General information
The crowbar, much like in Election day day 2 (death wish only as of update), is used to open up crates. Unlike Election day, which has voting machines inside that you need to hack to rig the election, these crates can have up to 1 loot bag in each. You can find money, gold, cocaine and artifacts inside.

Multiple crowbars spawn around the map, see below for known locations (unlikely to be all spawn points, will post more if I find them but you can help by posting below if you find any others!)

All crates are inside the building, excluding the one that can come in the container that is dropped off by the helicopter at around the 5 minute mark (the helicopter doesn't always drop a container off, but it seems the container always has a crate inside with an artifact).
Possible locations
1) In the kitchen on the table. This is close to the vault, adjacent to the locker room on the ground floor.
2) Inside the red container on top of another container out front.
3) Inside the sewers, past the second gate (requiring thermal paste to open) on the rubble. Can be accessed by going down the manhole near the vault
4) In the large warehouse where the vault is on a crate
5) Outside the security room on the first floor
6) Outside the server room on the first floor
7) Past the manhole near the van, go up the ladder in the alleyway and it is leaning on the wall next to the ramp. Be careful, on Death wish a guard is in that alleyway!
8) Near the boat zipline, close to the sometimes-spawning ladder leading to the balcony near the server room.
Finishing up
I hope this makes doing the Shadow Raid heist easier! No more fighting over crowbars :)


I am british, so when I say first floor, I am talking about the floor above the ground floor, not the ground floor itself!

Will be posting more locations as I find them. Let me know if you find any!!!



Thank you to Overkill for making such an awesome game :D

thank you. as someone who has only ever completed Shadow Raid on normal, after the alarm going off, this along with a video by Marcmb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TecWrvAc-Q has been extremely helpful

Thanks, mine has a shitty spawn, right in the kitchen table, so me and my friend have been doing this heist for about 3-4 hours now failing each time, when we get it we get insta detected, feelsbad.

@BakY

It either spawns in the server room or the security room. Only one can spawn and it can only be in one of those two places unless they have changed something
