Go Bank Stealth Solo

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

So, I look up to General Mcbadass when it comes to solo stealth heists. If I'm having trouble, I go see how he did it.
I wanted to try to do Go Bank.
So I watched his video on it.

Here's the problem I'm having and I'm wondering if it isn't making it all but impossible short of absolute favor of the RNGods.

First, I have yet to have a single attempt go without Gensec showing up. So, did they change that so that they ALWAYS show up or is it such a low probability that I just haven't encountered it yet?

But then, even if I am lucky enough that Gensec doesn't call until the last 45 seconds to a minute, giving me just enough time to ECM rush the GS guards and hope to be lucky enough to crack open a box that has cash in it allowing me to escape... it seems like Gensec will still call the police.
I seriously had an aced ECM running with the guards down, no pagers going off. Before the ECM was done, a message scrolled, 'Gensec has called the police.'
Done...

So, was that a glitch?
Has anyone managed to pull off Go Bank stealth in the last 6 months, solo?
Has something intrisically changed so much that you can't?

Or have I just been getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the RNGods?

Cant you simply kill gensec?


And also, really dont bother to do this heist in stealth at solo. Unless you are extremely lucky with RNG ( like general at most of his videos ) like lasers closing any 100% passages while the phone calls. Or captain rogers making the second call ( 2 minutes to complete heist ) as soon as vault opens, etc

Also, if you want to see an true stealth yter, there is m0rtifer, that actually does things going a bit farther. Like his 75 DR stealth series

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

Yeah, the RNG on that heist is insane.
I'll check that out though. Thanks for the heads up. McBadass has helped me a lot, but it never hurts to have a few go to's.

I do GO Bank with 2 ECMs and bodybags.

You need to memorize all cameras.
You kill 1 guard in back room and hope for RNG and noone seeing him.

Then you go and place 1 ECM, kill all civs/tie 6 up and kill 2nd guard. Destroy all cameras. in 30 secs. Good luck.

You answer the pager and open the vault.

Now you wait for the lock, answer the phone and kill all incoming civies with a Judge or so.

When Gensec arrives, you kill first, wait for pager to go off, place 2nd ECM and kill 2nd guard. Then you answer pager. After ECM runs out you answer 2nd pager.

You could also do that without an ECM if you kill them real close to each other so you can answer both pagers.


Heist is still a ♥♥♥♥♥ to solo because of constant phones/civi/cop spam. But you can complete it this way with 1 bag.

If you want loot... Do a different heist.

Edit: Oh yeah. Gensec can randomly just call the police. Seems like heavy BS to me.

If you have problem with the 2 Gensecs showing up, you can just kill them both and answer their pagers. It takes 10 seconds IIRC do answer a pager, and if you kill them at the same time, you will have 2 seconds left (which is clearly enough, because they're really close) to answer the 2nd one.

Burglar cuts off your pager answering time, so you can get 4 seconds between the 2 pagers, and because you will never kill both gensecs at the same time, you'll have even more time. It's not a problem, except if there is an alerted civilian near, as you have to hold interact for 16/20 seconds.

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

THis has been my MO and it has worked, all the way until Gensec shows up...

Count, spot cams.
Go out back, mask up, check trunks.
Deal with manager if he comes out.
Handle the cam that spawns on a high pillar on the right side in the rear.
Wait for a guard to go into the ladder room or come outside.
Answer his page, drop an ECM, rush the other guard, then cams.
Look for cards, answer page, keep it loud.

This works fine.
I even got into the vault, but as I was in there, but I had no way to avoid the pager alert on the 2 GS guards outside and I couldn't get to the van in time.

I'm running a modern 'control freak' build, modified from the one I use in 4 stores to let me have a saw.

It's literally been the RNG and it makes me wonder if there is even a chance that the GS guards won't come.

It's almost as if you ahve to get the 2 minute timer with no Gensec guards sent(if that still is possible).

I think I'm into my 20th attempt, each one, GS before i'm in the final minute which means I have maybe 30 seconds before they arrive, another 30 or so before my ECM gives out, and another 12 before the pagers alert, and I still have to find a stack of cash and get to the van without tripping the lasers, lol.

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

And I am certainly running Burglar it's why I can handle two pagers at the same time within a few feet of each other.
ECM's and Ammo(for saw) with Ammo asset(for Deagle to keep civvies intimidated).

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

I really want to solo stealth this, if only for the bragging rights, lol. But my god... at least make it a 70/30 shot on no Gensec... or nix the lasers, or something, lol.
Especially if they ever put out a 3rd PD... then you'll practically have to go solo unless you move to the new one.

[JeanneOskoure]

Just kill them, you clearly have enough time to answer both pagers. If needed, drop an ECM to prevent a civilian to call the cops.

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

I do kill them, that's what I'm saying.
The 4th pager has set off every time, lol.
If it was just kill them and answer the page, it'd be no issue.
But I've gotten all 4 pagers, no civvies calling, still alerts.

[Perpetual Pilgrim]

I guess I'll review the recordings I have just to be sure I'm not missing something, but I am positive the fourth page has resulting in the dispatcher not buying it.

[JeanneOskoure]

The only reason the alarm would go off after answering the pager and no civilian near would be
A) you used 5 pagers (with the possible GenSec truck spawn)
B) you didn't answer the phone in the bank fast enough

You may just be right.
The one that I thought glitched an alert through the ECM turns out I missed the call out for the phone.
So could be the same with the 4th pager issue I thought I was having.
I'll try it again with an eye to the phone when they arrive.
Thanks.

Gensec reinforcements can't spawn if you got the armored truck RNG. However as far as I know there still can be a 5th guard spawn coming from the parking toilets.

If you wanna brag, then GO Bank ain't that you're looking for.
A all bags Big Bank, that's what you can brag about.

Edit: And yeah, the phone is a ♥♥♥♥♥. It's ringing constantly.
