Hi, I just recently started speedrunning PAYDAY 2 and I have a couple questions. The first is once you complete a heist are you required to show the timer in the post game screen? The second is what is the best possible build for speedrunning short missions such as Jewelry Store? I see people getting to unreal speeds using explosives and I'm a bit lost as how they do it.

As to the post game screen: Rule 5 states "Show the crew stats at the end in your video" (should be specified to show it after each day if it's a multi-day heist) so the time can be verified. The time displayed on the Crew Stats Screen (CSS) counts towards the validation of the run, as the "during-the-heist-displayed-timer" can differ slightly from CSS. As to the "best possible build" there is no such thing as it varies from heist to heist and should be tailored to a specific heist, but there are some essential skills required (especially for short heists) to get the most speed out of your run. So basically look at every speedboosting skill and decide if there's a way for you to utilize it in your run - if so then add it to your build. As of Update 180 there are quite a few skills that contribute to speed increase. Those are: Inspire (basic), Partner in Crime (basic), Duck and Cover (basic), Parkour (basic), Second Wind (basic or aced), Running From Death (aced) combined with Messiah, Feign Death or Inspire (aced). Some of those skills are only useful in co-op runs. Add a Yakuza perk deck combined with Frenzy (basic) on top of that and you'll be a speed demon.
