The Bank Robbery

Beginning the Bank Robbery

To begin the Bank Robbery you will need all the members who have joined to be in the bank's 'pre-vault' room, this is the room next that you can see the door of the vault. Once everyone is inside this room, you can walk up to the vault door, look at it directly, and left click the Vault Cracker in your inventory, then a progress bar will appear. If someone is not in the 'pre-vault' room when you place the drill, they will not be in the Bank Robbery and thus not allowed to assist in any way.

Opening the vault

On the side of the drill, there will be a timer, this represents the time until the vault door will be opened. Occasionally the drill will get jammed, if it does jam, a member of the crew will need to left click the drill to unjam it.

You will need to protect the drill from the Police, if all members stay in the pre-vault room this will delay the time until Police get alerted of the Bank Robbery, this is advised if you are not experienced at combat. When the alarm does go off, you will need to take positions to defend the Bank, one person should always stay in the pre-vault room due to protect the drill and unjam it.

A few advised positions to hold are ; - Outside the coffee shop - Roof of City Garage - Regals Overpass - The Office roof (if accessible) - Taxi Station - Roof of Bank

Collecting the cash

Once the vault opens, you will need to collect the cash. To do this, spam E on the table which has cash inside and it will get loaded into your inventory. If someone dies with the cash, it will be unretrievable so make a careful decision as to who collects it. Alternatively you can get a variety of people to grab a certain amount of cash each.
