Payday 3, the long awaited sequel to Payday 2. This time, it was built with console in mind and has crossplay. Some trophies require 3-4 players but otherwise an easy plat.

Difficulty Rating

5/10

Online/Offline Trophies

As of right now the game is online only.

Most Wanted

The Platinum, complete all the other trophies.

No One Cared Who I Was...

...until I put on the mask. Can be done in the tutorial or your first real Heist.

Guns Don't Kill People...

Can be paired with Crown Control. Research Engineer to unlock the turret.

Danger, High Voltage

Can be done on any loud Heist. Get a group of at least 4 cops close to a laser and shoot the pouch on his leg.

Unlimited Power

Equip Gunsinger, CQC Specialist and Escapist skills then activate them in a Heist.

Kitted Out

I recommend the CAR-4 at 29 or the Reinfeld 880 at 17.

Arts and Crafts

Buy a blank mask, colour and pattern then apply to the mask.

Traffic Control

This is easily done with 2 people. However your route is dependant on RNG. If needed, place the ramps and move the forklift before starting the override. Then, once it's moving, stay close to the vehicle as it moves.

Crowd Control

You will need another person for this one. One moves the truck while the other defends the hostages. This is a good opportunity for Gun's don't kill people... as well.

True Connoisseur

This requires 3 players to complete and must be done in at least partial stealth. Find the managers office and on the desk are 3 miniature statues that are located in the galleries. You must each find a statue and pick them up simultaneously. Voice chat recommended for this. Next have l1 person head to the painting behind the statue in the room at the back of the gallery. And have another person go to the managers office, they can move the painting and press the button to release the painting. From this point you can choose to go loud. Once the painting is secured you get the trophy.

Art Critic

This can be done in loud or stealth and be combined with True Connoisseur but that particular painting is not required.

Color Me Surprised

You need at least 2, 3-4 will be easier. There are 8 bag of cash and 1 dye pack on each.

Just... One... More...

Having Quick Fingers skill will speed up the process.

Tech Mogul

Doing this in stealth is much easier but not necessary. Escapist skills can help by giving a speed boost.

No Stone Unturned

In the container yard with the container containing the hi-tech devices you can 3 more containers of the same colour with 2 additional bags each.

Closing yhe Account

Easier done in stealth with the elevator trick. And can be paired with The Hard Way.

The Hard Way

2 players will make this easier. Social Engineering will have the Employee ignore you while in rush allowing you to get the red keyboard without alerting him. Hack the PC in the server room. Remember the code, it does not change when you restart the Heist. Restart the Heist and skip the above as you already know the code. Deactivate the lasers by interacting with the wall panel. Activate the switches according to color/shape. Find the blue keycard either in the back of the office on the second floor or on a roaming employee. Use the card to access the manager's office, hack the computer and activate the card reader. Loot the vault and put the loot down the elevator.

Cleanin' It Out

This can be done on loud or stealth. Find a QR code to unlock the VIP door. Drag the female store manager to the iris scanner. Make sure you clean all 8 diamonds. And grab the 5 bags from the VIP room. 

Smash and Grab

Easiest in stealth on normal as you only need 2 bags and the driver won't flee unless the alarm is triggered.

Party Crasher

Easier with 2 or more people. Go up the catwalk behind the DJ booth and mess with the speakers. Stash the DJ in the room on the left. Mess with the music in the DJ booth to lure away the boss and the bouncer. Grab the blue keycard off the bouncer and go through the VIP door. Enter a vent located in the bathroom opposite the dance floor. You will find a whitenoard with the correct panel you need to deactivate T the top of the dance floor in the right. Then head back to the IT Room, grab the crypto wallet and escape.

Afterparty

Best done without randoms unless you hold on to the final bag. Assaults ending are signal by The Police are regrouping. Make sure to complete 4 full assaults before securing the final bag as it triggers an endless assault (final assault).

Spec Ops

Glitch Protocol as well as Menacing are a big help here. At the start go up the stairs on the right. Go through the vent and kand in the couch. Just outside to your right is the master bedroom and a panel on the wall next to it. Activate it and the wifi. Then head to the bedroom and pull the book until you find the trigger. Move the wooden wall to reveal the vault. Now you will need the QR card from the lead guard, he is the only guard wearing a hat. Once you have the QR code you need to find the room it opens it is either straight from the master bedroom at the end of the corridor or on the lower floor below the master bedroom. Grab the red keycard from it and head back upstairs. Head to the office opposite of the master bedroom. Once inside press the panic button underneath the desk. A man will deliver a small bottle of whisky to the bar. You now need to find a bottle of poison. It can be in one of the bathrooms or the storage room near the kitchen. Poison the whisky and ring the bell, then hide in the bathroom. When he goes to puke in the bathroom, you will have to grab him and drag him upstairs to the iris scanner. Having others to act as lookouts would help. Check the whiteboard in the office for the code to the keypad in the bedroom. Open the vault and Crack the safe (go the indicated direction and once you find the correct number let it sut for a couple seconds.) and get the SSD from inside. Plus the SSD into the computer in the office. Use the speakers on the benches by the main entrance to distract the guards and nake your escape. If you need to restart, the code stays the same so you can skip dragging Mason upstairs.

Insurance Policy

This requires 4 players. There is a large group in the lower floor of the penthouse, make sure to tue them up in case you need them as a human shield for the end of the Heist. Have 2 protect the hostages while 2 do the objectives. Once the escape is available everyone grab a human shield and drag them to the escape.
