It looks like Payday 3 is dropping some clear hints about wanting to join forces with Fortnite, at least according to their social media teasers. Epic Games launched a new Fortnite season not too long ago, shaking things up by adjusting the loot pool and adding some fresh locations for players to explore.
Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2 is all about pulling off heists. It brings the thrill of breaking into vaults, knocking over armored trucks, and snagging weapons from the black market. Meanwhile, Payday 3 also revolves around team-based shooting action with players taking on guarded areas for that big payout. On their own, these games are quite different, but the shared crime-and-heist theme of Fortnite’s latest season makes them curious bedfellows, potentially closer than ever before.
The Payday 3 Twitter account has been dropping hints left and right, suggesting a wish to collaborate during Fortnite’s current heist-centric season. When a fan inquired about a possible crossover, the Payday 3 team cheekily replied with, “I’m only one call away, babe,” tagging Fortnite’s official Twitter. This caught the attention of prominent content creators and leakers like ShiinaBR and HYPEX, though Epic Games stayed mum on the matter.
This little social media tango isn’t exactly a new dance for Payday 3. In the past, they retweeted Fortnite’s criminal character lineup from the Battle Pass, adding a nod to their expertise in the criminal game. Naturally, gamers started buzzing about a potential team-up. Though some are confident it signifies an impending collaboration, many suspect it could simply be another playful attempt by Payday 3 to catch Epic’s eye.
ShiinaBR noted that these playfully one-sided interactions between Payday 3 and Fortnite date back to 2023 when the latter also enjoyed a heist-themed season. Some fans insist a crossover just makes sense and would be a missed opportunity if it doesn’t happen. Yet, not everyone is convinced that merging the two games is the perfect move.
The community remains divided on the idea of integrating Payday 3 into Fortnite. Some players are thrilled by the possibility, while others argue that both games stand strong on their own. Epic Games, known for some jaw-dropping collaborations in line with their heist season, like the inclusion of Cowboy Bebop characters, keeps fans intrigued. With an exciting new season underway and more content on the horizon, the Fortnite community remains optimistic about what’s next for the game.
