Payday 3 Stealth Trailer: Unveiling the Secrets of Stealth Heists
Payday 3’s stealth heist trailer has been met with positive feedback from fans, but the over-the-top game’s decision to be always online and a service title has sparked some controversy among players. The upcoming Payday sequel promises to be a true video game experience, with its over-the-top gameplay and immersive mechanics that blend the best of shooters and RPGs. Payday 3 aims to expand and refine the stealth mechanics that weren’t fully fleshed out in its predecessor, and it appears that Overkill is going above and beyond to create a polished, refined experience for fans. In an effort to hide the stealth trailer for Payday 3, the developers went so far as to create a unique marketing move that has players turning down the volume and using incognito browsers to reveal the trailer.
After four days of silence following the Payday 3 gameplay trailer release, the developers at Overkill went ahead and created a stealth trailer that was hidden on the game’s website. In a tongue-in-cheek poem, the developers lay out the methods for finding the hidden video.
“Silence is golden,” the poem reads. “Unless you’re trying to find the new #Payday3 Stealth Trailer. In that case, silence isn’t golden, silence is silver.” The poem emphasizes the need for silence to find the video, but it also includes the option to use an incognito browser, so players who aren’t sure what the poem is hinting at can still find the trailer.
The developers went above and beyond to create a stealthy experience, prompting fans to find the video after four days of silence. So, to help you out, here’s the Payday 3 stealth trailer that was hidden on the website.
The silly, whimsical poetry belies the actual trailer itself, which showcases the game’s mechanics and the goofy movements of the characters. The trailer puts the emphasis on the advancement in stealth mechanics, showing off the ability to use a skylight to avoid security systems and silently escape with loot. While stealth wasn’t really viable in Payday 2, it appears that Payday 3 will allow you to use it as a strategic advantage before engaging in intense shootouts.
PC Gamer’s Tyler Wilde had the opportunity to try out the new stealth mechanics in Payday 3, highlighting its viability as a tactic. Payday 3 looks like it’ll be a polished, improved version of the popular Payday series, with an emphasis on expanding the stealth mechanics that weren’t fully explored in Payday 2.
Excitement for Payday 3 hasn’t waned and is set to peak as the release date arrives. Whether you’re looking forward to jumping into the thrilling world of high-stakes robberies yourself or just want to know more about what’s in store, stick with PCGamer.com for all the latest on Payday 3.
