Payday 2
 Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:Payday 2 for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |

Payday 2 is the sequel to Payday: The Heist. As with the first game, players may join up to three others in a spree of robberies and other heists to earn money. Payday 2 noticeably features many changes from the first game, among other things the new skill tree. Each of the five trees (the Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, and Fugitive) focuses on differing specializations, though unlike the first game do not grant new weapons for level ups (aside from special examples like the portable saw). Weapons are instead unlocked to purchase by leveling up, which now is done with experience points instead of money. Money is used to buy new weapons, modifications, and masks, though it is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and addons.
The following weapons appear in the video game Payday 2
Overview
The game operates with the heister moving in with 2 weapons, and 2 weapons only. A primary and a secondary. Primaries consist of assault rifles, shotguns, and marksman rifles. Secondaries consist of pistols, machine pistols, and bizarrely, a few chopped down variants of some shotguns and assault rifles. Players can take ammo from enemies, but not weapons, ala SWAT 4 and other such tactical shooters.
Each weapon has its own customization options, though some like the Glock 17 barely have any and others like the M4A1 may have much more than others. In addition to shared items like suppressors, weapons also have their own sets of unique addons, such as extended magazines or different finishes or grips. Mods can be removed from these weapons for no charge, and the mod in question will not be lost, merely returned to the player's inventory. However, re-adding it will again requires money.
In addition to this, owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC will be allowed to change the firing mode between fully automatic and semi-automatic on all applicable weapons, and unlock access to special addons that enable locking a weapon permanently in one fire mode. Owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #2 DLC will also have access to the machine guns as well as new knives. Owners of the Gage Mod Courier DLC will also be able to unlock a special set of modifications that are otherwise unobtainable. As a bonus, the pack also comes with extra reticles and colors for all sights, though players without the DLC will still be able to use all the colors and a few of the new reticles. In addition, every weapon DLC pack since (and a few heist DLCs) have had even more new guns and melee weapons, and have begun to lock weapon addons to specific achievements rather than random drops. Finally, a noteworthy addition from the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC is the option to use different shell types for any of the game's shotguns. All firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a "tactical reload" (i.e. reload when the magazine isn't emptied) in addition to the "dry" animation, though as is common with most contemporary non-tactical shooters, none of them retain the round currently in battery, meaning there is no "one round in the chamber".
As a final addition, starting with the October 22, 2014 patch, players with a specific skill set are also allowed to replace their primary with two dual-wielded pistols, though this obviously comes with penalties to aiming and recoil and can currently can only be done with a few pistols. Dual-wielding can be done by any player with enough perks in the Hitman perk deck unlocked, or by players who have the Akimbo skill from the Fugitive tree
Handguns

The Beretta 92FS Centurion appears as the "Bernetti 9" and is unlocked at reputation level 6, and has an incorrect 14-round magazine. Presently, it is one of the seven pistols that can be dual-wielded. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday

Modified Version.
Glock 18C Generation 3
The Glock 18C Generation 3 is unlocked at reputation level 29 and, as in the first game, is known as the "STRYK 18c."

The Glock 26 appears as a new gun added in the John Wick update (10/22/2014) and is named the "Chimano Compact". It correctly holds 10 rounds and presently is one of the seven pistols that can be dual-wielded. Unusually, its dual-wield version has even less reserve ammunition than the single one, despite most other pistols using double their normal ammunition amount when dual-wielded (likely done for balancing, as the single gun has 150 rounds total)
Modified Version.
Glock 26 Akimbo

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical
The Heckler & Koch USP Tactical appears as the "Interceptor .45" and is automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the Payday 2 Official Steam Group. It is decently powerful and holds a 13-round magazine. It is one of seven pistols that can be dual-wielded (along with all variants below)

Modified Version.
Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator

The Taurus 4510PLYFS was added to the game as a Crimefest community milestone reward, for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. It shoots the .410 Bore and holds 5 shells, and is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effects on it. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the space between the barrel and cylinder

Modifying a Walther PPK with the Long Slide turns it into a Walther PP.
Modified Version.

Modified Version.
Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles

Modified Version.

Modified Version.
FN Herstal FNC

It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle still lacks the bolt release of an A3. Upon launch, the rifle can be seen using a Magpul PMAG, which suggests it was not based entirely on an authentic AUG. After the animation update, however, it gains the AUG's proprietary magazine.
Modified Version.
Thales F90
Attaching the "Raptor Polymer Body" lower receiver added in Butcher Mod Pack #2 update to the AUG A2 allows it to impersonate the Thales F90 (although still lacks the bolt release of an F90).
Z-M LR 300ML
The CAR-4 fitted with the "Aftermarket Special" handguard, "Folding Stock" and "Short Barrel" closely impersonates the Z-M LR 300ML, though not completely as the pistol grip remains the M4A1's, the handguard is not a perfect copy, and it still lacks the LR 300's gas block.
Shotguns

Prior to the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC, it was the only semi-auto shotgun in the game. The model is not based on an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the AKMS. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKMS top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga.

Others
C4
C4 can only be used with the right Technician skills. By default, it is used as tripmines, which can be used to set traps for enemies. The tripmines themselves are unlocked simply by starting to learn Technician skills. The later Shaped Charge skill allows players with it to use their explosives to instead blow up doors and safe doors, potentially saving a lot of time for them and their team. Certain skills also allow them to be toggled into 'Sensor Mode' in which they will not explode, but will mark enemies that pass by. This can be useful in stealth runs. Some C4 packs are also used for certain objectives, and can be used by any player when picked up
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The Heckler & Koch MP5K appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above
M18 Smoke Grenade
The M18 smoke grenade is used by law enforcers at times. The Commissar in Hotline Miami also uses one when fought
M67 Hand Grenade
The M67 hand grenade is only usable by players with the first Gage Weapon Pack DLC, unless they buy the Grenade Case for their team during a heist. Grenades have a fairly wide blast radius that can go through walls, and they will stun enemies that aren't killed outright. Players can carry up to three and should be careful, as they can easily cause civilian kills or friendly fire if handled improperly. Notably, it's possible for enemies to shoot the grenades in mid-air, causing immediate detonation. All grenades are shown with the red Overkill bomb logo painted on the side.
M79 Grenade Launcher
Unlike the original Payday, the M79 Grenade Launcher was not included at release, but was added in the Gage Assault Pack. Known as the GL40 in game, it holds a single grenade in the chamber and the player can carry a maximum of 6 shots at once. Like the M67 it has friendly fire and can easily kill civilians unintentionally. Like its previous incarnation, grenades fired by the M79 in Payday 2 does not have a minimum arming range, and can detonate immediately upon being shot if the player is facing an obstacle. The front leaf sight on the M79 model acts as an in-built gadget, and pressing the enable gadget key (default "G"), allows the player to fire grenades at a much higher arc than usual.
Milkor MGL Mk 1S
Added with the release of The Butcher's BBQ Pack DLC was a Milkor MGL Mk 1S, known internally as the "Piglet" grenade launcher. It has similar damage per shot to the M79 but boasts a wider range of modifications and much larger ammo pool.
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate was added to the game in the Gage Historical Pack, and is referred to in game as the "Potato Masher". Unlike the M67, it is not used as a thrown explosive, but rather as a melee weapon, similar to the Demoman from Team Fortress 2.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 10000, but can only carry 4 rounds at a time. The weapon is unaffected by ammo pickups and can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly
Modified Version.
Hand Held M134 Minigun
The Hand Held M134 Minigun was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest rate-of-fire of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, having the weapon equipped results in a movement speed penalty. The weapon also appears to have no power source.
Modified Version.
