Favours Guide

Favors in Payday 3 are basically buffs in the form of things like ammunition and medical supplies which are left at the scene of an impending heist for you to pick up and use by the goons your crew hired. There are two types of Favors, these are Generic Favors and Heist-Specific Favors.

Generic Favors

These can be used in any heist and are basically buffs that will benefit any build of character in Payday 3. Generic Favors can be purchased through the Vendors page on the main menu and will set you back $10,000 each.

There are four types of Favors you can purchase and they can be selected in the heist lobby where you choose your loadout and ready up.

Favors are accessed by going to the Gage: Arms Dealer tab and then scrolling to the bottom to find the Favors you have available to use. Listed below are the four Favor slots, called 'Assets' in the game:
