Grinding Safe House Raid is still the fastest way to level isn't it?

White Xmas is surprisingly good if you just sweep all the boxes already on the ground and get out at around the 20m mark. Hoxbreak's largely overshadowed by full-cook Rats for a big massive lump to use a +20% stealth bonus (Election Day!) on. Safe House Raid and Aftershock are both quite good, although on Aftershock that's somewhat dependent on being at a low enough difficulty you can readily move the safes/truck/c4 and accomplish objectives quickly. Armored Transports are actually some of the best returns in terms of xp/minute assuming the team brings a saw and two heisters spec'd for full breaching charge capacity, as they typically give around a half mil xp (at infamy 25) for 3-5m of heisting. Full-scan Boiling Point is pretty good, but much like Aftershock that's somewhat dependent upon being able to do the scans in a timely fashion by keeping the cops off the power, also much like Aftershock the escape can be risky. Ukrainian Job and Diamond Store remain the best choices for full stealth ECM-rushing. If you're trying to post-infamy grind back up my advice is: One Down Ukrainian Job (You'll lose a *little* of the xp to minimum level penalty but it's still worth it vs. doing Jewelry Store instead) One Down Diamond Store (Somewhat longer for around double the returns) One Down Election Day (this is mostly to get a +20% stealth bonus so feel free to drop it to Overkill if you're not comfortable with the added hassle of needing crowbars for the crates on One Down) If you have a crime spree stashed back (and you should) cash it in here to slap on a dozen or more levels. This should put you at 50-70ish depending on how big a crime spree was stashed and what infamy you're on. Best places to cash in the 20% exp bonus from Election Day are Hoxbreak or full-cook Rats with stealing back meth. Hoxbreak's decidedly faster but day 1 is riskier, Rats offers a bigger payout and is safer, but takes longer. In either case, go with the highest difficulty you feel comfortable with given the group you've got. If that's Overkill, it's Overkill, don't sweat it. Going up to Death Wish for it is only around 1m more exp so if you're not confident the group you're with can sweep higher difficulties,

HoxBreak probably shouldn't be in the ~XP Meta~ anymore, it completely lies about how much XP it's worth. I remember seeing 3-4mil XP in the lobby screen and not even clearing 2mil from day 1 and 2 combined (at XXV). If you need to get the absolute most out of a stealth bonus, go for Golden Grin. It's a poo poo map but it's really easy DW loud for quite a lot of XP, and you can do some stealth objectives before going loud to get even more XP out of it. I think I cleared 5 million in one Grin one time when I magically got far enough in stealth to knock out the security room, then went loud and did all the loud objectives. It might take like 45 minutes if you go hard in stealth, so it's probably more time efficient to have someone rush the Archives, fax the blueprints, then get spotted going for reception, but either way it's a lot of XP for a lot of waiting around for cops to spawn already.

Rats lies pretty hard about its rewards too, still in terms of xp/min for one lump to use a 20% on, Hoxbreak ain't terrible since it's a 7-digit xp haul. Golden Grin does deserve adding to the list, since there's a shitload of extra bags in that and no real reason not to take them all.

Whatever the lobby says the XP reward is, always divide by the number of days. No, really; that's the problem.

The reality is even at zero infamy, with goons around to help out the XP meta really isn't all that important anymore. I mean, by all means follow the basic outline of chairface's approach, but it's not as if clearing a million xp in a heist is all that rare these days.

UnknownMercenary posted:I've long been of the opinion that the game should start difficulty at Very Hard. Of course, this was back before Housewarming, and we already had too many difficulties. 7 difficulties right now is 3 too many. Agreed, I think Normal, Hard and Very Hard should all be condensed into one difficulty called Normal. Then have Overkill and up, or maybe even find a happy medium between Mayhem and Death Wish and make those one difficulty.

Very Hard is way different than Hard. It's about double the spawns, tans and greens and a lot more. Hard is a good starting point for a 0 infamy 0 level with 0 friends / help (outside of AI.) Besides, not everyone has access to goons is one of my points.

Those with extensive background in PD: TH can probably complete smaller loud heists on Overkill, even at level 0 and with an Amcar and Chimano. That's how I began PD2, albeit with a more seasoned player guiding me as well. Agreed that there are too many difficulties. Normal is totally unnecessary, so remove it and then merge Hard and VH, maybe reduce the spawn a little, and call that Normal. Overkill and Mayhem can be merged as well - keep the green and tan SWAT; introduce the Gensec elites only on DW like it used to be - and leave OD as it is. That'll produce a system of four difficulties not significantly different from the stupid 7-tiered one now.

The gap between Very Hard and Overkill is even smaller than that between Mayhem and Death Wish. You'd think that would be impossible, even in this brave new post-safehouse world. So that makes two difficulties I could tell you to purge right off the bat.

Normal, Hard and Very Hard will be rolled into an Easy mode in Payday 3. OVERKILL will become NU Hard, Mayhem will become OVERKILL and Deathwish will remain the same. No word on if One Down doesn't get some fine tuning.

One Down will be an optional modifier you can add on top like the old Pro Job. Atleast that's what they should do.

I smashed my fingers into finally breaking my unresponsive and terrible old keyboard and mouse on OD Goat, inflicting upon myself the indignity of a thousand worthless early OD builds that all died from sheer incompetence. Death is no longer a salvation for me.

Sicario in LBV with any kind of health regeneration is incredibly potent. Which I guess it should be if you're going out of your way for it. Even so, it's quite nice. Having played with both LBV and suit more, I think LBV is the way to go. With the understanding that you NEED TO SPRINT if you come under significant fire. Before your LBV is actually broke. Another way to put it is Sicario is really good.. at running away from a fight.
