Cops Hate It When You Shoot A Gun!
If you fire a gun during the hostage negotiation phase, it'll immediately end hostage negotiations and trigger an assault. Probably because they can hear the gunshots. If you have someone taking hostages, don't shoot!

Also, they HATE it if you go outside to try and lick their police cars. This will ALSO trigger the assault! Thanks to the comments for noticing this one.
Door < Gun
If you've already gone loud, ♥♥♥♥ the lockpicking minigame. Shoot the door and it'll pop right open- so long as it's a door that can be picked.
Shotguns are "7+1" Capacity For A Reason
If you tap 'r' at the start of a heist with a shotgun equipped, you'll be able to fit an extra shell in there! This is because you don't have a round chambered when your mask is off, and putting your mask on chambers a round, causing a 'vacancy.'

This means most shotguns will sometimes end up in a state where they can technically have one more shell put in them. Tap reload at random times to see if you're missing a shell in your shotgun. Or don't! I'm not a cop!
Tactically Reload..... The Thermal Lance?
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE THERMAL LANCE GOES OUT TO REFUEL IT!

This is, in fact, a LOT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SLOWER, because the drill has to reheat!

When it gets LOW, remove the tank and pop in a new one. This keeps the drill burning, and makes your heist end faster.
Diamond Scanners Do Be Quirky Though
The diamond sorter on Dirty Ice won't start sorting the next batch of diamonds until you pick up the current set in the tray.

Pick up the set in the tray, or you'll be waiting for an hour, not realizing what the issue is.
Burning Glass Does Not Have A Smell.
Unless they can see YOU DIRECTLY, guards and cameras won't necessarily get suspicious of the enormous cloud of sparks coming off of your glass cutter on certain heists. When it comes to this, think of yourself as a floating head: if the guard can see your head, they can see all of you. If they can't see any of your head, they probably can't see any of you.

This means you can sidle right up alongside certain windows and burn them open while guards are next to them, and the guard will not notice the horrible sizzling noise.

Even tho nobody needs this, here a little part 2 for ya


-Touch the sky:
You can place the thermite on the door for the red keycard even tho there is no indication to do so, this means that the heist is basically done in like 6 mins or so.

Additional secure point exists, go downstairs, go through the kitchen and the first door with the 2 ladies talking, there will be a vent there

Grab the black guy (sounds awful ik) and leave him close to the ofice, he can open the second vault for ya.


-Gold and fish

Thermal drill can be placed even with the lasers on, just turn em off and the drill will do its thing as usual (wont trigger loud)

Camera guard when the first responders are arriving, he will open that door for you, making it easy for anyone to grab some extra ammo

Zipline is a full time requirement for this map.

If you use the thermal lance parts favor, they will always be downstairs on the break room, oxygen will be next to them in the lockers

revolver are the only guns that want get an extra round.

shooting a gun with a silencer doesn't automatically end the negotiation phase, which is minor and I think the only benefit having a silencer would give you during loud, but it's useful to know.

The shotgun thing is true for all guns, not just the shotgun.
GigaDoge 22 Sep, 2023 @ 7:32am 
also the cop will begin assault if you get to close pls add that

it doesn't just apply to shotguns, I believe almost all weapons have an extra bullet in their chamber (to reflect that a bullet is already in the chamber, so you can place one more in the magazine).
