How to "gain crime spree levels"?

It's for a story mission, "what we do best".

oh yeah also I was trying to re-customize my community hockey mask, but it didn't have the option to do that, so I tried selling it and buying it back, but now it won't let me buy it again.

Masks that you can put back are tied to achievements, masks that you can sell are found via the card drops... in other words pray to RNJESUS.

lol at the mistake we've all done as noobs in the game... yeah do what Hawkins says. An option would be improving your rate with Offshore Payday, but honestly that's the last thing you want to do, considering you need to get infamies up to 5.

I haven't yet, I've been rather careful when it came to that little bit of text to see which masks are sellible and which can just be put back, of course if you want to still keep those kind of masks the only way to do that will be to completely reset your account progress that way its back in the box instead of being sold.

CrimeSpree is like an Arcade mode way of playing Payday 2.

To activate a CrimeSpree, it is near bottom of the row where you find the "Contract Broker", the one with a skull symbol.

Once activated, you will then have to decide on what "start" do you want. You can start at CrimeSpree level 0, at the beginning for free, or you can pay continental coins to start at a certain milestone or at a previous highscore.

Once that's taken care of, then you will have to select 1 of 3 heists to do, each one giving different CrimeSpree points based on the difficulty and length of the heist. For example, a longer loud heist like "Heat Street" for example will give more CrimeSpree points than a "Bank Heist: Gold".

Choose a heist among the 3 or you can pay continental coins to "reroll" the 3 maps.

Then you play the heist normally, however, the extra loot you gain doesn't count towards the rewards you'll gain in the end, since the way you earn rewards differs from the usual game. For example; On Cook-Off, cooking 3 bags of meth and securing it will yield the same rewards as cooking 10.

The CrimeSpree points then get added to the rank. Everytime a milestone is reached, there will be "Loud" and "Stealth" modifiers, you get to choose 1 of 3 to apply (the modifiers stack), but then the modifiers will stay there until the end of a CrimeSpree which is when you claim the rewards. These will change how the game works and plays during the respective heists. For example; a modifier for stealth can be that will be "Alarm will be sounded if more than 10 civilians are killed".

At every Milestone of 50, there will be a forced modifier that increases the health and damage dealt by EVERY enemy in the game. These will stack, which will amplify the health and damage of said enemies which increase the difficulty.

However, the greater your CrimeSpree rank is, the greater the rewards will be, so while it may be a challenge to play, the rewards will be worth it in the end.

After when you fail a heist, you can pay continental coins to retry again, or you can abandon it, effectively putting your CrimeSpree to an end. You will have to manually claim rewards, which can be done by opening the CrimeSpree menu again, and should be the first tab.

The rewards will include; Experience, Cash, continental coins and the "Loot card drops" (the card thing you choose after beating a heist) and unique skins that can only be earned from CrimeSpree drops.

Y e e t
Essay time, anyway, that's as much as I can bother to explain, CrimeSpree is really fun and enjoyable, and it's one of the only ways to reliably earn/farm continental coins.

You can get it out of a card drop like any other non-DLC mask.

I would advice against playing solely for getting a mask, but it's your call. You can also try rolling the Offshore Casino (one of the tabs on Crime.Net's tab bar), which is basically the same 3 cards but you can pick how many of them will contain certain type of item.

I would advice against that as well in your case though, as you don't have too much Offshore Cash to spend. Unless you don't intend on buying any contracts in the near future.

In my comment also I recommended against Offshore Casino, because if you check his profile, they have no infamy. If he spends it all on a mask, it's going to take ages to get the cash back for an infamy level.

It's basically just Prestige that gives you some extra XP gain and the first 5 (if going in a + formation) levels of it lower the skill point requirement to reach the next tier in the first 4 skill trees.

The missing mask and the need to get a Crime Spree up to 100 are problems that can both
be solved together by doing a whole lot of Crime Spree.
