[@Jacket...]

Something else kinda funny i found on 99 boxes is that the camera operators room isnt actually locked by the keycard scanner and you can just open the door and walk in

[@Pannox]

yea I've found out about it yesterday, but I'm sure is gonna be patched in the upcoming update on the 5th Oct

[@TheGreyShaman]

Wait what?!?

[@domidoo1753]

yeah 99 boxes has roughly 99 glitches in it, im sure they will go through and fix them all in the next update, but theres still a lot broken with the heist. like you said camera room isnt locked, and then theres the inf xp glitch, also the heavy guard on overkill cant detect broken cameras or loot bags and has a hard time detecting dead bodies. if you run into the back of a containers at the right angle you can partially clip your head inside and bag the loot without having to open them, one container door on the east side can be shot open using a shotgun, one of the guards on hard/very hard can see through walls if hes close enough. theres more id rather not say but thats a few just so you can get an idea of how scuffed that one mission is

[@seanthaiguy8917]

I was never one to exploit and gain advantage, but since this isn't really a PvP and with the launch it had , I think we deserve this much at least 😅 the weapon xp was a grind to much

[@whoisAPT38]

[@_azariah1]

Best tip I have is on Gold and Sharke, if you are offered the Elevator favor, just always take it. It opens up the elevator in the vault room and you can drop bags all the way into the garage, which is a lifesaver in stealth clears.

[@clunt5852]

I got it once but I've never had the option afterwards tho

[@LennySKX]

you need to buy favors, there are at the very bottom of the weapon dealer! @@clunt5852

[@mentalstoner420]

​@clunt5852 same I'm scared to use it for that reason 😂 I watched a KZbin video where he was using it and half way thru the heist he got a matchmaking error and had to restart and lost the favor 😂😬😬 I want to save it where I'm comfortable doing it on overkill or something I just don't know if I'll get another one

[@Zeysway]

is it random? I did Gold and sharke so many times and couldn't use the elevator

[@mentalstoner420]

@@Zeysway no its a favor you know how you can buy ammo packs ziplines med packs etc. Well idk when but you get a one time use favor that allows you to get into the elevator. They give you 1 favor for every map. I haven't used any of them because I don't want to lose it.

[@maylowmick4168]

For "No rest for the wicked", if you manage to get the security room card while unmasked, for some reason, the room isn't considered "secure area". Doesn't seems like much, but if you manage to get apotted by that guard, once he bring you back to a public area, it somehow permanently make all cameras deactivated even if he's still alive. It's one way to avoid a pager while not having the cameras disturb you for the rest of the heist.

[@prestigeicathius4660]

I've successfully stealth Touch the Sky multiple times and could never find that last loot item! Never thought to check right on that corner! Also one thing I learned from this heist thankfully rather quickly is that you can throw your bags in the vent and carry them all out that way by going through how you initially entered bypassing the downstairs area all together. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who hasn't figured this out yet but hey, that's a neat little trick to do to avoid screwing up.

[@Pannox]

Ye do it all the times on stealth, it makes it much easier

[@vinegar4556]

On Road Rage, if you open up the gate by the construction site before the van starts moving, it will go through that path instead and you won't have to deal with any forklifts or gaps in the road. Edit: Upon further testing, I actually think which path the truck takes is random. My apologies if this comment came off as misleading.

[@joekane622]

On the other hand if you leave the gate closed swat can't climb over it and that area becomes an amazing hold out spot while the drill works

[@hanyolo2041]

​@@joekane622...the whole 30 seconds .

[@garrukablaze]

It's actually random. The truck picks a path based on a coin flip. So you should open both paths

[@joekane622]

@@garrukablaze nope the truck follows you so you lead it left or right and it's easier imo to hold out for an entire assault wave before looting the van midway, so yeah the safe place to hold out is important but idk maybe I'm just old and bad at the game

[@garrukablaze]

@@joekane622 repeating yourself isn't going to make it true? The truck is random and it will pick a random side. If you restart the mission it's going to be the same, sure. Restarting the mission at all stays the same. The truck is a random chance to go left or right. There's no way to control it. I promise. I've played the mission 100 plus times already. Go test it some more before you try and argue some more.

[@Ryder7655]

Another “secret” on Gold and Sharke, the loan officer and HR name on the computer are both names from Attack on Titan. I think the HR computer name is Erik Yeager, and the loan officer is Liam Ackerman. Two names modified from Eren Yeager and Levi Ackerman.

[@Jaysu570]

That’s exactly what I thought remember that Mikasa is also an Ackerman

[@burnt-rice6174]

I noticed the Ackerman and I was surprised

[@garrukablaze]

Some amendments to this video 1: on the second highest, road rage, you can also activate the electrical boxes to open the secondary route, because it won't always go over the ramps. 2: on Rock the cradle, you don't need to worry about the VIP pass or anything. As long as you're on hard or above, running out of the back room next to the bar will pull the attention of the two guards blocking the VIP room. Then you can make a small loop, steal the key card, and get downstairs without having to do anything extra. 3: under the surphaze, he says it's one of his least favorite heists, but it's probably my favorite. Instead of the zipline you could also grab the dumpster secure point. You can just chuck the bags from the balcony to secure them. 4: bonus tip, on the mission road rage, mission 2, after heading for the extraction point and cutting the tape. Your team can just hang out on that scaffolding and farm whatever weapon challenges you have left for your equipped weapons. To finish, I actually missed that hidden "SNOW" on the last mission. I've been wondering what bag I'm missing. Thanks bro. You rock.

[@Pannox]

Some of this stuff like the VIP pass skip I've discovered after I made this vid, but thanks for sharing! I'm currently working on a follow up with the info you've mentioned + some neat stuff that I haven't seen around! You're welcome, glad to help!

[@widepeepohappy1969]

@@Pannox theres also another way to get past that door in Rock the Cradle, you can on overkill, lockpick the front door and then run past everyone to the bouncers, then grab the keycard and unlock the door right there, get handcuffed and lockpick the handcuffs and run right through the door and down the stairs. Its much faster than any other option on overkill but it also makes the gaurds go into "searching" mode.

[@dylangreen192]

Please don't do #4 with randoms. I've been stuck waiting at the extraction point for teammates to finish their weapon challenge for 15 minutes when I just wanted to fucking leave.

[@garrukablaze]

@@widepeepohappy1969 Yeah that's normally the backup plan if you get caught. Just trying to lure the mountain steal their key card

[@garrukablaze]

@@dylangreen192 Yeah, I've seen people complaining on Reddit that people keep griefing that mission but they're literally just farming challenges. If you're ever doing something that isn't just the mission, you should probably do it by yourself.

[@matthewfitzpatrick2225]

Probably a very easy to find easy egg, but Road Rage can have Almir’s toast spawn in one of shelves in the truck.

[@Coolguy20732]

I think thats in every heist that has any type of deposit boxes, seen it in the og bank heist, road rage, and other heists but I forgot

[@olakserrevived6092]

Under the surphaze also has that in lockers (when you enter from the gate in the back, go left where there's counter and pair of doors Inside one of them there are lockers, one contains QR code, other ond contains the funny sandwhich)

[@majesticbbqsauce727]

If you are missing a bag on Surphaze, it's because there is a secret painting that you potentially need 3 players yo get. Basically the managers desk has 3 very small models of statue artworks in the exhibits. Simply remember what those are, go to the matching artworks, and then bag them at the same time. This unlocks a hidden button in the office, when pressed will reveal the painting in the lobby and spawn a bunch of lazers all around it. I haven't been able to do it myself yet, seeing as i mostly play in public lobbies. So i cannot give specifics. Many speculate that it only works in stealth.

3:00 bro! That’s a great tip right there!!!

[@IAmN4te]

When you take the QR code lock in real life in any heist, you gonna get a Rick roll

[@pitbullsensei179]

In 99 containers u can max your weapon by moving in and out of exit zone for a minute😂😂😂

[@hibana364]

Took me a solid 5 minutes to find the packs of snow and money in the vault in touch the sky ngl

[@Cha0s1428]

A tip for No Rest for the Wicked. The Security room can be in 2 places. If it is in the room just to the right of the entrance to the second floor then nevermind, but if security is next to the break area, then security is marked as "private area". Walk in unmasked and have the guard catch you and escort you out. He will be off the cameras and they will never come back even when he gets back to the room. It only works when security is in "Private Area" "If its secure, you get arrested. And yes, the door to security for 99 boxes isnt actually locked.

[@hibana364]

You can also be spotted in the other area by just getting spotted right as you exit the small room to be in a private area again.

[@CosmicD]

The nightclub was my least favorite heist, When I played with friends I was usually too stressful to discover all the rooms, scared to do something wrong, because the cameras blend in with the massively colored environment too much. But when I started to explore it by myself, systematically failing and finding out all the stuff you can do in the next run, it quickly became one of my most favorites. Now I can play it with my friends actually enjoying it.

[@holopape]

U can also use trhowing knifes to move guards, throwit to the ground and guard will come to that location, it was actually pretty usefull for me when i wanted to move guard position A to b, if he was on bad position

[@xWhaleShark]

That's HUGE thank you!

[@ligmaleft1764]

I've played a ton of this game and even I learned a few things from your video. Great job!

[@luigidude1000]

In road rage there's a pile of bundles of cash sitting in one of the 2 shipping containers that have health kits in them, don't know how well known that is but it's worth picking up every time you setup while waiting for the truck

[@rangergaming9245]

btw the vault in dirty ice is the main objective of the heist you can pretty much just steal that and the majority of the objective will be complete if not the entire objective depending on perks equipped and what you did before grabbing it. and shade will call the manager for you so you can stealth it and clean it so you dont have to skip out on that step if you didnt want to

[@TryTane]

mission 3 and 4 are the best since you can speedrun them. Dirty Ice will give you 66k and can be done in ~3:00. Rock the cradle can be done in ~4:00 for around 400k.

[@hecticend9815]

Im bad at game, but I can do RTC in 2:15 easy, xub chillin has a great guide on itthat doesn’t take too long to learn and can get around 5 mil in 30 minutes easily enough

[@Ms.MaryFox]

4:44 is my fav part 😂❤ Thanks for the video!

[@queto6929]

TIP NORESTFORTHEWICKED: there is also another small safe spawn location: in the office on 2nd floor (where workers are) TIP ROADRAGE: you can also rewire circuit box, so the gate near the construction site close to the ramp is TIP DIRTYICE: in the safe located in the shop basement, there are evidence for dark origin of the diamonds. you can scan them and use it to blackmail the manager. if you do, she will change her location from the inside of store, to the private area behind the tellars

[@cabbageashthe1st594]

I think it still works at the time of this comment but at 9:00 I'm pretty sure there's a More insane and overpowered glitch to *"experience"*

[@KennyWlr]

Another tip for 99 boxes. You may have noticed that you can't open the second door before you loot the first bag, but that isn't actually true. Ever end up breaking stealth after having only successfully opened one of the containers but not the other, being forced to wait for the thermal drop? If you don't care about the quality of the loot (which, if you're doing stealth with just the two minimum bags - let's face it, you don't care about it) - you can use this to get both doors open before you have to venture out to the van. 1. Unlock the first container's door 2. Do the stupid wifi spots minigame (almost everyone hates it, it's not just you) 3. Open the door 4. Take the bag Now, DON'T run to secure the bag. You might end up breaking stealth and being forced to wait for the thermal drill for the second one. Instead, the game actually allows you to 5. Drop the bag back in the container immediately, ignoring Shade's pleas to secure it quickly because it's "degrading in value" as if we're in it for the money 6. Find the second container, unlock it 7. Optionally, try doing the wifi minigame in stealth Voila. You have opened both doors, and even if you break stealth trying to move both of them to the van - you won't have to wait for the thermal drop anymore.

[@JasonG_AdaptiveSlayer]

SCB in the 1st heist: The last safe can also spawn in that large office next to where it is shown here.

[@matt4048]

Another one for ziplines - Touch the Sky, on Loud the zipline deposits the loot straight into the helicopter. Even if you plan on stealthing most of it but don't care about getting caught to escape, it makes it much easier, as you have enough hostages to delay the police assault long enough for the helicopter to arrive, and if the bagged loot is at the bottom of the zipline it will pick it up automatically (just note that the guards will notice loot bags and the broken window caused by the zipline so do this after you have the flash drive). Also the Rock the Cradle zipline is extremely convenient in Loud. By default I bring a zipline bag on every heist, it's just so much easier.

[@DMMacaw]

I've done dirty ice on overkill and was able to pull it off with couple others silent. Yet never knew about that vault. Damn thanks thought that button was a panic button. For the vid I've learned alot too.

[@wonkatar2813]

tip for rock the cradle: go through the level loud and collect 2 pieces of info: the vault pin code (compare fingerprints on keypad to one of the 3 codes in the accounting office) and the security power box for the digital vault (some 4 digit combo with letters and a color). then if you restart the heist and still have the info, all you need is the vip pass and its an easy win on any difficulty.

[@mart9545]

The skanner thingy ending up in the helicopter has actually been fixed. It now just teleports right on the edge of the roof.

[@xFace99x]

Just wanted to say great vid and great tips!

[@skyz7839]

for the rock the cradle you dont need to take the dj hostage you can just activate it (it wont save you from masking up anyways because you need to climb up)

[@ownzye-3630]

you also have to open the gate in the road rage heist, its opened at the electricity box near the fence

[@Shiftry87]

Regarding the scanner on the Museum map its hardly even worth using it if u have to activly search for it becouse the painting even if u loot the wrong painting its worth is only about 60k less then the correct painting. The difference in money worth is barelly noticeable. 1 trick i found useful on Touch the Sky for stealth was that u can move the loot bags out the same way u got in through the airvent system. U cant jump into the vent from inside the apartment, however u can throw the loot inside it and then sneak your way out through the main door and enter the vent system the same way u got in and move the loot back again. Depending on how good u are at keeping track of the guards moving the loot through the main door is faster but through the vent is ALOT safer.

[@Frogger601]

The upstairs safe can sometimes be in the cubical room next door. This happens more often on higher difficulties.

[@GSWoof]

At this point before the update on the 5th, 99 boxes security room is simply open. It has a panel for a keycard next to it but you can just open the doors.

Tip for Rock the Cradle that's faster if you have the skill unlocked: Hacker -> Glitch protocol The second guard that doesn't move and stands on the left of the door. He will be watching you. Use Hack on him to distract him for 5 seconds, steal the card from the other guard and open the door in this time. Step back and wait for the door to open, run past them. They won't chase you. Do all of this unmasked.
