</>What does Add XP, Levels & Infamy do?
PAYDAY 2 ties your skill points and unlocks to your level, and at level 100 it lets you become infamous and climb all over again. This mod lets you move through that at your own pace. Add XP gives you XP Amount of experience through the game's own XP code, so levels arrive the way they do after a heist, with the same unlocks and the same level achievements. Level Up fills what is left of your current level, and Add 10 Levels does that ten times. All three stop at level 100, the game's cap. Once you are level 100 with infamy rank 1 or higher, the game banks further XP toward your next infamy rank, and Add XP fills that as well. Become Infamous presses the button in the game's Infamy menu for you, so open that menu first. When the banked XP is full, the game raises your rank and keeps your level. Otherwise it is the standard step: your level goes back to 0 and your skills and equipped gear are reset. For ranks 1 to 5 the game also asks for $200,000,000 offshore and takes your spending cash. You still answer the game's own confirmation before anything changes. Heist XP % scales the XP a heist pays, from 10 to 1000, where 100 is the game's own amount. The end screen and the TAB screen show the scaled numbers. All of this changes only your own save, and the mod saves your progress after each XP button. In the menus the XP buttons work in any lobby. During a heist they work when you play solo or host a friends-only or private lobby, because a level-up there also refills your health and ammo on the lower difficulties.
</>What is Add XP, Levels & Infamy?
PAYDAY 2 puts skills and unlocks behind 100 levels, then asks you to climb them again for each infamy rank, up to rank 500. Add XP, Levels & Infamy shortens that climb in four ways. Add XP gives a chosen amount of experience, Level Up and Add 10 Levels complete levels outright, Heist XP % scales what each heist pays, and Become Infamous takes the game's own infamy step from the launcher. XP goes through the game's own code, so levels, unlocks and achievements arrive as they do in normal play, and your progress is saved after each XP button.
</>Common questions about Add XP, Levels & Infamy
What does Add XP, Levels & Infamy do in PAYDAY 2?
It moves your level and infamy rank along without the grind. Add XP gives the amount set in XP Amount, from 1,000 to 10,000,000 a press. Level Up completes your current level and Add 10 Levels does that ten times, and all three stop at level 100. Heist XP % scales the XP every heist pays, from 10 to 1000, with 100 as the game's own amount. Become Infamous presses the button in the game's Infamy menu for the next infamy rank. XP goes through the same code the game uses after a heist, so unlocks and skill points arrive as usual.
Can I press the XP buttons while other players are in my lobby?
Yes, for your own progress. XP, level and infamy rank belong to your save, so the other players only see your new level, as they would after any level-up. In the menus the buttons always work. During a heist, Add XP, Level Up and Add 10 Levels work only when you play solo or host a friends-only or private lobby, because the game refills your health and ammo on a level-up on the lower difficulties. Heist XP % works in any lobby and changes only your own XP.
Why does Become Infamous ask me to open the Infamy menu?
The button presses the game's own Become Infamous button, and that button lives in the Infamy menu, so the menu has to be open. The game's rules stay as they are: level 100, a rank below 500, and enough offshore money for ranks 1 to 5. Press Add 10 Levels until you reach 100, open the Infamy menu and press Become Infamous. If you raised your level with the menu already open, close it and open it again first.
What do I lose when I become infamous?
That depends on which of the game's two routes is open. If you have gone infamous before and the XP banked at level 100 is full, the game raises your rank, empties the banked XP and keeps your level and skills. Otherwise it is the standard step: your level goes back to 0, your skills and equipped gear are reset, and every profile returns to its first skill set. On both routes, ranks 1 to 5 cost $200,000,000 from your offshore account and all of your spending cash, and from rank 6 on the game takes no money. The game's confirmation appears first, and you can still say no.
Do levels from this mod unlock achievements?
Yes. The levels go through the same code as levels earned in heists, so the game hands out its level achievements and its infamy rank achievements when you reach them. If you would rather earn those through play, keep that in mind before you press a button.
Does Heist XP % change Crime Spree rewards?
No. It scales the XP the game works out at the end of a normal heist, which is also what the TAB screen previews during the heist. Crime Spree pays its XP when you claim the spree's rewards, and that amount stays the game's own. Set the number back to 100, or turn the mod off, and heists pay their normal XP again.
