What you need

  • A high-end apartment with a planning room (from ~$200,000)
  • Exactly the right player count per heist (2 for Fleeca, 4 for Pacific Standard)
  • The host pays all setup costs up front and recoups them from the take

Recommended loadout

  • Carbine Rifle and a decent sidearm — nothing exotic required
  • Full armour before every finale
  • An armoured Kuruma trivialises most setup missions
  • Know the bike escape route for Pacific Standard by heart

Crew roles

  • Host

    Pays setups, sets the cut. Should take the biggest share.

  • Pilot

    Prison Break and Humane Labs both hinge on the aircraft roles.

  • Demolition / Crowd Control

    Holds ground while the others work objectives.

  • Driver

    Owns the escape routes, especially the Pacific Standard bikes.

Prep missions

  • 01

    The Fleeca Job

    Two players. Scope Out, Kuruma, then the finale. The best possible tutorial heist.

  • 02

    The Prison Break

    Four players: Plane, Bus, Station, Wet Work. The finale needs a competent pilot.

  • 03

    The Humane Labs Raid

    Four players. Key Codes, Insurgents, EMP, Valkyrie. The finale lives or dies on the gunners.

  • 04

    Series A Funding

    Four players. Lowest payout of the five — run it purely for the completion bonus.

  • 05

    The Pacific Standard Job

    Four players. Hack, Bikes, Convoy, Bus. The finale is the classic bike escape.
