Upon its official release, Payday 3 is set to include eight elaborate heists set against the vibrant setting of New York City. Even while the number may seem low, each heist promises to take a lot of time to accomplish and has the added advantage of being replayable, providing a different experience each time.

Players should consider the potential of four more missions being added after launch, as Payday 2 initially appeared with 12 heists, even if devs have not officially confirmed it.

Starbreeze has officially confirmed two of the eight heists. The first will take place in downtown New York with the goal being to burn a hole in a vault's ceiling, and the second will take place beneath the Brooklyn Bridge with a night-time art gallery heist as part of it. The other six have not been revealed yet. The two announced heists are listed below:

  1. No Rest for the Wicked
  2. Surphaze Art Gallery
