Bank Heist levers - impossible to finish??
It must be something I'm doing or I'd see other threads on this. I'm at the Bank Heist, at the end where you (presumably) need to have both timed levers pulled to unlock the door to the treasure.

I've tried this dozens of times now, and I'm not sure how to do it in the time frame I'm given. I understand I can't walk on the 'blue' tiles in the center seperating the switches because that resets them. I have tried running around the back and (mostly) running through the air duct under the stairs between the levers.

I pull the lever,
turn and swoop towards the grate,
open the grate and enter air duct,
start a swoop and mash e to open the exit grate,
round the courner and swoop into the 2nd lever under the camera.

I seem to be a second or so late everytime.

I'm refering to the Client Job: The Bank Heist (I believe it is pre-order or deluxe edition DLC)

bump! hoping I dont have to skip this when its 98% done.

SPOILER: Perhaps you've already figured this out but you have to jump up on the ledge above avoiding the dark squares that reset the switches. The ledges are on the outer side of the both levers. Hopefully this helps or you were able to get past it.

If you have the wirecutters the box for the traps is inside the airduct under the stairs. This way you can just run across the blue tiles.

Cheers, thanks guys. The wirecutters were unavailable for purchase (I left the mission to check) but they aren't needed anyway. As Hardwire pointed out, the puzzle just isn't very intuitive. You are only required to pull one of the two levers

I pulled both, using swoop to move between the two. Worked fine.

I just pulled one, jumped up to the ledge and then jumped down from the other ledge and quicly pulled the other lever, it's VERY doable

Just in case someone stumbles onto this topic - this is impossible to do through the vent somehow, you have to climb on the sides of the levers to get to the other lever via the second floor.
Dimwitted game design on this specific puzzle, as there are no cues indicating you that you are doing things wrong.
