Buying Contracts
Right, sorry for asking, I decided to ask myself since the few topics I glanced into didn't really answer my question.

At any rate, buying a contract. I presume it'll allow me to play the mission at the difficulty I choose, at any time...however, does this allow me to only play the mission once?

Namely, can I buy a contract, then play that mission at will for free from then out? Or do I have to pay the cost each time?

You're basically paying the guy so he asks you to do the job.

It's like paying with ingame cash rather than paying with real life time, waiting for the heist to appear.

Edit : Didn't explicitly said it, but it means there's no difference between buying a heist or picking one in the lobby, except the cost.

Buying a contract will let you play that heist once (PRO heists will be finished even if you fail)

A good way for getting money and EXP is to play 4Stores over and over looting the ATMs. GoodLuck!

Well, not so much the EXP since they implemmented the negative bonus if you replay a mission over and over... I mostly meant for if I wanted to, for example, play specific missions with friends, or wanted to play a specific group of missions for a side-job.

At any rate, thanks! Bit of a pain that I have to pay each time...but still. I can just play the hell out of Santa's Workshop.

Buying a contract will only let you play the select heist once. If you want to repeat it, you'll have to purchase it again. This feature was originally added to bypass waiting for a desired heist to show up on CRIME.NET for random amounts of time, and you can still profit heavily while spending your offshore funds on it.

It uses offshore funds? ..I'm not sure if this is good, because I need my spending money for mods and weapons, or bad, because I'll need offshore for infamy once I manage to get there.

You can just buy contract that pay more offshore money than it takes (aka. Hoxton Breakout, or grinding Santa's Workshop).

20% of the money you earn is separated into spending cash, which goes into paying for loadout upgrades. The rest (offshore funds) goes into buying contracts and paying for the first 5 levels of Infamy. You'll be fine with your cash so long as you earn back whatever you spent on each contract.

Ive done 4stores 120something times and when you infamy the - - - for heists are removed.

Yep, you need to pay for it everytime you purchase it.

Purchase contact is simply save your time to play whatever heist you want to play, instead of waiting for the heist with difficulty you design to appear in Crime.net screen. Once you start, fail , terminate or return to main menu - its gone. You need to purchase/wait for it again.

For first 5 infamy, I recommend to wait in Crime.net for high cost heist if you can or look for pub lobby and hope they didn't kick you.
