Jewelry Store logic

[V.4.7™]

Did a solo stealth on jewelry store deathwish today.
Throw a bag full of jewelry loot on van got $5000.
Pick ONE necklace from display got $15000.
...great logic. xD

You sacrifice most of the bagged loot to the bag gods.

I think the logic is supposed to be that Vlad gets 8 bags as his cut and you keep the rest.

Erm, I think it is like this:

The contractor wants you to grab X bags of loot. You get a pittance for those bags, that's the contract payment.
If you manage to get one bag above the needed amount, it will be worth the usual DW multiplier.
(We had the "luck" until now, we got one bag more than needed on DW)

So, in essence, that pitiful 5k or what it is per bag is a bonus, nothing more.
The contract payment is the reward (even if that's a tad low, too)

At least that's how we count it, because otherwise it really would't make sense.

Also wrong - it's bag-type value. On Very Hard and higher, the first eight bags are mission bags, only worth a fraction but required to finish the job. (Basically the addional value is lost due various costs or to the contractor). Now if you get addional bags of jewelery... on Death Wish, that thing is worth about 105k, if I am not mistaken.

because thats your cut of the jewelry bag as soon bain got the required amount of loot then u get full value for extra bags :P same goes for hector in watchdogs/rats 4bags on watchdog will give you about 5k each but additional bags will get you more money :P

edit: bindal is faster typer then me :P

From what i count it is only 9 bags on deathwish. I never find more than 9.
Does this mean we can only got one bag of 105k?

As far as I have experienced it, yes.
The last bag seemed to be always in one of the safes for us - Often, we got the extra bag ut of the safe (two jewelry "displays" in there)
This happened everytime for us, Don't know the exact number, but I think we did it around 10 times now.

Exactly. From what I can tell, only Normal and Hard can grant you more than one addional bag while from Very Hard onward, you only get 9 total (eight to nine on VH and OK, nine garantueed on DW)

So that's why those bag give us less $ than on ukrainian job. Disappointing. :(

[Bindal]

It's the same as with every other job that has mission bags. Never noticed how the first four bags in Watchdogs are worth nothing? Or most bags in Diamond Store?
Mission bags only seem to appear when there is one specific type of bag you need to finish (usually the jewelery), unlike for example Shadow Raid or Bank Heist, where any bag will do (and hence are at full value) even if a minimum is required

Never, everytime i play i'm enjoying the heist too much it even distract me from looking how much dollars we get. The only thing i notice is what i get at the end of the day.
