Disable alarms?

[Masquerade]

Can you turn them off? I've destroyed a power generator but its done nothing

[IchbinLuka]

No, the point of the missions with alarm is to complete them before the security arrives.

[Masquerade]

oh, ok thats a bit annoying

[arthrfortune]

thats the whole point of the game

[J4MESOX4D]

The moment an alarm is triggered, you have 60 seconds to complete it. You can spend as long as you wish in the planning phase. Look for optimal and creative ways to secure each objective.

some missions have the ability to avoid alarms
the car ones you just gotta blowtorch off the section with the alarm wire, and the propane tank one you just gotta blowtorch the red light on it and poof its cleared target

[Józef Piłsudski]

Its the point of the game but if you hate it that much you can always delete the alarm in the game files

[Bisch]

I can never blowtorch the stuff alarm is mounted on. I can only steal complete cars and boats with alarms but not when mounted to walls or metal structures

[Aristocratic Cthulhu]

The car alarms only go off once either a car is collected/destroyed or the red alarm wire is no longer connected. If you blowtorch off a good chunk of the car where the wire is connected without severing it you can drive the car away without triggering the alarm.

[Bisch]

oh ok, nice tip. But staying connected is not enough when you try to cut out a big part there the alarm is mounted to. Gonna try your variant.

The wall alarms ruin the game for me, thanks for confirming that's the whole game. Timed mission are never fun for me, uninstalling now, purchased the wrong game.

[LeftPaw]

I was going off destroying power stations in a attempt to disable the alarms but then it dawned on me that these are timed missions. I don't like timed missions at all, so in a attempt to get them out of the way I raised the time allowed to it's maximum.
Timed missions = Baaaad.
I was just thinking, they are not all timed missions are they?

[Twisteddigit]

Alarm missions suck. If that's the "point" of this game, I'm out. Annoying.

[PostMortalForm]

I believe you can adjust the timer in the settings so that its super easy if you want a more relaxed play through.

Thanks for this. The worst part of the game by far is the alarms you can't disable.

I just refunded it. This isn't a heist game, it's an escape game. And in case people don't understand the difference, in a real heist the mark doesn't know they have been hit until it's too late to do anything about it. Escaping is something you do when a heist goes poorly.
