Infamy is a gameplay element in PAYDAY 2 introduced in Update #22. It allows the player to "reset" their character and begin anew from the beginning while also gaining a new level. There are five hundred Infamy levels that a player can reach, and a player's Infamy level is displayed next to their in-game level.

Overview

Infamy is a game-extending feature in PAYDAY 2. It enables players at reputation 100 to "reset" their characters in order to begin again with pre-owned gear. Players going Infamous are given a warning at the point of decision, with declining the choice not changing anything; accepting it erases all of their skill progression and resets their Reputation Level to 0, and on the first five tiers also removes all spending cash and subtracts $200 million offshore money. There are 500 tiers in total.

At launch, Infamy progress was tracked by a separate tree not unlike the player's skill trees, with the acquisition of one Infamy tier granting access to the next one. In the Infamy 2.0 update, the interface was changed to a grid. As of Infamy 3.0 the interface has been changed to a linear progression.

Leveling up

The requirements for leveling up one's Infamy are:

• At least $200,000,000 offshore money (first 5 levels only).
• Reputation level 100.
• Not having an active Crime Spree. (All rewards must be claimed before going infamous)

Once these requirements are fulfilled, an additional button will appear in the menu. If the player chooses to level up their Infamy:

• All spending cash is burnt. (first 5 levels only)
• $200,000,000 is subtracted from the offshore account. (first 5 levels only)
• Reputation level is reset to 0.
• Weapons and armor that were unlocked via reputation levels will become locked again due to the above level reset.
• Skills are reset and all unspent skill points are removed.

The player can avoid the latter three events by spending 30,000,000 XP from their Infamy Pool.

However, the player will retain:

• All owned weapons.
• All owned weapon mods.
• All existing Infamy upgrades.
• All masks, colors, materials and patterns.
• All purchased weapon and mask slots.
• Any offshore money left after the $200M deduction.
  • Offshore account and spending cash remain fully intact from Infamy 6 onwards.
• Any built-up boost or penalty applied to a heist.
• All Perks and perk points.
• All weapon skins (They are stored in your Steam inventory) and outfits.
• All owned Continental Coins.
• All earned achievements as well as any rewards earned from them.

Rewards

The player is rewarded with the following:

• An Infamy level card (which looks like a stylised playing card) with a Roman numeral (I to D) depicting their level of Infamy which is shown on their character model in the game lobby.
• A playing card suit icon and a level card number in front of the in-game name.
  • Infamy level 1-100 gives a spades icon (♠) with black details on the Infamy playing card
  • Infamy level 101-200 gives a hearts icon (♥) with red details on the Infamy playing card
  • Infamy level 201-300 gives a clubs icon (♣) with black details on the Infamy playing card
  • Infamy level 301-400 gives a diamonds icon (♦) with red details on the Infamy playing card
  • Infamy level 401-500 gives a fleur-de-lis icon (⚜) with yellow/gold details on the Infamy playing card
• Special Infamy sound effects.
• Infamy background music.
• Special poses for their character in the lobby.
• A class skill point requirement reduction.
• An increased Infamous-grade item drop rate.
• Additional XP gain, counted as Infamy bonus in a payday.
• An Infamous-grade mask, pattern and material set (specific tiers only).

Tips

• When you increase your Infamy level (1-5), you lose all of your spending cash, but not your inventory items. Instead of letting it go to waste, use your cash to buy the most expensive guns you can, until you are out of cash or inventory slots. After your Infamy level increases, you can sell off the items you bought to get back a portion of your spending cash.
  • Once all your gun slots are full, consider using the cash to buy and customize masks. Some masks can be sold directly from your Stash. However, customizations are only sold when a customized mask is sold or returned.
  • Resist temptation to go wild; unlock weapons and mask slots only as needed. You can easily spend all your cash unlocking slots, which you then can't fill and can't sell back.
  • Don't bother modding the weapons you intend to sell back. You don't get money back for returning mods. Pre-modding weapons you intend to keep makes sense, however (see below regarding reputation-locked weapons).
• Be aware of which weapons are locked to specific Reputation Levels, and which are available for use from the beginning. Even if you already own a weapon, you will not be able to use it again until you reach the Reputation Level at which it unlocks. With this in mind, make sure you have a good selection of modified weapons to use once you return to a Reputation Level of zero.
  • DLC owners may want to consider the Eagle Heavy, Commando 553, Gruber Kurz, and/or SpecOps. The Gruber Kurz is particularly popular for its high concealment.
  • Steam Community members can use the Predator 12G and the Interceptor .45.
  • If you don't own DLC, all Akimbo weapons, the AMCAR and Chimano 88 starter weapons, though weak, are always an option and will be provided for free, as detailed below.
  • If you somehow lack a lvl 0 reputation weapon in either the primary or secondary category, then a level 0 weapon will be provided for free.
    • If there are no open weapon slots, then the first slot of your inventory will be overwritten by a level 0 weapon. (Unless you have an open slot already.)
      • The level 0 weapons in question are: AMCAR for primaries and Chimano 88 for secondaries respectively.

Unlocked at Infamy level 17 Venger Based on the crazed leader of the League of Darkness. It's unclear if this was a breathing apparatus or a vocabulator.

Unlocked at Infamy level 19 Heister Sentry This mask was originally designed to be part of a complete head-to-toe heisting outfit.

Someone decided that one of them was by forging this gleaming visage. Good choice? Your decision. THIS IS AN INFAMOUS ITEM! Unlocked at Infamy level 88 Masquerade, The Hokey religions and ancient weapons may not be a match for a good submachine gun, or a getaway van that never breaks down, but a mask like this, intricately crafted by an artisan using techniques handed down through generations, can certainly make you feel like a million bucks when you're putting down a Dozer. Also good for that strange masquerade ball that occasionally comes around. THIS IS AN INFAMOUS ITEM! Unlocked at Infamy level 94 The Heat glasses are named after the 1995 film that the PAYDAY series takes much inspiration from, Heat. The glasses resemble those worn by McCauley in the shootout following his crew's bank robbery. The Plague Doctor mask is a reference to the real-world plague doctors who donned the same mask and are often employed in times of massive disease outbreaks in medieval Europe. It may also be a reference to MAD Magazine's "Spy vs Spy" main characters, namely the White Spy and the Black Spy. The Bhagavad Gita (The song of the Bhagavan), a famous Hindu epic text, was mentioned in its description. The Butcher mask's description references the Pink Panthers, a name given by the Interpol to the real life Slavic international jewel thief network. The Android mask's description is a joke about C-3PO, the protocol droid in the Star Wars series, as he claims to speak 6 million languages fluently. Its appearance and design, meanwhile, are a reference to Daft Punk. The Demonshank mask is a reference to Sauron from The Lord of the Rings franchise. The Heister Sentry looks very similar to the Power Rangers helmet, which is also helped by the description, which talks about a full body spandex suit. The Kamul mask is a reference to Khamul, a Ringwraith from The Lord of the Rings franchise, further supported by the fact that the mask is unlocked alongside the Evil Eye pattern, the appearance of which is similar to the main antagonist, Sauron, from the same franchise. The Lurker mask appears to be somewhat based on a Xenomorph Queen from the Alien franchise, as evident by the shape of the head crest. As well as this, the description also makes references about lurking in shadows, a trait commonly seen in Xenomorphs in the films. The Being mask is based both in description and appearance to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the 2004 movie Van Helsing. "A Modern Prometheus" was the alternate title to the Frankenstein novel and the appearance of the mask is similar to that of the creations of Dr. Frankenstein known as the Dwergi, which also served as Dracula's henchmen in the film. Their fondness for wheat likely is a reference to Frankenstein's Monster being burned alive in a grain mill in numerous film adaptations. The Venger mask and description are a direct parody/tribute to the character of Bane from the Batman series. The aspect of the League of Darkness relates to the The Dark Knight Rises version of the character, while the aspect of the mask being used to inject the user with a serum that granted them super strength relates to the comic/television version of Bane. The name "Nemesis", mentioned in its description, is a clear parody of "Bane". Achievement Milestones These are rewards for reaching achievement milestones.

Trivia

• The resetting nature of the Infamy system is akin to similar "prestige" ranking systems in a number of games, albeit one with gear retention instead of a complete reset like most cases.
  • Alternatively, it can also be compared to the "new game plus" functionality in certain games that allows the player to start their career over, while retaining all pre-owned gear and perks, though unlike some, Infamy does not retain one's reputation levels or accrued skills/skill points, and for the first five tiers, spending cash. 
• Before the Infamy 2.0 update, Infamy levels were divided into tiers and the player would go up to get more levels (as it is still done in the skill trees). Since the second update, however, Infamy levels follow the new design, which gives much more importance to how you spend your Infamy points.
• Originally, there were going to be 14 (XIV) levels, not 25 (XXV), before the Infamy 2.0 update was announced.
  • The original planned 14 tiers of Infamy were represented by a set of 14 spade-suit cards of a poker deck, with the Joker used in place of the Ace for tier 1. Aside from the first Infamy card, this was changed to a collection of plain white cards printed with Roman numerals in either black, red or gold when the Infamy mechanic was revamped.
  • Also prior to Infamy 2.0, the many tiers of Infamy were denoted by Roman numerals next to the player's level in a lobby. After the update, regular numbers were used instead until Update #78 restored the Roman numerals.
• Overkill revealed Infamy 3.0 for Update #200 in the PAYDAY 2: Developer Update video and hinted that there would be 500 (D) levels. This was later implemented into the game in the aforementioned update.
  • Previously, Overkill presented their idea for Infamy 3.0 in a stream and was canned due to negative response.
  • According to community members on the PAYDAY 2 Discord, OVERKILL_Elisabeth has given a statement that going infamous will no longer occur for players with an active crime spree as to "hope that people won't see it as a race to the finish line, but rather try to have fun as they go".
