Civilians are usually harmless NPCs that spawn on almost every heist. Killing civilians will add a fee when the heist is completed successfully. The fee can be decreased by having the Ghost skill Sixth Sense aced. They can be taken hostage by being alerted and then the player shouting at them, or if the player has the Mastermind skill Intimidator aced, by shooting nearby. If they detect any criminal or suspicious activity, they will call the police, raising the alarm. An ECM Jammer can be used to temporarily stop civilians from being able to call the police. On some maps, certain civilians carry keycards. Certain civilians can notice you in casing mode in a restricted area. While detecting players, civilians will turn their head up to 90 degrees following the player. Civilians can wield a Deagle if the concealed carry Mutator is enabled. Civilians carry a weapon as a result of the mutator can be killed without any cleaning cost being added. Cleaning cost for civilians is increased per difficulty, starting at $5,000 on Normal and $180,000 on Nightmare (for more information on cleaning costs, see the Difficulties page).
