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.

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

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.

Casino Heist Diamonds

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.

Casinos are in the business of cash.

It’s simple.

They almost always have the house edge, which means that gamblers are working with odds that aren’t in their favor.

Since the house almost always wins, there is a lot of money (cash or other currency forms like bitcoin and gold) in their vaults. This also means that some thief is looking for an easier, softer way to win it big.

There are a lot of casino movies about robbing, crooks, and big dreams.

The Oceans 11 movie franchise is built on this dream.

Just in case you’ve been stranded on an island since the first Oceans 11 movie came out, here’s the plot:

  • 2 high rollers (played by George Clooney and Brad Pitt) build a team of criminals.
  • They plan to rip off all the money in the casino (Bellagio in Las Vegas) and win back Clooney’s love interest, Julia Roberts.

Casino robberies have been romanticized by Western culture. Rarely do the thieves get away. When they do, it’s not for long.

In this post, I’m going to tell you about the biggest (moneywise) heist in history and the most expensive drink ever sold.

This true story is an example of human faults, betrayal, and not knowing when to call it quits.

The Crown Casino Never Saw It Coming

Casino Heist Buyers

In 2013, the Crown Casino in Melbourne Australia was swindled out of 33 million dollars (USD). I wish that there was more information on the internet about this, but the casino didn’t even report it to the local police.

You read that correctly.

The casino and its management didn’t report the biggest casino heist in history to the local police.

We’ll get into my theory why later.

A New Zealand businessman was invited to play at the casino’s high roller room. He had been a previous customer.

Much like American casinos, the Crown caters to the high roller players. Bigger bets almost always equal bigger losses. This means more money in the vault. You get the idea.

The businessman, millionaire James Manning, played 8 winning hands of blackjack to win a total of 32,000,000 Australian dollars (33 million USD). This tipped off the Crown Casino’s security.

It turns out that the VIP services manager had recruited Manning to come play in their high roller room that week. Manning was also scheduled to star in a record-setting event when he would buy “The Winston,” the most expensive drink in the world.

The Guinness Book of World Records would be there to record the purchase. The casino’s bar, Club 23, was gearing up for the event and the record being set by the bar.

How Did This Happen?

This heist is reminiscent of the Ocean’s 11 original film. There is hacking, behind the scenes treason, and even a PR nightmare.

This is how it all went down:

Casino Heist Hack

  • Manning and the VIP services manager worked ahead of time to hack into the casino’s security camera system. According to some tech experts, this is not a hard task.
  • Now that they have access to the high-resolution camera across the casino, they can see everything they need to put Manning in a winning player position in the high roller room.
  • The VIP services manager is also supposed to be involved in a $12,500 cognac drink launch. We will talk about that later.
  • Manning checks into the casino with his family into a VIP villa. This will become the home base of the largest casino heist in history.
  • James plays the eight winning hands with the help of the hacked security cameras and signaling from the VIP services manager.
  • Casino security is starting to get curious. The Crown’s security team realizes it’s their own VIP services manager that is signaling to Manning how to win each of the hands.
  • Manning leaves the casino floor with the biggest win in the casino’s history.
  • Manning carries on as if nothing is out of place.
  • In the middle of the night, the Crown security team discovers the heist and evicts Manning from the property. Here’s the kicker: Manning had not transferred the winning money (USD 33,000,000) to his personal account.
  • Considering the money had not left the casino’s vault, they decided to not press charges. What they did do was expel him from the property, file a no-trespass order, and cancel the drink event.
  • The casino didn’t contact local police as the money was still “in house.” Unfathomable, right?

Let’s Drink About It – The World’s Most Expensive Drink

Heist

Let’s talk about that expensive cognac drink. Manning was scheduled to buy the world’s most expensive drink. The goal was a PR event to set a world record for the most expensive drink.

Casino

What’s in a $12,500 drink?

“The Winston” has 1858-vintage Croizet Cuvee Leonie cognac.

Its namesake comes from the same vintage as Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower shared when they discussed the D-Day landings of WWII.

The Crown Casino Melbourne had a problem — an expensive problem. They had no buyer for their drink. The casino had no way of knowing that the buyer for the record-setting event would also attempt to steal $33,000,000 (USD) from the casino during the same trip.

The Guinness Book of World Records was on-site to view the event. A representative from Croziet, the owner of the 1886 bottle of cognac, was on-site to deliver the $150,000 bottle of cognac.

The event had been marketed worldwide to media and other industries. This was going to put Club 23 on the map.

So, what is a bar and casino to do with no buyer for their record-setting cocktail?

Manning had been banished from the casino, and who else had an extra $12.5k laying around for one cocktail?

The marketing team for the Crown Melbourne was scrambling to find a replacement buyer. This is where my theory comes in.

Great Plans Always Have a Fault

I have been in PR and marketing since I graduated from college. I have never organized an event of this type. I have had to scramble for coverage of a celebrity that decided to cancel an event at the last moment.

If I were on the PR/marketing team for the Crown, I wouldn’t notify the police either. The money is still in house. The buyer has been marketed as buying the drink. No buyer equals find a buyer.

I would silently sweep my $33 million problem under the rug and proceed like nothing happened. I wouldn’t want the blowback and would want to salvage what I could from this event.

The Crown, I think, had a similar idea. Let’s find a new buyer. No harm, no foul.

Almost a Record, but Not Quite

Two of the executive staff from the Crown – Vice President of VIP Services, Ishan Ratnam, and the Chief Operating Officer of Crown Hotels, Peter Crinis – approached Giang Nguyen.

Nguyen is the biggest financial contributor to the Geelong Football Club. Geelong Football Club is a professional Australian rules soccer team based out of Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

Ratnam and Crinis had another problem to tackle. Nguyen is a discreet spender. He is a regular at the Villa at the Crown Tower but isn’t known to throw around money. Unlike Manning, Nguyen wasn’t willing to throw down the $12,500 for the cost of the drink.

They came up with a workaround.

Nguyen would pay for the drink, and the casino would pay him back after the record was set, and the event was over.

Easy, right?

Not so much.

The casino was already swimming in a PR nightmare with the gambling scandal. Even though the casino didn’t report the robbery to the local police, the public knew. It was swirling around like wildfire on social media and traditional media outlets.

This event needed to go off without a hitch. Nguyen showed up and bought the drink with his own money. It was recorded, and the hosting bar, Club 23, would receive the world record for the most expensive drink ever sold.

There was one problem:

The bar didn’t actually sell the drink.

Nguyen showed up at Club 23 wearing casual clothes considering he was brought in for the high-end record-setting event. He was escorted by his friend, Ishan Ratnam.

He ordered the drink and paid for the drink.

Casino Heist Set Up

He took a sip and left the unfinished drink on the bar.

Obviously, Nguyen was not interested in the record and was unimpressed by the entire event.

This raised some eyebrows with the media. Words soon leaked that Nguyen was paid back for the record expense.

The media, other industry affiliates, and the public started to question if this really was a record since the buyer was paid back by the casino. It should be clear that the Crown paid back Nguyen, not Club 23.

Casino Heist Payout

Things went from bad to worse. Nguyen was transparent when he said he was just helping a friend. Not good.

Conclusion

As of the time of this post, the Crown Casino still holds the title for the biggest casino heist and the most expensive cocktail ever sold.

I had planned on sharing with you the top three biggest casino heists in history, but this one was too good to just give a couple paragraphs.

I’ll be posting about the other two contenders for the biggest casino heists in history in the second part of this 2-parter. Stay tuned.
