In what can only be described as the biggest score of the year, today 505 Studios and Overkill, developers of award-winning heist game Payday 2, announced their plans to takeover next week's E3. No word yet on if they'll be after just the man's money or yours, but you should check it out anyway just in case.

The "takeover" is to mark the milestone of a half a million community members on Steam and to promote the upcoming Big Bank DLC due out on Steam on June 17 for $6.99. The new content is "game's largest heist to date - taking down the Benevolent Bank - as well as bigger / better vaults, guards, rewards and a brand new contact, The Dentist (brought to life by actor Giancarlo 'Gus Fring' Esposito)."
Per the press release, "In addition to hands-on time with the new DLC and Overkill developer access, players visiting the Payday 2 area will be given the chance to nab some real-world "loot" through in-booth competitions and giveaways. Players will have several opportunities to take home their score, including raids on the Payday 2 VAULT's "cash grab machine" and "safety deposit boxes" for the chance to secure various prizes, such as PAYDAY 2 swag, Logitech Kits and Nvidia Titan graphics cards. Top daily "cash grab" scorers will compete in a grand prize finale on the last day of the show to determine E3's most legendary criminal."

The booth will be located in the west hall of the convention center and something tells me you shouldn't have a hard time finding it. You may not have a better chance to channel your inner John Dillinger than this!
