Description

Shadow Raid ECM rushed in ~1m40s for an XP reward of 1.4M. Everything you need to know to optimize the rush to this level, including detailed explanations of the 4 roles, my suggestion for the optimal pathing, and general things to keep in mind.
As the disclaimer at the start of the video indicates, the idea behind having multiple heists with excellent XP efficiency is to avoid doing any heist repeatedly, which would lower its efficiency by 30%. By playing the usual Diamond Store on repeat (with a -30% penalty), you can get a full infamy level every 37 minutes (if tryharding) or 40-45 minutes (average lobby). By combining different heists into a rotation, and avoiding the XP penalty, you can get a similar farming speed while avoiding the boredom that comes from repeatedly rushing DS.

➽ STEAM GROUP? I've created a Steam group for subscribers, with the objective of bringing together heisters who are informed about these strategies. This should make it easier to find crews for coordinated ECM rushing, stealth lobbies, achievement runs, and more strategies coming soon!

➽ FOR ADVANCED HEISTERS WHO CARE ABOUT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF OPTIMIZATION: as you might have noticed, the heister(s) on your team responsible for SW boosting should start doing so only after entering the main building. This is to prevent the orange civ from becoming alerted too far from the vault. If you would like to start the SW boost earlier, you can do so with Molotovs, which is also a very common choice in high-level lobbies. Related to this, clearly the whole rush could be optimized a bit more by using Yakuza, since we didn't use a single pECM here. However, this is one of many videos in a series of "heist rotations for XP farming" (for heisters of all levels), for which having Hacker equipped for certain heists is a requirement. Thus, even though it's possible to switch between both decks at the click of a button (even after Infamy fully resets all your profiles), I decided to make the "introductory level" assuming Hacker perk deck.
