The skins in this safe let you apply a great retro style for a fest of crime." —Black Market Update announcement site. The CrimeFest 2 safe's skins' general theme is video games. The CrimeFest 2 safe is the only safe to have two skins with the same name, with its Locomotive 12G and Judge skins possessing the name Greed. The 3000 heists/min skin's texture is an 8-bit version of the CRIME.NET screen. The Bullet Breakout skin is a reference to The Matrix and the eponymous program's code, also known as "digital rain". Additionally, its name, and stickers on the skin depicting Hoxton hacking a computer, are references to Hoxton Breakout. The binary code on its pattern translated into text says "mayonnaisemayonnaise". The Cloakerize skin uses the "Cloaker-ghost" sprites from the Road to Crimefest website. The Plainsrider Bow's The Link skin is a reference to The Legend of Zelda series and the main protagonist of the series. The skin itself resembles the bow in the Legend of Zelda game Skyward Sword prior to upgrades. The Midas Touch, according to an FBI File e-mail, was a reward given to a famous gamer named Adam Goodwin from a rodeo front for a gang, who went on to be an infamous criminal part of said gang, most notorious for shooting guns out of policemen's hands.

Sputnik

Sputnik

Collect the Sputnik Safe, slap on some brand new skins and mow down your enemy. Like angry bear!" —Black Market Update announcement site. Much of the skins obtainable from this safe bear either Space or Russia/Communism-themed names, with the "Space set" consisting of the Helmet Space Program and Cosmonaut and the "Communism set" containing the Red Stars, Angry Bear, Matrjoschka, and Bullet Bear Gun. St. Basil refers to the St. Basil's Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, a famous church in Moscow, Russia, most notable for the ornate onion domes atop its roofs, which are depicted in the skin on the weapon's fuel canister. Matrjoschka is the German version of Matryoshka, a popular type of Russian nesting dolls. It is unclear why the developers went with this slightly unpopular iteration rather than the standard form of the name. The Vlad's Rodina, according to an FBI File e-mail citing a blog named "Untold War Stories of Eastern Europe" by "Oleksandr Marchenko", was an AK with a bloody history, first in the hands of a Private who was court-martialed for killing two of his own squad with it, then given its name by a "Sergeant Zaytsev" after single-handedly fighting off an ambush with it in the Battle of Grozny (whether this refers to the 1994-1995 battle, 1996 battle, or 1999-2000 battle is unclear, though it's possible all three were merged into a single six-year battle in the PAYDAY universe), and finally finding its way into Vlad's hands while in a Russian mob. The rifle allegedly has an unquenchable thirst for blood. A decorative sticker depicting the St. Basil's Cathedral can be seen on the skin's upper handguard.

And we’re making that achievement extra appealing for 30 days, as earning it will drop the First World Safe AND Drill into your inventory!" —Crimefest 2015 Day 8 website page. Four of the skins obtainable from this safe are references to the Secret mask set of PAYDAY: The Heist, with the Yggdrasil corresponding to the design on Chains' mask, the Beta-2 to Dallas', the Fleur de Lys to Hoxton's, and the Wolf Ornament is rather self-explanatory. The rest of the skins bar the Classic Tiles are references to Au Ticket, the mini-community event that introduced the First World Safe, and as such bear gold-related names. Ausome is a pun on "awesome" and "Au", the symbol for gold on the periodic table. The Midas Touch, according to an FBI File e-mail, was a reward given to a famous gamer named Adam Goodwin from a rodeo front for a gang, who went on to be an infamous criminal part of said gang, most notorious for shooting guns out of policemen's hands.

While you’re there doing your thing, Vlad has a little task for you. He wants you to find the marked pig, secure it in a container and then finish the heist on OVERKILL or above. In return, he’ll give you a drill and a Slaughter safe. No, he didn’t say why. And yes, we didn’t ask him either. Doing this, you’ll get the Pork Royale achievement. You’ll get the extra reward for 30 days. Earning it will drop the Slaughter Safe AND drill into your inventory." —Crimefest 2015 Day 10 website page. Most of the skins in this set are themed after either the Assault Wave HUD, "Assault in Progress" being visibly displayed on the Deagle and JP36's skins, or bloody carnage, fitting the setting where the skins' safe is unlocked. The Vlad's Rodina, according to an FBI File e-mail citing a blog named "Untold War Stories of Eastern Europe" by "Oleksandr Marchenko", was an AK with a bloody history, first in the hands of a Private who was court-martialed for killing two of his own squad with it, then given its name by a "Sergeant Zaytsev" after single-handedly fighting off an ambush with it in the Battle of Grozny (whether this refers to the 1994-1995 battle, 1996 battle, or 1999-2000 battle is unclear, though it's possible all three were merged into a single six-year battle in the PAYDAY universe), and finally finding its way into Vlad's hands while in a Russian mob.

The Completely OVERKILL Safe will come bundled with a Completely OVERKILL Safe Drill, that opens the safe." —Update #90 announcement site. Most of the skins from the Completely Overkill safe are themed after hyper-violence, fitting the term "overkill". The First Line skin is one of Payday's numerous references to ice hockey. The Death From Above skin bears similarity to a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skin for the FAMAS named "Spitfire". The Hype Train skin is an obvious reference to the Hype Train community event. The Little Brother skin is a reference to Houston, whose mask is displayed on the skin, being Dallas' younger brother. The mask graphic is from Houston's sprite seen on the Road to Crimefest website while the event was ongoing. The Brown River skin has a Rivertown Glen logo on the slide. The Dragon Lord, according to the Update #90 announcement site, belonged to a Chinese lieutenant known as "Tang", who was described to have had a "love affair" with fire after surviving a napalm bombing in 1969 in Vietnam. He created a drug-smuggling ring in Taipei named The Dragon Lords, of which Tang was "the General" of, and in 1976, the Dragon Lords' enemy gangs fought with the ring in little short of a bloody war. Tang eventually called a truce and invited all of Taipei's crime lords to a surrender negotiation at a dockyard, only for Tang to incinerate them all, and himself, and burn down the entire dockyard with the flamethrower. As pointed out by some players, the Dragon Lord bears resemblance to the Huo-Long Heater in Team Fortress 2. The Green Grin, according to a thread from wargchan.org, belonged to a drug lord in the docks of Barranquilla (misspelled as Barranquillo (alternatively, that could be the name of the city in the PAYDAY universe)) named Manuel Lopez, who would frequently hunt sharks with the launcher. The design of the grenade is based on the logo of Overkill Software's predecessor, Grin. The skin's design seems to be themed after the Golden Grin Casino heist. The metal The Gimp is made of was recycled from metal used in weapons used in the Gulf War, Falklands War, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Somme, and the Boer War. The Vulcan receives no fire rate reduction when equipped with this skin despite it having half the original amount of barrels.

Dallas' theme is Texan with a touch of real freedom." —Update #90 announcement site. As said on the Update #90 announcement site, the skins from the Dallas safe are themed after the Southern United States and patriotism, fitting the character the safe is based upon. The Quickdrawn Hunter was originally misspelled as "Quckdrawn Hunter", before being corrected in a later update. The Alamo Dallas belonged to a hitman named the "Jester Warrant". She had her identity unknown until she met her "untimely end", presumably caught and/or killed, because of the SMG's meat hammer head which she pulverized her victims with. The Greek text on the side of the skin reads "Molon Labe" when converted into the standard English alphabet, meaning "come and take [them]", and is a classical expression of defiance.

Skins Trivia Le Grand Bleu +4 Accuracy Wave Snake +4 Accuracy Chikara +4 Stability Charlie Don't Surf +4 Stability Hang Loose +4 Accuracy Lip Jibber +4 Accuracy Turtle Roll +4 Stability Radical +4 Accuracy Shaka +4 Stability Kapu +4 Accuracy Meat Waffle +4 Accuracy Coo Coo Ca Choo +1 Total Ammo Aerodynamic +4 Accuracy Riptide +4 Accuracy Tribal Feud +4 Stability Big Kahuna -4 Accuracy Most of the skins from this safe feature tribal markings, and much of the skins' names are terms related to surfing culture, fitting the character the safe is named after, whom has tribal tattoos in both PAYDAY 2 and the Point Break 2015 film, and is a surfer in both the original 1991 film, the 2015 remake, and the game. Le Grand Bleu is the French title for the 1988 film The Big Blue, about a rivalry between two champion free divers. Wave Snake may refer to the Pelamis Wave Energy Converter, a snake-like machine that used surface waves to generate electricity. Charlie Don't Surf is a quote from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. A Turtle Roll is a surfing maneuver surfers use to get out back through the breaking waves. Shaka may refer to the shaka sign, also known as Hang Loose. A Riptide is a strong tidal flow of water in enclosed tidal areas. Most of the other skins' names are part of the "surfer vocabulary", an example being Radical. The Big Kahuna Reinfeld 880 shotgun, according to an FBI File e-mail, belonged to a Samoan man named Afano "Rocky" Jones raised in Chicago, who had been bullied frequently for his large size until he fought back at the age of twelve, exhilarating him. Most of the rest of his life was spent trying to feel that exhilaration again, from playing football, boxing, and eventually completing a series of challenges called the "Ozaki 8", but felt nothing. He finally got the spark back when he attacked a shotgun-armed robber at a grocery store, and used said shotgun to then rob the shopkeeper. He then went on a spree of violent crimes, each topping the last, and disappearing in 1978 when an Army payroll plane crashed in Oregon, where only the shotgun remained. The markings on the shotgun mean "I did the Ozaki 8". The "Ozaki 8" is a set of trials honoring the forces of nature that the 2015 Point Break film revolves around.

Christmas

Skins Trivia Ho-Ho-Ho +4 Accuracy Soft Flake +4 Accuracy Big Present +4 Accuracy Blue Tundra +4 Total Ammo Xmas Noir +4 Accuracy Evergreen -4 Accuracy Jingling Bullets +4 Stability Gluckseliger Uberfall +4 Accuracy Santa's Helper +4 Stability Wintry Wonder +4 Accuracy Santa's Slayers +4 Stability The weapon skins from this safe are all, fittingly, Christmas-themed. Evergreen refers to plants that have green leaves throughout the whole year. Trees of this type are commonly used as Christmas trees. With diaereses on the "U" characters, Gluckseliger Uberfall translates to "Blissful attack" in German. The Santa's Slayers skin bears two over-barrel laser sights akin to the one featured on the AMT Hardballer Longslide used by the Terminator in James Cameron's 1984 film of the same name. The Santa's Slayers description apparently comes from a reply on a thread on the "wargchan.org" message board.

Goat

Goat

Skins Trivia Billy +4 Accuracy Cloven Hoofs +1 Concealment Long Horn +4 Stability Pan +4 Stability Satyr +4 Accuracy Spacegoat +4 Accuracy Ram Petite +4 Accuracy Machine Goat +4 Accuracy Stampede +4 Stability Raging Goat +1 Concealment Don Pastrami +4 Stability Most of the weapon skins from this safe are all rather obviously goat-themed, released two weeks after the Goat Simulator Heist DLC. A Billy is a male goat. Cloven Hoof refers to the type of hoof goats possess. Long Horn is a reference to the Texan-native breed of cattle that is well-known for their characteristic horns that can extend to over 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tip to tip for bulls, and 2.1 m (6.9 ft) tip to tip for steers and exceptional cows. Pan, in Greek mythology, is the god of the wild, whom has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat. A Satyr is a legendary creature in Greek mythology that possess a horse-like tail and ears, rather than those of a goat. It is more likely referring to the Faun from Roman mythology, which is a half-human half-goat creature often incorrectly called a satyr. Spacegoat most likely refers to a Goat Simulator mutator of the same name. It may also be a pun on scapegoat. Ram Petite likely refers to male sheep. Sheep and goats are closely related to each other. Machine Goat is a pun on machine gun. A Stampede is an uncontrolled concerted running as an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the group collectively begins running, often in an attempt to escape a perceived threat. Raging Goat is a reference to "Raging Bull", which can refer to multiple things, among them the revolver the Bronco .44 is based on. The Don Pastrami belonged to a hitman named "The Rancher". He was caught because all of his bullets were licked by his pet goat Becky beforehand.

Wolf

Wolf

Skins Trivia Hagelbrak +4 Stability Liten Skit +4 Accuracy Scarred +4 Stability Fenris +4 Accuracy Lone Wolf +1 Concealment Denmother +4 Stability Hati +4 Accuracy Big Bad +4 Accuracy Polisgris +4 Accuracy Skoll +4 Accuracy Geri and Freki +4 Stability Smygvarg +4 Accuracy Longclaw +4 Accuracy Helvete +4 Accuracy Howl +4 Stability Hungry Wolf +4 Accuracy Most of the weapon skins from this safe are themed after the eponymous heister, in regards to his mask, his nationality, his role as the Technician of the crew, or his name. Written on the side of the safe is "För Helvete". The Swedish text on the Scarred skin's emblem reads "For King and country". Fenris is one of the names for the wolf of Norse mythology, Fenrir. Additionally, Hati and Skoll are named after Fenrir's two sons who are both mythical wolves or "wargs", Hati Hróðvitnisson and Sköll. A Denmother is an adult, female leader for a Cub Scout den. The Cub Scouts' insignia is a wolf. Big Bad is a reference to the Big Bad Wolf. Geri and Freki, in Norse mythology, are two wolves said to accompany the god Odin. The word "Vargtimmer", seen on the Smygvarg and Longclaw skins, literally translates to "timber wolf". The swirly textures on the skins' barrels resembles that of an electric drill, suggesting that "Vargtimmer" is a powertool brand in-universe. Longclaw is a reference to the sword of the same name from the Game of Thrones TV series, which has a carving of the fictional direwolf on the pommel. Written on the stocks of the Howl and Hungry Wolf skins is "Räkna till tio", reading "Count to ten". Five of the skins' names are made up of Swedish words and phrases; Hagelbrak: Based on "hagelbrakare", Swedish slang for "shotgun". Liten Skit: "Little shit". Polisgris: "Police pig". Smygvarg: "Sneak-wolf". Helvete: "Hell". According to the Hungry Wolf's description, the weapon was made by Wolf himself, apparently his "dream project". There appears to be a shopping list written on the weapon's receiver, reading "Coffee, milk, butter, egg, potato potato potato potato potato potato". Despite being based on a KSP 58, the skin's Steam Community Market and FBI Files descriptions claim it is a modified KSP.

Skins Trivia AdHoc Mono +4 Accuracy The Axiom +4 Accuracy CopperHead +4 Stability Tor-999 +4 Accuracy Velox +4 Accuracy Twin Chip +4 Stability Vix CQC +4 Stability OmniBow +1 Total Ammo Lux CQC +4 Accuracy Aggrocinn +4 Accuracy IMUR Spotter +4 Accuracy Efflux +4 Accuracy Novus Paradox +4 Stability Dax CQC +4 Stability AtomAtom +1 Concealment Astatoz +4 Accuracy "Jimmy has been kind enough to drag a safe with him when he joined the crew. It’s stuffed to the brim with must-have-right-now loot. Inside the safe you’ll find 16 fresh weapons skins including 6 Commons, 4 Uncommons, 3 Rares, 2 Epic and 1 Legendary. All with that hardcore oozing, sci-fi dripping signature look!" —Jimmy Safe announcement site. The skins in the safe are designed after the alien weapons in the 2009 film District 9, in which Jimmy's actor, Sharlto Copley, featured. Most of the skins' names consist of Greek or Latin words, or words based on words from said languages, such as Efflux, or combinations of Greek and Latin words, such as AdHoc Mono. CopperHead mainly refers to venomous vipers. The Aggrocinn skin may be a reference to the chemical compound Agrocin. The IMUR Spotter bears notable similarity to the Asiimov family of skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. According to the Astatoz's description on the Jimmy Safe announcement site, Jimmy himself got some of the exceedingly rare Astatine on the planet and the element "transformed" an AMR-16 into the weapon. According to the Firearm Database (citing the "Российские секреты" ("Russian Secrets") forum) and its Market description, the rifle was made by Akan rather than Jimmy. This may be due to either an error on the website designer's part, or due to Jimmy's loathing of Akan. How they have managed to bend the element to their design was unclear, as Astatine is very radioactive, which gives it a very short half-life (~8.1 hours) before disintegrating due to decay. A visible piece of astatine would immediately vaporize itself at room temperature because of the heat generated by its intense radioactivity. Lastly, it is the least abundant of all the naturally occurring elements, with much less than one gram being present at any given time in the Earth's crust. The design of the skin appears to be based on the AMR-B05 alien rifle in District 9. It was named after the Greek astatos (ἄστατος), meaning "unstable".

Sydney

Skins Trivia Lead Dead Plaid +4 Stability Mosh Time +4 Accuracy Poser Bash +1 Concealment Pogo Time +4 Accuracy Dog Eat Dog +1 Total Ammo Osterburg +4 Stability Braindead +4 Stability Happy Cynic +4 Stability Minor Threat +1 Concealment Anti-Life +4 Stability Middle Finger Handout +4 Accuracy Offensive Monarch +4 Stability Spewer +4 Accuracy BarbWire +4 Accuracy Angry Silence +4 Accuracy Anarcho -4 Accuracy "Sydney isn’t someone who easily shares. But she makes an exception for the PAYDAY crew. And just as Sydney - it comes with a punch. Inside its bowels you’ll find 6 Commons, 4 Uncommons, 3 Rares, 2 Epic and 1 Legendary. They have all been born out of chaotic mosh pits in dark Melbourne punk clubs." —Sydney Character Pack announcement site. The skins in the safe are themed after punk rock and subgenres of punk rock, fitting the character the safe is based on. Mosh Time refers to moshing, a type of dance where the participants push or slam into each other. This dance is generally associated with hardcore punk, a derivative of punk rock. Pogo Time refers to the pogo, a dance where participants jump up and down in place, and is the precursor to moshing. Dog Eat Dog may be a reference to the post-punk song of the same by Adam and the Ants. Osterberg may refer to James Newell Osterberg, Jr., better known as "Iggy Pop", the vocalist for the proto-punk band The Stooges. Minor Threat was a hardcore punk band active from 1980 to 1983. The Predator 12G's Anti-Life skin may be a reference to the video game Half-Life, which includes the SPAS-12/Predator 12G as a weapon. Angry Silence may be a reference to the song "This Angry Silence" by the punk rock band Television Personalities. The Anarcho, according to a reply on a thread in the "darkchan.orion" forum, was made by a notorious gunsmith and gun expert named "Tecci". No one knows the true name or origin of the gunsmith, for he is said to "bring down some serious Taekwondo on everything you hold dear" if you ask. Its name "Anarcho" is likely a reference to anarcho-punk, an anarchy-promoting punk rock genre, which would fit the character the skin's safe is based upon. The Anarcho's design scheme also seems to incorporate several references to Sydney's overall appearance, with its handgrip being decorated with a pattern similar to the lacing on her combat boots and the skull decal on the side of its barrel sporting a mohawk like hers. Engraved on the inside of its spiked knuckleduster is the line "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" from Bhagavad Gita. Stamped on the front of the Anarcho's unique barrel extension is a Japanese-styled emoticon: =^.^=

And that day is finally here. Filled with dust eating badassery - it’s now part of the PAYDAY crew. The Biker Safe contains 6 Commons, 4 Uncommons, 3 Rare, 2 Epic and 1 Legendary - all with a pleasant smell of diesel and rubber." —Biker Packs announcement site. The skins in the safe are all themed after biker culture, fitting the character the safe is based on. Chopper refers to the type of motorcycle of the same name. Road Rash is the slang term for the severe friction burns that can occur in a motorcycle fall where skin comes into contact with the ground at high speed. Horsepower is a unit of measurement of power. Applied to motorized vehicles, it is used to measure the power of their engines. The Muffler is a vehicle's exhaust pipe. Pistonheads likely refers to the English motoring forum and trading site of the same name. Buckhorns refers to a type of bicycle handlebars. A Spark Plug is a device for firing the explosive mixture in an internal combustion engine. Nomad refers to motorcycle club members that are not attached to any particular chapter. There are also motorcycle clubs in various countries that refer to themselves as "Nomads". One Percenter is a title outlaw motorcycle clubs give themselves, referring to the American Motorcyclist Association's statement that 99% of motorcyclists are law-abiding citizens. The Fork is a set of metal struts that connects a motorcycle's front wheel and axle to its frame, typically via a pair of triple clamps. Trimmad Moppe is Swedish for "trimmed moped". Brain Bucket is a humorous term for helmet, particularly soldier or biker helmets. The Rake is the fork offset, or the perpendicular distance from the steering axis to the center of the front wheel on a motorbike or bicycle. Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, fulcrum, or pivot, and is used in the power specification of engines. The Apex Breaker 12G shotgun was a gift from Mike the mechanic to Rust. The axe on the forend of the weapon was installed because Rust would frequently run out of ammunition and resort to using the shotgun as a melee weapon. It is actually usable in such manner during gameplay though, since the Breaker 12G's Weapon Butt animation involves the player character clubbing/shoving enemies with what seems to be the shotgun's forend. It does not confer a melee damage boost when equipped, however.

And the support they give to Crimenet can’t be underestimated - we wouldn’t even be in business without them. I even heard they post videos and stuff about us on the internet - so you’re famous, guys. Anyway - someone sent us this safe as a gift. I don’t even want to know how they found the address, but the people in the PAYDAY Community are as loyal as they are passionate, so they won’t rat us out, I’m sure of it." —Community Safe announcement site. The Community Safe contains skins made by PAYDAY 2 players submitted to the Steam Workshop, and is the first safe to do so. All of the skins can be viewed on the Steam Workshop. The Throwback (AMCAR-4 | Throwback [✓]) was based on the AMCAR-4 from PAYDAY: The Heist, as noted by its Workshop name and description. It was also intended to be equipped with the Milspec Mag. and Holographic Sight, further referencing the AMCAR-4. The Flaming Deagle (Flaming Deagle) is similar in design and applicable weaponry to the Blaze skin in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The Warpig (Warpig | GL40) was based on World War II bomber planes. The PIXELWAR ([✓] Kobus 90 | PIXELWAR) is a remake of a skin of the same name published to Mod Workshop. The Opulent (KSP 58 | Orangite (Opulent)) was originally named "Orangite". This name change may suggest that this skin was meant to be included in the safe instead. The Splitter (Interceptor 45 - Splitter [✓]) originally had a light brown-splinter camo. It is unknown why it was changed to its current black splinter camo. The M90 Camo (M90 Camo AK) is based on the camouflage pattern of the same name employed by the Swedish Armed Forces. This pattern is also visible on the M90 Camo armor skin by the same creator. According to its creator, the DIAMOND SPLINTER (THE JUDGE SHOTGUN | DIAMOND SPLINTER) is also based on the M90 camouflage. The Jack Shot (BERNETTI Jack Shot) was inspired by one of the creator's friends in Tennessee. The Floral Thrust skin (M308 Rifle | Floral Thrust [✓]) is the black and white version of the first skin its creator made. The Admiral (Raven Shotgun | Admiral), according to criminologist "Prof. Jerry F. Kensington", was owned by a naval officer but lost by his children.

Some skins additionally have tally marks sketched on them. The Compact-5's default fire selector vs. the Nightstalker's updated one, for comparison. The Nightstalker is based on Cloakers, namely their camo and weapon of choice. This skin also corrects the Compact-5's incorrect fire selector. Ghurka is a misspelling of Gurkha, fearless Nepalese soldiers recruited in various armies. It would otherwise refer to a clothing retailer. The patterns on the Legionnaire was based on the camouflage used by the French Foreign Legion. Based on its coloration, the Boreas was likely named after the eponymous Greek god of North Wind. The Ambush skin has Kilroy was here sketched on the receiver. Desert Commando may refer to the 1967 Italian film Attentato ai tre grandi, known as Desert Commandos in the United States. Zulu is the code word for the letter "Z" in the NATO phonetic alphabet. The Gray Hunter skin is strongly implied to have been owned by Chains himself, or at least mocked up to resemble a similar weapon he once used as evident by the words "U.S. Enforcer Nicolas" printed on its receiver. The quotes inscribed on the slides of the Grim Reaper skin is misattributed to Charles Darwin, while it actually appeared in a speech delivered in 1983 by Leon C. Megginson, a Louisiana State University business professor at the convention of the Southwestern Social Science Association. Mars Ultor is a manifestation of the god Mars created by Augustus as the "avenger" of the Julius Caesar assassination and Battle of Carrhae.

We skipped the Commons and Uncommons and gone full out with 2 Legendaries, 3 Epics and 4 Rares! 9 Skins total!" —Hoxton's Housewarming Party Day 5 website page. The Hoxton Safe does not seem to have a definitive theme, but a few skins bear similarity to skin designs from other safes, possibly indicating the safe's contents were made by several different characters in-universe. The Razor Splitter has an image of a razor blade on its default scope, which is commonly associated with cocaine, indicating that it may have been made by Jimmy. Additionally, the Razor Splitter, Blockbuster, and Demon all have a type of polygon-based logo on them, possibly indicating they were also made by Jimmy. A Macaw is a Neotropical parrot. What appears to be a macaw head is depicted on the skin's receiver. The Demon and Plush Phoenix's descriptions apparently come from a book named "The Fire and The Thief". While the Demon's quote sources "Jeremy Logan", the Plush Phoenix's quote sources "Jezebel Taimalie".

Without that daredevil devotion to Crime.net – the gang wouldn’t manage to pull off the heists they do. Not a chance in hell, if I’m gonna be frank. And since all the people in the PAYDAY Community are so completely and utterly awesome, we felt the need to throw in this safe, like a bit of whipped cream on top of this hot loot, to embrace the Holiday spirit in advance. Even the ones with the naughtiest of hearts needs a little fierce present this cold winter. Happy Heisting, everybody!" —Community Safe 2 announcement site. Like its predecessor, the Community Safe 2 contains skins made by PAYDAY 2 players submitted to the Steam Workshop. All of the skins can be viewed on the Steam Workshop, with the exception of the El Toro Furioso, which was removed from the Workshop after its inclusion. Found in the safe's textures folder are the icons of two scrapped skins that were supposed to be included in this release, the Interceptor .45 | Heatwave and Lebensauger .308 | Bloodlust. Heatwave Bloodlust The Vintage (Crosskill | Vintage) originally had a gold-colored trigger, hammer, slide release, safety, and backstrap, but for unknown reasons, they were changed to black when included in the in-game safe. The Ancient ([Accepted ✓] Ancient | Cobra SMG) is allegedly cursed, according to Wolf. The Royale Blue skin ([✓] Car-4 | Royale Blue) is misspelled as "Royal Blue" on the Community Safe 2 announcement site. Wiseguy (Chicago Typewriter | Wiseguy) is a term for a fully initiated member of an American mafia. Wiseguy was potentially supposed to be an Epic skin, judging from an alternate image of it, which has several different mods on it whereas the released version is unmodified. The Loading (OVE9000 SAW - Loading) skin is designed after the in-game loading symbol. It has been noted that due to the way the saw blade spins, the arrows will rotate backwards. Homewrecker (Piglet - Homewrecker [✓]) is slang for a person, object, or activity that causes or almost causes the breakup of a marriage. Based on its black-and-yellow color design scheme, the Homewrecker was likely inspired by a nondescript powertool. The "PWR" label corroborates this theory as it is usually used to denote a powertool's electrical inlet or startup switch. The Combat Medic (Combat Medic >> Deagle Pistol [✓]) is based on the pre-Update #100 Mastermind skill tree, which focused on healing and pistols. The Military Red Dot Sight and its Lootbag DLC equivalent have an image of Dallas' mask inside the lens cap, who represents the Mastermind tree. The default grip also used to have an image of Dallas' mask, but this is not present on the skin in-game. The Budget Suppressor's texture is of a medicine bottle from a fictitious company named "OVERCURE". The Cooldown skin ([✓] LEO | Cooldown) was originally named "Cyber Dämmerung". The Urban Camo | Metallic (KROSS Vertex Urban Camo | Metallic [✓]) is the "metallic" version of another skin its creator made. A Spinal Tap ([✓] UAR | Spinal Tap) is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted into the spinal canal. According to its creator, the Damascus shotgun (GSPS 12G | Damascus) is made of birch wood and damascus steel, hence its name. The El Toro Furioso belonged to a Mexican bank robber of the same name, who performed numerous heists alone and successfully. He eventually crossed the United States border and continued his robberies in Arizona and New Mexico, later coming to a bloody end after a failed train robbery and being hunted down, cornered in an alley. "El Toro Furioso", rather appropriately, roughly translates into "Raging Bull" from Spanish.

Apparently it had some snow on it but Jimmy scraped it all up, mumbling something about “the good stuff”. Anyhow, it’s the Scarface Safe, filled with gold and marble!" —Update #128 announcement. The skins in the safe are designed after Tony Montana's office and mansion in Scarface. Additionally, half of the skin names in the safe are references to Miami and Florida. The safe was allegedly found by Jacket while the gang was visiting Florida. According to the leftover textures in the safe folder, this safe was originally supposed to contain skins for the Falcon (fal_sfs), the STRYK 18c (glock_18c_sfs) and the GSPS 12G (m37_sfs). Everglade refers to a region of tropical wetlands in southern Florida. Key West is an island in the Straits of Florida, as well as the city of the same name on the island. Seminole is a Native American tribe that settled in Florida in the 18th century. A Beach Bum is someone who habitually spends a lot of time at the beach. Vice & Dice is a pun on "slice & dice" and a reference to the crime drama TV series Miami Vice. Hubris means "excessive pride or self-confidence", fitting the character the safe is based on. Miami Spice refers to the annual restaurant promotion celebrating Miami cuisine. Manny's Revenge refers to Manny Ribera, Tony Montana's best friend and killed by him in a fit of rage. The tiger image on the slide may indicate this is also a reference to the Tony's Revenge mask and the Hotline Miami character it is from. Flying Pelican is a reference to the bathtub scene in Scarface. Chico refers to a quote from the film. Cuban refers to Tony Montana's nationality. The announcement site mislabels the Cuban as a "Reinfeld .357" skin instead of 880. The Mansion Mauler's unusual fire selector. The Mansion Mauler was a rifle commissioned by friends of billionaire and arms collector Randy Carter for his 60th birthday. When he died, his gun collection, including the Mansion Mauler, was given to the "Arlington Museum of Firearms" apparently in accordance to his will. The rifle was stolen from the museum in late 2016. The museum in question is fictional and a reference to the Arlington Museum of Art. For whatever reason, the skin's texture superimposes what appears to be a set of MP5A4 four-point fire selector pictograms onto the Little Friend's original ones.

A safe packed with deadly skins inspired by the great warriors throughout history. Take it all and put its content to good use with your murderous moves and have a blast!" —John Wick Safe announcement site. As stated on the announcement site, the skins in the safe are named after warriors or groups of people known for their warriors throughout history. Additionally, the skins are all themed after John Wick and his arsenal throughout his two films, and on most of the skins are the Continental's logo. On the Knight's and Assassin's receivers are "Baba Yaga", a codename for John Wick from the Russian mafia he fights throughout the 2014 John Wick film. Hakkapeliitta is a historiographical term for late 16th-century Finnish light cavalrymen, based on the Finnish battle cry "hakkaa päälle" ("Cut them down!"). Although likely a coincidence, the Mauser C96 was utilized by the Finnish Army during the Finnish Civil War and Second World War. A Man-at-arms is a medieval soldier well-versed in the use of arms. Hoplite were citizen-soldiers of Ancient Greece, and are primarily spearmen. Lansquenet is the French spelling of Landsknecht, late 15th-century German mercenaries, and also a reference to a card game based on them. Dragoon refers to late 17th-century European mounted troops, whose name was derived from the dragon, the short blunderbuss pistol they are armed with. Janissary refers to Ottoman Empire elite infantry unit established in the late 14th-century. A Cataphract was an armored heavy cavalry used in warfare in Western Eurasia. A Knight is a person granted a title of knighthood by a monarch or other political leader for service to the monarch or country. A Crusader is a participant of one of the Crusades. Cossack refers to a group of predominantly East Slavic-speaking people who became known as members of democratic, self-governing, semi-military communities. Mongol refers to an East-Central Asian ethnic group. In the 13th century, the Mongol Empire, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, expanded rapidly, stretching from the Sea of Japan to Central Europe by the 1280's. On the Mongol's slide is "Fortis fortuna adiuvat", meaning "Fortune favors the bold" in Latin. This phrase is the motto of the 3rd Marine Regiment of the United States Marine Corps, which John Wick has a tattoo of on his back. Samurai were the military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan. Masai is either a misspelling of Maasai, a Nilotic ethnic group famous for their fearsome warriors, or Massai, an Apache warrior. Prussian may refer to the Prussian Army, renowned for its military tactics. Sioux refers to groups of Native American tribes, known for their well-trained warriors. On the Sioux's receivers are "X XIII MMXIV", Roman numerals for "10 13 2014". This is the date of the first John Wick movie's premiere. Assassin is a name used to refer to the medieval Nizari Ismailis. Today "assassin" more commonly refers to persons that carry out assassinations, also known as hitmen.

All of the skins can be viewed on the Steam Workshop. On the safe's page on The Search for Kento event website, the Modernized and Cloaked were erroneously listed as Uncommon and Common skins, respectively. The Modernized (Light Crossbow | Modernized) skin bears a set of skulls that correspond to the Death Sentence Risk Level. The Last Man Standing ([✓] Arbiter - Last Man Standing) skin's name was made by a friend of the skin's creator. The skin bears many instances of XXV-100, which translates into "Reputation level 100 - Infamy XXV", the highest rank a PAYDAY 2 player can possibly achieve up to this point. The skin's texture falsely claims the Arbiter is capable of Auto fire, despite the XM25 being a semi-automatic design. The Cloaked ([✓] AK17 | Cloaked) skin originally had an orange color scheme before being changed to neon-green. Due to this accidental resemblance to the color palette of Cloakers, the creator named the skin after them as per the input of a friend. The Frenzy (Contractor 308 | Frenzy) skin was inspired by 80's retro sci-fi and Hotline Miami. The Wolfpack (Wolfpack | MOSCONI 12G) was based on the Gjallarhorn in Destiny, which has numerous wolf designs and, noted as an unintentional reference by the creator, was named "Wolfpack" in the game's E3 2013 demo. The City of Gold (City of Gold | Gruber Kurz Pistol) pistol was given to gold-obsessed robber Aldo d'Oro after being released from prison following failing to pickpocket an elderly woman outside a police station, and he proceeded to pawn it at a pawn shop, swearing to never touch gold again. The skin was based on the underwater city Rapture in the BioShock series. The silhouette of a yacht can be seen on the Jungle Ninja Suppressor and IPSC Compensator.

Last week Sangres and his collection of stylish shirts arrived. This time we deliver the matching weapon skins for some mexican flavour in your armoury!(sic)" —Update #145 announcement. The skins in this safe are named after mythical figures and locations in Mesoamerican and Latino American lore while a select few bear more modern Spanish names, and are designed after Sangres' shirts and mask. Tenochtitlan was the capital of the Aztec Empire before being conquered by the Spanish in 1521. Chupacabra (literally "goat-sucker") is a mythical vampiric creature in Latino American folklore who has a predilection for hunting and drinking the blood of livestock, particularly goats from which it gained its name. The Toltec is an ancient Mesoamerican civilization that precedes the Aztec and is described by them as a cultural ancestor/predecessor. Pistolero is literally "gunslinger/gunfighter" in Spanish. Tijuana is the largest city in Baja California. Caracaras are birds of prey in the family Falconidae. Moctezuma, also spelt Montezuma, was the ninth ruler of Tenochtitlan, reigning from 1502 to 1520. The Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples, and noted for its hieroglyphic script—the only known fully developed writing system of the pre-Columbian Americas—as well as for its art, architecture, mathematics, calendar, and astronomical system. Chihuahua either refers to the city state in Mexico or the dog breed named after it. Olmec refers to the first major civilization in Guatemala and Mexico following a progressive development in Soconusco and modern southwestern pacific lowlands of Guatemala. The Aztec is an ancient civilization that dominated most of Mesoamerica from the 14th to the 16th century. Juarez could refer to Ciudad Juárez, the largest city in the state of Chihuahua. The Scorpion skin's name is of that of predatory arachnae that have large genetic diversity in Mexico and other subtropic areas. Los Mariachis refer to the Mexican Mariachi musical expression that dates back to the 18th century. José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, also known as "Pancho Villa", was a Mexican Revolutionary general and one of the most prominent figures of the Mexican Revolution. The Monterrey revolvers were commissioned by a cartel boss to master gunsmith Pablo "El Gato" ("the cat"), but the boss was assassinated shortly before the revolvers were ready to deliver. Unpaid, he put the guns up for sale in his store window and for months they remained there as no one could afford them, but one day a retired policeman visited and offered to clean the city of crime in exchange for the guns, to which El Gato agreed. In the following weeks, the city's crime bosses fell one by one and following the death of the last boss, the policeman claimed the reward and drove away from the city, never seen by the gunsmith again. According to the FBI Files description, El Gato worked in a city named "Sonora". There are no cities of that name in Mexico, but there is a state with the same name. Monterrey is the capital and largest city of the northeastern state of Nuevo León in Mexico.

All of the skins can be viewed on the Steam Workshop. According to the hashlist, there was supposed to be a Common skin for the 5/7 AP (bm_wskn_lemming_cs4) called Respect included in the safe, though it was likely removed at the last minute due to the safe folder lacking its icon. A subsequent hotfix had since removed the remaining traces of it from the game proper. The skin has since been added to and released with the Community Safe 5. The safe's announcement website previously erroneously listed the MURICA and DEVA as Common skins and the M9 Shepard and Apocalypse as Uncommon skins. The Zeal (Queen's Wrath Rifle | The Zeal [✓]) was based on the Zeal Team. The Apocalypse (Apocalypse) skin was likely inspired by the Mad Max franchise, as indicated by its Workshop description. The M9 Shepard (M9 Shepard [✓]) skin was based on the Mass Effect video game series. The name references its protagonist, Commander Shepard, an N7 graduate. When a generic suppressor is equipped while using the Genesis skin, the word "Shhhh..." can be found written on the side. However, if the Budget Suppressor is equipped, the writing changes to "Uh...?" instead. The Biohazard (Arbiter Grenade Launcher - Biohazard) skin's Workshop description states that Wolf had complained about his throat itching after acquiring the weapon, referencing PAYDAY: The Heist's No Mercy heist. The text on the handguard of the DEVA (AMCAR RIFLE | Deva) is katakana for "deva" (デバ deba, due to the lack of "v" sounds in Japanese). The original skin submission's name was written in all caps as it is in-game. The Preacher ([All modis] The Preacher [✓]) was originally named "The Priest" and had a Christian cross symbol on the Diablo Barrel. Following concern surrounding the cross symbol, it was changed to a sword symbol and the skin was renamed. The Spear of War (The Spear of War | Street Sweeper) originally possessed the Aquila symbol on its sight mods. Following concern over the symbol being interpreted as the Reichsadler, it was changed to the current Trojan helmet symbol. The Bloodline (AK17 Rifle | Bloodline) was designed after Sangres, with an engraving of his mask on the magazine, and the skins in his respective safe. The rifle allegedly belongs to an infamous criminal family and has been passed down to those worthy over generations, despite the weapon the skin is for being less than a year old at the time of writing. The Oil Spill (Oil Spill | Kobus 90) was used during the Iraq War by one of the region's most fierce warriors and was lost in Basra, later resurfacing in the underground weapons market.

U.S.O. Commando refers to the United Service Organizations, an organization that provides live entertainment to members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Little Georg is a reference to Georg Luger, the designer of the Luger pistol that the Parabellum was modeled after. Tarnschmeisser is a portmanteau of the German word "tarn", meaning "camouflage", and "schmeisser", a misnomer fashioned after Hugo Schmeisser that was used to nickname the MP40 by Allied troops. Put simply, "tarnschmeisser" can be understood as "a camouflaged schmeisser (MP40)". The Devil's Piano was slang used by American soldiers in WW2, meaning "machine gun". Based on its name and camo pattern, the The Drop Buddy was likely a British Royal Air Force paratrooper weapon. The Cyrillic text on the sides of the Motherload reads "МЯСНИК/Butcher" and "ЗА РОДИНУ!/For the Motherland!", respectively. Sketched on the stock of the Royal Order is a quote from Royal Air Force officer James Edgar Johnson. The Big Time Operator belonged to a WW2 general, and passed down through his descendants into the underworld, given its name by the criminals that used it.

According to its Steam Workshop description, the Peacekeeper Blue (Peacekeeper Blue) was requested by Captain Winters to be wielded by the Cloaker unit, but were too cumbersome and visually loud for the special units. Hazchem (Hazchem | Chimano Compact Pistol) was a redesign of an earlier skin submitted by the creator before the Chimano Compact was officially skinnable. Respect (5/7 I RESPECT [✓]) was originally supposed to be bundled with the Community Safe 4, though for some reason was eventually pushed back. On the Community Safe 5's web page, the BoomBox (Commando 101 | BoomBox [✓]) image was edited to display the boombox design, normally on the right side of the weapon, on the left side. The Royal Flush (Eagle Heavy | The Royal Flush) was designed after the Golden Grin Casino. Oathbreaker ([All modis] Clarion 'Oathbreaker' [✓]) was based on the Dead Men of Dunharrow's appearance in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, who are also known as "the oathbreakers". Flames of Passion (Flames of Passion / JP36) was inspired by the cover art for Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. The Headhunter (Headhunter | Mark10 SMG) was used by a bounty hunter of the same name, executing contracts and others around the world for 20 years before disappearing and the weapon being found in a Berlin warehouse 9 years later.

This Rifle (This Rifle), with carving reading "This Rifle Kills Pigs", was based on the This Machine in Fallout: New Vegas, which has "Well This Machine Kills Commies" carved into the side, which in turn was inspired by the "This Machine Kills Fascists" guitar sticker of Woodie Guthrie. Castor and Pollux (Castor and Pollux | CROSSKILL) was named after the eponymous twin brothers of Greek mythology, whose shared immortality made up the Gemini constellation. As a reference to the above, the frames of the pistols are additionally printed with "per aspera ad astra", meaning "through hardships to the stars" in Latin. Heat Wave (Heat Wave [✓]) has a silhouette of Rust's clown mask engraved onto the receiver.

The names of the Bonnie and Clyde refer to the eponymous crime couple who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing people and killing when cornered or confronted. The following is sketched on the receiver of the Bonnie skin: To Bonnie "I Owe You One" Clyde 2-28-32 Desert Stallion has Arabic writing on the receiver. Copper Green gives the Swedish K the look of a general-production Carl Gustav m/45B, even though its Swedish Barrel and Swedish Body mods fulfill the same purpose. Installing the Swedish Body with this skin equipped removes the sticker on the magazine well. The Oxidator gives the GL40 the same aesthetic of the Copper Green, despite the M79 never having been used by the Swedish Armed Forces. Golden Serpent has Chinese lettering engraved on the receiver, reading "Payday". The King is a reference to Elvis Presley. On the slide is an engraving reading "World War 1 Commander of the Dance Floor". The Five Brass has a plate on the right side of the stock reading "To A Straight Shooter From A Friend". Duke's Glimmer has engraving on the slide reading "Kneel before The Duke".

All of the skins can be viewed on the Steam Workshop. Cloaker Gold (Cloaker Gold | Raven Shotgun (2018 Update)) was based on the Prison Nightmare heist. The Bear (AMR-16 | "The Bear") is a reference to the New California Republic from the Fallout series, with the skin itself being based on the service rifle from Fallout: New Vegas and a nickel finish AR-15 SP1. LAZARUS ARMS (LAZARUS ARMS RP7) is based on a video game the skin's creator is developing, "Lazarus Arms" being a fictional version of Heckler & Koch. Loco (Loco the locomotive [✓]) is a parody of Thomas the Tank Engine. The skin was previously marked as incompatible due to its similarity. A Man Called Hero (A Man Called Hero | Breaker 12G) was inspired by various Hong Kong films and Japanese anime, particularly Ninja Scroll. The skin's color scheme was inspired by the shotgun in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The kanji on the receiver translates to "hero". BUFF ([✓] Akimbo Judge | BUFF) is a reference to the Nerf toy brand and the gaming community definitions of "buff" and "nerf". The Fluorescent (Fluorescent / Compact-5) skin was partially inspired by the Heat skin family in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Eclipse (MP40 Submachine Gun | Eclipse) was hidden in the Aldstone's Heritage weapon stash, according to the Steam Workshop description. Hyperion (Hyperion / Akimbo Interceptor .45) is a direct reference to the fictional corporation from the Borderlands franchise, the Hyperion Corporation, sharing similar color and design choices. The Firmament ([All modis] Signature .40 "Firmament") was created when an Iraqi sniper in the Gulf War, who boasted being able to land any shot "day or night", was killed because his gold-decorated rifle gave away his position in the moonlight, and the sergeant that killed him had the gold infused into his sidearm. The weapon's description states that the pistol was of an Allied sergeant. "Allied" usually refers to the Entente Powers or United Nations formed against the Central Powers in World War I and Axis in World War II respectively, rather than any later coalition. The skin itself was inspired by various real engraved P226 pistols and a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Workshop submission.
