Breaking the 19-minute barrier... | New Fastest Infamy Farming for Beginners!

[@Marcmb]

Hey everyone! We have prepared a full steam guide for this rotation, which explains what to do on each of the different heists (DS0 / HT / HCat / ED / BC / DS2) depending on your color (Green, Blue, Red, or Yellow). It's a decently quick read because you only need to choose 1 of the 4 colors, and read the sub-sections corresponding to that color. For this rotation in particular, the highest difficulty is for the HOST role, but as you can see from the video, Host is definitely possible to learn and master. You can find the guide here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3331068930 If you would like to participate in these rushes, then choose a color, read the guide, and join our Discord server to get started! Good luck :D

[@alkitgaming]

let it be known that taking all the 1300 dollar money bundles is NOT a timeloss

[@Marcmb]

Every time you play this heist you MUST get every single money bundle and stack of chips in the vault. Of course not when rushing though, that would take a massive amount of time :p (time investment, not timeloss).

[@kel000001]

I don't even play payday 2 anymore but I just love these videos. The perfect ECM rushes is how you expect in a movie!

[@Marcmb]

Thank you very much Kel! Happy to hear you're still enjoying the content, even as a currently retired heister. I appreciate it :D

[@Nosgard]

just stuns me to see the level of planning and routing, I thought I enjoyed "proper stealth" more in payday 2..and I think..in general I still do? but this is an awe-inspiring sight to behold to be sure! really great efficiency! :D

[@Marcmb]

Haha, thanks Nosgard! Back in the day I also preferred sneaky stealth a lot more, but the level of coordination and optimization that goes into some of these rushes is something that really caught my interest. Glad you liked this video and new XP route :D

[@Laughing2TheBanks]

i remember when 40 minutes was the fastest infamy time, great job!

[@Marcmb]

That was such a long time ago! I took inspiration from the sub-40 thumbnail to make this one :D It's incredible how much the strategies have improved since then.

[@ThatCrystalityGuy]

I know the Queen's Wrath probably means literally nothing other than a concealable AR that isn't the CAR-4 but still made me smile to see my fav gun

[@Marcmb]

Glad you liked that Flamedramon! Back when I played loud heists, the Queen's Wrath used to be one of my favorites. For some reason its noise range is slightly lower than regular ARs (makes sense, since it's Clover's weapon) so we opted for this one to be slightly safer at the casino (on average) while climbing the guard :D

hey marcmb, love your vidoes have just reccently got in to payday 2. but what is it you use for HUD where you can see abilities, is it a setting or a mod?

[@Marcmb]

Hey Rud0lf! Glad you're enjoying the content, thank you very much :) As for the HUD, all that information and those timers are being displayed by my HUD mod, which is PocoHUD. If you're interested, you can find my MODDING VIDEO in the description, which has install instructions, and download links. Hope this helps! :D

[@kamcio4323]

even more turret uses in ecm rushes now :D

[@Marcmb]

Yes! They help a lot in Border Crossing big warehouse, clearing a lot of guards while you're just looting (and of course the HCat version of Black Cat also!).

[@smasher4291]

Extremely impressive run. Do you know what your sum of best is? I hope there's some new strats come out for this eventually because these infamy speedruns just never get old tbh.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Smasher! The current sum of bests is 17:44, so it can definitely be a bit faster! We wanted to showcase a clean run where we got the worst RNG possible for Election Day, and also double Border Crossing weapons. We're also working on new strats on new heists to bring the time even lower, so look forward to that :D (mostly rotations with 0 ED to fully remove this RNG factor)

Breaking the 2 minute barrier

[@Marcmb]

Maybe someday! Harsh goal...

[@smasher4291]

If you were allowed a full cheat run with carry stacker all set to 0, rng modifier, and instant interactions, and whatever else you might want. How much time do you think you could save?

[@Marcmb]

Hi again Smasher! Regarding this question, the important one is RNG Modifier because some people might consider it "less cheaty", even though it is a blatant time skip on these strategies. With proper RNG Modified strategies, you could easily try to hunt a time 2 minutes faster than this... As for Carry Stacker and Instant Interactions, I've never used them because the speedrun would easily be labeled cheated due to these cheats, but I would expect a similar timesave to RNG Modifier, depending on the heists.

[@hackersource4634]

I was here towards the end. I have been lacking motivation as of recently, any suggestions for things i could do?

[@Marcmb]

Thanks for dropping by Source! I appreciate it :D As a suggestion, have you looked into CUSTOM HEISTS? The community has created lots of them, and they can add some refreshing new content to the game.

[@hackersource4634]

@@Marcmb I uninstalled and reinstalled (different drive) the game and I'm playing through it from start to finish completely vanilla.

[@hackersource4634]

@@Marcmb I beat the career mode. I also did a lot of firsts. First time doing Framing Frame stealth. First time doing Shacklethorn Auction stealth (also got the wrench). First time completing the White House on stealth. It was a nice experience, brought back some nostalgia of playing the game for the first time. Overall, I think that it makes me appreciate the game even more.

[@TheDerkus]

"Clients don't have guard hitboxes" 4:22 can you explain what this means?

[@Marcmb]

Hey Derkus! Absolutely :) I couldn't go into too much detail because I would've had to pause the speedrun, but glad you asked. Basically if you try the host skip shown at 5:02 (climbing on the guard) while playing as Blue, you will find that the guard has no hitbox, so it is impossible to do the climb. This is now a host-only role, even though in the previous infamy video (The Lucky Rotation), we had Blue specifically doing this role!

[@kaso00]

Yo king, do you have any idea if i should farm car shop? I can solo it in death sentence, Or do you have any idea for offshore money and xp farm? Rotations are so hard for me.

[@Marcmb]

Hi Ninja! That's correct yup. I use "Clean Gamelobby" mod to remove the video and animations, and then "Black Menu Backgrounds" by pinki_ninja (mod override) to make the background look gray.

[@iflyplanesthrutunnels]

can you please make a rotation which doesn’t need DLC, would be really nice for dlcless/minimal dlc players like me

[@Marcmb]

Hey Planes! The choice of heists would be a bit more limited, but it's certainly possible yup! Keep in mind that if you're playing coop, only the host needs to own the DLC. Still, conceptually it would be nice to make a rotation with 0 DLC. I'll get on it as a for-fun project :D

[@iflyplanesthrutunnels]

@@Marcmb small issue, i don't got friends to play with

[@ito_obli]

Could the RNG be manipulated to see a theorical perfect run? i think it would be interesting to see how quick it could be done

[@Marcmb]

Hey Ito! It would certainly be possible yup, the run would become easily 2 minutes faster... I might do it in the future for ONE demonstration run, because it would be extremely cheaty :p

[@PulseCardiacSensor]

idk if this was first take or not but how consistant are these. gaining 3 infamies under an hour is absurdly good

[@Marcmb]

Hey Pulse! The runs are consistently no-restart yup, and this run had lots of timelosses (such as the PC being needed on Election Day) so you can expect some variance, but especially slightly faster runs. In the future I might make some speedrun videos for "3 infamies in a row" because as you say the speed is insane, and more runs in a row gives a better idea of how RNG affects it :D

What mod do u have that made the diamond store night time

Hey Adam! I use Time Selector personally :) You can find it on the Modworkshop by searching this name!

[@fotisvretos6049]

HELLO, i noticed that in those rotations in the last DS 500k exp gets wastedsince you reach lvl 100. cant you optimise by not doing some quests that give exp from the previous heists in order to save some time?

[@Marcmb]

Hi Tarramas!! That's correct yup. This rotation is optimized for BEGINNERS, so that you can misplay one or both Border Crossings, lose the stealth bonus at the end, and still reach 100 at the end of the rotation. However, after this one, we have some faster rotations that are optimized for ~1K XP overflow, meaning that if you miss a single thing in the entire rotation, you finish at 99!

[@MonsieurMoai]

What if, hypothetically, I have no friends and I am like really, really, really bad at stealth anything, even with ECM jammers? Like, 1000-hours-to-complete-the-mandatory-stealth-contracts-on-normal bad?

[@Marcmb]

Hey Moai! In such scenarios, we recommend joining our Discord server to find other people to play with, and learning everything from scratch as a beginner! Although it's definitely optimal to learn how to stealth these heists, before learning how to rush them :p

[@Cxmbs-CS]

i frikin love stealth but i just cant play it that well sadly so i like watchingthis n pretending im playing

[@Marcmb]

Haha, no worries Cxmbs! For doing stealth well, it's all about practice. It might be messy at first, but by practicing and understanding what's going on, you can improve immensely. Glad you enjoy watching these :D

if you added voice overs on your videos, i would watch them daily in the background while i work. But because i need to read the subtitles, its really hard to put these in the background 🥲

infamy 511? what? how? I understand that 500 is the maximum

[@Marcmb]

Hey Achilles! Excellent question. The maximum is indeed 500, but there's a mod called "Infinamy" which removes the limit for those who want to continue. The issue is, until recently, this higher infamy was only displayed on your own PC, no one else could see it. But last week Dyrax made a new mod called "Infinamy Multiplayer" which allows this real infamy level to be displayed to others (capped to 511 if the person looking doesn't have the mod).

If you would like to learn the rotation, we have a full Steam guide coming soon, although if you prefer fast rotations but slightly slower (about 5 minutes slower than this) then HTFC is a good option and we have a full guide for it. That's the one most people in our server play these days :D

[@Fueled_Battery]

not gonna lie, wish there was a mod or something to reset infamy back to 0 or something. i exploited a xp bank mod and my infamy is really high. id even take restarting the game from scratch.

[@Marcmb]

Aww that's a shame, I've heard other stories who boost their infamy with some mods and then it feels dirty. You _could_ wipe your infamy and inventory for example like I did here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3K6iYVshNmAmKc (because I reached 500 and still wanted more infamies), but I would say make a backup first, because it's a very drastic reset...

[@p0kem0nlvl1]

bro those are literally the niggas in the video

[@jakex1091]

Title is a bit misleading, this would take over an hour and would need a different rotation for beginners. You get way more xp for being infamy 25 plus, I'm assuming by beginners you meant people who havent speedran infamy before but the title more so would make someone new to the game wanna follow it I believe, and they would be disappointed to find out they are level 80 something after doing all this.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Jakex! The infamy XP bonus is capped at Infamy 25, so it's not too bad. All infamy rotations are designed with Infamy 25+ in mind because the first few are very quick, and if you're going for higher infamies, it makes no sense to do extra heists per rotation just to accomodate for lower infamies (those at sub-25 either use the Infamy Pool, or do 2 rotations per infamy, which isn't too bad!). As for the rest of the points, you are underestimating beginners here! We don't mean someone who has just installed the game (this is NOT fun for a fresh player, it's better to play the game normally), but rather people who have put in some time to read the guide and learn what to do on each heist, just with no previous practical experience. The previous rotation that we showcased, HTFC, was also designed for beginners, but 3 minutes slower than this (22:30 in IGT). In our Discord server, every day we have LFP runs with players between Infamy 1 and Infamy ~150, and they can complete the HTFC rotation without issues :D That's why we made this new rotation for beginners, to give more variety to those who are ready for the next step! There are even harder rotations than this, but those aren't very beginner-friendly. Of course, these rotations come together with a full Steam guide (otherwise they are impossible to coordinate).
