Easy Ways to Earn XP and Level Up in Payday 3

If you want to get your hands on the best skills and weapons that Payday 3 has to offer you will need to earn XP and level up to meet the requirement to unlock them. This Easy Ways to Earn XP and Level Up in Payday 3 guide will tell you the different ways to get XP quickly.

• Don't Get Caught

  You can earn decent XP rewards that can sometimes be double what you get from standard Infamy bonuses by completing all objectives in stealth and avoiding detection during heists. This though, particularly in the harder difficulties can be difficult to pull off as it requires more time and a well-prepared team.

  It is essential in order to execute a tight plan in stealth runs without being noticed that you learn techniques like Hostage Taking, Lures, and Takedowns. During Casing Mode where you scout the place you want to rob in civilian outfits, you need to make sure you know how dangerous different areas are if you hope to flawlessly execute your plan, these range from Public to Private to Secure.

• Farm Easy Heists

  An easy way of earning a lot of XP is to farm the heists that are not difficult to complete. Each time you complete one of these heists efficiently you will be rewarded with a large chunk of Infamy which will help you to progress to the next level in PayDay 3.

  Look for the easiest heists possible that your team can heist multiple times making sure you play them on the hardest difficulties you can manage. We recommend the 'Dirty Ice' heist and the 'Gold & Sharke' bank heist.

• Choose Shorter Heists for Solo Runs

  When assembling a team of Payday 3's playable characters for a foolproof heist, keep in mind that the XP earned will be shared equally among all participants. The enemies you encounter will be easier to take down, but you won't earn as much experience from defeated foes since rewards are split between everyone. If you plan on attempting a heist alone, opt for shorter ones to avoid a monotonous grind.

• Play on Harder Difficulties for More XP

  In Payday 3 you will earn more XP when you successfully finish heists on higher difficulties. The same concept can be applied to leveling up by getting kills. Combining this method with solo runs on Very Hard can increase XP gain considerably. Keep in mind that this is difficult and does not require you to finish a heist to increase Infamy.

  Taking this into account a good strategy is to simply camp at a choke point in a high-difficulty heist and wait for enemies to come to you before landing headshots to take them out quickly. This allows you to farm experience from targets that are technically harder to defeat than foes on lower difficulties, netting you far more Infamy than normal.

• Complete Challenges for Extra XP

  On the main menu of Payday 3, you can see a list of Challenges you can complete during a heist to earn a bit of extra XP. These will include things like hacking a certain amount of cameras and getting several headshots. Keep in mind Challenges allow you to complete objectives across multiple runs, not just in a single mission.

  Completing Challenges can also earn you other rewards besides XP, these include money and clothing pieces to customize your character in Payday 3. Replay easy heists to meet Challenge requirements.
