Please mind the gap, get your tickets ready and find your seat. This is no ordinary commuter train where first-come is first-served, with no guarantee of a seat and no onboard services, no, this is the Hype Train, and we are going to need Hype Fuel to reach our destinations. Please, let my masked conductor Wolf here stow that baggage for you.
Please get ready as the train is about to depart. All aboard the Hype Train!

Completely OVERKILL Packs remaining
All Aboard the Hype Train!
The Hype Train event is a PAYDAY 2 event going on between the 5th of February to the 12th of March. Heisters work together in order to unlock new free content for the community to enjoy. The content is ready to be released during the following Spring Break event in March.
Destination Rewards
As the Hype Train reaches each destination, its rewards will be unlocked for each PAYDAY 2 owner. For every destination reached, all PAYDAY 2 owners receive a 10% XP buff for the release of the Infamy 2.0 event. All destination rewards will be available to all PAYDAY 2 owners regardless of time of purchase.
Collect Hype Fuel Together
Collect Hype Fuel together with the community to unlock special community rewards. Whenever a DLC is purchased on Steam during the event, gallons of Hype Fuel are added to the Hype Train. When the Hype Train reaches a new destination, a new reward is unlocked for the community.
