The Best Beginner Heist in Payday 3
When it comes to the best beginner heist in Payday 3, I bet most would expect us to drop No Rest For the Wicked as the go-to for newcomers. Sure, it’s an easy heist at a small-time bank in the big city. It’s also the first heist most players will become intimate with during their playtime in Payday 3. It’s easy and straightforward. But it’s not the only easy heist available.
Instead, we recommend Gold & Sharke. It’s a bank heist that proves extremely lucrative and easy to complete. The only genuine downside to Gold & Sharke is its length. It’s not as fast as, say, Road Rage, but it does pay more. But hey, as a beginner, the length doesn’t matter as much. It provides adequate time to learn the groove of the game while also earning a ton of cash to spend on weapons, attachments, and clothing options.
Tips to Complete Gold & Sharke
- As a beginner, don’t worry about stealth. It’s entirely possible to complete Gold & Sharke loud, and it’s often more fun. Go ahead and whip out that shotgun and have a blast!
- Gold & Sharke features numerous steps to complete, so keep busy. Even as a beginner, try to help the team find the clues in Human Resources, drill open the gate, and loot the vault. Play your part!
- Do your best to stick with at least one other teammate. If someone goes down during loud gameplay, the partner can easily pick them up and keep the flow going strong.
