Players can maintain several different build slots, and any can be adjusted or fully respec'd (reset and rebuilt from the ground up) at any time outside of an actual heist. The player purchases these skills using skill points earned by leveling up from XP gained in heists.

Finally, Ghost skills are those involved with evading detection and defeating security measures. Technician skills include setting gun turrets, carrying shaped explosive charges, and SMG use. Enforcer skills hover around "tanking", shotguns and heavy weapons.

Mastermind skills involve pistol and assault rifle use, and include converting police officers to defend the players. There are four classes of skills, which can be mixed and matched to customize one's build: Mastermind, Enforcer, Ghost and Technician. The rarest of weapon skins have functional bonuses. Rewards include cash, which is used for a variety of purposes including buying weapons and decorating masks weapon mods, which come in great variety and can be used to significantly enhance weapon performance new masks and safes, which contain weapon skins. Each mission can be completed at seven different degrees of difficulty, from "Normal" at the low end to "Death Wish" at the hardest, with consequently greater rewards. A quiet mission gone wrong immediately becomes a loud mission as police converge on the area and their assault begins. Players can either use stealth to avoid detection and the attention of police officers, completing heists "quietly", or they can "go loud", guns blazing, for an extended combat engagement with police followed by an escape. The game, broadly speaking, is played in one of two modes. Much like the original, the player can rob banks, jewelry stores and the like, but can also take part in operations that can last several days and include a considerable variety of objectives, such as stealing art from a museum, moving drugs, destroying evidence or money, and engaging in wanton destruction of property to complete a mission. It is the follow-up to Payday: The Heist where, once again, players can engage in heists of varying degree of difficulties as members of the Payday Crew.
