Payday 2 has launched update 209 for the PC version of the game, so here’s all that’s been added and what bugs have been fixed with this patch. This update may be entirely focused on bug fixes, but it helps to celebrate a monumental milestone. Payday 2 was released eight years ago tomorrow, so congratulations to the team for still going strong all this time later, with a sequel in the works!

They can even try it free for three days, so there’s no reason not to play it. Onto the topic at hand though! Without further adieu, here’s everything new with Payday 2 update 209!
