Summary
APayday 3player has discovered a flaw in the game in which money bags offer minimal rewards. SincePayday 3was released, fans have wondered why they can’t see how much cash is in money bags, but one player may have found the reason.
Because of the popularity ofPayday 2and some flaws in its sequel,Payday 3has seen a mixed reception since it launched. Among the things thatPayday 3does better thanPayday 2are the AI, movement, and stealth. In many cases, entering aPayday 2heist with a stealth focus would result in better rewards, but that isn’t necessarily the case inPayday 3. Just like in earlierPaydaygames, there are ideal builds for executing certain missions. However, this player has discovered that no matter whether they played tactically or loudly, they’re met with the same success screen.

Reddit user Theteenagedcrusader recently broke down somePayday 3numbers to reveal an issue with money bags. Theteenagedcrusader’sPayday 3gameplay so far includes 30 heists which included 16 loud and 14 stealth missions. Between these heists, Theteenagedcrusader has stated that they have done the maximum allotted slots and the minimum required for completing a mission. InPayday 2, players would be able to see how much cash was in a money bag. This prompt would allowPayday 2players to decide whether the money bag was worth the hassle or not. According to Theteenagedcrusader, the payout for thePayday 3heistswas roughly the same regardless of how many money bags they had or how the mission was executed.
Beyond sharing their story, Theteenagedcrusader also posted a heist success image of one minimum and a maximum mission. While the progress bar in the middle highlights how much less thePayday 3player did, the reward for the maximum is $598,800 and the minimum is $588,000. These heists were doneonPayday 3solonormal difficulty which shows that Theteenagedcrusader didn’t benefit from teammates. The success page highlights that two money bags are worth roughly as much as eight bags. Otherwise, the stats shown on Theteenagedcrusader heist completion page are roughly the same, with few drawbacks on the less lucrative side to explain the minimal difference.
The discrepancy between these two numbers shows that players may benefit by doing as little as they can in aPayday 3heist rather than maximizing their potential. Because Starbreeze Studios will likelyupdatePayday 3many times in the future, this money bag issue may be resolved.
Payday 3is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
