Escape Missions - What causes them?

[Danger Biscuit]

I have to say, I'm quite confused as to what actually triggers an escape mission. I would guess it has something to do with the general level of mayhem you've caused, but I can't find anything in the guides section. Please help.

For the most part, Escape missions come randomly. If the heist goes loud and bullets are flying, then most heists have a chance of an escape afterwards, and in most cases it's one of two escapes for a heist. I.E., four stores might have a Park Escape or a Cafe Escape, while Rats will have either a Garage or Overpass escape. Also, most single day heists that can have an escape also have the "Expert Driver" asset available, which drastically lowers or eliminates the chance of an escape.

Also, Rats blow guarantee an escape more or less.

Not guaranteed, just a high chance. I've finished day 1 without escapes plenty of times.

Doing bad in missions, ie failing to do what you were suppose to do to begin with will give a higher chance of escape. You can still get an escape if you do everything great, but more often than not if you screw up you will have an escape.

Thank you people of the internet!

Leaving in the middle of an assault wave increases the chance of an escape.

Aslo thank you.

It's also by the fact that you escape with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ van and get purchased by cops

leaving the mission during a police assault and/or shooting civilians will greatly increase the chance of an escape mission happening.

They're random, I had some while I left just as stealth ended. I don't really know what was I escaping FROM since the cops wouldn't even have made it there in the next 30 seconds, but whatever.

Finishing the job/or just a day during an assault

Seems to just be a percentage chance which changes when in or out of an assault, I'm guessing.
