Enemies like the Bulldozer and the Cloaker have new tricks up their sleeve.
Payday 3 will launch with four difficulties: Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Overkill.
Higher difficulties increase enemy numbers, accuracy, and damage.
However, enemy health is consistent around all tweaks, making for a more even player experience.
As for enemy types, the most common enemies are SWAT and Heavy SWAT units.
More uncommon enemies include Shield and Sniper units.
Enemy tactics have received an upgrade, with the standard SWAT units positioning themselves around the shield as cover.
The game also includes both new and returning special enemies.
For example, the Bulldozer is a heavily armored SWAT officer.
You will have a brief window to fight back and break free, before you are fully stunned.
The Nader is a brand new special enemy, who deploys gas grenades and flashbangs.
Player armor affects movement speed and weight.
Armor is made of components that can break down under fire.
you’ve got the option to fix your armor with an armor bag, similar to a medkit.
Some special enemies will circumvent armor with their attacks.
Each gun has its own progression path, where you unlock items to use on that particular weapon.
you could also play with preset weapons, which have a set loadout of mods and a unique look.
Payday 3 launches on September 18, on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
