Section 122 defines Mode.Heist, a 1-4 player multi-stage co-op mode combining stealth, driving, and fighting in a single mission with branching objectives and original V2 narrative arcs.

Stage Structure#

Each heist is authored as five required stages:

  • Recon stage: open-world stealth observation, photograph targets, plant equipment, and identify guard patterns.
  • Approach stage: drive to the objective and evade detection or overcome a roadblock.
  • Infiltration stage: stealth or breach entry, fight through guards, and use a fighting ruleset per encounter.
  • Extraction stage: drive away with police pursuit from Section 103, crew defending, and Power-Play opportunities from Section 105.
  • Resolution stage: cinematic outcome based on choices.

Roles#

The crew-role model cross-references Section 117.1. Hacker owns stealth plus a hacking minigame and hacking puzzle. Wheelman owns the driving challenge. Muscle owns fighting encounters. Strategist owns planning assists, tags targets, and triggers Power-Play events.

Loot And Consequences#

Successful heists grant a large currency reward, rare cosmetic items, signature vehicle unlocks, and faction influence boost through Sections 22.5 and 99.7. Failure still grants partial payout, but applies a heat-level spike through Section 103.2 and a per-crew-member loyalty hit through Section 117.1.

Branching And Replay#

Every heist has exactly three decisions that change stage sequence or final cinematic. Branches are targetable on replay so completionists can chase every route and cinematic outcome.

Online And Solo#

Online 4-player heist support cross-references Section 92 with per-player role assignment, session host migration, and per-player loot share. Solo heist support fills empty roles with AI crew and pays 75% of co-op rewards.

Signature Events#

Section 83 live service schedules a per-quarter signature heist as a themed limited-time event. The launch rotation covers Casino Heist, Bank Vault, Yacht Heist, Train Robbery, and Stadium Concert Heist, each with a cinematic narrative arc and exclusive cosmetic rewards.
