Casino Heist Hard Mode

  • Having different approaches to the new casino heist is one of the major new features added to GTA Online via the DLC. One of the three approaches is called The Big Con approach (the others being the Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky approaches). As the name suggests, you con your way into and out of the casino using various disguises.
  • Full gold take rn is 3.2 mil, gold minus one cart is 2.8mil. Add the 10% hard mode bonus to that and you get 3.08mil. You get slightly more doing it on normal but you have to cycle through all approaches, be really optimized in your vault route, and do Aggressive full take with Artwork in order for it to be more profitable.

This guide is a complete walkthrough of the Aggressive approach to the Diamond Casino Heist. Our Big Con approach guide is here and our Silent & Sneaky guide is here.Make sure you also check out how to unlock the elite hacker Avi Schwartzman for more time in the vault, our payout/take guide, and also the POI and access point guide.

How can I cancel the heist and change the vault content ?

Once the three approaches are completed, you will be able to unlock the ability to call Lester and cancel the heist (you will lose the $ 25,000 in initial costs). After cancelling the heist you'll be able to restart the mission to scope the vault content.

The gold and the artwork.

You only need two players to collect all the artwork (using Paige or Avi as your hacker). Each item takes only 20 seconds to be collected.

You need 25 seconds to clear each cart containing gold. To collect all the gold carts you'll need at least 3 players. Using only 2 players will allow you to collect 7 out of the 8 carts.

During the heist you can also grab some extra cash from the secret vault, which is on the ground floor right next to the elevator.

The switch to open up the secret vault door is in the CCTV room next to the elevator.

You can expect somewhere between $20,000 to $100,000 to be in there. It will vary from heist to heist though.

Diamond Casino Heist Hard Mode

The Gruppe Sechs gear. You will get direct access to the vault.

Increased security, and doors harder to hack

The amount to loot will also be increased.

Here are the optionnal prep missions we recommend you do:

  • Exit disguise mission for the Big Con and Agressive approaches.
  • Get security pass level 2
  • If you do the Aggressive or Silent & Sneaky approach, always do the Duggan shipments mission.
  • The patrol routes for Silent & Sneaky
  • The power drills for the deposit boxes. only if you are more than 2 players

What is the difference between the Level 1 and Level 2 security pass?

Level 1 cards are actually useless compared to level 2 cards.With a level 1 card, you'll need to hack each door that has a keypad.

Level 2 cards allow you to enter through all the doors without the need to hack them, you just need to swipe the card. It makes your heist much easier especially if you are doing the Silent & Sneaky approach.

To unlock this prep mission you need to take a picture of the security tunnel of the Casino. It is right beside the racetrack.

How can I get the Sewer Tunnel as the entrance option?

During the Casino scoping mission you'll find the Sewer gate in the Sewer Tunnel. It is right across the street from the casino.

Do I need to buy the penthouse to carry out the Diamond Casino Heist?

Gta Casino Heist Hard Mode

No, you do not need the penthouse to carry out the Casino Heist, however some points of interest require you to have a VIP membership in order to access them, such as the Vault Blueprint in Agatha Baker's office.
