Being able to get stronger and better is a cornerstone of the Payday series. For Payday 3, this mechanic is there in the form of skill trees and challenges. You can get a whole range of skills at the start and build from there. But, like most things in the game, there’s a limit. How many skills you can earn is one of them. Before robbing banks and trying to get every skill in Payday 3, it’s good to know what’s the max skill point in Payday 3. This guide will take you through that question.

Payday 3: What’s the max skill point?

At the moment you can earn 21 skill points in the game. Earning skill points is done by leveling up your Infamy which you can do by finishing the heist in various ways or challenges. These challenges can be from playing a certain way, or just flat out playing on a harder difficulty. From playing Payday 2, you can tell this mechanic is overhauled. In Payday 2, you would need complete objectives to level up your Infamy. For Payday that has been switched over to challenges.  

For each level you rank your Infamy, you’ll get one skill point at the rate of earning a point at every other level. 

Since Payday 3 has microtransactions, you can’t buy skill points to level up fast. The only way to earn skill points is to level up your Infamy the old-fashioned way — by playing the game. 

Because you can only earn 21 points in total and there are more skills than points, you can unequip skill points and get them back. With a refunded skill point, you can put it somewhere else. This ability allows making builds more dynamic since you can swap new and old skills on the fly. 

You can’t max out a skill tree, so experimenting with what works and what does not is the way you want to go about this. 

Payday 3 is available for pre-order now via Steam.
