Question Best heist for farming cash/XP?

So lately I've just been farming Diamond Heist on Hard, because it awards a nice chunk of cash and only takes about 5 minutes to complete. Is this good, or are there other heists grant faster cash?

No Mercy is great for completing challenges.Moar cash!

Also Diamond Heist on Overkill difficulty - take saphires and Big gem.

Even with how long it takes, because of the code not working?

Hard difficulty of it gets me ~2000k in just 4-5 minutes.

FWB Overkill
5 mill completion bonus + challenges + objectives.
Can run roughly 3 of them in an hour.

Not worth it at all. If codes work your run shouldn't probably be longer than 4 minutes. If they don't, you only lost 1-2 minutes; restart and go again. Escaping gives a lot more cash than saphires and stuff like that.

Just do diamond on overkill. Dont bother with the big diamond or the saphires. The time you spend getting those you could have beaten it more times. Leave the bots. You'll get 500k for each one alive. And they shouldnt die if you stealth. With this youll get around 5 mil every match. From doing objectives and the end cash.

I'm not the one to know everything, but doing FWB on Overkill, and doing up to the installation of the Drill can get you about 800k in 2 minutes or so, but Diamond Hiest can get you more, probably quicker, if you're good at it.

I played Diamond Heist on Overkill to power level myself to 193. It gives the most money vs time imo. You must stealth it and the vault must open when entering the codes for this to work however. You get 50k for disabling the alarm boxes, 490k for entering the codes, idk the cash for picking up the diamonds 10-12k each, ~1200k for making it to the escape point and 3200k for the completed heist. All in less than 4 mins.

(copy-pasta from my own post in the game hub discussion on same topic)

Counterfiet, overkill. If you can defuse the C4 in time. Even if you can't, run in and just start grabbing money.

The C4 appears on every difficulty, but I've seen it a lot more often on OK.

Yeah counterfeit trap money bonus is simply insane, I believe it's more than 20 million.
A successful run of Diamond Heist on Overkill gives just a bit more than 6000 total (no saphires), if I'm not mistaken...

Really? Every time I've tried the codes on Overkill, they never work. Are you sure that they CAN work on overkill?

They work quite often in overkill.. singleplayer at least.
Takes about 3 minutes on average per run. I'd just do the boxes and get to the vault really quick and they'd work a lot.

Really? I've tried Overkill four times now and the codes have never worked. Do they just have a higher fail rate on Overkill?

Ah- there we go...sixth attempt and they work finally.

Worked the first two times I've OK'd it, and haven't had it work since. I always thought that the farther you get in stealth, the more chance you have at the codes working. I guess its just a random event.
