How do YOU do Big Bank?

[redtieguy]

Not getting into a fight or anything or asking the "best" way. But I recently ran a Big Bank job and I was hounded on for being down when I was the only one by the timelock door. I went for a spare part and was scolded. Apparently the host and such wait for the assault to end to get the spare parts.

What went different was they didn't wait. They looked for a keycard to get into the server and look another for the rewire door. I brought c4, so once they were spotted, I blew the server room door and moved to the timelock once we had the code. (They found a card for the rewire door).

Then they moved the pig with two people, while the other two defended downstairs without any hostages.

The way I run it...

Bus Stop, deaddrop ammo and medkit in the vault area.

Between my c4, my friend's ECM overdrive, and anyone else's saw, we can get into the server room. We wait for my friend to get to the roof, set up the drill on the rewire door. After so long, we move to the server room and look for a keycard if we can. If not, we blow it, go tie down hostages BEFORE looking for the computer (we're waiting for the pig and drill either way).

After this, it is the usual fight for the vault and move bags between assaults. If I'm not using c4 already, we try keys or set up drills, which last about two minutes given all the upgrades. Someone with a saw also solves this problem.

I've run this plan with two familiars and two people new to the mission, and it seems to work with minimal hitches.

What's *your* Big Bank plan?

Stealth. ;)

Usually I do the Bus Stop with two ammo bags dropped by the vault. If we do find a keycard, we usually only find one and use it for the door on the roof. Once that's done, I go for the pig immediately while the others go for the computer/server. They then scramble around for rewiring the timelock while I'm still in the crane sniping away. As for getting spare parts, that depends on how rough the assault is at that moment. If it's going pretty good, we grab the bags and spare parts. If it's not going well, we wait for the assault to finish.

After that, everything's normal. We drill the vault, use keys/c4/drill/saw for the vault doors, grab all the bags and move them to one corner and move them up to the bus between assaults.

I must say that I've done this so many times that lately I've been trying to give myself a challenge and attempt to stealth it. I've gotten close, but never have successfully done it.

[redtieguy]

I've failed one bag away from finishing the stealth.

If I'm running with my crew then we do elevator trick, I run deep into the Ghost tree so I can ECM doors and pick the safe in the managers office and we go as far as we can. If we are caught during the moving of bags we ECM chain out.

Preplaning :Bustop + 2 Deaddrop Ammos
Equipment: 2xAmmo Bags + 2xMedic Bags(With Double Charges) + 6xTrip Mines

I'm playing with two of my friends , MasterTech and Pure Mastermind and I'm a MasterEnforcer myself. So there's a lot of "GET THE ♥♥♥♥ UP" while playing. Since both of my friends love a fully modded auto fire Commando 556, their ammunition deplete very fast so I use 2 ammo bag deaddrop as a gift for them while using my CAR-4 to cover their back.

Usually we find a keycard to open a server room and use C4 to blow the Rewire room first.
After that my friends find and hack a computer while I'm rotating the crane to drop a pig , snipers was not much a big deal since I got one Pistol Messiah and ICTV armour.
After the pig is dropped and the door is open , we grab spare part and move the bags in the setup the Beast. After it's done ,we blow the iron door with my friend's remaining C4s and take only the loots placed on the table.

The open player slot is usually a random people (becaues the last crew of our team is too lazy to play this).

Stealth - Timelock Hack, Elevator Escape, Keycard Drop in Manager's Office area, MAYBE Poison Cake instead of Timelock Hack. At least 6 ECMs(4x30 seconds, 2x20 seconds, all used if we get caught hauling bags to the Elevator Escape). We always find the Vault Gate Keys, but usually 1 person will bring Aced Silent Drilling just incase the keys end up behind the tellers(and the rest of the front has a great RNG layout).

1 person stays in Casing Mode to spot guards with Chameleon, until we are all inside the safe. 1 person deals with hacking the server and dealing with Manager's Office. 2 people are dealing with wandering civs/canteen civs by putting them into the parking garage, they are also killing all the guards in the front area(before the vault doors), they are also the ones to secure the 2 computer rooms once we are doing the override. We don't start the Timelock until everyone that walks has been dealt with, because once we start it, we are not coming back to this area, so it needs to be controlled. Once it is time to enter the Vault Area, 1 person goes and gets the Vault open, while the other 2 that are masked up stay back, the 1 still in Casing Mode goes with the one opening the Vault. After that, it's slowly haul the bags to the Elevator Escape. If we are doing it stealth, we leave the safety deposit boxes.

Loud - Timelock Hack, Bus Escape, Keycard Drop in Manager's Office area, The Beast. 2 double stuffed health kits, 6 double stuffed ammo bags, 1 Saw, whatever armor you feel works best with your class(usually ends up being CTV/ICTV, but I play with a Ghost that always wears a suit), at least 1 sniper to be going up top to drop The Beast(won't be bringing the health kits) any other snipers stay down.

3 stay in Casing Mode, and try to find the server room & keycards. First keycard is for the server room, while the next keycard is to speed up the roof part. The 1 sniper gets a keycard and gets to the roof, and up to dropping The Beast as fast as possible. The other 3 are getting the Timelock started and finding the Vault Gate Keys, while the sniper is getting to the roof. Usually by the time the sniper is up there, the computer has been identified so there isn't much wait between the sniper getting to the roof and getting up the crane. Once the Timelock has started, the 3 guard the Timelock while the sniper drops The Beast. If between Assault Waves, the sniper will just jump through the skylights, since we have 2 people with Aced Inspire(just part of builds, not specifically for this heist). Move The Beast as soon as possible to the Timelock, usually in the middle of the Assault Wave. Haul The Beast to the Vault. Drop 1 health kit by The Beast, 2 ammo bags. Saving the rest for when needed. Get spare repairs parts for The Beast when you feel it is safe. Everyone stays close enough to each other that Inspire won't be a hassle, yet far enough apart to cover the area. Start the Bus Escape as soon as it is safe to do so. 1 person opening the Vault Gates, 1 person bagging loot/Sawing safety deposit boxes, 2 people hauling bags to the Bus Escape room/stairs/floor(depending on Vault spawn) and killing what is needed. Once the Gates have been opened, that person starts hauling bags and killing. The Saw person will collect everything that is in the safety deposit boxes, and then haul the remaining bags with the other 3.


C4 Escape and Airplane Escape are worthless.

Assuming I'm not playing with other people I know?
Bus + Health/Ammo Drop
Saw/Judge (Damage modded), 2x Ammo or 2x Health depending on what we need.

I pretty much always do this stealth loud cause it's not THAT hard loud? The saw makes a lot of the more tedious work in the first half go by a lot smoother imho since you can just get right through the server door and power door. Afterwards we camp around the inside of the vault itself just waiting on the Beast to plow through. And depending on what I brought myself, I'm either going to drop both my meds for my group to heal up while I saw or give them one of my ammo bags, seeing as I really only need maybe 1 whole one + a bit of another for all the boxes.

My way : (Stealth)

Spycam everywhere in the vault part of the map (3cam) >>> You see every guards inside
Inside help : Poisoned cake in the kitchen
Open the parking door on the left

Control first area (Don't use my body bags), kill civilians on the first floor (yes, sad), control the 6 civs on the ground floor in the backroom)

1 card in the bank anywhere, 1card on the manager OR in the safe.

Kill 3guards in the second area, 2 guards left patrolling, 1 in the cam room. (If unlucky, 1guard came from the elevator in the first area)

Then, move the bags (can see every guard with the spy cam, so they never caught me)

[DeflatedPufferfish]

Loud- Bus stop, Timelock glitch, ammo or meds by vault depending on what everyone has. I blow the server room, run up and blow the roof door, and pick open the box. When we get the pc, i rewire the timelock, then go up to the crane. While im doing this, my teamamtes are getting hostages and looking for the keys. Usually the timelock finishes right when the pig drops, so we can go in right away. Wait for the Beast to finish, call the bus, and escape.

Stealth- Elevator trick, poisoned cake in front room. Get the roaming guard and civs down first, ecm the server open, get everyone in the top offices down. If the pc is on the bottom floor, get them down too. Watch the elevators. 1 person stays in the manager's office, 3 people go in the vault area. Kill as many roaming guards as possible, get the vault open, then sneak past the guards and escape.

[BitsOfSkin]

Bus stop, ammobag, mezzanine zipline.
Go loud, head for the roof via zipline ASAP, let the team deal with the server/pc/timelock and keycards and such.
If there aren't enough keycards to hit both doors i tell them to stick together either on the roof or in the kitchen area.
Get spares as they are grabbing bags, and once i've relocated to the mezzanine i either wait out the worst of the assault, or mow a path through the cops towards the drillbits.

[Leap]

Depends on group. If I can get a group of ghosts, then I just do Cake and Elevator trick. We get the one guard, we tie down both offices so we don't have to worry about them. Make sure not to shoot the cams on the timelock wall until the elevators spawn their payload.

Once we get inside it usually kinda falls apart due to tight corners, silent guards, and latency, but at least we usually have enough time on ECM's to get the vault open and get some bags to the elevator before the cops show up.

For loud, we have one guy go straight to the roof and drill the door up there too. We try and find a keycard downstairs. If we get spotted, we just blow the server door and get to work, with one guy guarding the guy at the computers. Once they get it, they move together to the timelock door while I move upstairs with my C4 to blow the other door and restart the timelock. Once crane guy finishes, we all rendezvous by timelock door with Pig Parts. One med bag and one ammo usually by vault spawn (though I adjust accordingly based off of what the crew brings), and Bus Stop for easiest escape. Only bags on table, move them between assault waves (one wave pause is enough for a team of guys with bag skills to move them all).

[Gunsmith Noob]

C4 tunneling, 'cause i hate myself

[Brovah]

Always loud and with Bus Stop, Reduce Timelock Time, and an extra Keycard. I use the keycard on the rewire door and if there's two I'll use both. Usually have one person drop the pig but last time I went up into the crane I fell from all the ladders because the ladders in this game are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Then it's just a matter of getting the drill set up and picking or sawing the locks on all of the deposits open.

Me and my crew like to go full on assault with heavy gear and with as little help as possible. Ode to Greed makes it perfect.

I tried playing around in single player trying to get Ode to Greed playing. Out of 20 restarts, only 2 had it.
