I hit level 100 - heard I shouldn't prestige immediately

[Andrew]

What do I need to know? Help me out homies

Buy a lot of expensive weapons to sell then after doing prestige, also do some achievments like Guessing Game and etc that you have the chance now that you are level 100.

You can also start a crime spree and make it into a VERY high level to claim rewads later but by doing that you might skip most of infamy which reduces your experience and knowledge of the game per infamy so i think its just better to get infamous the normal ways

[Copy & Cat]

A good idea is to do some crime spree so you can save up some exp and claim rewards after doing infamy to skip the low level hurdle,

Btw, its Going Infamous. not going Prestige, Going Prestige is CoD stuff.

They're both kind of the same thing, just different names.

If the person you are talking to or you preffer to say prestige then its fine .-.

[Bungus]

To sum it up,buy as many weapons as you can,more expensive the better. Unlock wepaon and mask slots,unlock skillsets,get a crime spree going to a decent level. After you infamy,sell the weapons and claim your rewards for a jump start.

Not really...
Prestiging in Call of Duty usually has different meanings, I believe, usually based on game. In Call of Duty Black Ops 2, you get the ability to select any one gun to use for the rest of the game.
In PAYDAY 2, going Infamous (which is a very different thing) only puts a special number next to your name in Roman numerals and gives you either a trashy mask or an EXP Boost. Or, you get a special boost for your Skills.

They are not the same thing. Stop saying they are the same thing. You are making enemies by doing this

Uh, yes. It's the same concept as prestige in earlier COD games. Start over from the beginning, except with a fancy tag next to your name. MW2 gives bonuses like more weapon loadouts, PD2 gives you tier cost reductions for skills, bonus XP, and some unique masks.

Drama queen.

Alright, guys, just, shut up about '' prestige or infamy '' already, whatever the person likes to say to mean '' become infamous '' its fine as long as people can understand it.

I'm talking about the exact meaning, prestige indicate how famous or important a person is, while infamy is a way to negatively affect the reputation of a a person.

Staying at Level 100 doesn't have much practical value, but at least IMO it's just nice to relax with your well-earned status as max level, rather than immediately rushing into Infamy, especially as Infamy levels aren't very important.

[Liro Raériyo]

Ive heard a friend of mine call it resurrecting and he plays alot of MMOs, but regardless what its called, at the end of the day, you are setting your level to 0 and aquiring a minor boost for doing so that when you have fully leveled back up might make a difference.

Torchlight actually has something similar to this with heirloom items, after retiring a character you can choose one item to heirloom for the next character to use, and that character can use it immediately as... at the very least the requirements to equip said item are lowered by 95% if not outright removed, and each time you heirloom the item it gets stronger, so even if its a top teir end game super item, a level 1 can use it essentially out the gate, might have to wait till level 2-3 but it wont take long.

In payday 2's and torchlights case, the consecutive effect of doing this over and over is noticable, as each time you do it in both these game the path to do it becomes easier and shorter (payday with bonus EXP, torchlight with unmatchable items early on) to encourage repeated use.

cant speak for the other two though, as i would have to play them.



But my point being is at the end of the day, it has many names, infamy and prestige are just two of the many ways the "new leveling+" as i shall dub it may be called.


Edit: Oh and for OP's question, yeah uh when you do infamy, just make sure to spend all the on hand cash you can before you do, unlock weapon slots, mask slots, you name it, not much point in buying weapons though, that was to keep some cash ready to spend on skills before, but now that its free... not much point to that, otherwise it is entirely at your descretion when you decide to infamy.

Doing infamying gives you a pathetic little boost to the highest tier skills, you don't need it unless you are looking to make goofy dw/od builds that need it harder then Dallas needs his medic bag.
