Mission walkthrough

  1. Check the heist prerequisites

    Finish the blueprint, keycard, dam, police-bike and cargo-helicopter preparations. The later casino story progression also matters. If the heist marker is missing, confirm that the physical keycard was collected after Key to Her Heart, not just that the mission passed.

  2. Enter in disguise

    Go into Caligula’s without provoking security. Use the keycard doors to reach the service area and follow the ventilation objective to deploy the tear gas as instructed.

  3. Open the loading entrance

    After the power-cut sequence, activate the night-vision goggles. Use the forklift to raise the roller door so the robbery team can enter.

  4. Lead the team to the vault

    Clear security from the corridors and stay close enough for the crew to follow. Work toward the vault while watching the robbery timer.

  5. Disable the backup power

    When the generators become the next objective, go to their location and destroy them with the supplied explosives. Move clear before detonating, then return to the team.

  6. Protect the money collection

    Enter the safe area and fight the Mafia while the crew loads the cash. Keep enemies away from the team rather than chasing individual gunmen into distant corridors.

  7. Escort the crew to the van

    Lead everyone back along the service route, clearing the way before advancing. Once they leave, take the service elevator for CJ’s decoy escape.

  8. Escape across the roofs

    Follow the rooftop route, collect the parachute and jump toward the escape building. Deploy early enough to control the landing. Use the helicopter if you reach it, then follow the final safehouse marker.

Key point

Stay with the mission’s current stage. Leaving the crew behind to rush for the elevator, or forgetting the backup generators, can stall the robbery even when the route ahead looks clear.

This branch is optional for reaching the story ending, but it is required for 100% game completion.
