The developers of Payday 3 haven’t pleased the community with updates for a long time, so rumors began to spread about the project’s shutdown. Starbreeze refuted them and also shared its upcoming plans.
Payday 3 will introduce armor that regenerates fully, just like in previous installments of the franchise. The update is expected to release on May 26.
The new armor system includes several vests with a set of stats (ammo capacity, impact on movement speed, etc.).
Different types of plates can be slotted into the vests — Standard (breaks after taking a certain amount of damage), Adaptive (regenerates if not completely broken), and a new Impact Plate type (regenerates fully even after being destroyed). The latter plate type does not reduce incoming damage in any way.
A teaser for the Party Powder heist was shown.
