I disagree, at least in this situation.

Crime Spree is technically the best way to get anything, sure, but when we're talking about someone who needs perk points, we're probably talking about a new player here, and Crime Sprees only start to really become worth it in the cash/exp department if you go heavy into them.

Crime Spree's only suitable for people who have a maxed out build and know what they're doing, pretty much.

The simplest answer, OP, is to play the game. Keep moving up difficulties as you get comfortable with them to maximise exp/cash gains (You want to get up to Overkill as fast as possible), and play big heists such as Rats, Hotline Miami, Hoxton Breakout, ecetera in order to get the highest exp gains.

Somone correct me if this was a) changed or b) my memory is failing me: Not entering the perk deck screen for a while helps, because you get more converted perk-XP the higher your level is at the time you visit it.

I don't know when it was changed, but it was: not entering the perk deck screen for a while no longer boosts your perk exp gain. The game seems to remember which level you were when you gained the experience and which rate it should convert that experience at. When you go into perk deck screen after multiple heists and levels, the conversion rate displayed is an average of conversion rates involved.

I went through two full tiers of Infamy, one with checking in after every heist, one with no checking at all through the entire infamy until reset and a single ukrainian job on Normal which boosted me to level 4. In both cases, I recieved a little over 25 thousand perk experience(just barely enough to fully fill two perks).

It seems that when the game decides on conversion rate from a heist, it only checks which level the heist leveled you up to. Therefore, a series of shorter heists will give you more perk experience than a single long heist that gives the same total amount of experience, since for the entire long heist the conversion rate will be at highest level, while in the multiple heist case you will get experience converted at intermediate levels.

If experience from crime spree also gets converted by the level that the crime spree boosted you to, then crime spree is probably the least effective method of gaining perk experience.

I am not a new player. I have played the game since beta. I meant how to get them the fastest.
