Plan of Action
This heist is incredibly quick both stealth and loud. First, unlock the main entrance door and sprint to the VIP area. Grab the keycard and swipe the keycard right immediately after grabbing it. Hack the guard’s radio that will cuff you. sometimes if you’re semi-unlucky the other guard will cuff you and you will be arrested. That’s where Slippery comes in. Hold your crouch button and pray the guards don’t notice you. Now that you’re in the VIP area, swipe the door to your right and open the vent to make it to the accountant’s office with the side railings on the walls. Also, that room with the all of the switches you just unlocked will come into play later in the guide. You do not need the red keycard at all for this heist either. Unlock the accountant’s door and go down stairs. The first flight of stairs is a vent to the left, open it and, if you’re lucky, the crypto wallet will be there. If it’s the vault or the camera guy, ignore them (unless you don’t trust yourself with cameras, then take out the guard). Since the crypto wallet isn’t there, unlock the door and make a U-turn around the shelves so the camera there doesn’t see you walk through the hallway. After unlocking another door, make another U-turn to the right and enter the restroom, open the vault at the corner of the room. The crypto wallet usually spawns there. If the crypto wallet doesn’t spawn under the stairs or next to the restroom, you’re going to have to make a semi-risky passage to the other side of the VIP room. After unlocking the door out of there, take a right and notice some stair going up. Go up the stairs, and keep going straight until you meet the railing. Vault it and land the wall railing to the other side of the room. Keep following the wall railings if you’re doing a stealth run to open up the vent for your escape, if not, then just jump down to the path. Now that you’ve made to the other side, the first door to your right is another room with a vent that you need to go through. Now you have finally found the crypto wallet. As soon as you enter the crypto room, there is a whiteboard to the right. On the white board shows a letter with a number sequence and a color. You do not need to memorize the number sequence, only the the letter and the number.
Acquiring the Crypto Wallet
Once you have memorized the letter and the color, start saying the letter and first letter of the color repeatedly to get it in your head. For example, if the switch is D250 Blue, say “DB Daylight” over and over again. Another example is: A560 White, say “Awwwwww” over and over again. Now retrace your steps until you make it to the wall railings. go back to the room with the switches and flip the correct switch you memorized. Once that’s done, head on over the accountant’s office again and reset the power of the crypto wallet’s door from the computer. Now that it’s done hacking, run to the crypto wallet and bag it. Congrats you now have crypto wallet in less than 2-3 minutes.
Finishing the Heist & Conclusion
Secure the crypto wallet in one of the secure points that will spawn to the left or the right of the VIP room. If you’re going stealth, be careful to not let guards see you and make to the door on the other side of the switch room. If you’re going loud, it’ll cost you another 45 seconds before finishing the heist. Just run past he civs after securing the wallet and run to the main disco room upstairs. Shoot the skylight glass for the chopper to come in. Since you have the crypto wallet, you don’t have to assemble the cage. If you want a little extra loot, head to the 2nd floor with the 2 small VIP rooms and bag the 2 paintings in each of the rooms for a extra 150k-220k~ cash for all paintings. Give the paintings to Wolf, Dallas, Chains, or Hoxton so that when you leave, it’ll count the bags as secured. Right after securing the second VIP room of its paintings, the chopper should arrive with your escape. You will be rewarded with a nice 1.4k-1.5k weapon XP for both stealth and loud. All of that within 3-5 minutes depending on how good you are at games.
