Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

First of all these are the REAL NUMBERS, not a estimate.

It takes 2800 points to reach mastermind.

If you play a ranked fragile alliance and get a good ammount of money and win you are looking at anywhere from 50 to 70 points.

If you play arcade bridge level and get out with 4 million on level one its 25
points.

If you play airport and run up the steps for 10 rounds without looting its 170 points. Takes about 15 minutes. This seems to be the best and fastest way to level up and I'm pretty sure if you go past round 10 you get even more points per round.

In order to do this start the airport level and run into the open gate area near the main hanger, you will see a set of steps, run up and open the door. Enter and run to the right catwalk and open the first door, run up the next set of steps and get in the chopper. While you go try to be a traitor for a few more points I wouldn't bother as you need to let someone loot first which takes way too much time.

The traitor method may earn a few more points but consider the time it would take to do it and the chance of getting killed. It's not worth it and it's over all faster to just hop in that chopper.

If you can't understand the tactic you can see a video on the airport tactic, please read the guide here for the "the love of money" achievement.


Good luck, use my airport method and you will be a mastermind in no time.

You earn rank points in both Arcade mode and Ranked Multiplayer-matches. I assume you're here because you want to achieve max rank as fast as possible. Then you need to play Arcade Mode, the level Airport. Follow the video in this post and you'll get the hang of it.

To get Mastermind you need a total of 2800 points. Everytime you escape as a traitor by cutting 50/50 with the pilot you gain 25 points. That's 112 rounds if you don't do anything else. (Escaping as a good guy will only net you 17 points.) A round takes roughly two minutes (loading times included.) That's about 30 rounds per hour, in total it should take you about 4 hours, give or take, of grinding to get your Mastermind achievement.

Killing guards, looting money etc won't have any impact at all on your rank points so don't go out of your way for it. It doesn't matter what round you're playing either so don't be afraid to restart from round 1 when it gets too tough rushing.

(Sorta shitty quality on the youtube-link, I'll fix it later.)

Game Type: Arcade Mode
Map: Airport

Rank 1: Mastermind requires 2,800 points.
This can be checked under 'Arcade Stats'.

Notes
- You don't need to loot any cash just follow my path.
- Escaping rounds gives you points, higher rounds give extra points.
- Sharing 50/50 with the pilot makes you a traitor, escaping as a traitor gives you extra points.

Examples of Points
14 rounds completed and shared with pilot rounds 1-11, giving me 326 points exactly.
13 rounds completed and shared with pilot rounds 1-12, giving me 387 points exactly.
26 rounds completed and shared with pilot rounds 1-8, 10-14, 20-21, 23 & 26, giving me over 545 (probably close to 1,000). I capped out at 2,800 so don't know the exact.

How To Survive Rounds Up To 20+ For Insane Points
- Buy the Buqiang 800 assault rifle for easy 1/2 shot kills.
- Eliminate the first 2 cops and watch out for a potential dog straight ahead.
- Hug the right wall and sprint all the way to the gate and up the stairs.
- Open the door and whilst staying outside, kill the guy on the catwalk slightly to your left.
- Still outside wait a few seconds, killing the potential extra guy on the catwalk/windows straight ahead/or they'll be one in the door along your walkway.
- Once this threat is eliminated you'll almost always make it to the escape door alive.
- If you did this fast enough and teammates are alive share 50/50 with the pilot for extra points!

Here is a video of me showcasing this:
Good luck guys!
