Hi there! If your reading this you either don't know how to raid the bank vault or are bored and want to learn about something you already know how to do. This guide will cover the basics of raiding the bank as well as the possible rewards you can get from raiding it. Personally I find raiding the bank a excellent way for new players to earn money.
Part 1: The Vault!
When raiding the bank vault this is where you will want to be. I recommend you place down a dupe (See image 1.). The large block of money(See image 2.) in the center shows how much money and how many cases will spawn at the end of the bank raid. The more people in the vault when you start the raid will effect how long the timer is. Upon starting the raid everyone on the server revives a notification in chat.

Part 2: Cops!
Of course, raiding the bank has a risk. When the bank raid is active cops have no NLR and trust me, some can be very persistent. Every time a cop arrests or kills someone in the bank vault when the raid is active they receive 50k. Of course some cops are more of a threat than others. SWAT Snipers usually posses more threat as they have the ability to one shot you, but remember any cop can use any weapon. I would recommend being extremely careful when a sniper is around.
Part 3: Rewards!
While raiding the bank is a challenge it yields some very good rewards including a BP Case (See list 1 for what you can win from them), a weapon case (See list 2 for what you can win from them) and of course some money, everyone who takes part in the raid will receive a cut of the money.
List 1:
A Blue Print case can contain the following (In no particular order):
Molotov Cocktail BP (A strong item capable to killing lots instantly)
Nuclear Launch BP (A server wide explosive,takes 15 minutes to launch if successful you receive supercharged uranium)
Thunder Gun BP (A powerful hand held explosive using thunder)
Diamond Lockpick BP (A much faster lockpick)
Diamond Pickaxe BP (A pickaxe with 100% success)
Printer Booster BP (Doubles the amount of money a printer makes)
Defibrillator BP(Bring back the dead)
Tuxedo Suit BP (A fancy suit)
Thief Suit BP (Dress up like a thief)
Access and craft your BP's by doing the following: F4 > View My Blueprints > Craft one.
List 2:
A Weapon Case can contain the following (In no particular order):
F200 (A powerful rifle)
Ares Shrike (A slow firing yet high damage machine gun)
PKM (A faster shooting ares)
Striker 12 (A automatic shotgun)
M134 Minigun (A machine gun)
Timed C4 (A powerful timed explosive)
Damascus Sword (A huge sword dealing high melee damage)
Proximity Mine (Explodes when someone steps to close)
Matador RL (A powerful variation of the rocket launcher)
RPG-7 (A rocket launcher)
Milkor Mk1 GL(A powerful grenade launcher)
M202 RL (A quad rocket launcher)
Orbital Strike (A explosive strike dealing massive damage)
Part 4: Starting the Bank Raid!
Now you know the benefits and how to raid the bank I will teach you how to start the bank vault raid:
Firstly press F4 and go to the menu that says "Check Bank Vault Status"
Before starting the raid make sure your job is allowed to raid the bank:
Jobs allowed to raid the bank vault are:
Thief
Master Thief
Gangster
Guard (If hired)
Godfarther
If you are one of those jobs go ahead and press the button that says "Start"
Sometimes the raid won't start, below are reasons:
The bank vault is on cool down for "X" minutes
There are not 5 cops online
You are not in the bank vault
Upon starting the raid the alarms start and everyone on the server is alerted.
If you make it to the end of the timer the alarms stop and the cases spawn and money is added to you inventory.
Part 5: Tips and conclusion!
- A worthwhile investment is the defibrillator, it allows you to bring back any dead raiders
- Make sure you have enough guns before starting the raid, I would recommend you have 1 shotgun, 1 sniper and 1 rifle/SMG/Machine Gun
- Make sure you can easily kill anyone coming through the vents
