Why do people bag throw train?

[Sluttershy]

It's always been something I do without really knowing the reason. I know that it's better than just carrying the bags, but I don't know why. Could someone enlighten me?

Jump throw crouch run catch - repeat.

Most dodge and highest speed possible. (and it's friggin funny)

Otherwise throwing from cover to cover. Because cover.

With Fast Hands (and preferably Transporter aced), it becomes a significantly faster way of bag hauling.

However, don't do it in stealth unless you're in a 100% safe area like the sewers in Shadow Raid, as people in Payday 2 have very selective eyesight. When it comes to people in bright pink masks, they can't see much. But a black gym bag in the middle of the night is an obvious landmark that can be seen from miles away in the Payday universe.

Additionally, it lets you move the bags all at once, so to speak.

Leaving them out in the open while you're running with another one just means you'll have to walk twice as much, because some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cop will have hauled to the other end of the map.

Going by mathematical examples:

Point A: 0m
Point B: 10m (within throwing range)
Time taken to sprint over with light loot bag: about less than two seconds

Just look at it this way, you are saving about two seconds per bag by doing a bag train.

It's, after all, a bag tossing simulator.

You can do that run crouch and catch thing on the roof of the warehouse since the guards seem to be blind to anything above their heads (mostly)

It's only faster with money bags to be honest. Anything lighter you can just sprint with, and anything heavier can't be thrown far enough to be worth it.

That's if you're going purely for getting one bag from point A to point B.

On jobs like Watchdogs, you generally want to get the bags out of the truck ASAP to some place with more cover.
