Youtuber GamingWithMack shares a few quick and dirty tips to help you quickly earn money in surprise UK retail hit Payday 2.
In general, Mack’s strategy is to work hard to earn new weapons, and then immediately use those new weapons. He doesn’t like to grind for cash and prefers to use methods that will give him the needed money quickly.
So, for the Four Stores Job, Mack recommends the Over9000 saw. This job can easily be accomplished quickly, but he recommends you use the saw to quickly and efficiently take all the money out of the cash machines. You can make as much as $ 44,000 off this job.
For the Ukrainian Job, Mack would then have you use the Shaped Chargers, or in other words, C4. Use the shaped chargers to blow up the safe doors and get all the money fast. It is possible to get this job accomplished in under 35 seconds, and there’s actually an in-gam achievement for doing so.
For the Nightclub job, you will want to get in and out quickly. The mission requires no stealth at all, so you’ll want to put on some light armor to protect you and keep you mobile. Using a combination of both the saw and C4 to cut down and/or blow up doors and safes will enable you to collect money quickly.
Finally, the Pro Bank Heist Cash Job is worth a lot of money, and one that’s fun to play with your friends with. You can make between $ 200,000 to $ 300,000 from this job, so it’s almost a stupid obvious job to take.
Who wants to grind in a game like Payday 2? Leave that to the Final Fantasys and the Metroidvanias and go straight for the big and fast payoffs.
