Looking for something to do over the weekend? Give Payday 2, the co-op heist shooter a try for free this weekend – if you do end up enjoying it, the game is running for 50% off.

If you aren’t familiar with any of the Payday games – it’s basically a first-person co-op heist simulator. You and a 3 others (or less) have to work together using specialised perks, skill sets, customisable weapons, equipment and armour to make your way around a variety of really brilliantly designed levels with the final goal of banking cash to your offshore account. You select your missions based on a program called “crimenet” which showcases the different lobbies highlighting difficulties, lengths of heists and payouts.

‘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 DC for an epic crime spree. 

The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and run a few political errands?’

Head on over to Steam and grab Payday 2 for only $4.99, here.
