The gang is back, and they have bigger and better plans. Objective based cooperative FPS became more complicated. The classic group of Hoxton, Dallas, Chains and Wolf got reinforcement, and now Payday Gang consists of 21 heisters, some of which are based on movie characters or even Youtubers.

✓ Both are tactical first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and deep simulation

≠ Where it differs: brings early access, while skipping deep RPG systems

A tactical shooter aiming for pre-Vegas Rainbow Six: lethal, slow, no regenerating health. That intent is clear and the appeal is real for the audience it targets. The execution is not — it released visibly unfinished, with broken AI, minimal mission variety and no save system, and it was widely criticised on those grounds.

The vehicle modelling is the draw: aircraft, tanks and ships with per-component damage, and simulator modes that go far beyond arcade handling. Free to start. The grind is the well-known cost — progression slows sharply at higher tiers, repair costs punish bad matches, and the pressure toward premium purchases becomes hard to ignore.

Wall-running and thrust jumps make it the most mobile campaign in the series, and the four-player co-op campaign is a genuine structural change. Zombies is at its most elaborate here. The story is close to incomprehensible, the campaign is the weakest part of the package, and the PC version's supply-drop economy drew heavy criticism.

The peak of the cover-based Rainbow Six era: squad orders are quick to issue, the rappel-through-window breach is still satisfying, and Terrorist Hunt is the mode that kept it alive for years. The story is throwaway and reuses locations from the first game, and the tactical depth is far shallower than the pre-Vegas entries.
