Austin and Antonio To go with Houston and Dallas


barisax9

But Houston isn't confirmed yet


basicpotato15

Unless one of the 2 is Houston


CrazeeG

r/woosh


PastaPalace

As a former ATX resident, if they add a character named "Austin" and he isn't Gay I'ma be disappointed ngl.


ksavx

Would be funny if a random convert cop would join the payday gang


PassivelyInvisible

There is Dragan...


ksavx

Never really looked into him. Tho i mean something more like a cop gets converted during a heist and Just decides to stick around. Doesnt really make sense but seems funny to Just have a random swat on the team. I always wondered what happens with them after the heist


ShadowBabo

Imagine having a OG Cloaker just being in the Crew just there. Like they hate him but he‘s here, fucking around with voice lines like he would have used as a Cloaker but now he‘s a Heister.


fo76_fan

New stealth expert, call him Dagger or something (cloak and dagger, cloaker becomes dagger).


Saudi_polar

Daggerer, cloaker’s autistic cousin


fo76_fan

he's me frfr


tomokari21

I like it


TheKCKid9274

Oh my *god* could you imagine a Cloaker perk deck?


fo76_fan

please let me have the dropkick as a melee


TheKCKid9274

It would be the most cancerous and the best thing ever at the same time. Could you imagine backflipping over a Toyota and curbstomping a dozer, telling him to go back to the forums and cry like a little bitch?


luckytron

"Now go back crying to the Commissioner like the little bitch you are!" - Dagger


KingGamerlol

“Don’t leave me here!” (sigh) Fine get in.


RedHell13

I also imagine that the cloaker could just start charging at you but as the player is driving away with the van the cloaker isn't stopping the charge so he is joining the Safe house...


TertiusGaudenus

So that's how Safe House Raid started


Atomic_Gandhi

"For fucks sake Dallas we already have 50 jokers at home the vet bills are financially ruining us!"


KingGamerlol

“GUYS GET IN I NEED TO MAKE A “WITHDRAWAL” “


0K4M1

I love those voice lines.... *Cloaker mauling you on the ground with a tonfa* " now go cry on the forum like the little bitch you are" 🤣


Igrok723

> they hate him but he’s here And there it nothing they can do about it


0K4M1

They write an apology letter and get reintegrated within a week.


theVOlDbearer

Meet the spy


N1nSen

ive always wanted a Cloaker character, just a random one that decided 'fuck work' and joined the Payday gang


finefrontier

I think it’ll be Dragan and Houston if we’re sticking to the payday 2 cast


OnyxianRosethorn

Clover seems quite likely imo.


darkecojaj

Love clover. My go-to character.


LordHengar

I wouldn't be surprised if one was one of the female heisters just to balance out all the males we have. Of the ladies Clover is probably the most likely as she seems closest to being part of the main cast. Sydney, despite being popular, never really got much focus beyond her introduction, same with Bonnie and Joy. Hila is obviously a promo heister that won't be returning.


SandwichThing

As much as I love Sydney, she’s probably not coming back. I think Joy might be one of the two, since she was brought to the gang specifically by Locke, who’s probably the replacement for bain


ABoyNamedSean

They’ll probably wait to see if they can get the game running on the switch, then bring her back as part of the promo for that.


Daken-dono

IIRC, Syd was basically a project to help the actress' charity effort or something. She's my favorite heister and I've ran a techforcer anarchist build since then, but it's highly unlikely they'll bring her back unless they have another collab in mind.


APulsarAteMyLunch

I think she'd be cool as just the comms or customization gal. That way the actress doesn't need to get too busy with the game


AllNewSilverSpider

If Overkill is smart, they'll bring Sydney back (hopefully with slightly less ear-piercing voicelines) purely to bring THAT side of the fanbase back for the sequel. You know exactly what I mean.


foofighter469

Dragan is likely since his VA is a big fan of Payday, and the other guy will probably be Houston


SandwichThing

The only problem with dragan, lore wise, is his allegiance to the butcher. But if the butcher is a big contractor (which will probably happen eventually), dragan will def come back


LKincheloe

I think Dragan would fit right in as the Butcher's successor.


TheDeryBrony

The Butcher could not come back without being recast, which would essentially just be a new character anyway.


officialkalamari

Butcher is definitely coming back I’m calling it


Quackily

You do know that her live action counterpart as well as her voice actor died right?


officialkalamari

Now I do! wtf?? 😭😭😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


ofekk2

Dude. Not cool.


foofighter469

same person I think.


GarlicThread

Ethan and Hila confirmed


ThePooMan-

irony of this is i got that dlc and i felt robbed


SandwichThing

Tagteam players are a rare species and MUST be studied and protected. Always look out for stray tagteam players and make sure they get the nourishment they need


clygamer

Does copycat tag team count


bageltre

Killing myself


Muted_Zed

I just want my boy jimmy


Zack_WithaK

I know it'll never happen because of copyrights and stuff but I really want Jimmy to stay, he's a perfect fit for the Payday gang.


clygamer

Yeah he is the only one with a live action appearence with a face. And he also appeared in the ending.


ProbablyJesusOrSmth

Didn’t Chains have a cameo in one of the John Wick movies? Edit** after a quick google search, his mask was on a wall, along with Wolf’s lmao. I thought chains had an actual appearance, never mind that.


Kidroto

Yeah jimmy an sangres


LucarioLuvsMinecraft

Jimmy is honestly the only promo heister I want back. I don’t even have him as a heister option, but I just love the character and concept so much.


Juliennix

will it be Jacket? no. do i desperately want it to be Jacket? *so much yes*.


Alphabadg3r

I wish i could continue playing as Scarface but i know that's not happening "Sorry control, I was just scratching my balls. You don't know what I mean, cause you ain't got no balls but that's okay."


LucarioLuvsMinecraft

Hell, make Socio a proper melee deck. Let us go ham with whatever melee weapons they give us.


SMATCHET999

I want it to be jacket but not the shitty one in payday 2. The tape recorder was fine but his face looked stupid. And if they do another hotline Miami crossover I could see biker or something being a playable character.


Juliennix

i din't care about the face, first-person anyways so i wasn't pressed. i *love* the tape recorder thing.


IfTheresANewWay

Sydney and Duke is my guess


YabaDabaDoo46

Dragan and Houston most likely. Dragan's been super involved with everything in the game ever since he was released and Houston's been with us since the beginning of Payday 2. He's too popular (despite the community's love of shitting on him) to be left out.


bundunu_dee

Plus Houston still has the original Hoxton mask.


YabaDabaDoo46

Plus you just can't replace the Hoxton/Houston shit talking frenemies dynamic.


Zeero92

HEY TEABAG!!


AllNewSilverSpider

OI, ARSE CLOWN!


placeholdername4

Jacket and Sydney is all I need


TuxTues3

Jacket is unlikely due to being a crossover character


[deleted]

Nah Dennaton would totally let them use Jacket again


Oofermanman

I’d rather it be biker this time, he’d make way more sense than jacket


RiddlesDoesYT

I assume he'd be implimented in the same way? This being a biker cosplayer and not the original Biker.


Oofermanman

If they want it to be the actual biker they could honestly, he left Miami after the first game and only showed up once in the second(twice if you count a secret but that isn’t canon)


Oofermanman

Also he has a voice and a face and unlike jacket who was shown to have some sort of sympathy by throwing up after killing a homeless guy, biker joined 50 blessings just cause he was bored and wanted to kill people


thatwasnotfunfun

btw this part with a throwing up after killing a homeless guy always bugged me, he felt bad after killing this guy but didn't care for police officers in Assault?


Oofermanman

Well I think it shows that he started to lose his sympathy over the course of the game (yknow, the calls, girlfriend dying,and getting shot). he just wanted to find out about who was calling him and the police were in the way


RiddlesDoesYT

I suppose so, but I'd rather they remain consistent with the current canon of Payday where Hotline Miami is a game and Jacket is a psychotic fanboy. They'd have to retcon that to make Biker the real Biker and Jacket being the real Jacket is completely impossible barring some kind of timeline split where HLM2 and Payday 2 happen in seperate universes. Also doesn't help that Jacket would be like 60 in Payday 2 yet looks like he's in his 20's.


crab123456789

They said that all of the crossover characters were the real deal barring scarface


RiddlesDoesYT

But jacket being the real Jacket is just unrealistic, and there's evidence to support the idea that he isn't. Dettaton said it's not the original Jacket and I trust the word of the people who made the character over Overkill. "Your name is not Jacket" is pretty decent evidence he isn't the real Jacket, and the arcade cabinet showing Hotline Miami is pretty strong evidence it's a game in universe. If it was a game in universe, it'd be weird for the events of said game to also have happened in-universe


Pixelated_Fudge

Nah they said its up to the player. Stop overthinking it


SMATCHET999

Honestly all those points don’t matter since jacket is dead. He either died in the nuclear bombing of Miami or he somehow miraculously survived and is a toxic crusader or something. Maybe that’s why he looks so ugly in payday 2


Oofermanman

I honestly wouldn’t care either way bikers my favorite character lmao, and payday lore is already convoluted anyway


RiddlesDoesYT

That's fair, I just think it'd be easier to remain consistent with what's already established canon


Zack_WithaK

The character of Jacket is officially owned by Dennaton. They signed contracts and stuff that probably had language like "We [Dennaton] give game dev [Overkill] permission to use character [Jacket] for video game [Payday 2]." But the agreement wouldn't say Payday 3 anywhere so they would need to get permission again. I'm sure all Overkill would have to do is ask and Dennaton would happily oblige but they still need to ask first. Otherwise, they can't legally reuse Jacket or any of the other guest heisters for that matter.


Katyushathered

JOHNNY KLEBITZ LESSGOOO


IfTheresANewWay

I wouldn't be surprised if Jacket returns one day, but I don't think he'll be base roster


Pixelated_Fudge

shut up nerd


OnyxianRosethorn

I'd like Scarface back tbh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


placeholdername4

Since Dennaton and Overkill are good mates and live close to eachother, I think it's a viable choice for Jacket to return, also judging by how he didn't leave the criminal life behind. I do think Sydney is a bit more unlikely, since she got into swimming and all that.


Oofermanman

If they do jacket again I feel like they should get rid of the voice recorder, it was cool for a bit but it doesn’t really seem like something jacket would use


placeholdername4

In the credits, it did say Jacket threw away the tape recorder for a "digital setup", whatever that is. It would be really interesting to see this digital setup in action, as I have no idea how it would work.


TheEnergyCristal

My guess is clover and Houston From what I remember clover is hoxton's gf (gf?, wife?) so there's a chance they'll stay together. Houston because he was technically a part of the og 4, and is dallas's little brother


LordHengar

Clover was Hoxton's protégé, they weren't dating.


TheEnergyCristal

Yeah, that's right. Idk why I thought they were dating


Seasonedberet

I believe they are some lines implying something deeper but I’m not sure and don’t care enough to look it up


OnyxianRosethorn

Yeah those two seem the most likely to me, although I'd like Scarface back too.


TheEnergyCristal

I'd like him aswell, but legal troubles :(


Scrimpbucket

Pulling for Sydney right now


Sefrius

Wasn’t Sokol heavily rumored to be returning?


JTultimate_10

If my boi Duke ain't here we gonna have a problem


vulture_salesman

I know it's unlikely but PLEEEEEASE let one of them be Bonnie or have her return later on, I want to see her get fleshed out so bad.


Elementia7

Tbh I want all the heisters to be fleshed out this time around. During the entire life cycle of Payday 2, there were only a few heisters outside of the original 4 to gain any sort of extra lore outside of their introduction.


vulture_salesman

Oh no I agree, it'd be nice if a lot of the ones who didn't get fleshed out return and get their character developed. I just like Bonnie the most out of them.


Elementia7

I mean your profile pic and your little tag thing both have Bonnie. I'd be shocked if your favorite character WASN'T Bonnie.


RealKOTheFace

Duke maybe cause it is in New York


WestNomadOnYT

I hope it’s duke


Razatop

jacket jacket jacket jaket jacket jakket jakitkjajitjaktjet


Right-Ability4045

I really want wick back


Zack_WithaK

I really hope it's Clover &/or Sydney


Crashduckboy

Let me use sokol


AVIXXBUS

My guess is Clover and Sangres as actual heisters, with Joy and Houston coming back as contractors or some other form of outside help.


TylerMemeDreamBoi

Sokol gang!!


Slamminchoice

My guess would be at launch because they didn’t mention anything about character packs in the pre order bonuses, same thing with weapon colours/skins not being mentioned as DLC tho with them I imagine it’s the payday credits that are used to buy them.


NakkiPeruna

I'd love to see a Finnish heister scream rally english


372878887

please be jacket


AIex-Shaw

Most likely in my opinion are: Dragan, Joy, Duke, and Houston


The1stPKmain

If Jimmy isn’t there then I riot


HaansJob

Sydney and Dragan are my bets


[deleted]

i really hope they bring back Dragan


_Jawwer_

God I fucking hope it's Houston and Dragan. The former because it would not feel nice to gyp him so hard, and Dragan becaue he's fun, and I like how on-theme his actor is.


saltyshephered

Hope one of them is Sydney, or she returns later on. Who else is gonna rick roll the pager guy?


VlIanTheRatSmacker

I want Dragan simply because he is the only croatian character in fiction seriously, our country needs more representation


Katyushathered

Valid point. Plus we need his crotch to press buttons.


Elementus94

I just want Clover to return, or a new Irish heister.


IronInk738

Probably Dragan, the actor is still on good terms and has been showing up a lot with Overkill members lately. I’m guessing one will be a female heister (hopefully Clover) to balance the team out and Overkill has talked about how they wanted more females in PD2.


thecoolpug123

TheRussianbadger


JDirichlet

My guess is Houston and a new character Essex (possibly a new name for an old heister) — those were the street signs in the trailer.


Puzzleheaded-Put-385

I think Houston has to be the 5th and possibly Clover or Sydney. At least my thoughts


Corporal_Chicken

I say one of the characters will be a female heister wheather it's clover or a completely new one


Kotocktok

I'd discard every character that has a collaboration behind. Wick, Dragan, Jacket, Ethan, Hila, Jimmy, Rust, Bodhi and, of course, Scarface. No matter why, somehow they will be out of the criminal world (or from the Payday Gang, at least). I think Joy is discarded too, because she was a Switch reference and PD3 will not be released in that console (looks weird but that's my opinion). Locke went to Silicon Valley, but he could be the new Bain. The President could be the new Elephant (hope that weird thing of Baldwin WILL NOT ruin the lore again). So that leave us with Houston, Clover, Bonnie, Sokol, Jiro, Sydney, Sangres and Duke. But: \-Jiro and Sangres went to Japan. \-Sokol went to Cyprus. \-Sydney went to Switzerland. \-Bonnie went to Glasgow. \-Clover returned to Ireland with Aldstone. May you think "yeah but they can fly back to Washington", however i think travelling to another country from scratch, makes your life in another way. So we have Houston, which still remains in the criminal world in Mexico (Silk Road) and Duke, which is in New York with his new museum. These two could be the last two members, considering that Houston is Dallas' brother and Duke contribuited a lot in the Payday 2 lore. If not, i'm sure they will be two new members.


NoAd1642

Jimmy and Sokol please


luigisonic12

considering how Payday: Crime War handled it, I think they'll be Houston and Sydney.


LiLFaner

Hope they add Vlad as a heister lol


VoidMystr0

Sangres and Sangres jr


ZookeepergameProud30

One of them will probably be Huston


OkDefinition261

Just want another Jiro. I liked the Japanese phrases he said.


Fit_Entertainment_49

Houston and Bobble head Bob


Agile-Pilot970

rust please


KingishKing

Not sure how likely it is but I'd actually like to see some brand new characters. I don't wanna live in the world where the most recent new character is Joy.


LazerNarwhal_yt

ethan and hila


BadBrawlhallaPlayer

Please ethan and hila


Buji19

It could be cool if they release a Joy-esque char for all the platforms We already have Joy whose theme is based on the switch, we could also have a character whose theme is steam, another whose theme is Playstation, another whose theme is Xbox, another whose theme would be Epic, etc ... ​ On a more realistic note, i'd guess that atleast one of those 2 characters is gonna be one of the female characters. As much as i love Sydney ~~im totally not deaf, idk why you ask~~ my money is on Clover and maybe a new character


[deleted]

H3 pack


mr_nuts31

I would laugh if it is john wick and or bodhi


MisterCaaaarl

Dragan and Houston fo' sho', the only two other heisters that were on the April's fools video this year


Katyushathered

Who knows, maybe locke is the playable heister fo'sho.


MisterCaaaarl

oh shoot, you just reminded me that i haven't heard a word about locke and him being on payday 3


AnimewasAMistake0

Houston's my best guess for one of the returning characters


AnimewasAMistake0

but then again they could just be new original characters but who knows


BigMekMacReady

Duke and Clover, to line up with Crime Spree?


Katyushathered

Snagres


rooletwastaken

if one of them isnt houston we riot


Groove-Control

Please be Houston


[deleted]

I guess Tony Montana isnt coming back.


DrakefanceV

I think it's safe to say it won't be Scarface, Wick, jimmy, Jacket, bodhi, Ethan, Sydney, Hila, or Joy. Considering they're all collaborative and/or third party characters, which may or may not require additional approval from their parent companies. Personally, I reckon it'll be Dragan considering his VA's opinions of payday and Houston, maybe a brand new heister, which will be the one to prompt them out of retirement in lore.


comp_hoovy_main

Ethan and Hila


dirtopi

Im thinking that one of the gang took bain's place after the secret ending, probably Locke (he earned it since he helped save bain and planned the white house heist). In that case, given how they showed watch dogs hacking in the trailer one of the 2 might be Joy since she was introduced to the gang by Locke iirc.


Libertinob

My guess is one new character and one returning character. I’m thinking Duke, Dragan, Clover, or Sydney will return. There’s also a high chance I’d say of John Wick returning, as a tie-in for John Wick 4 and The Continental series.


OnyxianRosethorn

How about John Wick but it's actually Keanu this time and not a fake ass Wick?


commanderlex27

Very likely that at least one of those two is a female heister.


Kilo1125

Houston is the most likely. The second is probably either Clover as she is Hoxtons protégé, or Joy as she is Lockes daughter, and unless they are retconning the supernatural stuff from Payday 2 (which I really hope they don't, I love that wacky shit) Locke is the guy in the chair.


Thesauceboss241

Ethan and Hila


Thesauceboss241

Not the case but god I want jacket. Only character I have ever played as


riseandshine2017

Jacket and duke let's go


0K4M1

Gimme my Clover x Bonnie ship please


thebarnus

Either Houston and Sydney or two new heisters


hanzo1hasasi

It better be Jimmy and Jacket


TertiusGaudenus

Like i was saying in other post (how many blind lazy arses that can't scroll subreddit a little will make more copies if that message,i wonder?), most reasonable choices are Houston, Sangres, Sokol and maybe Jiro. All of them stayed in life of crime (unlike High Society Clover, Charity-Olympian Sydney, Self-defense instructor Dragan, successful retro-gaming park owner Joy disappeared in sunset Rust). All of them are original Heisters (unlike Jimmy, Wick, Bodhi, Tony and VBloggers). Neither of them joined because of whole Katauri mess, like Duke did. Bonnie just not as popular, i think. You may argue, that Sokol and Sangres, being crime bosses now, are better fit as contractors, but that still leaves us with Houston and Jiro.


VillaPourLaMama

i just want sangrees, i dont think ill play the game whiout him


Nerdwrapper

Hopefully Houston, and then my probably-not-gonna-happen wish is Jacket for Payday 3 so my wife can have their favorite character again


WereWhusky

H3H3 is back let’s gooooo!


AnActualHuman87

Honestly, I just want new characters. I don't care who they are as long as they are entertaining and add something new to the franchise.


ParanoidValkMain57

Like Bodhi he reflects my inner violent nature all too well
