- It is not possible to get all the cool abilities. You will have to pick and choose here and there.
- There are no penalties when you Respec your Skills. It only cost money. Everyone respecs now and again.
- 3 or 4 big jobs with $1,000,000 payout will finance a full respec so don't worry about your builds too much.
- ALL skills are useful as it adds something to your abilities.
- Difference between builds is what it allows you to do and what roles you fit on any given Crew.
- Experience counts ALOT when deciding what to get and what to sacrifice. Only way to find out what works for you is to actually try them out and see for yourself. Everyone plays different and discovering stuff is a big part in Payday fun.

< Kine's Suggested Routines >

When learning Payday stick to beginner missions first.
You'll only end up dazed and confused doing the expert missions too early.

There are good reasons to Stealth missions but approach the topic methodically (I'll cover that later)
Don't force yourself to stealth but when playing with randoms be aware that some will want to.
Find out what they want from you via chat or mic.
In most cases, staying out of their way works well enough.
If that doesn't sound like much fun right now, don't join stealth-able missions.

Easy Assault Missions


  1. 4-Stores
  2. Mall
  3. Nightclub
  4. Watchdogs
  5. * Jewellery
  6. * Ukrainian
  7. * Diamond
  8. * Bank

Those last four maps can be assaulted or stealthed equally easy. These are the ones you need to find out if people want to crash the place or stealth them. Normally if they fail their stealth attempt you can continue the mission by fighting your way out. If people want to retry stealthing it again that means they want you to suicide so the game ends and they can restart.

Watchdogs is simple enough to do early. And by Creed standards - we all should be able to do them under-equipped, under-leveled. Cash rewards for it is also very good. I seek this map out every chance I get <3

Learn to stealth Jewellery

Ideas behind that map will expand to everything else step by step.

Jewellery --> Ukrainian --> Diamond --> Bank --> Shadow Raid --> All Expert Missions

Jewellery and Ukrainian is basically the same map with the latter offering better payouts.

Diamond introduces the idea of security rooms and the camera as well as baiting patrolling guards.

Bank is the same thing as Diamond done on a bigger map so travelling around and timing your sequence is tested. Guard patrols is also more important now and you want to get comfortable assassinating them to move forward with your heist.

Shadow Raid is a whole different chapter in stealthing. It is both simpler and harder. There are too many guards so killing them off is not an option. It relies on your ability to sneak around the map with them still alive and patrolling. Takes time and experience to not fail. Not the place to learn stealthing or to 'have fun'. This is where you go to test your ninja skills for big pay.

----

Stick to those 8 basic maps.


  1. 4-Stores
  2. Mall
  3. Nightclub
  4. Watchdogs
  5. * Jewellery
  6. * Ukrainian
  7. * Diamond
  8. * Bank


When you happen to be in a game where people want to stealth, don't quit. Use it as an opportunity to observe what they do and ask them questions. It doesn't take long to catch on as to what the objectives and sequences are when stealthing.

When you think you've got the idea - go offline mode and try to stealth it solo.

Ability to stealth any of the stealth-able beginner maps will award you with an XP bonus for the next mission. Which should be Watchdogs at Overkill difficulty done together with high level randoms.

---

Finally MAKE FRIENDS.

Add those you work well together to your Steam friends list.
Invite them to your games everytime you get on.
Or PM them to invite you.
Keep expanding your contacts and play with them regularly.
Failing a mission is wasted time. Playing with familiar names help reduce fails.

Easiest way to level up effortlessly is to be part of a high level group that are speed running through missions. You'll learn more and faster than any guide can explain in a forum. Look for these high level experts when you play. Join them and stick around when they go on their routines.

If there are non to be found - run through these 8 basic maps on your own and hope randoms that join you don't fail too hard.

Difficulty level to be done is by default Hard without good equipment.
Very Hard when you have better armour and weapons doing 40+ damage.
If there are good players on your crew, Overkill should be easy to do.

Pro Jobs are not worth it for the time being. Don't attempt those especially with unknown randoms.
