Casino Heist

The Casino Heist is a heist featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Diamond Casino Heist update.

Description
In order to proceed to the heist, the owner of the arcade has to complete the required setup mission Casino Scoping, decide the approach and complete all required preparations.

Once all requirements are met, the host just needs to get back to the planning room and plan the entry and exit points, three different buyer levels (which increases distance) and the optional features that help the crew during the getaway.

There are three approaches the host can select, which they can choose based on their gameplay style. Unlike other heists, mistakes do not cause immediate mission fail, but this would potentially change the course of the heist, therefore requiring good coordination to follow the required steps during the heist and adopting a strategy if something go wrong.

Silent & Sneaky
"Sneak into the Casino and stealthily get past or take out security until you get to the vault. Gain access to the vault, take its contents, and make your way back out of the Casino without anyone knowing you were there."

- Brief.

The Silent & Sneaky approach is focused into getting to the vault without alerting anyone.

The crew heads to the casino and they have to sort the security guards, as well as cameras found on the area. A Stun Gun is provided to disable the cameras for a short time. Players have to be careful to not alert a guard or disable various cameras at once.

Once they get to the vault, they need to drill both sides of the door and get the loot before a failsafe is triggered, thus activating the nerve agent. After exiting the vault, the EMP device should be triggered so they can get past the security group checking the vault. Lester warns the crew that the police was alerted and may immediately detect them, as all civilians were evacuated.

Once outside, the area is being guarded by the National Office of Security Enforcement and the crew has to avoid them to get into the getaway vehicles undetected. With the getaway vehicles, the crew now just needs to lose the cops before finally driving to the buyer's location.

The Big Con
"Using disguises, enter the Casino and make your way past security to the vault. Gain access to the vault, take its contents, and get out of there before they even know they've been robbed."

- Brief.

The Big Con approach is focused into using disguises to not alert anyone.

The crew heads to the casino disguised as either Gruppe Sechs guards or Bugstars employees. They have to get past security without letting them know they are using disguises.

Once they get to the vault, they need to get the loot before a failsafe is triggered, thus activating the nerve agent. After exiting the vault, the crew now have to evade the alerted security team and use the new disguises to get out of the casino. Lester warns the crew that the police was alerted and may immediately detect them, as all civilians were evacuated.

Once outside, the area is being guarded by the NOOSE and the crew has to avoid them to get into the getaway vehicles undetected (up to a certain perimeter if they are disguised as NOOSE agents). With the getaway vehicles, the crew now just needs to lose the cops before finally driving to the buyer's location.

Aggressive
"Fight your way through Casino security to get to the vault. Gain access to the vault, take everything you can and fight your way back out with the loot, leaving a trail of destruction behind you."

- Brief.

The Aggressive approach says it all; it is entirely focused into fighting all the way through the heist against all enemies.

The crew heads to the casino and a cutscene plays where they burst through the entrance, scaring everyone in there. The crew then regains control and start fighting against the security guards to get in the staff lobby. Once there, more security guards will be there, so they need to defend themselves.

Once they get to the vault, they need plant explosives to blast the door and get the loot before a failsafe is triggered, thus activating the nerve agent. After exiting the vault, the crew now have to take out more security guards to get out of the casino. Lester warns the crew that the police was alerted.

Once outside, the area is surrounded by the NOOSE and the crew has to fight and evade them to make way into the getaway vehicles. With the getaway vehicles, the crew now just needs to lose the cops before finally driving to the buyer's location.
