The Armored Transport DLC introduces two new heists to PAYDAY 2: Armored Transport: Downtown and Armored Transport: Park. Both heists are designed for four players, and they can be played on any difficulty level.

Armored Transport: Downtown

The Armored Transport: Downtown heist takes place in the heart of Washington D.C. The crew must ambush an armored transport that is transporting a large sum of money. The heist is divided into two parts:

  • Part 1: The crew must fight their way through waves of police and special forces to reach the armored transport. They must use cover and teamwork to take down the enemies and avoid being overwhelmed.
  • Part 2: Once the crew has reached the armored transport, they must plant explosives on the back of the vehicle. They must then defend the explosives from the police while they wait for them to detonate.

Armored Transport: Park

The Armored Transport: Park heist takes place in a public park in Washington D.C. The crew must target an armored transport that is parked in the park. The heist is divided into two parts:
