Here’s what you need to know going in

The North American collector’s edition forPayday 2is notable in that it’s priced at a reasonable $59.99. That, and it includes a wearable mask, which is a pretty good bonus as far as these things tend to go. There’s also a soundtrack CD, gloves (okay, that’s a bit creepy), and a $100 bill wallet. All told, not a bad offering for a game that looks as good as it does.

In this video, game director David Goldfarb overviewsPayday 2and how it’s been expanded beyond the scope of its predecessor. The original game was a good start, but based on what I’m seeing here, this will be the real deal for those wanting a cooperative heist game.
