Do you get the card reward if you leave the selection screen before picking a card

Closely related: Are the cards at the end of payday pre-determined?

As the evidence seems to point that the card reward on payday is determined when you enter the selection screen rather than at the moment or reveal, would I still get the reward if I entered the selection screen but left the lobby before picking a card?

Best Answer

Yes you get the reward if you leave the selection screen before picking the card as stated in this steam community post: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/0/864978835547337363/#p1

You actually are [simply given a random reward]. This has been tested and proven several times over. When you get to the card-picking screen, your reward is already chosen and awarded to you before you even turn a card.

When you get to the card screen, you can leave the game without picking a card, and you will still have the pre-determined reward in your inventory.
