How to Level Up Fast in Payday 3
You’ll level up by completing Challenges in Payday 3. In your Challenges tab, you’ll find three separate categories outlined: Career, Combat, and Heist. This is where you can monitor your Challenges progress under each subset. Depending on your area of focus, you’ll earn different rewards for completing specific kinds of challenges, including Infamy Points, money, and the occasional cosmetic item.
With this in mind, completing Combat and Heist challenges are your best bet to earn significant XP and level up fast. During Combat challenges, you’ll be tasked with using a variety of weapons to your advantage, from landing headshots to breaking shields. On the other hand, Heist challenges require meeting specific criteria and completing objectives, much like achievements. These can range from beating a mission before the cops arrive to escaping unscathed.
How to Gain Infamy in Payday 3
In the long run, completing Combat and Heist challenges can help you during Career challenges, which are more geared toward reaching specific Infamy levels. These will also net you C-Stacks. We recommend running through as many Combat and Heist challenges as you can to rack up XP as fast as possible and reap the rewards by gaining Infamy Levels in Career.
What is the Max Level in Payday 3?
You can level up to Infamy Level 150 in Payday 3. Of course, you will have already scored all new weapons and skills at this point in the game. Specifically, you’ll have earned 21 skill points in total, allowing you to optimize Stealth builds and more.
That said, reaching the max level cap is more or less just another way to advertise your own experience as a player and show your honed skills. Not to mention, you’ll be ale to take on heists with higher difficulty levels with greater ease.
