When to Go Loud
Loud heists — Plan B — trigger police response and require combat to complete objectives. Some maps like Transport and Gift Factory are loud-only. Others allow stealth but many crews switch loud when pagers run out or cameras fail.
Going loud demands different skills than stealth. You need armor, health sustain, ammo management, and crowd control. Enforcer skills like Tank, Hostage Taker, and Iron Man define loud survivability.
Assault Wave Management
Police arrive in waves with increasing difficulty. Control chokepoints using cover and deploy medical kits between waves. Shield units require flanking or explosive damage — coordinate with teammates to focus fire.
Ammo bags extend sustained fights on long heists. Sentry guns cover rear angles during bag running. Learn spawn patterns on each map through repeated runs on Hard before pushing Overkill.
