Description:
Stats from the first day of Payday 3's early access have been revealed, and the number of civilian NPCs killed is surprisingly small.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

At long last, Payday 3 s full release day is today (September 21), and developer Starbreeze Studios has compiled a fascinating infographic of stats showing what players have been up to in the early access period.

Starbreeze posted the stats to Twitter earlier this week, specifically highlighting the escapades of players on the first-person shooters first day of early access (which was September 18). While the total amount of in-game cash earned was absolutely astronomical, and the number of enemies killed is also pretty hefty, whats arguably most surprising is the relatively low
number of civilian NPCs killed.

To be exact, on that first day, 1,976 civilian NPCs were taken out by
players. Compare that to the number of enemies killed (1,144,520) and the
even larger total number of kills (a whopping 20,169,312), its clear that
most players were doing their best to avoid dragging any innocent NPCs into their heist antics. A quick look into what kind of chaos youve been causing during the first day of Play Early. Well heisted, heisters!You guys are
pretty good at this whole heisting thing, arent ya?

A quick peek at the posts replies reveals that many of those kills were completely unintentional, too. One user responded : 1,976 killed civs, and I genuinely think Im 70 of them, [from] the amount of rogue grenades Ive thrown trying to throw bags.

The stats have also proven that way more players like to go into their heists with all guns blazing rather than with a quieter approach, as 323,759 loud heists were carried out, while only 81,800 stealth heists were completed. Whatever the method, though, people were very productive, as they managed to collectively earn over 136 billion in cash.

If youve been waiting for Payday 3 s full release, its almost time to dive
in. The game is set to unlock at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST, so theres about an hour to go, at which point we can expect these stats to get much bigger.
