"Payday 2" new microtransactions has angered the gaming community and as well the fans who have been following the game since day one. The game developer is not talking about the reason for the move.
Starbreeze Studios has released a new feature of "Payday 2" which is a microtransaction system. In the game you will get random-filled safes which will require drills. The drills will need real money for it to open. This has angered the gaming community and also the fans.

"Vlad's brand new Weapons Deal lets you bring out the very best in your favorite guns with a huge update to the Black Market," reads the update on Overkillsoftware. "This Weapons Deal opens up a brand new way of allowing you to personalize your weapons with skins, mods and more!"
The website has an explanation on how the feature works. After paying for the "Payday 2" new microtransactions system, you can now open the safe with the special drill. The player who opens it will now get a randomly selected weapon skin. The skin will add new abilities to their gun. A player can also trade the skins in the Steam Community, according to Geeksnack.
The "Payday 2" new microtransactions system arrived just in time for an event of "Payday 2" which is the "Crimefest". This event is the annual ten day event for the game. During the span of ten days, the event will bring daily updates and rewards for the player, according to VG247.
