PAYDAY: The Heist

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a career criminal who participates in high-stakes heists. As players execute each crime (e.g., bank robberies, armored car hijackings), they use machine guns and explosives to kill human enemies—including police officers, agents, and security guards. The frenetic firefights are accompanied by realistic gunfire, explosions, and screams of pain. Large blood-splatter effects occur when characters are shot, and blood stains are often depicted on the ground and surrounding environment. Some missions require players to take civilians hostage, and players have the ability to shoot civilians—though killing these characters is penalized and may impede players' progress. The game contains occasional drug references (e.g., “Let's slip into our roles in this little drug deal charade . . . those junkies won't know what hit 'em until it's too late.”), as well as drug-related imagery (e.g., a poster with a marijuana leaf; a table filled with bags of white powder). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “c*cksucker” can be heard in the dialogue.
