* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8CMPB03-pw Death Wish]] trailer itself, which featurs an LMG reloading battle to the muted part of the eponymous track Death Wish, the music reaching a crescendo as they load and lock a new box mag. There are no character voices - it's all in-engine and all power.

* Plan C of the Election Day heist once again shows how far ahead Bain thinks. To keep suspicion off of the Elephant for rigging the voting process, you have to wreck the voting machines. Before that, Bain has you scramble the database that contains the votes so that there won't be any back up data. You then blow a hole in a wall to access a bank next door, which not only destroys the voting machines, but the stunt has you robbing the bank so the cops think you were just robbing the place rather than tampering with votes.

** Day 1 goes almost exactly as depicted in the trailer, starting with the crew blowing up the wall beside Hoxton and his two guards. They escourt him to the pickup, only its' armoured up now and the crew have to work their way through the blockaded streets to the parking garage, dealing with road hazards and wave upon wave of police as they go. Upon reaching the garage, the crew has to locate and hack the computer within to drop the bollards on the ramp to get to the other end of the garage, where they remove the armour from the pickup for a speedy getaway.
** Day 2 sees Hoxton instruct the crew to ''attack the [=FBI=]'' head on, by getting the driver to ram his way into their front office. Within, Hoxton hacks into their database in order to find out who the informant was that ratted out Hoxton to the Feds, done in four parts with the police still sending wave after wave of officers against you. With map-provided medkits and ammo thanks to the [=FBIs=] own private medical room and armoury, this is one massive gunfight spread all over the building, with the crew running various errands for Hoxton to help him get the information he needs. Finally, the crew pulls a server from the computer with all the info Hoxton has found on it, and legs it back to the getaway driver who's found a set of FBI wheels for you to escape in.

* In celebration of the game receiving its 100th update, Overkill announced that they severed all ties with 505 Games and that Starbreeze, Overkill's parent company, had purchased full rights to the PAYDAY franchise, meaning the developers are no longer under the whim of 505's ExecutiveMeddling (which was the reason why the game had so much DLC and microtransactions). To further sweeten the news, the devs also announced that all safes released from now on can be unlocked for free without the need of a drill while all the old safes still need a drill. For the massive flop Overkill made, the news of the developers ditching their publishers that pushed the microtransactions and the cheap [=DLC=] was welcoming to hear. And even on top of that Starbreeze announced that there's plans to support ''PAYDAY 2'' for ''another'' 18 months and given the details of the purchasing agreement with 505 ''PAYDAY 3'' was indirectly referenced to being a thing in the works.

That's right, [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Scarface]] himself is now a member of the PAYDAY crew. The new heist? Hitting Montana's manor to assassinate Ernesto Sosa, nephew of the BigBad of the film. And yes, Tony comes with an assault rifle with grenade launcher named "Little Friend".

* The True Ending. After certain requirements are met, the gang ends up finding a hidden vault underneath the White House. After managing to solve its puzzle, all the while being bombarbed by literal demon Cloakers, and finding a strange device within, the Dentist arrives with Bain and Locke, captured, and Mayan gold, threatening to kill them both. Sounds bad, right? Well, he's alone, and doesn't make any attempt to cover himself, and afterwards, if you manage to put the gold in quick enough, it unlocks...well, the True Ending, where most of the gang successfully retires. How? Well, the device in the vault seemingly reincarnates Bain as...''the motherfucking President.'' Bain basically steals the entirety of the United States. The Greatest Heist of All, indeed.

* Any of the live-action sequences when one of the gang is saving one or more of the others' respective sorry carcasses (Wolf gets special mention for drilling some new holes into a Dozer). Or in-game, for that matter, since one of the most important core skills a good group needs is the ability to save each other's butts at a moment's notice. Probably doubles for what passes for a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming for this series too.

* Meta example: The community, despite having been shaved down immensely, still managed to solve each component of the Beyond Yesterday AlternateRealityGame in less than a day after each encryption showed up. What makes this even more stunning is that the decryption keys are very obscure (for example, Garrett's reply is encoded with a key referring to a very specific number related to the second in units of time, minus ten, the amendments in the Bill of Rights) - meaning that some ridiculously proficient detective work was being done in the process.

* The heist dealing with the rat himself. Going in quietly means you get to kill the rat without him becoming none the wiser and steal evidence that is incriminating to the crew. Not only does the quiet method lets the crew get their revenge without alerting anybody, but it also makes the FBI look grossly inept at their jobs since their valued informant just got killed right under their noses. If you choose to do the job loud (or get caught early during stealth), you get to storm the place and drill into the panic room as you listen to the rat fruitlessly taunt you before you kill him once the door opens. Either way, Hoxton is getting the revenge he deserves.

* The Henry's Rock heist has to count for something in context, considering you're going to the very heart of Murkywater itself, swarming with veritable armies of both your usual adversaries and PMC goons, where some of the world's most powerful secrets and valuable treasures are held in absolute secret, and ''raiding'' it for two of its most prized relics. It's a little like robbing Area 51 for alien tech, just as difficult, and about as rewarding when it's all said and done.

* [[HarderThanHard Provided you're a capable crew]], pulling off a Death Wish or a One Down heist qualifies, especially if it's multi-day and/or PRO. It's one thing to win on OVERKILL mode, but to take it further and win when the the odds are deliberately stacked against you and computer is taking ludicrous liberties (e.g. blowing the ''Rats: Day 1'' meth lab [[NoFairCheating nukes the map]]) can feel pretty damn fantastic.n
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8CMPB03-pw Death Wish]] trailer itself, which featurs an LMG reloading battle to the muted part of the eponymous track Death Wish, the music reaching a crescendo they load and lock a new box mag. There are no character voices - it's all in-engine and all power.

* Bain might be the epitome of AffablyEvil when it comes to his interactions with the PAYDAY Gang and his Crime.Net contacts, but make no mistake-- he's not a man you ever want to ''truly'' piss off, especially if he's paying you. To drive this point home, one rare random event during GO Bank (the Plan B route), has him go ballistic when the pilot he's hired to evacuate the loot balks at using the bank's roof as a pickup point for the fulton skyhook, making it VERY clear to the pilot what will happen to him if he dares to disobey-- successfully making the pilot obey his orders for the rest of the heist without further complaint.
--> '''Bain''': Do as you're told, goddamn it! I can shut down every airport for a thousand miles and have you ditched in the ocean, you spineless turd. Over.

* Getting all the bags in Rats on [[HarderThanHard Death Wish]]. This involves cooking every bag of meth, getting the money from the gang AND stealing the meth back, and then getting all of the money from the transport and getting it into the helicopter. Any team who can pull this off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpH_HgPuFR4 has earned themselves a place in the Heister Hall Of Fame]].

* In celebration of the game receiving its 100th update, Overkill announced that they severed all ties with 505 Games and that Starbreeze, Overkill's parent company, had purchased full rights to the PAYDAY franchise, meaning the developers are no longer under the whim of 505's ExecutiveMeddling (which was the reason why the game had so much DLC and microtransactions). To further sweeten the news, the devs also announced that all safes released from now on can be unlocked for free without the need of a drill while all the old safes still need a drill. For the massive flop Overkill made, the news of the developers ditching their publishers that pushed the microstransactions and the cheap [=DLC=] was welcoming to hear. And even on top of that Starbreeze announced that there's plans to support ''PAYDAY 2'' for ''another'' 18 months and given the details of the purchasing agreement with 505 ''PAYDAY 3'' was indirectly referenced to being a thing in the works.

** And said two-day heist culminates in stealing a device off of a train. No, not a stationary one conveniently parked like so many times before; we're talking a Western-style shootout leaping between moving train cars while helicopters and SWAT trucks swoop in to shoot you down.

* The other Point Break Heist, Under The Mountain, is more of a meatgrinder. Then the crew exits on the side of a mountain to disable a radar dish and you get a good enough view to realize you just robbed a mercenary-controlled ColdWar bunker that looks like something out of ''Film/JamesBond''.

Added the Biker Heist Day 2 as an awesome moment just because... well, I thought it was really awesome.
