Becoming Monstrous - Reach the twenty-fifth rank of Infamy. |
"Echelon" Suit I once knew a guy who worked in the intelligence community. He told me they mostly made up their own missions. They usually amounted to getting their hands on untraceable cash to keep for themselves. And they dressed kind of cool. |
Shit Just Got Real - Complete all contracts on the Very Hard difficulty or above. |
"Very Hard Skull" Weapon Charm Yeah, you’ve done an alright job, I guess. You deserve a little something. |
Completely OVERKILL! - Complete all contracts on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
"OVERKILL Skull" Weapon Charm I’ll trust you to be the lookout while I do the heavy lifting. Seems like you know a thing or two about the heisting business. |
Master of Mayhem - Complete all contracts on the Mayhem difficulty or above. |
"Mayhem Skull" Weapon Charm Okay, I’ll put some respect on your name. You’re on crowd control, and I’ll take the vault. |

"One Down Skull" Weapon Charm Alright, you’re the best heister I’ve ever seen, hands down. If you want to add some extra risk to get the adrenaline going, I’m with you all the way. |
The End - Complete a certain feat in PAYDAY 2. |
"Fleur-De-lis" Gloves From adorning Gaulish coins to gracing the helmets of Scythian kings, this ancient symbol persists. Some believe it holds secrets, but in the end, the mystery it might reveal is in the eye of the beholder. |
