Off Season

Scout the approach

Before anything starts, drive the keys 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.

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 bike stashed two streets over within reach of wherever you come out.

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.

Complete the job

This is the part the mission is named for. Do it quickly; the difficulty scales with how long you stand still.

Check side rooms before you leave. Two minutes here is worth more than two minutes anywhere else in the run.

Get out and lose the tail

Leave the way you planned, not the way that looks fastest. Head for the storm drain and break line of sight before you slow down.

Water and tunnels both reset pursuit faster than open road.
