PAYDAY 2 takes place in a dystopian alternate universe United States, where there are only 4 occupations left in the grossly-overpopulated megacity of Washington D.C., (which now encompasses the entirety of the continental United States): ruthless yet multi-faceted career criminal, megacop, mercenary, or bullet sponge for one of the 3 aforementioned occupations. Drugs, guns, and murder fill the oddly clean streets. Obesity is no longer a problem in the US, as the survival of the fittest is in full swing, with all able-bodied adults either fleeing from bullets or running towards them. It paints a truly grim picture of an America that could be, and serves as a wonderfully insightful criticism of the H3H3 podcast and world in general.
