Simply go to Overkill’s website and sign in with a Steam account to receive a Steam code to redeem. The site is currently being hammered by many trying to get a code so it may take a few tries, but the developer notes on the giveaway’s page that codes are being added every hour.

The Pen was originally added to Payday 2 in April for “The Search for Kento” event, though only a limited number of codes were handed out through the game’s official Steam forums. The melee weapon is a reference to the first John Wick film, and is not the first time the two properties have crossed over.

Overkill recently released Payday 2: Ultimate Edition for Steam on PC, which is the 2013 first-person shooter bundled with almost all of its add-ons. The game was free for a limited time during the bundle’s delay. The studio plans to support the Steam version of Payday 2 with free add-ons and updates until October 2018, while a Nintendo Switch version of the game is scheduled to release later this year.
