How is the Casino heist difficulty wise?

[Formous]

I tend to run heists with 2 people tops, myself and a friend, since our careful approach has routinely proven more effective then the average yokel we meet online.

I was curious, but can anyone tell me about the overall difficulty of this heist? Of each approach, and what I can expect in each one?

The easiest is the big con with the gruppe sechs entry combined with the noose exit, the hardest is stealth since randoms will duck it up 99% of the time.
Agressive approach range from really hard to easy depending on how many duggan shipments you destroy during the optionnal mission of the same name.

tl;dr : big con>agressive>stealth.

If you do most of the setups the heist is easier than Pac Standard.

Stealth feels the most rewarding if you can pull it off. Escaping the casino is easy if you do the EMP setup mission and use it when exiting the mantrap. Not difficult imo but with randoms it’s a dice roll. Stun cameras, coordinate your headshots, and it should be a breeze.

Aggressive is straightforward with no hacking inside the vault which is nice.
Sewer entry and never use the main exit. Guns blazing approach but you will lose money from getting shot.

G6 approach in Big Con is the only one that feels ‘con’ style. The other two require sneaking around with unsuppressed weapons which suck. G6 you walk right into the vault. Exit with NOOSE outfits and the most you’ll have to do is just knock out one or two people max.

I... have a question for you guys, I play this on console and the first 2 times I used Chester Mccoy as my driver so i could unlock the trade prices on his vehicles. The third time however, it says hes locked with the vague information: "Meet this support crew member as the owner of a Bunker or Arena Workshop" (I own both). I don't know what to do, is it a cooldown? and how long is it?

do another post instead ffs

Well don't stress yourself too much, if you gotta go loud choose the shotgun loadout and use a fast and heavily armed aircraft to decimate their ability to fight back in the Duggan Shipments optional setup. The only thing you have to worry about then is NOOSE which will be more heavily armed so prepare to fight your way like a savage towards the getaway vehicles.

If you exit via the back (Staff door) you only need to kill 2 NOOSE max on the horse track and then you can just run to the cars or steal one off the street if your driver RNG is bad and placed your cars in a bad spot.

The 2 times I've done it my cars (both from Chester) were out by the Casino's front by the Bus Stops.

I did duggan shipment but i was unable to destroy 2 of them due to time ran out. How will this affect the mission?.

I did this in solo though.


I would like to do aggressive for reason anytime i play GTAO i die within two or four shots even with armor. I seen people who does not ever die a lot than i do.

It's very hard in my opinion, especially those stealth parts where you have to match or memorize multiple different parts.

Well my first time I only got 5 and the guards had Plate Carrier vests and low grade automatic weapons, Sweeper Shotgun, SMG etc. The Second run I got all 10 and the guards were stripped down to their uniforms and armed with only Micro SMGs and Pistols. I did a heist with someone else as leader and it looked like they didn't do the setup at all cuz The guards had full gear (Plate carriers, helmets etc.) and had high grade weapons like Carbines and Assault Shotguns, and worse is, they were not stunned or knocked down by being hit with bullets or even when Hit over the head with a Weapon! So like I said, use a B-11 and for something thats hard to hit with missiles like the boats, use le BRRRRT Cannon. (Oppressor is not fast enough btw)

I have joined a couple different con heists using Gruppe and we walked right in and walked right out. The alarm still sounds on building exit, but they dont know its you unless you get in their cone. Ran through the race track to get away cars, and never fired a shot or was shot at. Fastest 300K as associate in the game now.

effects of the duggan shipments preparation on the heist

lvl 2 guards = vest with smg - destroy 7 shipments

lvl 3 guards = helm + helm + good weapons - destroy less than 7 shipments

Yeah that seems about right
