  • A new weapon, the Micro Uzi along with 5 new weapon modifications

"Jiro is finally here along with his trusted Katana sword and Micro Uzi. Actor Togo Igawa did a fantastic job at bringing Jiro alive in PAYDAY 2 and I'm confident that all the PAYDAY fans across the globe will come to enjoy his addition to the PAYDAY crew as much as we do. I'm extra proud that we had Jiro speak 100% Japanese to make it feel as authentic as possible - Japanese is a beautiful language." said Almir Listo, Global Brand Director of Starbreeze Studios.
