More On: Payday 2

505 Games has recently released the second DLC pack for Payday 2 which is called the Gage Weapon Pack #1.  This pack introduces the frag grenade into the series.  Ever wanted to rob a bank with a hand grenade?  In game of course.  Well, now's your chance.  Players will also be able to toggle single and auto-fire with their weapons, plus new mods will be unlocked that let gamers permanently change a weapon's fire from single to auto with added stat bonuses.

The pack will also include three new weapons: the .40 pistol, the Eagle Heavy rifle, and the SpecOps submachine gun.  The rest of the stuff the pack brings are a lot more weapons slots (72 total), new animals masks, and ten more achievements.  The DLC pack is available now on Steam for $4.99.

PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew -- Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains -- as they descend on Washington D.C. for an epic crime spree.

 

Gage Weapon Pack #1 is the second PC DLC pack for PAYDAY 2. Frag grenades make their first entry into the PAYDAY series and will surely spice things up. With the new grenade case asset, players can share grenades with each other in the heists. In addition, three new weapons have been added and players can toggle between single and auto-fire with full auto weapons. Four new animal masks have been added as well as new patterns and materials.
