Starbreeze AB, an independent creator, publisher and distributor

introduction of Steam Economy to its action packed co-op shooter
PAYDAY 2, also marking the start of the 2015 Crimefest Community
Event.
On Thursday the Black Market: Vlads Weapon Deal update will go
live which will add new random item drops as you play PAYDAY 2.
When a player receives a
Safe, the player can purchase a
Drill for 2,19€ / 2,49$ that can then be used
to open the safe. When the safe opens, the player receives a weapon
skin item of varying quality that can be used, traded or sold using
the
Steam Community Market. The community driven
marketplace decides the value on each item bought or sold.
At launch, the Black Market Update comes with two safes, the
Crimefest II and the Sputnik, see more about the safes here:
