PAYDAY 2 came to Linux officially back in 2016 but as of today they've removed support for it, so it will no longer see updates on the Native Linux version.

It does, however, still work quite well with the Windows version via Steam Play Proton on desktop Linux and is Steam Deck Verified against the Windows version in Proton. So while it’s a loss of support for their Native build, it’s still fully playable on Linux.

Yeah, I prefer native if possible, but I understand that it’s not likely to gain much ground outside of the indie/FOSS community. Proton is a lifesaver, made switching over to Linux fully orders of magnitude less painful.
