Payday Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Smallz — The entry refers to the character as 'Smallz' in the intro and tagline, but the correct name is 'Nafe Smallz'.

Clown Mask — The heist crew is called the 'Payday Gang' or 'Payday crew', not 'D-Bags'.

Clown Mask — The primary members are Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains, but they are not referred to as 'D-Bags' in canon.

New York City — The entry states the primary setting is Washington, D.C., but the title and tagline refer to 'New York City', which is incorrect for Payday 3's setting.

Diamond Store — The entry claims the game features seven difficulty levels, from Normal to Death Sentence, but Payday 2 actually has eight difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Overkill, Mayhem, Death Wish, Death Sentence, and Death Sentence One Down.

Diamond Store — The entry states that the Diamond Store heist is set in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, where the entire game takes place, but not all heists in Payday 2 are set in Washington, D.C.; some take place in other locations.
