Ultimate Notoriety Heist Guide Roblox Payday Best Builds Controls Weapons

Best Weapons in Notoriety Roblox

Kicking off with the most important tool in a shooter game: weapons. You can equip a primary and a secondary weapon in Notoriety PAYDAY. New weapons have been added, and the availability of some existing ones has been shuffled. Below, I’ve listed the best weapon options for the game, which don’t require gamepass (as not everyone owns one).

Best Primary Weapons

If you own a Game Pass subscription, try using the Crossbow for your next stealth heist. It has unmatched concealment, damage, and accuracy, which make it great for sneaky missions. Furthermore, the M16 (the default weapon) is perfect for beginners as it has balanced stats and is reasonably powerful. Hence, I don’t recommend hasty purchases; wait until you have enough to buy a good gun.

Best Secondary Weapons

Swapping to your secondary weapons when you run out of bullets is always a preferred tactic by experienced players. After the recent changes, some good primary weapons, like the P90 and UMP45, were moved to the secondary category. You can carry two excellent weapons simultaneously, but that is unnecessary, as the standard G17 is reliable and does a good job anyway.

Best Skills in Notoriety Roblox

The skill tree in Notoriety features four classes with several unique skills under them. Every skill serves a specific purpose, and it’s up to the player to choose which one they require based on their playstyle and the heist setting. For instance, Mastermind and Ghost skill trees feature the best abilities for a stealth-focused build. That said, I’ve listed some fundamental skills that prove useful in most cases below.

Mastermind

Cable Guy allows you to tie civilians 50 percent faster, which is extremely useful and a must for stealth heists at places like banks and shops. An Apple a Day gives you +25 HP, but the key is to ace the skill (by spending an additional point) to gain 30 percent extra stamina. Medic reduces the revive time by half so you can pick your teammates faster. Extra Supplies is a must-have perk when using the Medical Kit equipment in your loadout. When aced, it allows you to use the Medical Kit up to four extra times. Intimidator increases the range to take a hostage significantly. Ace this, and you can take a civilian hostage just by shooting near them, with a silenced gun, preferably.

Enforcer

Pack Animal is a must-have perk for all scenarios. It reduces the weight of bags by half. When aced, you can grab the bag instantly without the usual delay. Fighter: Swapping to and from melee weapons is twice as fast, and you move 5 percent faster when equipped with melee. This is another very crucial skill to get in this category. Shock and Awe allow you to penetrate shields and even deal three times the damage to armor when aced. Furthermore, your resistance to flashbangs increases. Shotgun CQB is a no-brainer for players using a shotgun as it ups the reload speed by 35 percent. Oppressor: Now that SAW has been moved to the gadget category, it’ll become even more popular among players. Use this skill to make the weapon silent and improve its concealment by five points.

Technician

Silent Drill is indispensable for bank heists where you want to drill safes without alerting anyone. Drill Technician: Deploying a drill takes half as much time, and when aced, this skill enhances the drill operation speed by 10 percent. IT Department: Repairing a stuck drill takes 50 percent less time than usual. After this ability is aced, you can hit the drill with your melee to start it back up.

Ghost

Duck and Cove regenerate stamina 25 percent faster and sprint 25 percent faster after this skill is aced. Parkour is another important perk that grants you a 10 percent movement speed buff and the ability to reload while sprinting. Infiltrator: Equipping this skill allows you to open doors with a single kick. You can upgrade this to ace for two bonus concealment points and a 100 percent boost to the lock-picking speed. Chameleon: This skill spots the special enemies for you even when your mask isn’t put on. Furthermore, you can interact with objects in casing mode after this skill is aced. Carrier Pigeon: This skill makes moving loot bags much easier as you can toss the bags twice as far and carry two bags simultaneously when this ability is aced. ECM Overdrive: The ECM Device is a powerful gadget that players often use, and you can increase its life by 25 percent with this skill. ECM Specialist: Carry two ECMs with this perk and ace it for an additional 25 percent life boost (pairs well with the last skill).

Notoriety Best Builds - Stealth and Loud

A heist can go in Notoriety Roblox PAYDAY in two main ways: sneaky like a ninja or guns blazing. While some heists have a set approach, other times, it’s the player’s choice to proceed with the robbery. Regardless, I have some good build recommendations for both scenarios.

Best Stealth Build in Notoriety

I’ve given weapons options, so if you haven’t unlocked the expensive guns, you’ll still have something good to rock. For the melee, getting the Excalibur would be a crutch as it has superb concealment; however, it’s expensive—$2.5 million. It should go without saying that a silencer attachment (see the above image) is a must on your guns. Throwing Knife is a go-to for stealth missions, but it now has a strong competitor: SAW. Equip the SAW if you want, especially on bank heists with safes, but don’t forget to equip the Oppressor Technician skill to make it silent. The skill tree I’ve provided will give you the best stealth experience in Notoriety. I’ve skipped some useful skills here because you must unlock previous tiers to get those, and I don’t think spending too many points for those abilities is reasonable. For instance, Silent Drill is very lucrative in the Technician tree, but you must unlock two extra tiers to reach it. If you still want this skill, get IT Department and Focus first. Similarly, Fighter (Enforcer) is important but to reach it, I had to get the not-so-desirable Loud n Proud skill first. You are better off spending the points on the unmissable Ghost skills mentioned above. Armor has been nerfed significantly in Notoriety and equipping one reduces your movement speed, therefore, there’s no point picking anything other than the default Suit.

Best Loud Build in Notoriety

If you want to go in with noise, you must be prepared to fend off the guards and police reinforcements. This loud build will help you deal with them effortlessly, thanks to the powerful Shotgun-SMG combo. The Knife is my preferred melee, but I can’t wait to get my hands on the newly added Riot Shield. I went with the Medical Kit for the equipment as it’ll allow me to heal up when required. Furthermore, I’ve enhanced its capabilities with some skills like Extra Supplies and Doctor. Because you’ll face countless enemies, put on armor with some replenishing properties (once again, thanks to the skill tree).
