On a phone: drag the stick to move, ROB to rob and sell, RUN to sprint, FIRE to shoot at the nearest threat.
The four rules
- The bag holds 20kg. Bearer bonds are worth eighteen thousand a kilo; a coin bag is worth a hundred and twenty-five. What you leave behind is the real decision. Tab opens it.
- Money is for guns. The snub .32 takes six hits to drop anyone and barely reaches. Armories license seven better ones — the licence is the expensive part, replacements are cheap. The three best weapons are not sold at any price: crates only, they are not on any map, and losing one is permanent.
- Robbing happens inside. Walking into a target takes you in. Crack the cases, then leave by a door — the alarm arms when you take the first one, and the police cover the doors one at a time after that.
- Tills pay cash, vaults pay goods. ATMs and registers hold money — it goes straight into your account. The jewelers and the bank pay in merchandise and marked bills, which are worth nothing until a fence launders them.
- Arrest costs you the whole bag, plus a fifth of what you already banked. Cash you already banked is safe; goods in your hands are not.
- Stars only fall while nobody can see you. Being spotted resets the timer to zero rather than pausing it, so a block between you and a cop is worth more than distance.
- Hideouts are safe, both ways. Cops hold a cordon beyond your weapon's reach and cannot shoot or arrest you inside — and you cannot shoot anything still inside that cordon either. Heat falls 4.5× faster in there, but you cannot sell, so cooling off and cashing out pull you to opposite ends of the map.
- One cop seeing you tells the others. Past four stars it goes out to every unit on the map — and a gunshot always does, seen or not.
