Preparation missions

The available heist missions are preparation missions. A final heist is not currently available.

Inside your heist property, stand in the red Missions marker to view missions. Selecting a mission shows its information. The Equipment marker is where you equip items such as the camera for Preparation 2.

The two available missions are listed under Bank Heist: Preparation 1 - Collecting Equipment has no prerequisite; Preparation 2 - Bank Scoping requires Preparation 1.

The Required column shows the mission IDs each team member must complete before playing that preparation mission together.

Preparation Mission 1

Preparation Mission 1 sends you to collect a Mule from Blueberry, Willowfield, Angel Pine, Ocean Flats, or Redsands West Warehouse. All five use the same interior.

The truck carries:

cabinets
furniture
planning equipment for the property

To complete it:

Go to the warehouse.
Enter the loading bay.
Enter the truck with your teammate.
Drive it to the gate and exit the warehouse.
Drive the truck back to the property with its equipment.

Preparation Mission 2

Preparation Mission 2 sends you to the bank to scope out points of interest.

To complete it:

Equip a camera from the equipment marker if you do not already have one.
Go to the bank.
Photograph the main entrance, enter the bank, then scope a security guard, security camera, and door keypad.
After You got what we need., continue scoping or leave the area.

A metal detector is an optional fifth point with no task line of its own. When you scope it, the answer says the metal detectors might be switched off for a short while if the heist is done in disguise.
