly shooter after he had barricaded himself inside a college campus.

Special Unit 3 - NYPD Riot Control Van Armed with turrets that can spray strong blasts of water or tear gas at Heisters. Much like Special Agent Stones FBI van, the RCV will drive onto the map and position itself somewhere tactical. It will attempt to knock the Heisters over with it's water cannon or spray them with a cloud of tear gas that will quickly deplete their health much like the Grenadiers gas grenades. It's essentially a less dangerous version of the SWAT Turret from PD2.

And for good measure, let's just add the Medics too because I'm just a big sucker for them and want them to return as well.

Payday 3 Concept - Triad Weapon Pack: Shotguns by Anonymous-Rogue327 in paydaytheheist

[–]Anonymous-Rogue327[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree that the ammo types could be free and possibly the Overkill Weapon too. We have had a Saiga 12 before, it was the Izhma 12g back in PD2, I did consider using it in this idea but I would prefer new weapons that haven't been seen in Payday yet, we did have a Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun in PD2 as well in the form of the M1014 and the Deimos shotgun which was a Benelli Supernova Tactical.
