There are three general approaches to the Casino heist, all with specific preps, excluding the general preps common for all of the approaches. Some of the preps are optional, while some of them are multivariate (Ex: different getaway cars, different gun loadouts, different disguises). I'm looking to unlock the uniforms for Gruppe Sechs, was wondering why it won't allow me to select them as a heist option.I know they're an option on the Big Con approach, provided you do the prep mission to steal a Gruppe Sechs armored van.

Vault Keycards

Patrol Routes
Go to a meeting of the Duggan security guys, eliminate them and search for the right car. Once found, open the trunk, take a photo of the documents and send them to Lester.
Duggan Shipments
Like a freeroam job. You have to destroy 10 shipments of these shipments, spread all over the map. Best use a helicopter for that.
Security Intel
Help poor Vincent, who is now a mall security guy. The Intel will be done in every heist when completed once.
Power Drills
Go to a construction site that is marked and collect either a vehicle with the drills or the drills alone. One person can carry two drills. A disguise is sometimes available.
Security Pass
- Level 1: Acquired from a cleaning woman.
- Level 2: Acquired from a croupier.
We had to crash a drug-party and find the croupier to search him for his pass.
Specific Prep - Silent & Sneaky
Nano Drone
You have to drive round the city and shoot down drones used by the LSPD. Then just collect the dropped parts.
Vault Laser
Go out to the desert, fight some (OP) Army guys and search for the lasers. They look like this:
EMP Device
Go to LSIA and steal a cargobob. Then fly to the university, lift the EMP out (it is right on the open filed) and fly it to the substation of LS Water and Power right across the casino.
Infilitration Suits
Go out to Human Labs and kill the guards in your way (the alarm will trigger as soon as you enter) Bags are in the rear (where you have to par the Insurgent in the Human Labs Heist). Bags look like this:

Specific Prep - Aggressive
Thermal Charges
Acquire Thermal Charges to blow up vault door. We had to go out to Sandy Shores and crash a Hillbilly party.
Vault Explosives
We had to go out to Paleto Bay and recover the explosive from a sunken airplane, guarded by Merryweather. Grab scuba gear and dive out to find it.
Reinforced Armor

Boring Machine

Third Board - Heist
Your personal weapon arsenal can be collected in either Laundry or Waste Disposal
Silent and Sneaky
Take out the electric stuff with your stun gun
Kill the guards right away, DO NOT STUN THEM! Guards with a helmet can't be killed right away. You can kill them with your knife.
Our way through:
- We went in through waste disposal, disabling the first metal detector, in the area behint it.
- After that we opened up the guard rooms and killed the guards.
- In the elevator bay, there is a button in the middle of the security room, right by the window, that opens the door of a small vault. There is the daily income in there, that you can steal. Press the button, let one guy go in, close the door and wait until he has emptied the vault. The vault can be opened from the inside.
We waited for the elevator guard to pass and opened up the stairs access.
The Big Con
Our settings where:
- Entrance: Security Tunnel
- Entry Disguise: Gruppe Sechs
- Exit: Waste Disposal
- Exit Disguise: Firefighters
Buyer: High Level (is further away, but you get more money)
First: Get into the Gruppe Sechs van and drive to the casino, to the security tunnel. You are being let in and have to drive down the tunnel, where your credentials are being checked and you are able to park the van.
Then, go down to the vault area, proceed through the manhole. To go through, you have to swipe two keycards at the (roughly) same time (time-window is roughly 4 seconds) and then just go down the winding tunnel.
Then you have a short cutscene, one knocks out the guard who opens the door and then you have to start heisting.

GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist Aggressive Prep Missions
Here, we will take a look at all the important prep missions you need to complete for the Aggressive approach and how to do them. you can do all these missions by yourself or with friends. Of course, it will be easier if you have someone to help you
Support Crew
Gunman
Normally, most players would choose to hire an expert level gunman because this approach will be full of actions. That is a big mistake!
Instead, go hire KARL ABOLAJI, who will only charge for a 5% cut.
As for your loadout, the shotgun loadout will be better than the revolver loadout. You will also get an SMG, which you will be using the most.
Driver
You don't have to use the getaway vehicle to escape because you can just get a pedestrian-car. But you still have to choose a driver.
If you don't use the getaway vehicle, choose the driver who demands the least, which is KARIM DENZ.
If you DO use the getaway vehicle, choose SULTAN CLASSIC.
Hacker
This is the most important role in the heist. Hackers will interrupt the system to give you more time to get into the vault before the alarm goes off.
This is why you should spend as much as possible on the hacker. The elite hacker AVI SCHWARTZMAN is the best option if you have unlocked him. Avi will get 10% of the cut and you will have 3:30 minutes in the vault.
The default expert hacker is PAIGE HARRIS, who will get 9% of the final cut and you will have 30:15 minutes. He is a fine option if you don't want to unlock Avi.
Gun spinner slot. The Gun Spinner slot lives up to its title by using fast-draw and trick-shooting to execute the bonus round, which is triggered by landing 3 scatters (sheriff badges). If you are curious to know exactly. GunSpinner is a superb-looking slot from Booming Games with a clever random bonus reel mechanic and some highly volatile gameplay over 20 paylines in the 5x3 grid. The key to the bonus action is the.
Hacking Device
You have to get the hack device from one in two locations, the FIB building or N.O.O.S.E headquarters.
FIB building:
- You will need to get a FIB agent pass to enter the building. You will be asked to go to a location to skill the agents to get the pass and escape from the police.
- Park your car in front of the FIB building so you can run away easily.
- When you are in the building, stay out of sight because the agents and guards might recognize you.
- Use the elevator to go to the upper floor and use your phone to find the device.
- Now get outside of the building. The agents will recognize you once you are near the exit so be prepare.
- Get in your car in front of the building and lose the police to bring the device back to the Arcade.
N.O.O.S.E headquarters
- You will need to go to Davis City Hall to kill the corrupt agent to take his key card.
- Go to the N.O.O.S.E headquarters and park your car right in front of the building.
- Find the device using your phone while avoiding the sights of the guards.
- When you exit the building you will get 3 stars wanted level and get chased by the police.
GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist Aggressive General Prep Work
Top 3 online safety tips for kids. There are 2 mandatory General Prep missions, which are Vault Keycards and Duggan Shipment. You can just skip the rest.
Patrol Routes mission is not mandatory but it will let you see the location of guards during the finale so you should do it as well. It is up to you because you will be pretty much just gun blazing in any way.
Vault Keycards
You will be given one in two missions to get the Vault Keycards. One mission will require you to hijack a prison bus to impersonate a prison guard. In the prison, go to a tower and take out the guards to get the Vault Keycards.
The other missions require you to go to 2 different locations to take down the guard and get the Vault Keycards. One guard is drunk on the street while the other guard will be in a motel. Use a suppressed weapon or a melee weapon to avoid the police.
You can also go rambo into the prison to get the Vault Keycards but it will be super difficult with the snipers inside the prison.
Duggan Shipments
This mission is super important if you choo the Aggressive approach. This mission requires you to destroy 10 shipments across the city. These shipments are quite far away from each other so having a friend to help you will be the best. You only have 10 minutes for this mission so it is quite hard to do if you do it alone.
By completing this mission, the guard in the finale will be really weak with low armor, bad aim, and low health.
Since you will be gunfighting the guards all the way through the Aggressive approach, this mission will make everything much easier.
Patrol Routes (Optional)
The Patrol Routes will show the positions of the guard in the finale, which is more useful for The Big Con approach and the Silent & Sneaky approach. It is still quite useful so it is totally up to you.
This mission requires you to find a specific card and take a picture of what is in the trunk of that car. The location of this car will change every time but it will be the same car model with a gray or black color. You can sneak in or kill all the guards to get to the car, but make sure you don't accidentally destroy it.
GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist Aggressive Approach Specific Preps
You need to complete all the approach specific prep missions along with the mandatory prep missions. But if you are an experienced player with max armor and health already then you can skip the reinforced armor mission.
Here all the approach specific prep missions you need to complete.
Thermal Charges
This mission is simple. Just go to the location the mission requires, kill the guards and find the Thermal Charges in the warehouse, which is in a wooden crate. Note that there will be a lot of guards there. Bring the Thermal Charges back to the Arcade.
Vault Explosives
This is the hardest prep mission so I recommend having a friend do it with you or otherwise it will take a lot of time. You need to go to Alamo Sea to search the plane wreckage for vault explosives. There will be a lot of Merryweather soldiers there.
You need to get some rebreathers and put them on before starting the mission. Go to the locations and kill all the guards and dive to find the vault explosives. Head back to the Arcade to deliver the vault explosives. Whenever you get the crates, there will be Merryweather helicopters chasing you down so be sure to have a getaway vehicle.
Boring Machine
You don't have to do this mission but it will make your finale much easier and faster. The Boring Machine mission allows you to get to the casino vault easily by putting explosives on the wall which leads to the vault security lobby are and go to the vault directly.
To get the Boring Machine, you need to go to a construction site. Take out all the construction workers and guards there, which should be easy. Get into the truck with the machine on it and run away. There will be cops chasing you but you can lose them easily by calling Lester.
When you are free, go to the sewer and leave the Boring Machine there.
GTA 5 Diamond Casino Heist Aggressive Finale
Final Prep Board
On the Final Prep Board, you need to choose your entrance, exit point, your buyer, clean vehicle, and gunman decoy.
- Entrance: SEWERS
- Exit point: STAFF LOBBY
- Buyer: IT is best to choose a high-level buyer for the most cash.
It is not necessary to pick a clean vehicle, and gunman decoy.
Heist Finale
Let's start the heist. Head to the sewer tunnels. There is a door in the tunnel which will lead you to the wall to the vault security lobby.
Go through the door and then plant your explosives on the mark on the wall on the mark there. A cutscene will start, in which the wall is blown open, followed by you and your buddy going through it and the debris fall down blocking the way.
Get inside, kill all the guards. It should be easy if you have done the Duggan Shipment prep mission. Just take your time to kill them one by one.
Go to the mantrap entrance and swipe the keycard with your friend to head to the vault. Plant explosives o the vault and use your phone to call the 'Detonate Bomb' contact. Get inside and loot everything as fast as possible. Use the thermal charges to open locked doors.
Leave when the timer hits 30 seconds, no matter what you are doing, and go to the exit. Swipe the keycard with your friend again to open the entrance to the mantrap. When you get to the vault security lobby, there will be a lot of guards. Take them out and head to the elevator to go to the staff lobby floor.
When the elevator opens, there will be a guard standing outside with a shotgun so be prepared to fight immediately. Get out of the elevator, and turns right twice, going toward 2 doors. Kill the guards there and go through the 2 doors. Turn left twice to go to a long hall that leads to the staff lobby.
There will be some guards along the hall. At the end of the hall is a double door that leads directly to the staff lobby. Kill all the guards in the lobby and head for the exit, through the metal detector.
Outside the lobby is a racetrack. Run on the right side of the track to the end, where the racetrack descends down towards your right. Jump over the fence to get out to the street to get a pedestrian car.
The cops will be chasing you. Go to the same sewer tunnels you started and wait until the cops are gone. Keep going through the tunnel to the other end. Once you are outside of the tunnel, make your way to the buyer, but don't go near the casino. When you get to the buyer, the heist ends.
