"Gold & Sharke" EASIER Loot Dropoff Point [Stealth only]

Getting all those bags through the ground floor lobby is to hard on stealth? Well, you should use this tactic!

Preparations

What you "could" do in advance:

The following is just a recommendation. It also works without these preparations - however - it will be much easier/faster to secure bags if you kill certain guards in advance:

• Find the roof. In the "lobby" of the large bank vault (where you will find the security room), there are staircases on both sides that lead to the roof if you follow them all the way to the top.
  
• Kill the guard(s) on the roof, IF they spawn on your chosen difficulty level.
  
• Find the garage. The garage is downstairs. In the lobby (ground floor) you will find golden signs which lead you to the garage entrance. Follow the stairs down and you will find it.
  
• Kill the guard(s) which are roaming in the garage. Depending on which difficulty level has been chosen, the number of guards may vary. Not all of them have to be eliminated, only the guard(s) who are/is near this exit:
  
  
  I have tested this method on "Very Hard", so I've encountered 2 guards in the garage basement.
  
• Secure every civilian and take them hostage (or kill them, your choice) in the garage basement. There are 2-3 down there most of the time. You will find them, they are not hard to spot.

What you need to do in advance:

• Get all of the lootbags upstairs to the roof. Collect them near the corner where you will find those blaconies (next screenshot)

Why near this corner in particular?

Well, because there is an invisible wall right of it [out of sight in this screenshot]. You are not able to throw bags from particular sides of the roof down to the street. This side works fine though.

Execution

Lets get to it:

• Throw the bags from the roof down to the garage street.
  
  I recommend using the balconies as a point of reference [marked green] and throw the bags down there:
  
  
  (the red marking shown on the screenshot is where the invisible wall disappears and you are able to throw down bags from there)
  
  
• They will land estimated approximately around here:
  
  
  Yes, there are - sometimes - civilians there. However, they do not spot the bags as something dangerous or intriguing and - much importantly - they won't call the police!
  (As far as I know, maybe - just maybe - the bags are out of sight for them? However, I tested a little bit and they don't really care about them)
  
  
  
• Lastly, secure the bags into the van and escape.

Thank you

Thanks :D

never thought u could just chuck them off the roof tho, nice idea!

[🪴Josh🪴(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡💸]

oh and dont forget to throw a bag at the camera guard and pick it back up for no cameras without leaving casing mode & cam tag vault guard for smooth vault looting

[🪴Josh🪴(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡💸]

another way is get bags to lobby stairs where vault keypad is (no one sees them) & just walk them out the front door one by one...

whole lower lobby is public so guards dont care if u have bag on.

if you have vault in front of you garage access stairs on the right are always best. was doing ^ but guard patterns are bad. from the right hand staircase you can get more bags into the van in one guard rotation.

see my profile for a screenshot of 11 min completion time with trio :)

Elevator access requires an active favor which only drops from heist completion, as for which heist gives you said favor I do not know.

There are other heist-dropped favors that's available on other heists as well

@Ace_D4
Ah thats good to know... (I never use favors though, so that's why I maybe just ignored it)

Thanks for the guide, it actually makes sense to move all bags to the roof. In case you fail stealth - all you have to do is call the chopper, load the bags and leave.
I dropped off all the bags on the roof (didn't kill the guard up there), took a server and moved down to the garage, cleaned up 1 guard and civvies, then decided to drop the money bags. Worked flawlessly, didn't even raise search.

By the way elevator is usable, but you have to use a favor for it.

@Badger
I also hoped that the elevator would work, but couldn't find a way.

@Prinny
Ah, that explained why it didn't work... Good to know. Thanks!

[Prinny]

@Badger, according to the challenges ingame, elevator is supposed to be usable, but doesn't work atm.

Honestly it's easier to do it unmasked anyway so dropping the bags there is just too much effort

Nice! ive been trying to figure out if the elevator in the vault lobby can be used as it says it goes to the garage
