Notoriety Beginner Guide

Getting Started in Notoriety

Notoriety: A PAYDAY Experience is a cooperative first-person heist game on Roblox where up to four players plan and execute robberies inspired by the PAYDAY franchise. After the official Starbreeze licensing relaunch in December 2024, the game features authentic PAYDAY assets, reworked difficulties, and a refined heist roster.

Your first session should focus on learning casing mode, mask mechanics, and bag extraction — not maximizing cash. Start with Jewelry Shop or R&B Bank on Normal difficulty where contracts are free.

Understanding Core Mechanics

Heists begin in casing mode where you scout without a mask. Press G to mask up when ready. Civilians can be shouted down with F to take hostages. Guards carry pagers — you can only answer four per heist in stealth. Cameras must be disabled or jammed before proceeding.

Learn default PC controls including Q/E lean, F interact, and Tab heist menu. Redeem free codes for starting cash and boosters.

Early Progression Path

Level up by completing heists and earning XP. Invest early skill points in Ghost speed skills and Mastermind Cable Guy for extra ties. Save for a suppressor and Honey Badger or P90 for stealth.

Once comfortable, try Meadowland Bank and read the stealth basics guide. Use our heist calculator to pick efficient farms.
