Before the Gage Historical Pack, Overkill added a number of packs dedicated to different weapon types, from shotguns to Sniper Rifles. I would encourage any interested readers to research all available DLCs themselves before making any purchases.ģ. Of course this is a highly subjective opinion, but I judged these based off of the new abilities/weapons/features each unlocks and in how well they fill holes left behind in the base game.

Now that I’m more experienced and really understand the game somewhat, I decided to write this short guide to what I consider the three DLC that are the “best” purchases for a budget player who wants the most bang for their extra bucks.

Some disappointed me, others were fun but ultimately didn’t provide enough content to be worth the price tag. However, unowned DLC has a tendency to nag your subconscious every time you find yourself staring at a locked weapon or map and wishing you could try the darn thing out, and so I have shelled out for a few DLCs here and there. Even then, you can play DLC maps by joining public games hosted by other people who own the DLC, which was a great touch Overkill carried forward from the first game. One of the first things I had trouble figuring out after I decided that I liked the game was which DLC are worth the five-dollar price tag, and the first conclusion I drew was “none of them.” The base game has all sorts of cool options for the enterprising heister with a perfectly fine arrangement of weapon types, weapon mods, and maps to run around testing out your guns. (Updated Janury 8th to reflect changes to the game) Update: Looks like we picked the right day to publish this article! All Payday 2 DLC is 55% off until June 22nd!
