It's Payday... [2: The Bomb Heist Trailer]

It's payday. Again.

I'm watching The Bomb Heist trailer for Payday 2. Mostly it feels like a cross between a German car advert and an episode of The Killing – it has that same washed out colour palette and deliberate measured dialogue.

It's a live action thingummy starring Babylon 5's Mira Furlan which introduces the new DLC. There's a heist (The Bomb), a new crew member (Dragan) and you meet your new contact, The Butcher.

Several Redditors have used a combination of pausing and knowing about guns to identify the VHS-2 at the end of the trailer – a Croatian machine gun, but that's about it for information, though. Overkill say that more details will be coming on January 20th.

It will be interesting to see what they decide to do with regard to the pricing for all of this. I remember Alice was unimpressed by the £4 charge to get Clover as a crew member and that she was separated out from the Diamond Heist mission released at the same time for £5.
