This mod replaces mission briefings with a simple breakdown of what gives optional XP in that heist, as well as an estimated XP Per Minute (XPM).
It also adds a filter to the Contract Broker to sort by XPM. And it also includes [Fix Potential Experience](https://modworkshop.net/mod/33760) to give accurate potential experience numbers.
I mostly made this for myself as I found the XP breakdowns on the Wiki to be extremely useful, but hard to look at in-game, and I was also curious what the payoff of things like Cook Off vs. Santa's Workshop vs. Rats are and couldn't find this information out there.
I hope it's useful for someone else as well! Happy Infamy 3.0 Grinding Hell!
Most of the XP breakdowns came from: https://payday.fandom.com/wiki/Reputation_(Payday_2)/Experience_Per_Job
All the XPMs were decided by me trying to play the mission cleanly. For most missions with a high variance in length (like stealth), I gave the number of minutes the XPM is based on.
If you have any feedback or knowledge about strats to improve a level's XPM, please let me know!
If you like having this kind of information displayed in-game, I highly recommend XP Notifier: https://modworkshop.net/mod/28247
V1.4 (eventually):
* Changed scope of my briefings strings to a XPBriefingsText table, to avoid any conflicts (they were just floating in global space)
* Buffed Boiling Point
* Clarified The Diamond Loud (failing puzzle loses xp)
* Added variance to The Ukrainian Prisoner (the "guy in office" objective is worth more)
* Added Escape information (length of time the escape may take to arrive) thanks to finding a mod to play escapes on their own
* etc.
V1.3:
* One final check through the heist list
* Add All/Loud/Stealth filters to the XPM Sort
* Using all the knowledge I've gained, improve the accuracy of the game's often incorrect "minimum/maximum experience" numbers
V1.2:
* Add the XPM filter to the broker filter table instead of redefining the whole table (more potential compatibility with custom broker filters)
* Updated the XPM list immensely:
* Filled in missing details about newer heist's XP (like Ukrainian Prisoner secret area bags being 500 XP each)
* Added a lot more lengths of time that the XPMs are based on, it's good to know how long a mission is expected to take
* Buffed plenty of missions upon getting cleaner runs (especially Lab Rats; that 2 minute safe's XP yield is insane if you can cook a bag or two without plummeting to your death)
* Added a lot of info about max bags possible, and details about where they're located for some missions where it's fixed but not obvious like Dragon Heist
* Added info about Rats / Cook Off's RNG
* Added some more strategies I came up with (especially The Bomb: Forest)
* Making this mod has really kept the infamy grind from being boring, I'm going to be sad when I'm finished with it!
V1.1:
* Fix a crash on XPM Sort when you have custom heists with no crimenet briefing text
* Fix Prison Nightmare's briefing not being changed
* Updated the XPM list
