PRESS START< Hey everyone since the update in GTA this newest heist has been the most profitable and easiest way to make money. So I wanted to create a guide to help others master this heist, and to help those who are struggling with it. Note: This guide is for new players, first timers, and anyone who is struggling to complete this heist. Please use this as reference to deepen your understanding of the heist. If you have a better strat, more power to you. This however is my strat, criticism is welcome. So to begin, you will have to buy the Kosatka (submarine), which is located on warstock for 2.2mil. It also has upgrades you can buy but the most noteworthy upgrade is definitely the Sparrow upgrade (1.8mil) this upgrade will make traveling back and forth much easier since your sub is located in the sea. Noteworthy things about sub:
If you hover above your sub with a sparrow you can instantly enter it.
You can get free snacks at the cafeteria
You can fast travel; if you never completed the heist its 10k, after completion its 2k
Your toreador vehicle can enter through the bottom
You can call dingy if you can not afford the sparrow
After you get the sub you’ll be introduced to characters and will have to go to LSIA, where you will travel to Cayo Perico, after you arrive everything henceforth is pretty straightforward. After you escape the party you will have to enter the main island through the checkpoint ( Google Boom Gate), PLEASE DO NOT SWIM AROUND THE ISLAND. You will waste so much time doing so, just run through the gated door next to the checkpoint and avoid entering enemy cones, watch for vehicles and watchtower cones. The biggest things to scope out are the infiltration points and exfil points; the airport strip is already marked, the biggest point to scope out after you hack the cameras is the drainage tunnel. This will require swimming, the drainage tunnel is located on the coast of El Rubio’s compound you can dive and find it, Pavel will give you a vocal cue when you find it. When you are looking through cameras after hacking make sure to cycle through every camera, turning to find secondary points, stop until you get back to the Panther Cage. Don’t bother scoping anything else like bolt cutter’s or grappling hooks, because you will not need them. I added a map of Cayo Perico to show where everything is, please note that there are many ways to do this heist this is just my way of doing so. After you found the drainage tunnel and finished your objective, get caught and make your way to the airport strip to leave. Also note there are different Primary targets the first time will always be the files the second will vary, look in the tips for scoping out to see the rankings. Credit to Sportskeeda Tips for Scoping out
On your second time doing the heist you will start at the air strip. There are 2 dirt bikes located at the strip one by the entrance to the strip and one by the solar panels next to the power station. You can take the bikes and drive up and over the checkpoint to get to the communications tower faster. At the checkpoint to the left there's a little stone wall in front of the guards tower. You can drive the bike up the ledge and get over it, for a quicker way you can also drive the bike up the ledge a little bit in front of the wall to also get over.
If you solo, scope out any important secondary point. There's a secondary point in the airstrip hangar, at the entrance of the hangar look right to see the box you can climb, use this to get to the second floor to get the secondary point. (To clarify check the targets spawns and only mark coke and weed; do not mark weed at the strip and north dock only coke, mark weed at the main dock)
When you are heading to the communications tower to hack, pay attention to the guard, if there is a guard, the box is located up the tower, if there is no guard it's on ground level.
You can kill yourself or get caught to go back to the airstrip.
You can also poison the guards water supply to weaken them but unless you're going aggressive don’t bother.
There are boats out in water you can steal but I would only do this to scope out the drainage tunnel the first time.
You only need to scope infiltration points and exfils points once, secondary targets and tools must be scoped out every time.
Secondary targets and tools are RNG based so if you're looking for tool and it’s not there it’s because of RNG
Preps In order to start the heist you must do preps, for this heist you can do however many you want but for this guide you will only need to do 5. Keep your sub in Los Santos until the fifth prep mission, if you decide to do the longfin prep you can keep your sub at Los Santos. Prep 1/ The Cutting Torch: This prep mission is pretty straightforward, head to the construction site and land close enough. Before heading in, try to locate the yellow hard hat and put it on, this will make the enemy non-hostile, which makes for an easy mission. Your job is to locate the torch in a tool box. You can find it by looking in the box, it's a blue torch, search the box and head back to your sub. Also when searching for the box try to avoid staying in the enemy cones for too long and bumping into workers because this will make the enemies hostile if you do these. Prep 2/ Safe Code or Plasma Cutter There are two missions. The mission will vary on your primary, if you have the bearer bonds it’s the safe code, anything else it’s the Plasma Torch. Safe Code Mission: Head to the casino at the entrance, after entering turn left and enter the elevator (if you have a penthouse you can go up without entering the parking garage). You will have to find a car in the parking garage. It's a yellow cheap car, it never changes. After finding it you will get the card which will allow you to head up into the penthouses, after getting up there search for two guards and head shot with a suppressed weapon. If done right you will calmly walk into the apartment, you can then search the penthouse for the target, he will never change. It's a guy with a cowboy hat, kill him and leave the penthouse, you will have to fight your way out. If you slam into the entrance of the penthouse you will have to fight your way in. After getting the code get back to your sub. Plasma Cutter Mission: This is pretty straightforward, for ease take your oppressor instead of your Sparrow for higher mobility. You will have to head to the office to get the plasma cutter, but it’s not there. Pavel will instruct you to find the board and take a picture of it, the board is easy to find. Afterwards he will locate them and ping it on your map, they usually always spawn near Vinewood hills or the beach. Take them out with your oppressor missiles and fly over the bag and leave cause they will spawn two cars to shoot you. Prep 3/ Fingerprint Cloner: This mission is simple, you will have to head to a location on your map, outside are two cameras, ignore them and walk into the garage, after entering take cover behind the box forward and blind shot everyone with your shotgun. After the enemies are dead hack the laptop in the back and head to the archives. Outside the archives are cameras, shoot them and go inside. Pavel will tell you that you're looking for a small card, it always spawns in the back in the desk square, grab it and head back. Prep 4/ Weapon Load out: Always buy the suppressors, as for which load out I suggest the Conspirator due to the sticky bombs (there is a bug where you will get suppressors without buying them, just in case purchase it to be safe). There are two possible missions you can be given. One is in Los Santos in an office, for the other you will have to follow a Valkyrie up North. Weapons Possible Mission 1: Pavel will send you to an office in Los Santos you can either go through the ground entrance or the roof, I suggest the roof entrance but no matter what you will have to fight inside. Once inside clear the office and head to the back to find the gun safe, it’s always located left of the desk on the wall, hack the laptop on the desk and open the safe. Grab the weapons and leave. If you enter on the roof you can fly back but two chopper’s will spawn, shoot their gunman on the sides and hellies will be useless. Another suggestion is to leave immediately, and snack up to restore health. On ground level the hellies will still spawn again shoot the gunman and head back to the sub. Weapons Possible Mission 2: You will have to head to Elysian Island to find the Valkyrie you do not need to stay close to it. You can predict it’s direction and head North to clear the camp on foot, also avoid destroying the Avenger and the Valkyrie. Do not destroy the Valkyrie until it becomes a target on your mini map or you will fail the prep. After clearing the camp head into the Avenger and kill the enemies, afterwards parachute out and leave before more Merrywheather show up. Prep 5/ Kosatka: ( You can also do the Longfin, but I prefer Kosatka as an approach vehicle.) This is a simple mission, after starting it head into your sub driver seat and fast travel to the nearest location near the ping. After you arrive dive your sub over to the location, once you get near get on your periscope and missile the boats and the helli. You can sink your sub and engage auto-pilot under water giving you better access to the enemies sub. Try to avoid beaching your sub on shallow water and put it in the middle of the yellow circle. Leave the driver seat and exit your sub, dive into the water and look for the other sub with a yellow marker on top. After entering the enemies sub you must locate the jammer. You have two paths, one on the right, this is usually where it spawns, take the ladder down and watch your corners cause enemies are brutal in this mission. After entering the engine room look for a black box with a blue screen at the bottom of the stairs if it's not there head back the way you came. Take the left path and make your way to the control room WATCH THOSE CORNERS. If it's not there head to the back of the control room and take the stairs down, follow the path it will lead you into the torpedo room, that another spawn. Leave and head back to your sub. Prep 5/ Longfin This mission is located in Los Santos basically you can take a phantom (Semi-truck) to the police station to pick up a boat of which you can use as an approach for the heist. This mission is simple: you basically go and pick up a phantom, afterwards you drive to impound to pick up the longfin. You will be met with enemies. The one I did was the cop impound, you can enter with your phantom and drive out. It's best to clear the area, and let the cops kill you for an easier delivery (you can't call Lester). You can use your own Phantom wedge to clear vehicles out of the way. (during the heist you can use this get loot before you enter the drainage tunnel , this can be quicker way if your loot is out the way) This includes the scope out and the preps This includes the scope out and the preps Tips For Preps
The biggest tip is the Sparrow, this will make prepping a joke, the only time you won’t need it is during the plasma cutter and Kosatka missions, but that's due to mobility.
You can see the cutting torch it’s blue
You can blow up the Valkyrie and end the mission to get the office mission to save time, I highly suggest this ( I do this mostly because you have to follow the helli up North and wait for it to land.)
The preps are the same, they never change
Save the Kosatka heist for last so you can do all 4 preps in Los Santos
The Heist Time to Start the Heist. Go to screen and tab to Finale and shift over to continue to start the mission. Once you get to the selection process pick your options. It should be Kosatka or Longfin, Drainage, Drainage, Main docks or Kotsatka, and Day Time (there's very little difference between day or night). If you're playing with others you must hurry through the selection screen because if you take too long the cuts will reset due to a bug. Squad Run When you begin the mission you will have to make your way to the drainage tunnel, if you chose the Kosatka you will have to swim to the tunnel, but if you chose the Longfin you will have to drive the boat to the tunnel. Once you arrive you will have to cut the bars at the gate, a suggestion to do this is to go in a circle three times and cut whatever remains. Afterwards swim through the tunnel and enter the compound. Compound Once you enter the compound you will have two directions to go, the left or the right. My way is to go to the left, up the stairs is a guard next to the storage staring out at the water, head shot him and make your way to the courtyard. If you followed my instructions the two guards at the pool will be to your left. In the courtyard there should be a guard coming, wait for him to stop and head shot him. After that, ready your shot at the two guards at the pool, choose your target. Since you're in a squad, ready your shot, as a suggestion one person can count down from three to one to shoot at the same time to eliminate any mistakes ( these two guards usually drop the gate keys). The next is to eliminate the juggernaut, the way to identify him is by his red cone and red skull icon. He can be killed by a single headshot, if you and your squad were quick with the guards at the pool he should be arriving, take him out. In front of the pool there are two separate guards, one will be in front of the office building to identify him, the camera is facing the pool, if you time it correctly he will be to the right of the camera making for an easy elimination. The other guard is North East of the front of the pool, or to the right of the guard you just killed. You can eliminate him if you want too, the reason I do so is because me and my mates can all access the storages without worry. Next are three guards at the office, to identify them they will have red cones. One of the guards will be moving North towards the main gate and then will move South towards the pool. You have two options, one is to wait for him to head North and take him out, or you can head shot him when he’s coming South. To achieve this there are stairs directly in front of the pool, if you take the stairs up to the right you now have enough elevation to see the guards head ( this is tricky to explain which is why I will also have a video example for visual clarification.) After taking the guard out you can head up the stairs into the office area, once up the stairs head to the right, for clarification the pool will be to the left and main gate to your right. Head down the corridor if you have done this correctly the guards back will be facing you, take him out. To your left are stairs that leads to the office, take them up, at this point the guard at the top will start to move. You have two options, one you can wait behind a corner and hit the guard or if you are quick enough the guard will stop for a brief moment, giving a chance for an easy headshot. At this point you can enter the office, where you can grab the second keycard, the first keycard is dropped by any guard you have killed ( it usually drops on the first kill, but this is RNG based). In the office there are three things you can do, one is you can hack the elevator which leads to the basement, ignore this hack. The other things are either a painting that can randomly spawn in the office, and a safe on the right wall in the back of the office. Open the safe to get anywhere between 50k to 100k, THIS DOES NOT TAKE SPACE. When you have everything, start to loot up and fill your bag by going to the storages located around the compound, to open the storages you will need the two keycards and two people. You and your squad mates will have to swipe your card at the same time to open the door, another suggestion is to use the three to one countdown to sync swipes. The South Storage will have a guard moving, the guard is located to the left of the two guards you killed at the pool, take him out and watch for the camera. After you are done, please make sure to save space for the basement storage, make your way to the basement gates, they are located beneath the office building to the left and right, it does not matter which gate you choose. Once you are in the basement you will be presented with a hack, it may look daunting but in fact it is rather simple, I suggest matching the top first and making your way down. Afterwards loot up and grab the Primary Target, it is really straightforward to do so. At this time Pavel will tell the players that more guards have arrived, if you have followed thus far, you do not have to worry. Exit the basement, and head North to the main gate there should two guards, one will be moving the other stationary. You can take the stationary guard, you can also take the guard moving but if you and your squad can make it to the gate without doing so, go ahead. The host will be prompted to select the escape route, select it and a cutscene will begin. After you will be located outside the compound. Kill in this order Outside The Compound You and your squad will be outside, if you are satisfied with your loot head left to the coast, you can jump off the cliff into the water. Once in the water you can swim off the island ,just keep heading straight and eventually you will have escaped. You can also try to steal a boat; note that some have claimed that boats may not spawn but if you manage to grab a boat this can make getting to and from much quicker. If you are missing loot head forward and take the guard next to the bike out, one person will have to head left toward a guard near a helli take him out and plant four stickies on the chopper. At the same time the other members will turn right towards the checkpoint, there should be three guards two together and one separate, and a camera behind the two guards. Take the one separate out, then the two guards, and the camera. Around the checkpoint are three bikes plus the bike with the very first guard killed. One of the bikes is hidden to the left of the checkpoint booth the other is directly in front. Start making your way towards the main docks, turn right into the jungle the moment you leave the stopping checkpoint. Pay attention to the guard tower to your right and avoid his cone, at this time Pavel will tell the squad that El Rubio’s helli is on the move, activate the stickies and he will retreat away from the island. Once you are close enough to the docks go on foot, your objective is to loot and take the boat off the island. There are two secondary loot locations, one is a warehouse with a guard and camera outside, take them out and loot. The other is located to the right with two separate guards, please refer to Sportskeeda map to see the location. Take them out and loot. Afterwards there are 3-4 guards you have to take out at the docks, to leave without alerting the guard. Two guards standing next to the boat, and one or two stationary guards looking out at the water. After clearing the guards, grab the boat and escape Cayo Perico. Congrats you have now completed the heist. Note: You can approach the compound in any way you choose, my way is a bit complicated but with practice you can clear the compound at the same time as other routes. Feel free to adjust the route in anyway, my route is just a reference to get an idea as to how to approach the compound. Note: I do it the same exact way when I solo, but since I’m solo I can skip guards and head to my objective. For the Solo run I go for cocaine, you NOT have to do this. I do this to maximize my profit, and since I am competent in my abilities I can clear the mission without many mistakes. Solo Run The strat is the same except it will be harder to take out the two guards by the pool, the major difference is you can not open the storage's to get gold or loot, you might be lucky to get painting in the office but that's RNG. A good tip when taking on double guards is to find a good angle, after killing one the other will flinch, he will prop his head up giving you the shot. You can scope the rest of island to find the most profitable loot which is cocaine, if there is none then get weed and cash (by scoping out I’m referring to checking the spawns for coke, if there is none at North docks and the Air Strip I ignore them, I do not mark every item only Coke and any profitable items at Main Docks). After leaving the compound there will be a guard in front of you next to a bike, kill him. Turn left and head to the next guy next to a helli, kill him and plant four stickies on the heli, do not activate them yet. Go back the way you came, there will be three guards at a checkpoint two together, one standing away. Kill the one standing away and then prepare to kill the two guards, after their dead shoot the camera and jump over the stop rail. You will have to be quick because a car will drive towards the checkpoint so make sure to do all that quickly. You have two options: you can swim off the island and finish the heist, or you can head to Main Docks to fill your bag. If you chose the latter run North East into the jungle towards the guards tower, but far enough away so he can’t see you. On your way to Main Dock Pave El Rubio helli will show up on the map, wait for Pavels vocal cue when he tells you that Rubio is in his helli, and then activate your stickies, boom Rubio will retreat. Now you can make it to your objective in peace. You can loot at the Marijuana fields but you may have to take out three guard towers and a single camera, as well as two guards near the fields. I’ll leave this to your gut if you think you can make it to the warehouse without messing up please do so. If you want to head to North Dock and the Airstrip you either can swim there which will eat a lot of time or you can take the boat at the docks to get there faster. Trade off is that if you swim it will take up time, but if you take the boat you will have to clear out guards to safely remove the boat from the dock. If you are satisfied with anything you get then just clear the area with loot and swim or steal the boat. This is for the Airstrip if you do not plan on going here IGNORE this. The Airstrip is an easy place to navigate since a lot of the guards are far from each other so you can clear the airstrip easily. There are two loot spawns one at the hangar with one guard, and a warehouse with two separate guards. There's guard outside the hangar kill him, and go inside, if your loot is on the second floor, look for a forklift and pick up a box lift and it up then press the box against the back of the hangar below a blue tarp you can then climb the lift and the box to get access to the loot. The other airstrip loot spawn is an easy place to clear, one guard will be moving you can head shot him from the hangar, at the warehouse there’s a camera shoot it and inside the warehouse is a guard questioning his career choice, kill him. If you need to head to North Dock head there by bike or by foot, you can loot without killing any guard. After you're done just swim off the Island, or take the boat. Congrats, you have just completed the heist solo. Note: I will be adding a second strat to clear the compound, the reason for this is because a Redditor provided the strat. I do not mind adding his strat, but I must remind everyone that you can tackle the heist in any way you feel comfortable with. I missed that gate keys, so I killed more than I should have. Solo Run Second Strat: Essentially, it is the same as the other one, except for going left you go right. Your first target are the two guards at the pool. They should be to the right of you, find a good angle and head shot the first one, wait for the second guard to finish flinching and kill him. The juggernaut should be making his way towards you, wait for him to exit the camera’s view and kill him. If the gate key drops pick it up and kill the guard in front of the pool he should be past the camera. Take out the camera and wait for the moving red cone guard to turn his direction North, once he turns around go up the stairs and kill him. Move towards the second red cone guard his back should be facing you, hit him and ascend the stairs. The last guard on top should be moving. You can either wait behind the corner and hit him or speed around the corner to head shot him, it’s up to you. Loot the office safe and make your way to the basement. Finally, use the gate keys to open the basement, hack and grab the primary target. Afterwards head up towards the main gate, a new guard will spawn, you can wait for the moving guard to move out of range, and kill the stationary guard. From there you can run to the gate and exit the compound. I had brain fart at the hacking lmao Heist Tips
You can swim off the island from any direction
You can steal boats for faster escape but that's up you
You can sticky El Rubio’s helli for to get him to retreat
In the compound you can jump ledges after clearing the enemies
For double guards, get a good angle after you head shot one guy the other will flinch, you can get the shot slightly after, or you can risk shooting him until he’s dead.
Guards do not react to dead bodies, in day time their visibility is the same as night, an Isolated guard can’t alert if everyone is dead. You can run, guards will only react if you're close, if you miss a shot and it gets near a guard or makes noise this will alert.
You can jump into the ocean to die quickly if you alert inside the compound
If you find a key you can open the desk to get a golden gun
If your underwater and a patrol boats cone is on you, they can’t see you
Cones can be obstructed by objects
? Civilians may be able to alert guard?
Solo is more profitable than playing with friends due to not sharing a cut
If you don’t have to kill don’t, less interaction is good
Being stealthy is the best way, if you alert restart
You can aim in and hold the sprint button to walk faster
To activate hard mode, you have to start the heist when it becomes available
Try to avoid killing guards near the camera cones, the reason being is because this can alert the guards if the camera sees the dead body. Ironically, guards do not alert they seem one.
Game Over> That's it ladies and gentleman, I hope this guide has helped anyone. I’m aware I’ve definitely went too in depth in this guide but I enjoy making it, Happy Grinding -Leaus
I've done the Heist three times now with duos, I'm pretty sure I could even do it solo now. Make sure you have the Drainage Tunnel option unlocked by swimming behind the compound during the scope out. UPDATE: Make sure you complete the Torch Prep as well! The Torch Prep will not be available in the submarine until you scope out the Drainage Tunnel infiltration point. If solo, trios, or quads, Make sure you have bolt cutters by the main bay. I enter through the drainage tunnel putting me right in the compound. UPDATE: I've used the submarine and the halo jump, but I imagine any vehicle will work. If you use the sub it will give you scuba gear, so avoid the pools while you're in the compound, otherwise it will put the scuba gear back on and remove your active weapon. Once you get out of the pool you'll lose 3-5 seconds taking the gear back off. I suggest you take out all the guys stealthfully while taking out as few cameras as possible, 1 or 2 will be necessary unless you are really patient. If you're doing it solo you don't need to worry about the key cards or gate keys. If you are doing duos+, then one key card is held by a guard, the other is up in Rubio's office. Once you get to Rubio's office there will be a fingerprint hack (its easy once you understand how it works) and get the files using the combination given to you in the basement, don't exit through the gate, go back into the compound, grab the secondaries in the compound (duos+), and exit through the main entrance, that causes a save-state, so if you die you don't have to start all over. If you are duos your loot bag should be full. If you are in duos, I recommend grabbing the painting first and is much gold as you can carry, don't bother with the cash. If you haven't alerted anybody by then, make your way down to the main dock, if solo, or trios, then get the secondary loot there, grab a boat and drive away from the island. Your escape is undefined, so even if you don't make it to your designated escape route, you can leave the island in any direction. If you are in quads, there's a good chance your loot bags won't be full, at that point you can decide whether you want to go and grab more secondaries, or leave the island while still in one piece. If you have been caught, kill everybody and book it out the main entrance towards the main dock where you can grab a boat and GTFO. Because I was in duos I had right around 2mil each time, the one time I set the guards off on the way out I only lost 60-80k. From what I can see you cant hold more than 800k in your loot bag, I may be wrong though. Potential cut: 6mil SOLO: 1.1-1.9 Mil DUOS: 1.1-2.7Mil TRIOS: 1.1-3.5Mil QUADS: 1.1-4.3Mil That Is my experience. If anybody has any good useful information there, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated to the community. Such as: *Better ways out of the compound *Secondary Target values *Any way to get the full potential 6mil? (During my scope out I had 4.2mil in Secondary targets. That left a total of 5.3mil, I was probably missing two secondary targets somewhere on the island) *Anything I may have missed UPDATE: For those of you wondering how the payouts compare to the Diamond Casino Heist. The payouts for the DC heist hard modes are as followed, not including aggressive. Cash: don't bother, reset your heist Artwork: 2.7mil - 2mil split - 100k per 5% Gold: 2.8-3.1mil -2.1-2.4 mil split - 105k-120k per 5% Artwork can be done with DUOS (1mil each depending on cut) but gold has to be done with TRIOS (1.2mil 50%, 600k 25%) unless you want to leave 250k on the table. Which Gold DUOS would pay the sililar to Artwork DUOS. Your best opportunities to make money on GTA online are going to be Cayo Perico SOLO or DUOS and Diamond Casino DUOS. On another note: I haven't timed it yet, but it seems to take less time to do all of the Cayo Perico preps than the Diamond Casino Preps (Aside from identifying secondary contents). The Diamond Casino Heist takes 15-25 minutes when done correctly with Big Con or Silently & Sneaky while the Cayo Perico heist can be completed in 7-15 minutes SOLO and DUOS.
Does anyone else think Rockstar is bugging the game intentionally??
I might sound like some sort of conspiracy theorist but this shit is getting under my skin. I mean till the summer special update till this last update some of us couldn't deliver our supplies, cargo, etc. The quick play for the diamond casino heist barely worked, and I just experienced another "bug" I was doing the cutter mission for the drainage tunnel and I couldn't enter my my submarine, so I just blew myself up thinking it was just being weird. Pick it back up, can't go in. Weird, blow myself up again before I pick it back up I see the option to go in, pick it up, it disappears....and can't go in. Rinse and repeat again but thin time I go inside the sub before picking the cutter up. It's all good, go out to get it, pick it up, and immediately the "enter kosatka" option is gone. I'm 99.99% POSITIVE that this shit is all intentionally by Rockstar. How TF are you gonna update and RESET PLAYERS for money glitching, but the moment your game is bugging out and actually stopping people from making money you turn the other cheeck?! Because it's all on purpose

PSA: You can cancel your Heist after scoping out vault for Diamonds!
So with the news of Diamonds this week in the Casino a lot of people (myself including) are probably going to hunt for them and grind out heists all week. I assumed this was common knowledge but after the few I played with didn't know I figured I would post about it so others who might not know don't get stuck doing cash runs instead of diamonds! After you finish scoping out the vault if it's not whatever you're interested in, once you leave the casino and finish the mission just call up Lester and choose to cancel the heist. You'l have to pay another 25k to start the heist again but it can/will have different contents in the vault! On average, it was taking me anywhere from 1 - 3 resets to get diamonds in each of my runs. Happy Heisting!
A few weeks ago I suddenly had my casino heist reset to nothing. I'd been having extreme difficulty delivering the boring machine - multiple restarts when the game wouldn't recognize the delivery - and when the reset happened I assumed the whole thing was glitchy. I was annoyed, but whatever, because R*. The other day it happened again - there were no problems during prep, but it all "suddenly" disappeared. What I realized is that in both cases I had joined someone else's heist that was identical to mine (first time Aggressive w/ Art, second time TBC/G6 w/ Diamonds) *and* when the heist was done we got separated and I ended up back in my own arcade registered as my own CEO instead of in the hosts arcade. I sent a ticket to R*, leaving out basically all the details. The person who answered the ticket immediately said "If you join another heist your progress will be reset." This is *basically* crap because I do this all the time, but it does seem like it *can* happen if just the right criteria is met. To me, this is inconsistent behavior and reeks of bad code. To further my point, in *both* cases where my prep was reset, when I hit right d-pad to start a new heist, after paying the setup fee, the "Scope Vault Contents" was already done and I had a random target... the first time cash (instead of art) and the second time art (instead of diamonds). Anyone have any thoughts on this? Similar or different experiences? Cures that don't require me to always complete my heist before helping someone else?
So my arcade got reset (very annoying) but it got fixed, yet the game thinks I have never done the casino heist (which I have done on each approach many times) and I try to cancel to heist so I can get diamonds but it says this unlocks when you complete the main approaches of the heist. Help
I haven't seen a good comprehensive guide for this, despite it being the best money making method in the game, so I thought I'd write a guide about it.
What is the Casino Heist and why should I do it?
The Casino Heist is semi-challenging PvE content for 2-4 players. As of August 2020 it's the best paying grind in the game, paying out $1.5-$2 million split between heist members every hour and a half. If you're doing setups with one friend, you're both effectively earning ~$80k per setup mission. If you have no friends who play GTA:O, try to find a buddy in game or on HeistTeams It's possible to get even higher payouts, but discussing glitches is against the rules of this subreddit; go to gtaglitches for that stuff.
Getting Started
To do the Casino Heist you need an Arcade, preferably Eight-Bit (Vinewood) or Videogeddon (La Mesa) as they're the closest to the Casino and setup missions. Not required, but strongly recommended as they'll make setup missions much easier:
A good gun, such as Special Carbine
A bulletproof car for gunfights, such as Armored Kuruma
An aircraft with homing missiles, such as Buzzard Attack Chopper or Oppressor Mk2
Scoping and Vault Contents
All Points of Interest All Access Points Cash has the worst payout (up to $2.1 mil). You will always get cash the first time you host the Casino Heist. Art has middling payout (up to $2.3 mil) but is very fast to steal, which means you can get detected, or hit the vault with fewer players, and still get the maximum take. Gold is like cash but gives much better payout (up to $2.6 mil), with the disadvantage of making you run slightly slower when you leave the vault. Diamonds only appear during special events, but have the highest payout for vault contents (up to $3.6 mil).
Choosing Approaches
The Big Con is the best approach, since the security tunnel entrance + Gruppe Sechs disguise takes you straight to the vault. Always choose it when possible. Silent & Sneaky is like The Big Con, but is more difficult and takes longer. Aggressive is relatively fast, but gives less time in the vault, making it much harder to get the maximum take for any target except Art. In general, you should choose Aggressive for Art, The Big Con for other targets, and Silent & Sneaky only as a last resort. You should also choose Hard mode whenever possible as it gives you a 25% higher take.
Support Crew
Your Hacker is the most important support crew member, as they determine how long you have in the vault, and therefore your maximum take. My go-to is Paige Harris, who you unlock by owning a Terrorbyte. Avi Schwartzman is equally good and can be unlocked by destroying all Signal Jammers. If you don't have either of them, Christian Feltz is a decent stopgap measure; just be aware you'll have a good chance of missing out on profits. The Driver determines your getaway vehicles, and is largely irrelevant since most people ignore the getaway vehicles and jack a car or a helicopter for their escape. I always go with Karim Denz and source the Sentinel Classic. It's only worth getting a more expensive driver if you want to unlock a car's trade price. The Gunman determines the weapons you'll be using in the run. Again, mostly irrelevant, since Karl Abolaji's weapon loadouts are good enough even for a Hard Aggressive approach. Only get a more expensive gunman if you're going Aggressive and aren't confident in your headshotting skills or those of your crew.
Optional Preps
I don't recommend paying to skip any of the preps, because it eats significantly into your profits, and unlike MC/bunker missions, you can't easily make back the cost by doing other missions in that time.
Security Passes
Mandatory for every approach. Remember to get level 2 security passes, not level 1. The mission is very easy and saves you from having to do lots of annoying hacking minigames during the final heist.
Duggan Shipments
This is mandatory for Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky, as destroying at least 3 shipments will remove the bulletproof helmets from guards and allow them to be headshotted. Most people also do this for Big Con just to be safe. Having at least one other player in your organization, as well as a Buzzard or Oppressor Mk2, makes this mission very easy.
Security Intel
Unlocked after completing all Casino Penthouse missions, this is a once-off mission that reveals security cameras on the radar on all future casino heists. Do it when you unlock it.
Patrol Routes
Reveals guards on your radar. Not required, but useful on every approach, especially Silent & Sneaky. Do this if you have time.
EMP (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission is relatively easy and the EMP saves a lot of headaches in a Silent & Sneaky run. Not required, but worth taking the time to do.
Boring Machine (Aggressive only)
This unlocks the best entry route for the Aggressive approach where you tunnel straight to the vault. Not required (Staff Lobby is almost as fast) but it makes the approach to the vault very easy.
Power Drills
Don't bother with this mission, other than to play through it once or twice for fun. The money from the deposit boxes isn't worth your time.
Exit Disguise (Big Con only)
These missions are annoying and the disguises aren't that helpful. Collecting all playing cards gives you a permanent exit disguise you can use; I recommend doing that instead and never having to worry about this prep.
Infiltration Suits (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission gives you night vision. Basically, it's only useful if you plan on using the EMP but don't know the casino floor layout. Do it the first time you do a Silent & Sneaky run; by the second time, you should be experienced enough that you don't need it.
Reinforced Armor (Aggressive only)
This unlocks new outfits that reduce the damage you take during the heist finale. Personally, I hate this prep, because a) the mission is annoying, b) the finale is easy enough without it, and c) the armored outfits are ugly. Do it if you aren't confident in your shooting skills, or if you plan to do the heist with only two players.
Finale Screen
Buyer: Always choose the High Level buyer for the best payout. The only difference is that you have to drive or fly a few more miles after you lose the cops -- more than worth the extra percentage of the cut. Decoy: This makes the helicopter getaway slightly easier on the Aggressive approach, or if you screw up either of the other two approaches. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, but it could be worth it if you find yourself constantly having trouble getting to the helicopter. Clean Vehicle: Completely useless. Don't bother.
The Big Con
Entrance: Security Tunnel Exit: Staff Lobby
Go straight to the vault. Take your sweet time plundering it.
Take the stairs on the way up. You want to take the long corridor looping around the back, pass by the laundry room and pick up your exit disguises if they're there, then make a run for the staff lobby exit.
You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
Melee kill the patrolling guards from behind and run through the cameras without staying in their cone of vision for too long.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, melee killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Silent & Sneaky
Entrance: Staff Lobby Exit: Staff Lobby
Take your time and have one person go ahead at a time. You want to make sure that you're headshotting guards with your silenced machine pistol, and using the stun gun on all cameras you pass by. If there are two guards next to each other, shoot them both in quick succession.
You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
You can use the Nano Drone in your inventory to shoot a tranquilizer dart. This is most useful on the guard patrolling the stairwell. Have your teammate wedge the door open, then fly the drone through the gap and down the stairs to knock the guard out.
If you got the EMP, you can use the SecuroServ app on your phone to activate it. This gives you 1 minute to book it and run past all guards, security doors, and cameras on a floor.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Aggressive
Entrance: Sewer or Staff Lobby Exit: Staff Lobby
This is a straightforward gunfight. Just move from cover to cover and shoot everything that moves.
As always, use headshots to get instant kills. Even if you did all Duggan shipments and got an expensive gunman, the guards can take a ridiculous number of bullets to center of mass, so it's faster to aim for the head and take them out instantly.
The guards respawn continually, so it isn't possible to completely clear a floor out. Just keep moving.
The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
When exiting through the staff lobby, don't go straight through the security office or you'll be shot to pieces. Take the long way around instead.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, jump the fence to the racetrack and run straight across. If there are any cars in the parking lot to your left, jack them and drive out. Otherwise, keep going and jump the fence to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
The Getaway
No matter which approach you take, you'll eventually end up outside the casino, on the main road, with a 5 star wanted level. There are two main strategies people use here.
Sewer Tunnel: Directly south of the racetrack, in the storm drain, is the entrance of the sewer tunnel that Michael and Franklin escape through in story mode. If you drive in here and keep going, you'll eventually start losing your wanted level. Get out of the car and wait in the sewer until you're all clean. From there, it's an easy drive to the buyer -- just don't drive near the casino or you'll be wanted by the cops again. This is a safe but slow getaway.
Police Station Helicopter: Over the overpass to the west, directly across the highway from the casino, is the Vinewood Hills police station. It's possible to drive to the back of the building and climb from the grass patch up to the roof. There, you can climb the roof fixtures to get to the helipad, where a police helicopter usually spawns. Once everyone is in the helicopter, you can use it to evade the cops. This is a quick but more risky getaway, since the helicopter occasionally doesn't spawn, and you can get shot during the drive or fall off the roof if you're unlucky.
Bugs
Permanent Wanted Level
Bug: You're in a getaway vehicle far from any cops, but your wanted level won't go away. This happens because one of your heist teammates has high ping and the game is having trouble syncing your wanted levels. Fix: Have everyone get out of the vehicle and wait until the bug goes away. If you're in a helicopter with no safe place to land, the offending teammate(s) may have to parachute out.
Guards Spawning Late
Bug: On Silent & Sneaky, guards take a few moments to spawn in after you disable the metal detector. Fix: Don't go through the metal detector or shoot anyone until the guards finish spawning in.
Frozen Guard Patrols / Bugged Camera Movement
Bug: The guards in the casino aren't moving, and the cameras have weird movement patterns or are facing towards walls. Fix: Just keep going; this bug actually makes Silent & Sneaky / Big Con easier most of the time. If there's a frozen guard you can't get past, use the Nano Drone.
Disappearing Vision Cones During Getaway
Bug: You're getting away from the casino undetected when the vision cones suddenly disappear from your radar. Despite this, the police aren't coming after you. Fix: This is a visual glitch and you haven't actually been discovered. Just keep going.
Spectator Leaving
Bug: Someone joins as a spectator, then leaves. You screw up the heist and have to restart. Then you fail the heist because "Your heist team quit." Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Silent & Sneaky Body Found
Bug: You're suddenly busted because a body was found... even if you haven't killed anyone yet. Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Uncollectable Heist Prep Equipment
Bug: You're doing heist prep mission with a friend, and you can't pick up the equipment because "you can't steal heist prep while on a heist prep mission." Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Heist Prep Vehicle Not Registering
Bug: You collect a heist prep vehicle and drive to your arcade, but it doesn't trigger the end of the mission. Fix: Suck it up and reset. --- Hope someone out there finds this guide helpful. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Is it still possible to change the Diamond Casino Vault Contents? Only asking because all afternoon (probably pushing 30 attempts) I've tried to change the vault contents from cash but to no avail. I'm looking for artwork. I've tried turning the game off and on, tried finding a new lobby just before Lester confirms the vault contents, I've tried calling Lester to cancel the heist and paying 25k again to restart the heist, but no luck. After repeating this over and over again in different ways I'm just getting cash every time. So my question, is the heist now locked to a set of vault contents regardless of restarting in the many ways in which you can? Or is it still possible to change the vault contents via one of the above means? I'm starting to think Rockstar has caught wind of people changing the contents and they've managed to lock the vault contents into place regardless of whichever way you restart/reset the heist. Has there been any GTA updates to confirm the above?
A Comprehensive List of All The Escape Rooms in Melbourne!
So! I'm Link and I have a real passion for escape rooms. I'm also on the spectrum so this is probably just a hyperfixation thing, but that's besides the point. I wanna go and do every room in Melbourne and beyond someday, so I decided to make a list of every room I could find on Google based in the Melbourne area and I thought some people might appreciate if I shared it! There are actually a surprising amount of venues I discovered when compiling this list that I'd never even heard of before, so making it and learning about them was good fun. There may have been some that I ended up missing though, even though I scoured every website that I could, so if there's anything I'm missing, let me know and I'll happily add it to the list! Oh yeah, it'd probably good to mention too that I'll be noting down the one I've completed and seen around just to provide a hint of anecdotal evidence for whether these places are worth going to or not, but always take them with a grain of salt or two because I'm...well, me. Okay, enough said, here's what I've found!
Deep Space: Divinity (NOT YET RELEASED - COMING NEAR THE END OF 2019)
The Crumbling Prince: Chapter I
The Crumbling Prince: Chapter II
Notes: Okay, if you haven't heard of these guys or are looking for a platinum-standard escape room to do, I couldn't recommend them any higher. I went in there with really high expectations (seeing that they'd been rated a 4.9/5 on Google), and even then I was quite literally blown out of the water. I can confidently say that Deep Space was one of the, if not the best escape room I've ever played in. The immersion, technology and story was on a level that I couldn't even possibly imagine, to the point where I was legitimately panicking towards the room's climax. I'm looking to get in a booking for The Crumbling Prince soon because it's supposedly even better than Deep Space, with multiple chapters and an over-arching story. Plus, with a Deep Space sequel on the horizon, I would recommend keeping an eye on Ukiyo more than any other venue in the country and I can't say that with any more sincerity.
Notes: Ahh, this takes me back. ERM was the first ever (at least, as far as I'm aware) escape room to open in Melbourne and it was also the place that set off my obsession with escape rooms to begin with! Me and my sister were the first ever teen-aged team to make it out of Disappearance on time, and recalling the experience is a delight. Disappearance is one of the best examples of a gold-standard escape room I could think of, and it would definitely stand against many of the more modern and technologically-reliant rooms of today. My mother also participated in the Mine Escape room, and gave it huge kudos for its environment, if that's anything to go by at all.
Notes: If you'd be interested at all, RUSH is running a haunted house event from 28 October 2019 - 3 November 2019 called The Exorcist with some puzzle solving elements, but it'll be retired after the Halloween season is over. No info on whether it'll come back, so definitely check it out if you're a horror buff like myself!
Notes: While I haven't attended this venue yet, they advertise this thing called a Duel Adventure which seems like good fun. According to their website: "The Duel Adventure format is designed for larger groups. It allows teams to compete against each other in a cat-and-mouse style game. This way Team A has to escape while Team B has to try to catch them before they are able to escape. After 30 minutes the roles are reversed. There is a 10-15 minute break to reset the game."
Notes: While these games are presented in a very specific order to be played in to present the story (which, if you couldn't tell by now, I absolutely LOVE rooms that are able to incorporate a good story into themselves), Chapters 1-3 can be played in any order. However! To qualify to play A Grimm Finale, the hardest of all the rooms, you must complete all of the previous chapters and be ready for a challenge. Let's hope that you're up to it. >;)
Notes: There are some really special things to note about Doctor Q's rooms. Namely, Biohazard and We Are Detectives, in that they're not the typical escape room experiences. We Are Detectives is more of a murder-mystery game with 8 players, 8 scenes and 1 murderer hidden amongst the group. Almost like a real life version of ONUW or Town of Salem. Biohazard on the other hand is a seemingly stupidly immersive escape room, that comes with a 2 hour game time and even NPCs that you can interact with and branch choices around in the game. I'll be trying this one soon and I'm really excited for it!
Notes: Another venue with multiple rooms containing one continuous story (in the order listed above), Operation Mindfall shuts down in 10 days as of writing, so grab some tickets quickly if an outdoor open-world escape room sounds fun! Note also that these chapters don't have to be played in order, but should be if you're a stickler for storytelling like me.
Notes: LOST AUS is my most commonly visited venue, as you can probably tell by my completion rates, and it's for good reason. While none of the rooms are extraordinarily outstanding in my opinion, they're still lots of good fun and offer plenty of variety as my silver-standard to gold-standard of escape rooms. Aokigahara is the last room I plan to play through here though, as it's the hardest one they have (with only a 3% clear rate according to the website) and the Exodus room doesn't seem very interesting to me with a 70% clear rate and weirdly biblical theme.
Notes: Another venue I'd never caught breeze of before compiling this list, LOST in MELBOURNE also has a 4.9/5 rating on Google, putting it on-par with Ukiyo as far as reviews go. This place is definitely on top of my hot-list now and I'll be sure to edit this post with my review of the place after a room or two.
Notes: Another unheard of venue! This one looks kinda promising as well. It's kinda crazy seeing just how many of these places go unnoticed unless you literally scroll through the pages at the bottom of your Google search.
Notes: You won't find Alien Invaders at any Strike venue, except up in Surfer's Paradise, but the reason I put it here is because all of the above games are distributed by the same company (who's name I'm furiously trying to find, but I'm having no luck right now), called Cubescape. There is another venue called Red Herring which has opened recently at Crown Casino that has Alien Invaders, Shutdown and The Old Haunt available to play, so if you wanna try that one, head up to Red Herring instead of buying a plane ticket to Queensland.
Notes: It genuinely makes me sad that these more underground escape room businesses don't get that much public attention, I know I'd personally hate it if I put so much into a business that I enjoy so much and it wasn't exposed to the mainstream public... :(
And that's all of them I could find! Please, please, please let me know if I've missed any and I'll happily add them to the list. Until then, have fun and be good people. :) EDIT: VaughnJess suggested Timezone Eastland! This venue has 2 rooms, Blackbeard's Cabin and Pharoah's Curse. EDIT 2: thudworm suggested Omescape, but their site/venue is currently closed for an upgrade, I'll be sure to keep posted on this one! EDIT 3: alilbitpsycho informed the that Prohibition at TRAPT ran their last sessions on 14/08/2019, so I've crossed it out on the list. Also, 6516440 FOUND THE DAMN COMPANY! It's called Cubescape, so thanks for that! EDIT 4: MY FIRST EVER GOLD!!!!!!!! Thanks, kind stranger :))
-Exclaimer- This post is based on my personal experience and what I think is important for the different approaches regarding the heist! Other players can have a diffenrent opinion so keep that in mind! I have done the heist a couple of times and encountered numerous problems and obstacles I had to overcome in order to succeed. I have watched many videos for the different approaches so I could be as efficient as possible. I tried to find a post where all these things I had to look up were summed up, but unfortunately I couldn't find any (I mighty have overseen it, in this case I'm sorry that there is a post out there where all of this is already written down). First things first. There are 3 different approaches for the diamond casino heist in order to get the job done:
Aggressive
Sneaky and Silent
Big Con
1. The aggressive approach This method is a bit more difficult. I would suggest to not to do it with, in total, 2 players as you only have 2:20 minutes in the vault if I remember correctly. Also you loose money everytime you get shot, which will happen sooner or late, especially if you are new to the heist and have never done it before. What I find is the easiest way to do this method is using the Sewers as entrence as you end up directly at the room in front of the man trap. You just need to take out the guards and walk right into the vault. As you exit I would not use the front door. For me it is way easier to get out of the casino on the back side as you just need to get past the horse racing track and you are almost good to go. As for inside the vault: It really depends with how many people you are doing the heist. But when I did it with 1 friends only I noticed that you should always pick everything up first and then proceed to place the termal charges to open the doors as you cant pick anything up while they are opening the door. Also I would, especially if you have gold as loot, always start at the very back of the vault and work my way to the front because you walk slower once you pick up some loot. So leaving the loot carts that are nearest to the vault entrance to pick them up after all the others is better. In this approach you can stand a couple of senconds in the gas as the alarm is already set off. Keep that in mind. I would also recommend to get the combat MP weapon set (I believe that it is the medium gun man that takes **7%**of the cut) as it just makes the mission easier overall. 2. The Sneaky and Silence approach This is in my opinion the most fun, but in the beginning also the most challenging one. Only problem here is that it could become really difficult doing it with randoms and not with friends, as you do need to have very good coordination to get it done. For me, the best way to do it is if you take the staff entrance as your entry and exit point. You do need good timing, thats why it can become difficult doing it with randoms as you just can't communicate that good with them. So far, all the doors on the inside were security level 2, so when you are doing the prep mission get the security level 2 card, as you don't need to hack the doors inside the casino. This can cost a lot of time if you need to do the difficult hack to get the doors open. The main objective is to stay hidden all the time. You do not want to set off the alarm! Remember that you can only shoot one camera down, the other ones you have to take out with your stun gun. Also, I would never take out more than 2 cameras at the same time with you stun gun as Lester keeps reminding you that the alarm will go off if too many cameras are down at the same time. For the guard in the staircase. During the first runs (we were in total 4 people/friends) we always set off the alarm when we killed the guy in the staircase. I then killed him while stealth walking (ctrl) and it worked. So I think that you need to be stealth walking in order to kill him and stay hidden. But I am not sure if its true. Now for your time insde the vault. With Paige as hacker (expert level) you get 3:30 minutes vault time. I would always have at least 1, if not 2 guys hacking the doors. This is not so easy when you are doing the hack for the first time but you eventually get used to it. I did this method a couple of times with 1 friend and we were able to get alle the gold carts and some loot boxes with doing it this way (about 2,5 million). He hacked all the doors and I started taking the loot since the beginning. I am not sure how many times you can fail while doing the hack but I believe it is something about 2 times. Keep that in mind too. What is good to know is that you need about 20 seconds to loot an entire gold cart. With cash it is a bit more. For artwork, this is by far the fastes loot you pick up. You take about 13 seconds with all the animations etc. I would start looting the carts at the back side too, just like I said in the aggressive approach. This applies for all approaches. What is important is that you need to get out of the vault before the gas comes. I would recommend to leave the vault with at least 20 seconds left. If you want to be on the safe side take the 30 seconds mark. Also, you need exactly 8 seconds from the centre of the middle room to get out of the vault. I always use the EMP after we leave the vault. It is really easy to get out if everything is dark and you can just run to your exit point. You do need to kill one guard at the very end before leaving the casino though. Once you leave the casino on the back side, you can stealth walk (ctrl) over the horse racing track to your escape vehicles. I think that the best way to escape the police is to get into the sewer tunnel and just wait at the very end of it. 3. The Big Con The easiest one is by far the Big Con. If you do it right you can get the heist done in about 15-20 Minutes (I did that playing with 1 friend only. So it was a 2 player heist finished in a bit more than 15 minutes). The fastest and easiest way is to use the Gruppe-Sechs (group six) uniforms as your entry strat. You can straight up walk past the guards to the vault. And yes you can run you don't need to "walk". For your exit point you use the staff entrance/exit. I recommend to get the NOOSE outfits as well. Just like the Sneaky approach you do want to leave the vault without being detected by the gas so you don't set off the alarm. Once you are in the staircase they find out what you did and start looking for you. You need to take out 1 guard with a pistol whip. Afterwards you stealth walkinto the changing room so you can disguise yourself as NOOSE guards. Once you are outside the casino you don't want to get caught walking away from it. So keep that in mind while you are getting away. Otherwise they will start shooting at you and you will loose money eveytime they hit you. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ General information For the "assistants" that you need to choose for the heist I recommend always to take the best Hacker (either Paige or Ari. The difference is that Paige takes 1% less cut) as you get with them a total vault time of 3:30 minutes (not in the aggressive approach!). You unlock Paige with buying the Terrorbyte and for Ari you need to collect all the signal jammers. For the escape vehiles I always go with the worst one (5% cut) because in my opinion it is good enough if you use the racing cars and not the minis (you can select which cars you want to use and once you see them you will know which ones I mean). For the weapons: If you are doing the Sneaky and Big Con approach you can go with the bad weapons too (5% cut). They are enough as you, if properly done, don't really use them a lot. For the agressive heist I recommend to get the combat MP (I suppose that they are called like that). The heist itself doesn't take that much time to accomplish. The prep mission are what takes time to do. I mostly do all of them in 90-120 minutes if I do them alone. With a friend you can easily do them in just over an hour or so. Another thing regarding the prep missions that is important is the Duncan mission. You wan't to get at least 8 of the 10 targets destoryed as it impacts the heist quite a lot in my opinion. And you can't restart it if you mess up. For the vault loot: you can resetthe heist if you don't get the loot you want. The best loot if you do the heist with 2 players only is artwork as you can take everything. Afterwards comes gold and lastly cash. Cash just takes too much time to empty a cart. To reset the mission you just call Lester. You will loose the 25K heist set up cost though. A bug that my friend and I found out is that while doing the Sneaky mission with 2 Players you get kicked out of the session while entering the man trap after looting the vault. I don't know if it will get fixed but you do need to restart the heist final from 0. I am not 100% sure if you will get kicked out every time when you restart. TL:DR I highlighted all the important stuff so you can just overfly the text without having to read all of it.
I got banned from the official GTA Discord Server.
I was doing the Diamond Casino Heist (Silent and Sneaky approach) with some dude from the discord server as I needed a person to do the heist with. The guy who I usually do these heists with (with no issues) wasn't on at the time, so I had to resort to a random. At first, everything is running smoothly. We kill the 3 guys at the front desk, then the guy in the security room and open the extra vault. Now after this is where it starts to get frustrating and difficult. between the 2 of us and neither of us we're using a mic at the time and we had to use discord messaging to communicate. After were done at the first floor, we head downstairs to the vault where there are 2 security guards standing in the back area. For some reason, our timing was always off. Either i shot my guy too early, or he shot his guy too early. Even when it seemed like we managed to kill those guys at the same time, the alarm KEPT going off. When this kept happening after 10 tries I messaged him saying that we should just leave those guys alone and just go without killing them. He didn't take my suggestion. He wanted to kill the guys in the back. So finally after SO many retires of trying to sync shot the guys in the back, he doesn't shoot the guard that comes through the door and then I get spotted and we failed. Thats when I get pissed and leave. I just figured that if you're doing a mission with someone, and you two can never seem to get it right, whats the whole fucking point in trying to stay to complete it with them especially when theres no chemistry at all? Shortly after I left, someone else messaged me asking to do the heist. So I did it with him. And guess what? I managed to do it with him FIRST FUCKING TRY WITH NO RESET, compared to the other guy I was playing with. That just goes to show that it just all comes down to finding the right person because not everyone is going to be a good fit and some people have different playstyles. So with that being said, if any of the reddit GTA mods or discord mods see this, I would really like to request a unban. I know suddenly leaving wasn't the right thing to do but I was heated as me and my partner could never seem to get it right. If there are any mods that can help with my situation please message me on discord my username is:dF_Oreo#9062 or under this reddit thread. By the way, I was originally going to post this under gtaonline but my posted kept getting flagged and deleted as "repetitive podium win post" even though this has NOTHING to do with that at all. Im posting this here hoping that someone thats a mod who can help or someone that has connections with that discord server sees this.
Q: Don't they have plenty of other guides like this on the GTA Online Mega Guide Thread? A: This guide combines VIP work Headhunter, Special cargo, Vehicle cargo, Bunker, MC Businesses, Nightclub, Terrorbyte and Arcade with Master Control Terminal in one guide assuming everyone has those businesses. The Mega Guide thread definitely helped me make this this guide with me putting links of more additional in depth tips from threads on the mega guide on how to do special cargo missions, vehicle cargo missions, Bunker, MC Businesses and Nightclub. I also posted the Mega Guide link twice in this guide for more in depth info and more in depth tips such as the original heist guide for newer players. Not many people know how to do the Biker business solo thus why they're giving up on it so that's one of many reasons why I'm making my own guide. I would love it if the mods put this guide on the GTA Online Mega Guide thread so it can get more attention and help other players. Also some but not all of the poor to rich type guides are outdated e.g no golden revolver headshot challenge or Maude's bounties with stone hatchet challenges that earn $250,000 upon each completion yet but they still give good information on how to get started so still look at those guides when in doubt. I'm looking to offer something new in 2020. Q: What links did you use from the GTA Online Mega Guide Thread? A: The main guide itself of course. https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/8xvpow/the_gta_online_mega_guide/ https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/5tzgfk/guide_for_vehicle_cargo_imports/ https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/4nszzk/crate_profits_v20_updated_to_111_crates/ https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/55vwyl/bikers_work_challenges_contracts_and_business/ https://www.gtaboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bikersbusinesses.png https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/920vm3/mine_and_your_experience_with_the_after_hours_dlc/ https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/ef40az/tips_for_new_players_look_at_comment/fby3g4c/ https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/31yrwz/mega_list_of_heist_tips_tricks/ Not sure this is from the Mega Guide but I'll link it anyways. https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/95crke/nightclub_profit_and_popularity_guide_not/ Q: Why doesn't this guide include the Hanger Business? A: Because the Hanger business is designed to have multiple players in your CEO organization and collecting crates solo can take up to 10 minutes and you only make $10,000 per crate while you can be making $22,000 in three minutes doing Headhunter or $31,000 in three or four minutes doing Terrorbyte missions Diamond Shopping, Targeted Data and Robbery in Progress. Q: I'm broke but I have all the businesses the main guide requires including a fully upgraded bunker or MC Businesses (Coke, Meth and Cash) and Nightclub with all upgrades and technicians. A: Follow the steps on the main guide as normal and you should be all good. Q: Why not do the Doomsday Heist instead for newer players? A: The facility is expensive around two million dollars for one in a decent location whereas a high end apartment for original heist only costs $200,000 and you can get around $2,000,000-2,500,000 million after finishing the original heist assuming you got all the extra bonuses and done all of them on hard with having 55% cut on the last four finales and 60% cut on the Fleeca finale. Doomsday heist missions are also hard because of the insane accuracy of the enemy NPCs which will require plenty of resets such as starting the current setup or finale. So paying two million for a facility isn't recommended for newer players. Q: Why no glitches such as vehicle dupes or Act 2 finale replay? A: This guide is for players both new and well set who want to earn money legitimately. Money glitching may get you banned and reset so I don't want players to risk losing their hard work and progress. Q: Does this guide have any glitches? A: Mostly no except changing your MTU on console or suspending the task manager on PC to get into solo public lobbies to avoid griefers. Other than that; no. Q: I bought the Criminal Enterprise starter pack and got a free Bunker in Paleto Bay, should I get it? A: Despite the Paleto Bay Bunker being free it's still a big NO. This is because the sale to Los Santos is a very long drive which takes time to get to the destination. Also most resupply missions take place in Los Santos so it's a very long drive the get the supplies back to the Paleto Bay Bunker. If not in a solo public lobby, there's a high chance a griefer can come after you on the exposed highway. Your much better off saving up for a Bunker in Farmhouse or Chumash since they're closer to the city. Q: Speaking of Criminal Enterprise Starter pack; should I get it and if I do get it what should I do? A: No; it's not worth spending real life money on the Criminal Enterprise Starter pack. But if you do get it it already has a free CEO Office, MC Clubhouse in Great Chapparal and a Counterfeit Cash business in Grand Senora Desert. Since you have free $1,000,000 then buy a high end apartment in Del Perro and start the original Heist. Scroll up and follow the "My Guide To Get Rich For New Players" for more. Q: I'm rank 25 but the host keeps kicking me out of their Heist finales or setups before it even begins, why is that? A: Because they don't trust lower ranked players from finishing the heist because they have a bad experience from lower level players not knowing what to do or constantly dying thus spending plenty of times of constant resetting if a low level player keep failing or dying so they're not even going to bother with them and kick them out in a heartbeat. Q: Wanted level won't go away at the Prison Break finale after everyone boards the plane even flying for hours still won't get rid of your wanted level? A: I think it's glitched due to bad connection that if a person already has their wanted level flashing away and the person with bad connection still has their wanted level thus everyone still gets the five star wanted level. If that's the case then reset the finale, if still doesn't work then change roles and if it still doesn't fix it; your going to need a new crew preferably get players who are in your country or continent for better connection since they're in the same regional servers. Q: I lost too much money while doing the Pacific Standard Heist? A: Restart the Heist. Q: How do I destroy all 10 Duggan shipments and should I even bother destroying them? A: You need a Buzzard to destroy all of them on time. With enemies on boats and helicopters, fly behind them and spam rockets and they should be destroyed. Buzzard is quick enough to get from one end of the map to another. Hunter or Akuka also works as well if not better. Yes you should destroy them especially doing the aggressive approach because the guards have armour and helmets that they take so much bullets to kill via headshot. On top of that, they also have and assault shotgun which shreds through your health in an instant. Destroying all of them means the guards won't have any armour, helmets and they'll only be equipped with a pistol. Q: When should I start buying other properties such as a Doomsday Facility, Casino Penthouse and Hanger. Also when should I start buying vehicles such as weaponized vehicles, planes and supercars? A: Once you have all the businesses required for this guide and you follow the steps everyday so you can save up on whatever you want to buy. Q: Now that you mentioned the Casino Penthouse, should I get it so I can do the Casino Penthouse missions. A: No, because the basic model costs $1,500,000 and the max payout assuming you finish all six missions is approximately $1,100,000 dollars. Only get it if you can do most of the steps on the main "Well set" guide. Q: I read the main "Well Set" guide already and know what to do. I want to get my friend who's new to the game to make easy money, how much will they make? A: Assuming your doing Step 1 Import/Export Method. Terrorbyte mission pays them $31,000 with Headhunter $21,000 and another Terrorbyte mission $31,000. They gain also $5,000 per fifteen minutes with additional $500 per successful source mission (crates or vehicle cargo) and $10,000 per sell mission. They'll make approximately $100,000 per cycle or approximately $300,000 per hour just for helping. They lose $250 per fifteen minutes though if the CEO dies. Once you move to Step 3 Selling Bunker and MC Businesses; the associate will get 10% of the sale capping at $30,000 on top of the extra $1,000-5,000 bonus per successful mission. Best to sell Bunker as MC so your associate can get $21,000 instead of $10,000 per successful sell mission (assuming you only bought one supply batch and your Bunker is fully upgraded). I maybe wrong on this though, if so then let me know. Q. Is the Buzzard better than the Oppressor MK II for grinding and why should I get the Buzzard before the MK II Oppressor? A: Overall as a grinder vehicle, I'd stick with the Buzzard because it can be consistently spawned using the CEO Interaction menu to spawn vehicles. The MK II Oppressor has a five minute cooldown after it gets destroyed or you returned it to storage and plus it remains at the location where you have picked up the vehicle cargo while doing source vehicle mission or on crate missions where all the crates is in a vehicle thus you have to leave the MK II Oppressor at the location. With the Buzzard you can easily spawn another. The reason why you should get the Buzzard first is because it's cheaper and already comes with homing missiles whereas the MK II Oppressor costs more and you require the Terrorbyte to install the homing missiles which are limited to 20 and already costs a lot on top of needing to own a Nightclub which you need in order to purchase the Terrorbyte. I recommend getting the MK II Oppressor once your well set. I know some will disagree with me here but personally I still use the Buzzard more than the Oppressor MK II for grinding with the Oppressor MK II being used for some missions and as a supplement grinding vehicle with it's better missiles and being easier to land in tight places. Q. Why should I buy supplies for the Bunker and MC Businesses, isn't it more worth it to steal since your not paying $75,000 to purchase supplies? A: Depends if it has upgrades or not. If it has full upgrades then it's not worth stealing because you can be doing other things such as doing Step 1 Import/Export guide while your businesses makes product in the background. Doing Step 1 I/E method makes more than enough money to pay off the supplies. You can also easily make money back by sourcing and selling vehicle cargo after you sell product from an MC Business or Bunker. If it has one upgrade, steal supplies until you have three bars or 60% of the supply bar is filled and buy the rest. If it has no upgrades then yes, I suggest stealing until the supply bar is full to make maximum profits. Q: Should I get security upgrades on the Bunker, MC Businesses and Nightclub? A: For Bunker and MC Businesses no. With Bunker if you stay under 50% of product you shouldn't be raided since buying one full supply batch gives you 20% of product. With the MC Businesses, make sure to register inside the MC Business and disband immediately after selling to prevent getting raided. For the Nightclub yes because there's less chance of getting raided. I have the security upgrade on the Nightclub and done the AFK method several times and not one time did I get raided, just make sure your not registered as a CEO or MC President while AFK. Q: Why do the Steps have "Repeat 1-5 or 1-8" instead of "Repeat steps 1-5 or steps 1-8"? A: To make it clearer so people don't get confused from "repeat steps 1-7" which some people will think but there's no step six or seven. Most people shouldn't get confused though but I want to make this guide as clear as possible so no one gets confused. Q: Is it worth doing Nightclub popularity mission to keep your Nightclub popularity full? A: No since the missions are pretty long and your much better off switching DJs every 90 minutes to prevent losing popularity and get back to what your doing quickly. Q: Is selling two Post OP Van missions possible while selling the MC Businesses from Los Santos? A: Yes if your quick and if your Coke, Meth and Cash is NOT in Elysian Island or Terminal because it'll be much harder or impossible to sell two Post Op Vans. Make sure the Coke, Meth and Cash is in northern Los Santos if you already bought those Los Santos locations. Q: About the MC Businesses, I bought the ones in Paleto Bay or Elysian Island/Terminal, also my Bunker is in Paleto Bay or in a location other than Farmhouse of Chumash; should I move my MC Businesses to Sandy Shores/Grand Senora Desert and my Bunker to Farmhouse or Chumash? A: Yes, if you have the money to do so because you have to re-buy the upgrades once you change locations although you get half on what you spent on the location back unless you got the Paleto Bay Bunker through the Criminal Enterprise Starter pack, which in that case, you can't get any rebates from moving to a different location. Q: Other than MC Businesses and Bunker should I move my other businesses and Bunker away from Paleto Bay? A: Yes again, since most missions take place in Los Santos. Don't be tempted to get the free arcade in Paleto Bay if your a Twitch Prime subscriber, instead buy one of the locations in Los Santos. With the facility, this is entirely up to you if you want to move. Q: Ok but why should I NOT buy a business in Paleto Bay? A: Because most of the resupply missions for the MC Businesses, Bunker and Arcade/Casino Heist setups take place in Los Santos and it's a long drive or flight back to those businesses. You might be lucky and a resupply mission takes place in Paleto Bay but overall it's not worth it. Also sell missions are very far from Los Santos should you choose to sell remote and unnecessary amount of time is being wasted in trying to get back to collect another vehicle while you already reached that second vehicle if you sell from the Sandy Shores businesses. If your not in a solo public lobby, there's a higher chance griefers can come after you and destroy your product since your open on the highway and your most likely not even half way to your destinations when you could've arrived their if you sold from the Sandy Shores MC Business or Farmhouse/Chumash Bunker. I think I mentioned something like this in an earlier question above. Q: I want to move my Bunker, MC Business and Arcade out of Paleto Bay but don't have the required funds yet although I'm more than willing to re-buy upgrades for them. How do I still do solo sell missions from Paleto Bay. A: With the MC Businesses assuming you have the upgrades, sell in the Blaine County area. With the Bunker sell remote to Los Santos as normal but make sure your in a solo public or peaceful grinder lobby to avoid being griefed. Still buy supplies though since you still make a profit (except on the Document Forgery) if they have full upgrades. Half upgraded, steal until three bars and no upgrades steal until bar is full. Good luck with the long drive back from Los Santos. Q: Why do players buy businesses in Paleto Bay anyways? A: Because players get duped in buying the cheapest location for the Bunker and the Arcade. Another reason I hear is because to get away from other players and tryhards/griefers, you can go into a solo public lobby to fix this problem. Don't be tempted at any costs in getting a Paleto Bay business. Personally, I have a medium house with a six car garage there only because I have plenty of money and only wanted a property in Paleto Bay just for the sake of it. Q: A majority of players suggest getting the Farmhouse or Chumash Bunker but which one of those two should I get since I know they're both closest to the city. I'm torn apart on what to choose from? A: This is a hard choice to be honest, I can see why many people suggest since they're closest to the city and both are next to a freeway. Since the guide suggest buying supplies, you'll be doing sell missions most of the time. Here are the sell missions you get and which location is best for which missions. Feel free to disagree with me here, this is from my experience from doing Bunker sell missions.
Phantom Wedge mission: Slightly for the Farmhouse Bunker because most of the drop offs are in eastern Los Santos and the Farmhouse Bunker is located on the eastern half of the map.
Insurgent Pick Up Custom delivery to one location: Probably even because the drop off locations are in mixed east and west of Los Santos.
Insurgent Pick Up Custom multiple drop offs: I think slightly for the Chumash Bunker for this one because most of the first drop off is also located on the western half of Los Santos.
Dune buggy: Probably even for this one since you can take whatever drops feels closest to you.
Monster truck mission: Probably the Farmhouse Bunker because most of the drop offs take place on the middle to eastern and south eastern parts of the map. Some of the drops does favour the Chumash Bunker though.
I maybe missing some missions though so let me know which ones I missed. Price.
Chumash: $1,650,000.
Farmhouse: $2,375,000.
Which one should I get?: Personally I'd go with the Farmhouse but it's a bit more expensive than the Chumash which is another great location. Q: A griefer is coming after me or the vehicle carrying the product got stuck and there's literally no way to get it out or the plane drop mission is glitched thus making it impossible to drop cargo and finish the sell mission, because I spent lots of money buying or lots of time collecting supplies, what should I do? A: Close the application if on PS4 or dashboard if on Xbox One or find a new session on all platforms. You only lose ten percent of product but at least all that time or money isn't wasted and you get to keep most of the product. Q: Should I sell in a populated lobby? A: Yes but only if your certain the other players there are peaceful otherwise a griefer may come after your cargo. Make sure your in a grinding lobby just to be safe. Q: I have three other players with me in my organization, I know how Step 1 I/E Method works but how should I do the cycle? A: Instead of selling the car, source the vehicle instead until you have four top range vehicles stored in your warehouse and repeat the cycle since there's a twenty minute cooldown per vehicle sold in one go, so since you sold four vehicles, you'll have a one hour cooldown. Q: Is selling a full 111 crate warehouse possible solo? A: Yes, I've sold 111 crates several times solo no problem. The only problem I had was the plane mission with the enemy Buzzard and Valkyrie variant. All I did on that mission is get in the Titan, scout the area with a Buzzard or Hydra, destroy the enemy NPCs, drop the crates off and done. Three Brickades and one tug boat sales are very easy to do. Q: Should I get the vehicle upgrades for selling the crate warehouse missions? A: Armour upgrades don't provide extra protection from rockets fired from griefers in MK Oppressor but it may provide extra protection from enemy NPC bullets and explosive rockets from Hydra or Lazer. Bulletproof tyres are useful on the Brickade and speed upgrade is useful on the Tug. Jammer upgrade is near useless on the plane especially if your in a solo public lobby. The upgrades worth getting are the speed upgrade on the Tug and bulletproof tyres on the Brickade. So should you get upgrades?: Up to you really. Q: You mentioned buying supplies from the Master Control Terminal from the Arcade but should I sell my product from there though? A: No because you have to go all the way to the business your selling from which wastes some sell time just trying to get there. Your much better off selling from the actual business location because the sell vehicle is right there most of the time. However, not all vehicles spawn at the business location such the Dinghy boat, Dodo plane or Buzzard for the MC Businesses and the Tug and Plane for the crate sell missions. The sell vehicles for the Bunker are always located next to the Bunker, the sell vehicle for the Nightclub is always located next to the Nightclub. You still need to actually go to the vehicle warehouse to sell a car though. Q: Why do you suggest using the Bati 801RR, isn't it the exact the same as the Bati 801? A: The Bati 801RR actually has better acceleration than the Bati 801 but they still share the exact same handling and top speed. Q: Did you have any help while making this guide? A: A little bit from Youtubers and some threads from the Mega Guide, other Reddit posts and the GTA Forums but I mostly made it with my experience in grinding the businesses. Also the tips I post are mainly from my experience in selling. Q: Who does this guide cater to? A: Players who are new or well set.
Let’s start by saying this picking your approach to the heist has no effect on the payout. the approach you take determines how long you’ll be playing the mission. from longest to shortest is Silent and Sneaky Aggressive The Big Con the fastest way to make money with this new heist is taking the Big Con approach, you won’t lose a single dime unless you take the helicopter route. and if you take the route it should only take up to 15 min max. Bogdon Act2 Takes about 10 minutes and pays a million, the casino takes a few min longer and pays more and can be replayed with the reset glitch. The vault contents and i’m sure everyone already knows this by now but the order from most paying goes like : Diamonds Gold Artwork Cash some advice here, when the gold glitch gets patched the artwork will be the best for those who like to duo and don’t run squads on heists. for squads it’s going to be diamonds when they come out.
is it true that you can keep resetting your game during a casino heist while you are looking for the vault contents to eventually get diamonds or gold or whatever
http://steamcommunity.com/games/218620/announcements/detail/1605964209071393339 New Year, More Heisting! We are back again after the holidays and new year celebrations. We ended last year with a bang and we start the new year with a crimewave over Washington. Four more levels gets added to the Crime Spree to further expand the roster of levels available to you. Attention: As new levels are added to the rotation any active Crime Sprees will be reset.You pay continental coins to start again from the same level or claim your reward and start over. We are also continuing the tweaks we started last year. This time the focus is Special Weapons, Sniper Rifles and some other weapons. The Swan Song skill has also been adjusted. VR Beta For VR beta we have improved the Inventory Belt customization. You can now set the location of the boxes and further improve your experience in the game and improve your heisting capabilities. At the same time we looked over the fadeout system when your head collides with a wall or ceiling. You now have more options to define how you want the game to react. Last but not least we added a new red dot shader to all non-zoomed red dot sights. This should further increase the realism when you make the helmets fly. This does not affect zoomed sights. You can find a complete list below in the change log. Special Weapons and Swan Song tweaks The Rocket Launchers and the Thanatos were originally designed to be the best weapons for dispatching bulldozers. Recently we feel like they have not been competitive enough to compensate for the drawbacks they bring with them. For this reason we are raising their damage to reduce how many shots they need to kill Bulldozers. While we like the way Swan Song works, it is often viewed as a mandatory skill for the One Down difficulty due to how strong of a counter it is to the one down mechanic. With the reduced duration the player will have to work harder to make the most out of the skill. To an new heisting year of loot and gunfire. OVERKILL_Tobias OVERKILL - a Starbreeze Studio.
