One must disarm the display cases because they are linked to an alarm if they want to go unnoticed. Cameras are surveilling every movement, so staying low is essential for getting loot. With proper strategic gameplay, one can complete the mission and leave with 20,000 max XPs for another job.

5) Cook Off
Cook Off is a one-day heist contracted by Bian in Payday 2. In this one, the gang has to cook meth and retrieve the bags of drugs without blowing up the lab. Gamers can only play Cook Off in the Loud entry; therefore, you won’t get a Stealth bonus upon completing this heist.

In the Payday 2 community, Cook Off is very popular because you can grind and earn up to $2,900,000. However, one has to secure 1,200 bags of cooked meth to collect that money. For that, you must locate the meth lab first and then defend the place, cook meth, and escape.
