Payday is back, with more action and distraction for players to dive into. The game's third mission will have players surveilling a fine jewelry store, with loads of loot available just inside the door. To access the prime loot in Payday 3's Dirty Ice mission, players will need to acquire the QR code from one of the phones located around the map and unlock one of the doors to the VIP Showroom.
Inside the showroom, there will be more loose jewels and luxury jewelry to be bagged in locked display cases - although the alarm system will go off and lock down all the more valuable loot. To grab the loot, players will have to find a way past the PIN-locked basement doors and disable the lockdown switch in the basement storage room.
Basement PIN Code
The two doors leading to the basement area will be PIN locked with a randomly generated PIN that will change each heist attempt. To discover the PIN, players will need to access the manager's office and hack the computer to gain access to the manager's e-mail correspondence. One of the e-mails will mention the PIN was just recently changed and can now be found somewhere around the map. Read the e-mail to learn the inspiration for the new code, as the email will coyly reveal the PIN is already posted somewhere in the store in one of three locations:
- The PIN is posted in the VIP Showroom - in the VIP Room above the storage containers.
- The PIN is the same as the employee of the month employee's ID number - the employee of the month plaque can be found in the main showroom.
- The PIN is the same as the office Wi-Fi password - this password is written on the whiteboard in the lunchroom across the hall from the manager's office and VIP Showroom.
Find the PIN and input it on either of the two locked doors to gain access to the basement.
In the Basement
A guard is wandering the main section of the basement, and two cameras that players will need to sneak past. One camera overlooks the middle area of the room, rotating between the basement exit to the alley and the storage room door; the other camera overlooks the security room entrances. The guard will alternate standing by the security room door, the storage room door, and the corner by the stairs leading to the jewelry store's main floor.
Navigate across the basement to the storage room and pick the lock - inside, players will find the red vault key card, a safe with important documents relevant to the story of the game, and a breaker box on the right wall that can be interacted with. Flip the switch on the breaker box, and the VIP Showroom alarm will be deactivated - players can now lockpick and open the displays and pack the look.
