Scout the approach
Before anything starts, drive the container yard and look at the exits rather than the entrance. Most of the difficulty here is the leaving, not the arriving.
Park somewhere you can reach on foot in under thirty seconds, and leave the engine running if the game lets you.
Objectives
- Find a parking spot with two exits
- Check the patrol route
- Stash a second vehicle nearby
Tips
- Go at night — fewer pedestrians means fewer witnesses.
- Anything you leave behind is evidence, including the car.
Get inside clean
Take the side approach rather than the front. Going in loud works, but it starts the timer early and the timer is the whole mission.
Keep a jet-ski in the channel within reach of wherever you come out.
Objectives
- Reach the interior undetected
- Deal with the first obstacle quietly
- Keep the exit route clear
Do not engage before you are inside. The alarm window is far shorter than it looks, and everything after this step assumes you still have it.
Take the score
The primary is where you expect it. The money is in what you pick up on the way out — most runs leave a third of the take behind because people head straight for the door.
Check side rooms before you leave. Two minutes here is worth more than two minutes anywhere else in the run.
Objectives
- Secure the primary target
- Sweep the side rooms for secondary loot
- Regroup before the exit
Get out and lose the tail
Leave the way you planned, not the way that looks fastest. Head for the marina and break line of sight before you slow down.
Water and tunnels both reset pursuit faster than open road.
Objectives
- Reach your vehicle
- Break line of sight
- Lose the pursuit
Tips
- Swapping vehicles once is usually enough.
- Do not go home while anything is still following you.
Afterwards
Cooldown runs a couple of in-game hours before this can be attempted again. Confirmed timings land here once the community has them.
