PAYDAY 3 Closed Beta Trial Thoughts: The mechanism and gameplay are interesting but not friendly to novices｜The masterpiece “PAYDAY 3” that fans of first-person shooters or “robbery” games are looking forward to is scheduled for September 21 The game will be launched on 1st, and the game has recently opened a close beta technical test. The “Hong Kong 01” technology plaything channel was also invited to participate. The following is the demo report.
Novices are very difficult to play, want to try to sneak in but it is not easy
Ashamed to say, the reporter has never played the PAYDAY series, and is not good at playing first-person shooter games; the following is not going to be specific, but just talk about my impressions after playing as a person who first came into contact with PAYDAY.
The reporter’s feeling after the trial play can be described in four words: “in a hurry”: in this closed test, although the game description mentioned that players can choose to complete the task by stealth or frontal robbery, but probably because of technical In relation to the beta test, the game does not have any novice guidance or teaching at all: it does not explain to players the difference between before and after wearing a mask, nor does it mention important settings such as the difference between public areas, private areas, and security areas.

Test level “Never Peaceful Day”
In this test, only one level “Never Peaceful Day” is provided (but there are multiple difficulties to challenge), but before the start of the mission, there is no briefing, bank floor plan and other information, and there is no preview of the robbery process for the player: Generally speaking, it is assumed that you To rob a bank, you must have a detailed plan, such as what steps to take if you want to sneak in, what anti-theft measures are in place, and the door locks to be unlocked; To any unexpected situation (I didn’t know there would be a roadblock near the bank…) and so on.

But in this trial, there is no prior information about the task at all. The player is like a bank robber who has no preparations (except for equipment). What to do, you can only wait for the correspondent’s instructions and then find a way to execute it.
Also because there was no advance information, it took a long time to confirm how many floors the bank had, which floor the target was on, and where the stairs were when I played for the first time; Under the information, it is basically impossible to successfully complete the stealth-type gameplay at one time, so you can only try a few more times until you figure out the correct way to sneak in.
Or because this is a close beta mainly for technical testing,Probably the official also took the players who participated in the test this time as series experiencers/enthusiasts (which is also very reasonable), and it is normal that there is no novice teaching; I believe that there will be more complete teaching and guidance in the public beta and the official version. .Here I just want to emphasize that PAYDAY is not a simple game, new players need to spend time to understand and learn.

The mechanism is rich and the gameplay is interesting. The picture is not good, but it also lowers the threshold
Although the above said that many novices don’t know how to play the game at all, but after you start to understand the game system, you will find the game interesting. There are many mechanisms for players to use, so that players can complete the robbery in a unique way: for example, in stealth (Civilian state), players can perform various operations such as unlocking, stealing items, hacking CCTV, etc., so that they can enter the vault to steal cash. After triggering the alarm and turning it into a frontal robbery, players can also use hostages to exchange supplies with the police or delay the attack time.
For players who like to “shoot guns”, the new “overkill weapon” added in this episode will be great news: this can be understood as a “big skill”. You can press Z to start and call out a heavy weapon with powerful firepower (the reporter tried a howitzer). Although the only mission goal is to “grab money and leave”, the way to achieve it is that all roads lead to Rome, it only depends on whether your technology and configuration can be realized.
As for the game graphics, it’s really not outstanding, and it’s only at the middle level for games in 2023; however, the PAYDAY series is not originally a work that is commanded by graphics, and the mediocre picture quality means that the game does not need a powerful e-sports PC. In order to play, it is easier for players to enter the game, and it can also ensure a higher and more stable frame rate.

The skill tree system has been overhauled
The skill system in PAYDAY 3 has ushered in major changes. The previous game PAYDAY 2 had a very large and complex skill tree. Players need to allocate points for the skills they want one by one (and even consider how many points a skill needs). In this episode, it is changed to “Occupation”. In this test, a total of 17 occupational skills are released. Each occupation will be upgraded as the player uses it. After reaching the full level, all skills under the occupation will be released.
Players can equip up to 4 professions at the same time, so each player’s configuration is to choose 4 of the 17 professions he likes to equip, instead of considering whether to order skills one by one like in the past. Although choosing 4 from 17 seems very simple, in fact, if you choose 4 from 17, there are already more than 2000 combinations (17c4 = 2380), and the game has a great chance to add more occupations in the future, the playability and changes are still very sufficient .
Summary: fun but hard to play
Although the reporter has no experience in the PAYDAY series, he also thinks that PAYDAY 3 is a very interesting and potential work during the brief trial period. However, it should be noted that according to other trial reports on the Internet, the game has been developed a lot compared to PAYDAY 2. Simplified and user-friendly design, but overall it is still very difficult to play. It is not the kind of work that can be played smoothly as soon as you jump in; it is best to find two or three friends to study how to “rob the bank” together. If you are stuck, you need to be mentally prepared to spend a certain amount of time alone learning the game mechanics.
