Black Friday

"A mall job"

- Revamp description "We've been asked to retrieve pieces of a package belonging to a contractor. It's a busy night, so no sneaking this one."

- Current description

Overview
Black Friday, officially the Parkview Mall, is a loud - only heist released on November 2018. The aim of the mission is to retrieve 3 "pieces" scattered around a mall during Black Friday, left behind after a supposed previous mission that went wrong. The pieces can be found in a variety of different shops, and the locations of the pieces changes with every heist.

The metal detector will detect you as soon as the heist starts. Depending on where the pieces are located, a number of loot bags can be retrieved, but will not always be possible.

Walkthrough
The heist will begin with players outside the mall by the extraction van. Stealth is impossible, as metal detectors will go off within 10 seconds of the heist beginning. Citizens will not be present during this heist, and a number of guards will be monitoring the hallways and shops. A narrative will appear with a locator, telling you which shop to loot first. This may be any shop with a name above it, so retrieving the "pieces" will be different every time you redo the heist.

Some shops, such as the Roblox Shop and Shoes A Plenty require you to open a back room. Sometimes, the piece will be found on top of a shelf, whereas other times you may be required to open a small safe with a drill.

Other shops, such as Fine China and Smiths Clothing, will usually take the longest. Stores such as these require you to search through the items in the shop, much the same way that the lockers need to be checked for the code in the Golden Mask Casino map. If you are unlucky, this can take some time.

Shop Walkthroughs
There are many stores in this heist. As such, some players may not know how to approach each store. Here are the different walkthroughs:

Jewelry Store - Vincetti & Bloxxo
In this store, you will need to find a ring in a blue box. Once you secured the ring (the "piece"), you may choose to proceed to the other store(s), escape (if that is the last store) or secure the rest of the jewelry.

Roblox Store
In this store, the player(s) are required to go into the back room of the store and drill into a safe. There are also phones you can take at the left side of the store once you enter. Once the safe is opened, the player will need to grab the piece. You can then choose to escape, take the money stack, or simply go for the next store.

Smiths Clothing
The player(s) will need to check each item of clothing in the store and look for the piece. This can be time consuming, as there are many items of clothing that need to be checked, similarly to the Fine China store and Roblox Toys store.

Storage Room
The player(s) will need to go into the storage room located on the ground floor, and they will need to drill 2 gates. When the drills are done, search through the crates behind the metal bars. Once the player(s) has found the piece, they can bag up the money stacks in both cages and proceed to escape or loot the next store.

Fine China
Similarly to Smiths Clothing and Roblox toys, player(s) will have to search through the vases in the store in order to find the piece. No baggage loot is provided in this store, but you may loot the cash till.

Shoes A Plenty
The player(s) will be required to go into the back room of the store, similar to Roblox store. However, the piece will be available as soon as you enter. A stack of cash will also be provided for players to bag up.

Roblox Toys
Similar to Smiths Clothing and Fine China stores, the player(s) will have to find the piece by searching every toy boxes until they find the one containing the piece. The tills can also be opened for extra cash.

Tips

 * Placing sentry guns at all entrances will allow you to freely roam the mall without worrying about taking damage from police. When set to Armour Piercing, or AP rounds, these sentries will deal with police on lower difficulties without allowing them to enter the mall. However, there will be armed guards present at the beginning of the heist so make sure to shoot them down too.
 * If the Jewelry Store is not accessible or included in a heist, the player will not be required to loot the cash tills in order to get the "Four More Stores" badge. If the Jewelry Store is included in the heist, you will be expected to loot the tills. However, for the "No Witnesses" badge, the player will be required to shoot any cameras which are present in the map, even if some of the shops (e.g jewelry store) is inaccessible. The camera(s) in the jewelry store can be shot down by standing at the Coffee Shop balcony, if the store is not open.
 * Cloakers can camp in many areas in the map, such as the door at the sides of the mall on the second floor, or the storage rooms.

Trivia

 * The name 'Black Friday' is used to describe a day after Thanksgiving in the United States where stores open up early and offer various sales which is known to attract huge crowds of people to purchase en-mass.
 * Despite being called 'Black Friday', there are no civilian NPCs and only guards are present during the heist.
 * The Jewelry Store is owned by a group called 'Vincetti & Bloxxo' whom also owned another store in the heist, Diamond Store.
 * If the game selects Jewelry Store for the piece's location, Jade would mention Diamond Store and how her gang 'run the group out' during the heist.
 * Despite the game saying "A metal detector exposed your crew" within 10 seconds or a player entering the store, there are no metal detectors visible.

Bugs

 * In the "Roblox Store", if you try to pick lock the safe with the nimble skill aced, the safe will not open and you still cannot drill it causing the player(s) to restart the heist.
 * In the "Roblox Store", enemies can stop the drill through the wall.
 * In the "Jewelry Store", if you place a shaped charge on the door it will not explode, nor can the door be picked or sawed open, as the door is bugged. The player(s) will then need to restart the heist. Thus bringing Trip Mines is only useful for ATM's. Other than that, it is not recommended if any other doors could be bugged as well.
