What's the point of infamy?

[depression♡]

im an infamy level 3 & so far i haven't noticed any pros to it. When i go infamy i lose all my skill points, all my weapons, all my money, 200mil from my offshore, etc. for pretty much no reward. Sure i get a semi-cool mask or a 10% XP boost but that's not worth starting over with absolutely nothing all the time. What's the point when i could just stay level 100 & keep all my weapons, all my skill points, all my money & not have to keep starting over. I don't see any other benefit to it other than some mask i don't really need & a small XP boost. Am i missing something?

Tier 4 cost reductions (for the first 5 levels at least).

Do you even read the infamy skills description?

After 5, nothing.

+XP to give CC faster.
Provided anyone still uses XP as intended rather than just farm Safehouse Raid or Crime Spree, reducing the currency value to nill.

You can get more bonus XP as you infamy so you infamy to infamy faster.

Jokes aside, the skill reductions can save 2 points for every skill tree you climb to tier 4, it helps cause most skills suck.
Infamy becomes free after 5 because there's no advantage to going above that, only cosmetics which you can get all of by 17.
You can also buy a lot of stuff with your spending cash, sell it after you infamy or just buy slots, eventually though you won't care about spending cash.

From infamy 1-5: skill reductions, allowing you to have more diverse skill trees. Also extra XP and nice masks.

Infamy 5 onwards: extra xp and nice masks. Infamy 5 onwards is just for fun.

Infamy 5 make you need less points to get further in the skilltree without needing to speed points on useless ♥♥♥♥. Btw you don't loose weapons.
The infamy stuff is like prestiege on COD, no real benefits just increase your playtime making the game not turn ''boring'' (is really pointless do heists at lvl 100).

You can either go grind your level up to 145 to get more skill points for tier 7 or choose to get an infamy bonus by becoming more infamous. Infamy has 14 levels and the last one being Ace of Spades.
Get powerful skills such as bomb suit armor, convert specials or get infamy bonus such as tier cost reductions. Exactly what infamy 3.0 wanted to becom....wait, I'm posting in a wrong timeline

It's a way for the game to reward you for levelling up. You gain an advantage over a non infamy player by having to spend 2 points less to reach the top tier skill tree.

Eh, at least its better than that one game, i forgot one its called...call of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Yeah i think thats whats its called. Farming safehouse raid is soooo boring, and im not trusting crime sprees till they fix it.
