General Prep Works
Hacking Device
Get a FIB-pass from a corrupt agent, enter the FIB building and...
Vault Keycards

Patrol Routes
Go to a meeting of the Duggan security guys, eliminate them and search for the right car. Once found, open the trunk, take a photo of the documents and send them to Lester.
Duggan Shipments
Like a freeroam job. You have to destroy 10 shipments of these shipments, spread all over the map. Best use a helicopter for that.
Security Intel
Help poor Vincent, who is now a mall security guy. The Intel will be done in every heist when completed once.
Power Drills
Go to a construction site that is marked and collect either a vehicle with the drills or the drills alone. One person can carry two drills. A disguise is sometimes available.
Security Pass
- Level 1: Acquired from a cleaning woman.
- Level 2: Acquired from a croupier.
We had to crash a drug-party and find the croupier to search him for his pass.
Specific Prep - Silent & Sneaky
Nano Drone
You have to drive round the city and shoot down drones used by the LSPD. Then just collect the dropped parts.
Vault Laser
Go out to the desert, fight some (OP) Army guys and search for the lasers. They look like this:
EMP Device
Go to LSIA and steal a cargobob. Then fly to the university, lift the EMP out (it is right on the open filed) and fly it to the substation of LS Water and Power right across the casino.
Gta Online Casino Heist All Access Points
Infilitration Suits
Go out to Human Labs and kill the guards in your way (the alarm will trigger as soon as you enter) Bags are in the rear (where you have to par the Insurgent in the Human Labs Heist). Bags look like this:
Specific Prep - The Big Con

Specific Prep - Aggressive
Thermal Charges
Acquire Thermal Charges to blow up vault door. We had to go out to Sandy Shores and crash a Hillbilly party.
Vault Explosives
We had to go out to Paleto Bay and recover the explosive from a sunken airplane, guarded by Merryweather. Grab scuba gear and dive out to find it.
Reinforced Armor

Boring Machine

Third Board - Heist
Your personal weapon arsenal can be collected in either Laundry or Waste Disposal
Silent and Sneaky
Take out the electric stuff with your stun gun
Kill the guards right away, DO NOT STUN THEM! Guards with a helmet can't be killed right away. You can kill them with your knife.
Our way through:
- We went in through waste disposal, disabling the first metal detector, in the area behint it.
- After that we opened up the guard rooms and killed the guards.
- In the elevator bay, there is a button in the middle of the security room, right by the window, that opens the door of a small vault. There is the daily income in there, that you can steal. Press the button, let one guy go in, close the door and wait until he has emptied the vault. The vault can be opened from the inside.
We waited for the elevator guard to pass and opened up the stairs access.
The Big Con
Our settings where:
- Entrance: Security Tunnel
- Entry Disguise: Gruppe Sechs
Gta Online Casino Heist Solo
- Exit: Waste Disposal
- Exit Disguise: Firefighters
Buyer: High Level (is further away, but you get more money)
First: Get into the Gruppe Sechs van and drive to the casino, to the security tunnel. You are being let in and have to drive down the tunnel, where your credentials are being checked and you are able to park the van.
Then, go down to the vault area, proceed through the manhole. To go through, you have to swipe two keycards at the (roughly) same time (time-window is roughly 4 seconds) and then just go down the winding tunnel.
Then you have a short cutscene, one knocks out the guard who opens the door and then you have to start heisting.
