ROB IT Tips & Tricks

In any map with security cameras, finding and hacking the electrical box should be your FIRST priority before grabbing any loot. This removes a major detection threat.

Use your crowbar or lockpick to open back doors and balconies as soon as you enter. This ensures you're never trapped if a guard blocks your main exit.

Monitor your weight - when your character starts sweating, it's time to deposit. Multiple smaller trips are safer than one risky full-load attempt.

Ventilation shafts bypass locked doors and often lead to high-value areas like kitchens and back offices. Learn vent locations on each map.

ALWAYS pick up Diamonds regardless of other loot available. They're used to unlock classes and provide permanent gameplay advantages.

Gold Bars ($14k) have the best ratio in the game. On Bank heists, fill your bag with Gold Bars before anything else.

Stoves and Washing Machines ($800-$1,200) aren't worth their weight. Unless you have remaining capacity, leave them for lighter, higher-value items.

The $50k+ fossil requires upgraded backpack and team coordination. Have one player carry it while others create distractions and clear the exit path.

If a guard is chasing you, quickly sitting in a chair can break their AI pathing. They may lose interest and return to patrol. Risky but effective.

Crouching behind chairs, desks, or any furniture makes you effectively invisible to guards. Use this for safe waiting spots.

Throwing stones to create noise distractions is often more valuable than direct attacks. Lure guards away from your target area.

Point your flashlight at the ground when guards are nearby. The beam can alert them to your presence even if they can't see you directly.

Guards move MUCH faster than your walking speed on Impossible. If spotted, you MUST sprint. Walking away will get you caught.

Don't waste time on $500 items. Go straight for T-Rex ($50k), Gold Bars ($14k), or Mythical Gems. Maximize profit before the timer runs out.

Don't just hide - be proactive. If a guard blocks your path and you have backup, use combat to temporarily disable them rather than waiting.

Maps like Mansion start with power out in Impossible mode. Memorize the electrical box location and navigate there in darkness immediately.

A few hits will knock you out on Impossible. Losing means losing all un-deposited loot. Play cautiously and deposit frequently.
