Payday 2: Crimewave

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a bank robber for hire who takes on various heists/jobs. Players traverse a modern city and earn skill points and experience on their way to becoming elite criminals. Players use pistols, machine guns, and sniper rifles to shoot and kill various human characters (e.g., rival gangs and police/SWAT team members). Players have the ability to shoot random civilians, but there is a penalty for doing so. Combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and large blood-splatter effects. Some weapons (e.g., explosive vest) can cause enemies and/or hostages to explode, resulting in chunks of flesh strewn around game environments. During the course of the game, some paintings and drawings depict women in suggestive poses and/or revealing outfits. Some missions require interaction with drugs: in one mission, players cook and defend batches of methamphetamine (“meth”); another mission requires players to guard and transport large bags of cocaine. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.
