Casino heist walkthrough

Rockstar just released GTA Online's most complex criminal operation: The Diamond Casino Heist. In this sting, players will have to take back the Diamond Casino & Resort from the Duggan family through careful planning, dynamic decision making, and with the help of a variety of characters.

Some of the characters who will help you break into the Diamond's highly-secure vault include: Georgia Cheng, the VP of Cheng Holdings, criminal mastermind Lester Crest, and some of his associates.

How to Prepare For The Diamond Casino Heist

Before starting the actual operation there are tasks that players must complete. The first step is to buy the brand new Arcade Business property. There are six locations players can buy, but they only need one. They range in price from $ million dollars to $ million. Don't sweat about the price though because Rockstar is offering Social Club members who have linked their accounts to Twitch Prime by Sunday, December 8th, Pixel Pete's Arcade Property in Paleto Bay for free. This arcade serves as a front for the operation, so the property needs to be stocked with some games. Once we get all of the information on how players can collect every video game we will release a guide. However, we do know that there are 12 new ones which are:

• Badlands Revenge II
• The Wizard's Ruin
• Race and Chase - Street Legal
• Race and Chase - Crotch Rockets
• Race and Chase - Get Truckin'
• Space Monkey 3: Bananas Gone Bad
• Shiny Wasabi Kitty Claw
• Nazar Speaks Fortune Teller
• The Love Professor
• Defender of the Faith
• Monkey's Paradise
• Penetrator

Once the Arcade is completely stocked, then the real planning is ready to start. Players will be thrown into some open ended missions to gather intel, survey entry points, and investigate security systems which will reward them with more routes and approaches during the big heist. Players need to make sure they take their time during these missions to fully experience every option available in the operation.

The Diamond Casino Heist Begins

After players are done gathering information, they will choose their team, and using Lester's criminal network, they will be able to hire supporting team members. Employing the right driver, gunman, and hacker will be key to a successful heist. Initially, players can choose to approach the operation in three different ways:

• Silent & Sneaky: The team will try to steal the money and pull off the heist without the Duggan family even noticing
• The Big Con: The team fools everyone by parading around the resort as staff members or different contractors
• Aggressive: In true GTA fashion, the team goes into the operation guns blazing to take the vault by force.

Every approach will present players with different choices to complete every step in the mission, and if anything goes wrong players will still be able to finish off the heist by dealing with changing scenarios. Since this is GTA Online's most complex heist, we currently don't have all of the information on every approach or branching decisions players can make quite yet. However, we will have it in a future guide soon, so look out for that!
