Introduction and Notes

This guide shows a complete list with all of the available jobs, displaying the average payout for them on the Death Wish difficulty.

The purpose is to help people who need some quick cash for a respec, or crews who are looking to amass a huge fortune just for the sake of it, or even people who simply enjoy looking at lists of data. Whatever your case, I hope you might find something useful on the following lists. (:

Things considered for this guide:

- The list only considers jobs on the Death Wish difficulty.

- The average payout includes offshore and change cash.

- The listed average time considers public games with random players, and it's possible to complete the jobs way faster if you play with a competent, well-coordinated crew.

- The average payout implies getting all the loot -ie; not using C4 on Transport missions-, and this is reflected on the average time. It's up to you to decide when it's better to sacrifice a couple of bags in order to complete a job faster.

- For jobs which offer a Pro version (Hotline Miami, Hoxton Breakout, Rats, etc.), the Pro version is what is considered for the average payout and experience.

- The listed xp doesn't consider any bonuses, such as infamy, stealth, alive crew, etc, and will vary based on that.

- The best xp and cash over time list is sorted based on the following formula: ( (XP * 10) + Cash) / Time

- There isn't a best xp / time guide, since the considered time implies full loot. If you only care about experience, then only consider the xp list and your best rush time.

Notes on specific jobs

Originally posted by Rats:
Trade and then steal the bags on day 2.

Originally posted by Train Heist:
The time includes the Transport mission, and implies stealthing the Train, since doing it loud would take way longer, and it's near impossible to get all of the bags on loud DW without getting murdered.
It's suggested that you suicide and restart the Train whenever you see more than 5 guards.

Originally posted by Shadow Raid:
DW Shadow Raid can be ECM-rushed if everyone has maxed jammers and the crew is well-coordinated. Maybe you're not getting all, but 4+1 minutes is enough to get you to 12 bags and some more. You'll be getting 10M in 5,5 minutes which probably the best $/minute value in all PD2.

Originally posted by Big Bank:
Listed time implies Bus or C4 escape.

Originally posted by Framing Frame:
Implies ECM rushing day 1, and stealthing day 3, since the best part of the payout comes from the gold.
The listed time implies the whole team working together, and not one person doing everything.

Originally posted by GO Bank:
The listed time considers being reckless with the civs and rushing it; if you want to do it without killing civillians, it will take considerably longer.
There's also a small chance that the vault will be open at the start, in that case you can do it in a couple minutes.

Originally posted by Small Banks (Pro, Cash, Deposit, and Gold):
Listed time considers the use of a saw (ideally more than one) with saw/berserker upgrades.
Manually opening each box will greately increase this number.

Originally posted by Election Day (Warehouse):
The listed time can vary in any direction depending how long it takes to your crew to open all of the locked storage areas.
It's suggested that at least one person brings a saw to quickly open them all during an ECM rush.

Originally posted by Transports:
The listed time considers drilling each van, since it's impossible to get all of the loot with C4. This implies fixing drills, which is a very time-consuming thing to do on DW. It's suggested that you use At least two sets of C4 (12 total) and a saw; even with the lost loot, the time/money ratio would be better than if you drill.

Originally posted by Mallcrasher:
Listed time considers at least one saw and a couple C4 or 8 ECMs and picking the locks of the boxes.

Originally posted by Four Stores:
Listed time implies C4 to get the required money in 30 seconds or less.

Originally posted by Big Oil:
Listed time implies getting the right reactor on the first try and not drilling the server doors.

Originally posted by Art Gallery:
Listed time implies ECM rush.
