Shadow Raid low xp

[Ritz 'Pic' Schlepitz von Teplitz]

When buying Shadow Raid DW it shows me that I can get from 140k Xp up to 2,6M Xp. I did it with 2 friend about 6 times. Everytime we have even stolen the Shogun Armor from the safe making it out with 16-18 bags + 4 armour pieces and we still got 300k Xp only. What are we doing wrong. What shall be done to get the stated 2,6M Xp? Do you have same experience? Thx

Did it on DW with full crew, we took 21 bags. Got ~300k exp.

Did they nerf it? As you can ECM rush the shadow raid within a couple of minutes. Making it not surprusing that Overkill would nerf it's XP.

Yea, this.

It might be exponential; you'd have to secure every single bag in the map to get that much EXP.

maybe triggering the alarm reduces your experience, so in order to get the 2.6m you can't rush it

If you take all the bags it gives all the xp.
If you take courier packs it gives a bonus.
So maybe you have low lvl? For example it doesn't give the same xp if you are lvl 5 or 10 vs lvl 80..
I don't know how it really works this and on what lvl it gives you more and so on but the game does this look at some payday 2 wiki, on the forums or the guides. I'm sure someone put this in some place.

Maybe they nerfed it because players are rushing it, but we did it the standard way (slow one) all the time. It can be also some mistake in calculations for xp because this is the only mission that shows such difference. Some of them dont event have difference - they show the same xp for Min and Max (Pressing M when buying missions). But generally they NERFED stealth again and left the xp for LOUD missions ONLY. That makes me sad. For example Dockyard on DW gawe me 1M+ exp. Non rushuble mission full of guards and civies. After update I will get only 500kex. Why is the Overkill making it loud mission only? I dont get it. So that will make players to harvest Hoxton Breakout only again.

I am 15-86 and not rushing it.... but thanks for tries... to take every piece of goods I have to drill it, and it will be a miracle for guard not to see your drill.

Yeah, same problem here. Got 20 bags in the last run and got 294000 EXP. You can check the EXP you get hitting tab, it increases every 3 bags you secure. It starts around 44K EXP with the first 3 bags, and increase around another 44K every 3 other bags.

I think it is cheap code that looks at the theoretical maximum, assuming every single loot spawn spawns loot. So each crate has a loot item, the cages have 2-3 items, there are multiple painting spawns, every container outside has cash, etc.

However, I'd wager they hard code that shadow raid can only have a max of like ~21 bags total, so they should have calculated it based on that.

thanks, it can be only some bug from OVk not checking the formula is ok by Shadow Raid and letting it out, but its sad that they nerfed stealth again.

Hmm I'll have to try out again shadow raid, maybe with the new xp system they made some mistake..
If its wrong wait until someone of overkill notice this and I'm sure they will fix it soon..

[Stonepaq]

I hope they nerfed.
Now less unskilled ECM rusher will get free exp.

[Blue13rain]

I've heard that Big Oil is one of the best experience under this system

More stealth nerf would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I love stealth..

Maybe they should nerf ECM rush instead of nerf stealth heists. Some people play real stealth, not ECM rushing, and they have been ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
