Vehicles with missiles show a counter with how many missiles are left if their capacity is limited. - Staying stationary or going in the wrong direction in Open Wheel Races makes you non-contact.

and the interaction menu!!! Unconfirmed: The Casino Heist Gold Glitch seems to have been patched. - During Open Wheel races you are now able to change your tire compound (soft/medium/hard) when stationary in the pits by pressing right on the D-Pad or right-arrow key on PC. (Credits Final-Atonement)

FAQ
When will the DLC drop? Soon. Rockstar usually pushes updates around 3:30AM EST or 9:30AM UTC. Check this helpful
map showing all the timezones.
Does the DLC cost money, how can I get the DLC? The DLC will be made automatically available through whatever launchestore you have the game on. Those using the Rockstar Launcher can expect to see their games updated first, so be ready for that.
What can we expect? Judging by Rockstar's announcements and timelines, this DLC won't be massive. They've confirmed new business battles and yacht missions, probably comparable to the previous client jobs we've gotten with the Terrorbyte.
Additionally they've teased some cars, of which we've gotten images of a new
supercar, a
musclecar and an
F-1 car. Some new race modes have been mentioned as well. It's safe to assume that the content will be dripfed in stages, especially the more interesting items might be left for later.
Have the Acura NSX and new Toyota Supra been added? Some images of the
Toyota Supra and
Acura NSX being converted at Benny's have been floating around - these are fake and have been put into circulation by a clickbaity asshole who shall not be named.
Are weekly updates on Tuesdays starting now? Probably not. Rockstar always goes a little off their usual schedule with DLC drops and this is probably the same thing. It's hard to say if the sales will already change this Thursday, but I'd recommend y'all reek the benefits of the sales before you regret it.
What's going to be on sale next? / When will the next sale be up? / What's going to be in the next DLC? If any Rockstar employees are on this sub, we'll let you know.

submitted by I haven't seen a good comprehensive guide for this, despite it being the best money making method in the game, so I thought I'd write a guide about it.
What is the Casino Heist and why should I do it?
The Casino Heist is semi-challenging PvE content for 2-4 players. As of August 2020 it's the
best paying grind in the game, paying out $1.5-$2 million split between heist members every hour and a half. If you're doing setups with one friend, you're both effectively earning ~$80k per setup mission.
If you have no friends who play GTA:O, try to find a buddy in game or on
HeistTeams It's possible to get even higher payouts, but discussing glitches is against the rules of this subreddit; go to
gtaglitches for that stuff.
Getting Started
To do the Casino Heist you need an
Arcade, preferably
Eight-Bit (Vinewood) or
Videogeddon (La Mesa) as they're the closest to the Casino and setup missions.
Not required, but strongly recommended as they'll make setup missions much easier:
- A good gun, such as Special Carbine
- A bulletproof car for gunfights, such as Armored Kuruma
- An aircraft with homing missiles, such as Buzzard Attack Chopper or Oppressor Mk2
Scoping and Vault Contents
All Points of Interest All Access Points Cash has the worst payout (up to $2.1 mil). You will always get cash the first time you host the Casino Heist.
Art has middling payout (up to $2.3 mil) but is very fast to steal, which means you can get detected, or hit the vault with fewer players, and still get the maximum take.
Gold is like cash but gives much better payout (up to $2.6 mil), with the disadvantage of making you run slightly slower when you leave the vault.
Diamonds only appear during special events, but have the highest payout for vault contents (up to $3.6 mil).
Choosing Approaches
The Big Con is the best approach, since the security tunnel entrance + Gruppe Sechs disguise takes you straight to the vault. Always choose it when possible.
Silent & Sneaky is like The Big Con, but is more difficult and takes longer.
Aggressive is relatively fast, but gives less time in the vault, making it much harder to get the maximum take for any target except Art.
In general, you should choose
Aggressive for Art,
The Big Con for other targets, and
Silent & Sneaky only as a last resort. You should also choose
Hard mode whenever possible as it gives you a 25% higher take.
Support Crew
Your
Hacker is the most important support crew member, as they determine how long you have in the vault, and therefore your maximum take. My go-to is
Paige Harris, who you unlock by owning a Terrorbyte.
Avi Schwartzman is equally good and can be unlocked by destroying all Signal Jammers. If you don't have either of them,
Christian Feltz is a decent stopgap measure; just be aware you'll have a good chance of missing out on profits.
The
Driver determines your getaway vehicles, and is largely irrelevant since most people ignore the getaway vehicles and jack a car or a helicopter for their escape. I always go with
Karim Denz and source the
Sentinel Classic. It's only worth getting a more expensive driver if you want to unlock a car's trade price.
The
Gunman determines the weapons you'll be using in the run. Again, mostly irrelevant, since
Karl Abolaji's weapon loadouts are good enough even for a Hard Aggressive approach. Only get a more expensive gunman if you're going Aggressive and aren't confident in your headshotting skills or those of your crew.
Optional Preps
I don't recommend paying to skip any of the preps, because it eats significantly into your profits, and unlike MC/bunker missions, you can't easily make back the cost by doing other missions in that time.
Mandatory for every approach. Remember to get level 2 security passes, not level 1. The mission is very easy and saves you from having to do lots of annoying hacking minigames during the final heist.
This is
mandatory for Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky, as destroying at least 3 shipments will remove the bulletproof helmets from guards and allow them to be headshotted. Most people also do this for Big Con just to be safe. Having at least one other player in your organization, as well as a Buzzard or Oppressor Mk2, makes this mission very easy.
Unlocked after completing all Casino Penthouse missions, this is a once-off mission that reveals security cameras on the radar on all future casino heists. Do it when you unlock it.
Reveals guards on your radar. Not required, but useful on every approach, especially Silent & Sneaky. Do this if you have time.
- EMP (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission is relatively easy and the EMP saves a lot of headaches in a Silent & Sneaky run. Not required, but worth taking the time to do.
- Boring Machine (Aggressive only)
This unlocks the best entry route for the Aggressive approach where you tunnel straight to the vault. Not required (Staff Lobby is almost as fast) but it makes the approach to the vault very easy.
Don't bother with this mission, other than to play through it once or twice for fun. The money from the deposit boxes isn't worth your time.
- Exit Disguise (Big Con only)
These missions are annoying and the disguises aren't that helpful. Collecting all playing cards gives you a permanent exit disguise you can use; I recommend doing that instead and never having to worry about this prep.
- Infiltration Suits (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission gives you night vision. Basically, it's only useful if you plan on using the EMP but don't know the casino floor layout. Do it the first time you do a Silent & Sneaky run; by the second time, you should be experienced enough that you don't need it.
- Reinforced Armor (Aggressive only)
This unlocks new outfits that reduce the damage you take during the heist finale. Personally, I hate this prep, because a) the mission is annoying, b) the finale is easy enough without it, and c) the armored outfits are ugly. Do it if you aren't confident in your shooting skills, or if you plan to do the heist with only two players.
Finale Screen
Buyer: Always choose the High Level buyer for the best payout. The only difference is that you have to drive or fly a few more miles after you lose the cops -- more than worth the extra percentage of the cut.
Decoy: This makes the helicopter getaway slightly easier on the Aggressive approach, or if you screw up either of the other two approaches. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, but it could be worth it if you find yourself constantly having trouble getting to the helicopter.
Clean Vehicle: Completely useless. Don't bother.
The Big Con
Entrance: Security Tunnel
Exit: Staff Lobby
- Go straight to the vault. Take your sweet time plundering it.
- Take the stairs on the way up. You want to take the long corridor looping around the back, pass by the laundry room and pick up your exit disguises if they're there, then make a run for the staff lobby exit.
- You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
- Melee kill the patrolling guards from behind and run through the cameras without staying in their cone of vision for too long.
- Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, melee killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Silent & Sneaky
Entrance: Staff Lobby
Exit: Staff Lobby
- Take your time and have one person go ahead at a time. You want to make sure that you're headshotting guards with your silenced machine pistol, and using the stun gun on all cameras you pass by. If there are two guards next to each other, shoot them both in quick succession.
- You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
- The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
- You can use the Nano Drone in your inventory to shoot a tranquilizer dart. This is most useful on the guard patrolling the stairwell. Have your teammate wedge the door open, then fly the drone through the gap and down the stairs to knock the guard out.
- If you got the EMP, you can use the SecuroServ app on your phone to activate it. This gives you 1 minute to book it and run past all guards, security doors, and cameras on a floor.
- Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Aggressive
Entrance: Sewer or Staff Lobby
Exit: Staff Lobby
- This is a straightforward gunfight. Just move from cover to cover and shoot everything that moves.
- As always, use headshots to get instant kills. Even if you did all Duggan shipments and got an expensive gunman, the guards can take a ridiculous number of bullets to center of mass, so it's faster to aim for the head and take them out instantly.
- The guards respawn continually, so it isn't possible to completely clear a floor out. Just keep moving.
- The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
- When exiting through the staff lobby, don't go straight through the security office or you'll be shot to pieces. Take the long way around instead.
- Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, jump the fence to the racetrack and run straight across. If there are any cars in the parking lot to your left, jack them and drive out. Otherwise, keep going and jump the fence to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
The Getaway
No matter which approach you take, you'll eventually end up outside the casino, on the main road, with a 5 star wanted level. There are two main strategies people use here.
- Sewer Tunnel: Directly south of the racetrack, in the storm drain, is the entrance of the sewer tunnel that Michael and Franklin escape through in story mode. If you drive in here and keep going, you'll eventually start losing your wanted level. Get out of the car and wait in the sewer until you're all clean. From there, it's an easy drive to the buyer -- just don't drive near the casino or you'll be wanted by the cops again. This is a safe but slow getaway.
- Police Station Helicopter: Over the overpass to the west, directly across the highway from the casino, is the Vinewood Hills police station. It's possible to drive to the back of the building and climb from the grass patch up to the roof. There, you can climb the roof fixtures to get to the helipad, where a police helicopter usually spawns. Once everyone is in the helicopter, you can use it to evade the cops. This is a quick but more risky getaway, since the helicopter occasionally doesn't spawn, and you can get shot during the drive or fall off the roof if you're unlucky.
Bugs
Bug: You're in a getaway vehicle far from any cops, but your wanted level won't go away. This happens because one of your heist teammates has high ping and the game is having trouble syncing your wanted levels.
Fix: Have everyone get out of the vehicle and wait until the bug goes away. If you're in a helicopter with no safe place to land, the offending teammate(s) may have to parachute out.
Bug: On Silent & Sneaky, guards take a few moments to spawn in after you disable the metal detector.
Fix: Don't go through the metal detector or shoot anyone until the guards finish spawning in.
- Frozen Guard Patrols / Bugged Camera Movement
Bug: The guards in the casino aren't moving, and the cameras have weird movement patterns or are facing towards walls.
Fix: Just keep going; this bug actually makes Silent & Sneaky / Big Con easier most of the time. If there's a frozen guard you can't get past, use the Nano Drone.
- Disappearing Vision Cones During Getaway
Bug: You're getting away from the casino undetected when the vision cones suddenly disappear from your radar. Despite this, the police aren't coming after you.
Fix: This is a visual glitch and you haven't actually been discovered. Just keep going.
Bug: Someone joins as a spectator, then leaves. You screw up the heist and have to restart. Then you fail the heist because "Your heist team quit."
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
- Silent & Sneaky Body Found
Bug: You're suddenly busted because a body was found... even if you haven't killed anyone yet.
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
- Uncollectable Heist Prep Equipment
Bug: You're doing heist prep mission with a friend, and you can't pick up the equipment because "you can't steal heist prep while on a heist prep mission."
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
- Heist Prep Vehicle Not Registering
Bug: You collect a heist prep vehicle and drive to your arcade, but it doesn't trigger the end of the mission.
Fix: Suck it up and reset.

Hope someone out there finds this guide helpful. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
submitted by If you’ve played the Casino Heist a few times, you might have noticed that the carts with cash, gold or diamonds were in different locations in the vault almost every single time. This gives the player a new challenge every time he enters the vault, because you never know where the carts will be. However, this mechanic becomes quite annoying when you are trying to get the biggest take within the time limit. Therefore, I will be explaining which configurations there are and which routes are the best to use, regarding crews of 2 people.
There are 4 different configurations. These configurations are the same for cash, gold and diamonds. All steps can be used when stealing cash, gold or diamonds. However, the Duplicate step can only be used when stealing gold! (Duplicate step means taking 1 gold bar off the cart and stop grabbing, then going to the next cart, etc.)
The Duplicate step requires the gold duplication glitch which is still working while writing this post (April 2020). Be aware that this glitch could be patched if you’re reading this post in the future!
Sometimes there are asterisks behind brackets. This is to make clear what is meant with the text or letter between brackets:
* = It doesn’t matter if player 1 or 2 does this cart. It’s best to let the player grab this cart who is done first with his previous carts
** = The route is an example of an useful route. However, different useful routes are possible and/or it isn’t that important to use the most optimal route because of the amount of time you have to do that step.
Also, if there is a # before a letter (for example #G), it means the door which must be opened to access that specific cart (in this case cart G).
CONFIGURATION 1
ABC in front of you when entering the vault
E is open
#D must be hacked
Player 1:
Hack #D
Duplicate D
Grab D>E(>C)*
Player 2:
Duplicate ABCE (C>A>E>B)**
Grab B>A(>C)*
CONFIGURATION 2
AB in front of you when entering the vault
G is closed
#G must be hacked
When hacked, H is also accessible
Player 1:
Hack #G
Duplicate H
Grab H>G
Player 2:
Duplicate ABG (A>B and when #G is hacked >G)
Grab B>A
CONFIGURATION 3
ABC in front of you when entering the vault
H is open
This means F is open too
Player 1:
Duplicate F>H
Grab H>F
Player 2:
Duplicate C>A>B
Grab B>A>C
CONFIGURATION 4
AB in front of you when entering the vault
G is open
This means D is open too
#EF must be hacked
Player 1:
Duplicate A>D
Grab D
Hack #EF
Grab E>F
Player 2:
Duplicate B>G
Grab G>B>A
Thank you very much for reading this post, and hopefully this will help you to earn even more money!
