Payday 2 Update Brings John Wick as a Playable Character

Lionsgate and Overkill Software have paired up to bring us John Wick as a playable character in Payday 2 in a very unexpected display of cross-promotion. Today, a new free DLC will bring John Wick, the new “Hitman” perk deck, a new pistol and knife, and three new sunglasses customizations to Payday 2.

John Wick comes as a playable character to reward Payday 2 players for reaching 1.5 Million members in the official Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the DLC, those who purchase a ticket to John Wick through Fandango will receive a steam download code for Payday 2.

The community’s response to the DLC has been mixed, are you excited for the new character or would you rather Overkill stuck to the original gang?
