Stealth Heist Guide

Tips For Stealth Missions

 * Try to avoid killing guards as much as possible unless you have to for the camera/keycard. You can only kill a maximum of 4 guards as you can only answer 4 pagers in a heist (Exception is Nightclub as Nightclub Thugs do not carry pagers. They instead, respawn after killed.)


 * You want mostly to grab skills that are in the ghost tree involving stealth. Such as reduced cleaner cost, lock picking, stamina skills, etc. Drills, bagging and hostage skills are also quite useful.


 * Silenced Weapons are highly recommended if the mission requires killing.


 * If you have the Chameleon skill Aced, try scouting out the area in casing mode to find a keycard if needed. You can also grab loose cash without masking up.


 * Have a minimum of detection risk (3-5). Weapons such as the P90, G17,Tomahawk and Knife have really high concealment points.


 * Don't bring armor. It increases your detection risk and decreases your overall speed.


 * Bring an ECM or Body Bags for your equipment. Only bring ammo bags when you are using a saw and have teammates to back you up.


 * Don't leave loot bags or body bags in the open. Guards will get suspicious whenever they see one and will be alerted if they see it long enough.
 * To hostage a civilian, press F to shout at them when they have a ! mark on their head. However, to hostage guards, you will need the "Halt!" skill ( located in tier 3 of Mastermind )


 * Don't leave any hostages out in the open. Guards will also get suspicious and alerted by their presence.


 * Don't fire a weapon without a silencer. Everyone will hear it.


 * Don't break glass. Guards and civilians will be suspicious if they notice broken glass.


 * If you do missions that require drilling (except Brick Bank), clear out the area before drilling the vault.


 * Make sure before drilling a vault to ask for other players if they have drill skills.


 * If you play on a map with deposit boxes, bring a saw. It is recommended to have the Oppressor skill, so you can easily get extra cash without taking too much time. However, it will increase your detection risk, so be careful while getting inside the vault.


 * Do not kill civilians unless you are out of cable ties.


 * It is highly recommended to ace the Sixth Sense skill to reduce cleaner cost whenever you kill a civilian


 * If you don't have any silenced guns, use melee weapons.


 * Make sure you have a competent team of people.


 * Prioritize disabling the cameras before doing anything else.


 * If you just went infamous and want to do a stealth mission, either try playing it with other players or save it for later since it is much easier to do stealth with people that have skill points.


 * Remember to always cable tie the civilians or else the civilians will attempt to get up and call the police. (after approximately 1 minute)


 * Touching the guards while in casing mode or otherwise will alert them.
