A practical heist sequence
- Scout the target and its approaches while planning the route out.
- Check equipment, bag space and transport for that target.
- Put on the mask when ready to start criminal activity.
- Control the workers and the alarm risk. Official guidance recommends keeping staff at gunpoint.
- Move the loot, watch for rival crews and reach the buyer or storage destination.
- Take sale proceeds promptly instead of leaving cash exposed.
These steps organize confirmed mechanics; they are not a tested guaranteed-profit route. Gear, a rival arrival and your escape vehicle can all change a run.
Split tasks before a group run
| Task | Decide before starting |
|---|---|
| Entry | Who handles access and the necessary equipment? |
| Control | Who watches workers and approaches? |
| Carrying | Who moves valuables, and where do they go? |
| Escape | Who drives, and where do you regroup? |
Kefir describes dividing break-in, carrying and cover duties. A successful entry still leaves the haul and escape to complete.
Decide whether to continue
A heist streak raises Notoriety during a city visit. Better fence deals and perks can reward continuing, but another robbery still exposes what you already carry. Decide whether the next attempt is worth risking the bag.
Leaving the city clears Criminal status. On your next entry, you can choose a role again. Finishing one robbery does not itself clear that status.
Is every robbery a scripted mission?
The official material describes a sandbox with multiple targets and player interference. Check the target’s requirements.
Can surrender preserve equipment?
Official support says it confiscates the bag while preserving equipped gear. A bribe is a separate option.
Where should the haul go?
Choose a buyer or base storage. Lenny’s cash storage is not general storage for stolen goods.
