5. The Variety of Weapons and Customizable Loadouts.

Your weapon is your baby – your shooty, blasty baby. Dress it up, name it, and take it out to play.

Assault rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, shot guns, grenade launchers, sub-machine guns, light machine guns, even things like a power saw or a bow all comprise Payday 2's extensive armory; each weapon coming with a variety of mods to tweak them to your needs. The game started with only 40 different weapons, and is now overflowing with all types. And while DLCs usually introduce new thematic weapons, old staples like the CAR-4, available to everyone, remains one of the most versatile and effective weapons a clown could need.
