How to unlock the Becoming Infamous achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to reach the first level of infamy. There are only two requirements necessary for going infamous.
1) Reached level 100. (this is also another achievement on its own)
2) Currently possess $200,000,000 in offshore cash.
You'll need the offshore cash as a buy in to going infamous and reaching infamy level one. On the main menu after meeting the requirements, "BECOME INFAMOUS" will become an option. After confirming, the achievement will pop and you'll be reset at level 1-0.

TIPS
- For gaining EXP, I highly recommend tackling rewarding heists such as Hoxton Breakout, Hotline Miami & Bomb: Forest. Having stealth EXP bonuses & leveling up at least one perk deck are great ways to quicken the process.
- For gaining large amounts of cash, cooking bags of meth on Rats & Hotline Miami, farming bank heists, The Bombs & Hoxton Breakout are all great techniques of earning cash.

For the sake of 100% completion, is there really any need to go 'Infamous' before completing all the other acheivements? Does it make you stronger or better in any way or is it like a COD prestige and you simply do everything over again with a faster rate of XP?

And is there any information on the XP needed to reach level 100?

Infamy levels give you more EXP and i'm pretty sure better rate drops. I would highly recommend going infamous after everything else is done.

The only thing you lose is access to weapons along with skill points. You'll have to repurchase your skills but the weapons can be unlocked and used as if you never went infamous.

So, do I lose my skill points but can I purchase them again as soon as I became infamous (just money needed) or do I need to level up all again to have them available for pucharsing?

$200,000,000 in the offshore bank account and level 100 are required to passing into the first level of Infamy. Once you pass into Infamy you lose all of your skill points, your skill set configurations, and your spending cash. It is advised to spend all of your spendable cash on weapon and mask slots as to not waste it.

This requires you to reach Level 100 and pay to become infamous. You will need 200 million cash in your offshore account to do so. If you need money then the best heist to do is Hoxton Breakout on Overkill or Death Wish difficulty. They are not easy to do but they have a high payout that varies between 10 million to 14 million depending on difficulty. Otherwise you can do stealth heists like Shadow Raid on higher difficulty, because they are very easy to do once you know where the enemies usually spawn and where they patrol.

after you reach level 100, you will be offered to move to the elite by paying 200 million for this from an offshore account, but keep in mind that all your skills will be lost, you will have to upgrade again)

I recommend doing it last if you only want platinum, otherwise (if you want to play after platinum) then it’s at your discretion.

At the moment, as of patch 1.05, the best “honest” maps for farming XP and $ offshore are Bain: Cook Off and Vlad: Santa's Workshop .

On the Cook Off map you need to cook amphetamine. On OVERKILL difficulty, they give $1,350,000 offshore for one bag. For 30 minutes of cooking you can earn about $15,000,000 offshore and about 2,000,000 XP. It is recommended to play in a closed lobby alone or with friends. Random players can quickly and easily burn down a laboratory if they throw in the wrong chemical.

On the Santa's Workshop map you have to force the "elves" to wrap gifts with drugs of varying degrees of severity. On OVERKILL difficulty they give $300,000 offshore for one bag. In 30 minutes of play you can earn $12,000,000 offshore and about 2,000,000 XP. You can play with friends + leftists. You can ruin the game if all the players go to jail. The only advice is to create a personal lobby, because the connection with the host may be lost, or you may simply get kicked after 40 minutes of playing.

A good example of farming XP and $ on the Cook Off map.
