About theGTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist The Big Con

Frankly speaking, the Big Con approach revolves around a special scenario, in which players disguise themselves to gain access to the Casino’s basement and steal the loot. At the end of the heist, players can optionally choose to take advantage of a new disguise to shy away from the guards during the getaway or even fight for an escape.

The Big Con approach is no doubt different from the other aforementioned approaches as this method comes with a unique entry in exchange for maintaining their cover. Once you fail to keep your disguise any longer, you must switch to a more aggressive method!

Note that the Ceramic Pistol will be the secondary weapon by default in all weapon loadouts in the Big Con, making sure that you’ll bypass the metal detectors without a hitch.

Bonus: When using the Bugstars disguise, Lester mentions that he had 'pulled something similar to take down a jewel store.' This references The Jewel Store Job, particularly the Smart approach, thereby making it the canon approach.

GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist The Big Con - Vault

When you and your crewmates succeed in getting your hands on the vault, you have to drill the door locks to open it then get the loot as soon as possible. Try to not trigger the failsafe or you’ll activate the nerve agent in return.

If undetected, you’ll have more time to handle the vault but your crew has to deal with Level 3 security locks to open the doors inside the vault.

Bonus: What is the difference between the Level 1 and Level 2 security passes?

Level 1 is actually useless. In addition, Level 2 cards allow you to enter through all the doors without the need to hack them. With Level 1, you will need to hack doors to get through them. It makes your heist much easier especially if you are doing a silent and sneaky approach.

Soon afterward, you have to get out of the vault as well as the casino. Just try your best to avoid being noticed by the guards and the police as they’re all alerted.

GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist The Big Con - Exit Points

Players are allowed to decide how to exit the casino through one out of the five entry points from the remaining approaches. For instance, if you opt for the helipad or roof terrace exit point, you’ll be on the lookout for Parachutes at these places.

Otherwise, players can choose to enter the laundry room if they’re remaining undetected. The crew can equip themselves with either the NOOSE uniform (in case you’ve had the NOOSE Gear prep completed) or the High Roller set (if you’ve obtained the 54 Playing Cards).

The laundry room is also where the crew can find the main weapons, which are based on specific loadouts. It’s time to escape without drawing attention from the guards.

The outside area is now surrounded by NOOSE and LSPD officers, so the players must avoid them by all means to not only move towards the getaway vehicles but also get rid of the current wanted level.

If all the crewmates cannot remain undetected, they’ll instead have to face off against the police. To complete the Casino Heist, the crew needs to drive to the buyer’s location.

General Prep Works

Hacking Device

Get a FIB-pass from a corrupt agent, enter the FIB building and...
Vault Keycards

---
Patrol Routes

Go to a meeting of the Duggan security guys, eliminate them and search for the right car. Once found, open the trunk, take a photo of the documents and send them to Lester.
Duggan Shipments

Like a freeroam job. You have to destroy 10 shipments of these shipments, spread all over the map. Best use a helicopter for that.
Security Intel

Help poor Vincent, who is now a mall security guy. The Intel will be done in every heist when completed once.
Power Drills

Go to a construction site that is marked and collect either a vehicle with the drills or the drills alone. One person can carry two drills. A disguise is sometimes available.
Security Pass

• Level 1: Acquired from a cleaning woman.
• Level 2: Acquired from a croupier.

We had to crash a drug-party and find the croupier to search him for his pass.

Specific Prep - Silent & Sneaky

Nano Drone
You have to drive round the city and shoot down drones used by the LSPD. Then just collect the dropped parts.
Vault Laser
Go out to the desert, fight some (OP) Army guys and search for the lasers. They look like this:
EMP Device

Go to LSIA and steal a cargobob. Then fly to the university, lift the EMP out (it is right on the open filed) and fly it to the substation of LS Water and Power right across the casino.
Infilitration Suits

Go out to Human Labs and kill the guards in your way (the alarm will trigger as soon as you enter) Bags are in the rear (where you have to par the Insurgent in the Human Labs Heist). Bags look like this:

Specific Prep - The Big Con

Specific Prep - Aggressive

Thermal Charges

Acquire Thermal Charges to blow up vault door. We had to go out to Sandy Shores and crash a Hillbilly party.
Vault Explosives

We had to go out to Paleto Bay and recover the explosive from a sunken airplane, guarded by Merryweather. Grab scuba gear and dive out to find it.
Reinforced Armor

Boring Machine

Third Board - Heist

Your personal weapon arsenal can be collected in either Laundry or Waste Disposal

Silent and Sneaky

Take out the electric stuff with your stun gun
Kill the guards right away, DO NOT STUN THEM! Guards with a helmet can't be killed right away. You can kill them with your knife.
Our way through:

• We went in through waste disposal, disabling the first metal detector, in the area behint it.
• After that we opened up the guard rooms and killed the guards.
• In the elevator bay, there is a button in the middle of the security room, right by the window, that opens the door of a small vault. There is the daily income in there, that you can steal. Press the button, let one guy go in, close the door and wait until he has emptied the vault. The vault can be opened from the inside.

We waited for the elevator guard to pass and opened up the stairs access.

The Big Con

Our settings where:

• Entrance: Security Tunnel
• Entry Disguise: Gruppe Sechs

• Exit: Waste Disposal
• Exit Disguise: Firefighters

Buyer: High Level (is further away, but you get more money)
First: Get into the Gruppe Sechs van and drive to the casino, to the security tunnel. You are being let in and have to drive down the tunnel, where your credentials are being checked and you are able to park the van.
Then, go down to the vault area, proceed through the manhole. To go through, you have to swipe two keycards at the (roughly) same time (time-window is roughly 4 seconds) and then just go down the winding tunnel.
Then you have a short cutscene, one knocks out the guard who opens the door and then you have to start heisting.

Aggressive
