Pacific Standard

Contract job

The biggest bank in town. One contract, three setups, some thermite, and a crew that holds the lobby. The score of a lifetime, once every 4 h.

The contract#

It all goes through the Planner, in the Contracts app. The leader buys the contract ($25,000, bank or cash, level 25): that gives you 2 h to prep and hit. The Planner also sells thermite, $5,000 a charge, 3 on you at most, and only to whoever holds a contract.

The setups#

Each one can be earned through a mission or bought outright. All optional, all useful, and your online crew sees the mission with you. One mission at a time, 15 min to pull it off, 10 min between two.

SetupThe missionOr payWhat it changes
PlansUndercover scouting: walk in with no weapon out and no mask, photograph 5 spots in the lobby without spooking the manager.$30,000Cops 60 s later
Hacking deviceA courier on a bike heads for his drop: knock him off before he gets there, grab the case. Spot you and he floors it.$50,000Vault open in 30 s, no noise
Dirty copPhotograph a cop meeting a dealer, from a distance. Too close and they come for you.$60,000Cops 90 s later

The plan#

  1. Before you start3 crew inside the bank, henchmen included, with at least 1 real player. And the gear on you: 2 thermite charges (3 without the card), plus the device or a drill. Otherwise nothing kicks off.
  2. The lobbyHold the manager at gunpoint: he drops his card, which you swipe at the staff door reader. Silent alarm (150 s before the cops, plus your setups). No card? Thermite on the door: alarm, ★★★★★, cops in 60 s.
  3. Hold the crowdAn armed crew member staying in the lobby slows the cops down: the timer runs at 50% speed. A henchman posted there, 67%.
  4. The vaultDevice on the panel, 30 s, quiet. Or the drill, 60 s, and the alarm screams: the cops are 60 s out at most.
  5. The gatesThermite on each of the 2 gates, 10 s burn. Step back.
  6. Clean it outCash trolleys, one gold trolley, 10 deposit boxes to drill. Gold is heavy: whoever carries it can't run.
  7. Cash in600 m from the bank, cops lost. Split with the heist crew. The cameras caught everyone: ★★★★★ when the cops arrive.

A robbed bank stays closed for 2 h. The whole server gets the alert: expect company. Anyone still hanging around after the cops arrive gets their stars topped up every 30 s. Every participant then gets a job report in the My record app (your record).

The contract burns the moment the heist starts, success or failure, along with all its setups. And every player who went into the bank waits 4 h before touching it again.

The hacking device from the setups has nothing to do with the one sold in convenience stores, which opens locked cars: this one only comes from the Planner.
