San Martín Bank is a PAYDAY 2 heist released on February 27 2020 in Update 199 Mk II A.
Overview[]
Vlad catches wind of the Payday gang's operations in Mexico and requests some help while they're still there. Apparently stealing the Murkywater plane in Mexico caused problems for not only The Dentist, but for Vlad as well, and that the Payday gang kind of "owes him one".
The Coyopas own a bank in Mexico, the San Martín Bank, mainly using it to host illegal activities like money laundering. They also hold some Russian Treasures of the Romanov Dynasty that Vlad claims to be family heirlooms.
Break into the bank and reclaim Vlad's loot to keep the Ukrainian happy.
Objectives[]
- Enter the bank
- Get past the gates
- Find the safe
- Find some tape
- Find the manager's fingerprints
- Get the key
- Get past the gates
- Find the manual
- Open the vault
- Find the code
- Open the vault
- Shut down the lasers
- Secure the loot (4 minimum)
Preplanning[]
Players are given 10 favors in this heist. Most of the assets are extra loot drop offs. Vlad can also arrange a surprise loud entry to throw the cops off their feet.
Walkthrough[]
Players start around the main fountain area right in front of the bank. The first objective is to get inside. You can either walk through the main entrance while still in casing mode or walk in through the sides; the left side leads to a staircase to the three levels of the building; on the right side is a fire escape, which has a ladder with a red tag that you can shoot and cause it to drop down.
The first major objective is to locate the manager's safe. The safe will be hidden on a bookshelf in the manager's office, which is located in the middle of the back of the upper floor. Rummage through the books until the safe is located. Next, you will need to grab some tape from a tape holder. The tape holder will be around or inside the large meeting room, or on the manager's desk.
After getting the tape you will need to find the manager's coffee cup, which the manager himself is usually right next to, so getting around him without alerting him will be quite difficult. Obtain his fingerprint, go back to the safe in his office and open it to obtain a key for the security gates (opening one opens all). This entire process can be bypassed by drilling any one of the security cage doors (240s drill without Drill Sawgeant), and drilling a door open will not affect the others, so it may not alter guard patrol routes.
Once you unlock the gates, go through them to find the door to the vault. Similar to The White House's west wing, there will be a RFID reader, which upon being interacted with, will display two colors lit up; red, green, blue or yellow. You will need to find several power boxes and cut the wire corresponding with the two colored lights. However, unlike the White House, the power boxes do not display a color and will display a number. In order to find out which wires to cut, you will need to locate a blueprint manual in one of the ground floor back rooms which tells which number corresponds to which color.
After finding the manual and studying it, locate the boxes and cut the wires based on what the manual displays. For example if you need to cut a red wire and the manual says that number 736 is the red wire, find the power box with the number 736 and cut it. If you spend too long looking for a box, a correct box will eventually be marked out for you.
When you finish cutting the wires, go back to the now-open door with the RFID reader, and investigate the vault. The vault will require a 4-digit code to open. There will be a note on the side with the name of whomever is on vault duty. Find the desk on the second floor with the nameplate that matches, and hack it to initiate a 30s hack, after which it will display the 4-digit code necessary to open the vault. Return to the vault and plug in the code. If you spend too long looking for a computer, the correct computer will eventually be marked out for you.
With the vault door open, another problem presents itself; lasers. The lasers completely block the entrance to vault, so there is no way around them. The lasers will need to be deactivated by turning off a power box, located in one of the two rooms on the roof (one guard patrols the area). Deactivate the power, return to the vault, and loot it. The lasers can be deactivated at any time.
Strategy[]
- Kill all guards (two wandering and one camera operator, opening certain doors can change guard patrol routes so another can walk in) and the civilian on the ground floor back room for ease and safety of moving loot.
- Buying the garbage truck preplanning asset at the mechanic's shop will make moving loot much easier and safer as there are only two civilians and a guard who are ever there.
- The pager operator will NOT send additional guards when 4 pagers are answered.
- When buying the dead drops (be it body or ammo bags), place them in the mechanic's shop as there is easy access to it from the bank. If you place them in the plaza, you risk getting spotted by a civilian or cop/guard, especially if the drunk Mariachi band preplanning asset was purchased.
Entering the bank will be the first objective. You can enter by drilling through one of the metal gates to get inside. Alternatively, buying the Vlad's Surprise asset from preplanning will bring Vlad's brother-in-law in and he will ram his car into the bank entrance. You must then attach the winch to the bank teller window and signal him to yank the door off, before driving off. Doing this will provide a quick and simple way into the bank without having to wait for the drills.
After the alarm sounds, metal bars will lower blocking entry to the vault. You will need to disable them by finding the server room in one of the back rooms. After you find it, you will need to locate the IT guy on the upper floor. He will be a man in a white shirt and black trousers with short black hair and glasses, getting close to him will highlight him in yellow. Escort the IT guy to the server room and he will start the hack. The federales can interrupt the hack by turning off the power, after which you will need to turn it on again and shout at the IT guy to continue.
With the security bars turned off, you can enter the vault room. However, due to Vlad's poor information, the vault is not easy to access as previously thought, and will need to be cracked open with The Beast, the same drill used in The Big Bank. Run outside and signal Bile to send three bags of The Beast. Move each of the three bags to the vault and start the drill. Similar to the Beast in the Big Bank, the drill cannot jam, however it will malfunction a bit and will need to be repaired with spare parts. There will be a van outside whose back doors can be opened. Open the doors to the van to find a box filled with spare parts, and return to the Beast and repair it, this can occur up to 4 times.
Variations[]
- Location of the manager's safe will be behind a different bookshelf each time.
- The tape holder will be in a different spot each time, around or inside the meeting room or inside the manager's office.
- Manager and his cup will be in a different spot each time, either in the small room adjacent to his office, in the staff breakroom (his cup can be on the kitchen counter or on a table to the side) or inside the meeting room.
- Colors of the RFID reader will alternate between two colors each time.
- Location of the RFID manual will be in a different room.
- Locations of each power box and their numbers will vary each time.
- The person on vault duty will be different, as will the locations of the specific employees' desks and the 4-digit code from the computer.
- The power box to disable the lasers will be in a different room on the roof, and the actual room locations will be different.
Mayhem+ Changes[]
All cameras will become Titan cameras.
The FBI Files[]
San Martín Bank does not have an entry.
Bugs[]
- Locke will constantly pester the gang about finding the safe even if they entered the bank by drilling through a door, thereby making finding the safe completely unnecessary. Locke continues to pester the gang when an escape is available.
- The glass that says it is alarmed wasn’t able to make the alarm go off, the issue was fixed at PC update history (Payday 2)#Update .23200.
- There is currently a bug when after the alarm goes off, the IT guy will not go to the server room, and instead will run out of the playable area
- Sometimes the alarm can go off even when cutting the right wire.
- When you are inside, lockpick door at left side might get you softlock, best to open the door at right side.

Trivia[]
- This is the first heist in the game to feature a letter with an accent in the heist name.
- This is also the first heist to be contracted by Vlad since Stealing Xmas.
- San Martín Bank is also the first stealthable Vlad heist since post-release.
- This heist features the return of the The Beast drill which has only previously been used by the gang in The Big Bank.
- San Martín Bank is the third heist in the game to be set entirely outside the United States, preceded by Boiling Point and Border Crystals.
- This is the third heist after Boiling Point and Cursed Kill Room to feature regional enemies unique to their heist, that being the Policía Federal (Mexican Police Force), if one does not count Murkywater Mercenaries as they appear in several heists.
- This is no longer the case as the subsequently released Breakfast in Tijuana and Buluc's Mansion heists also use the Policía Federal
- Vlad makes a reference to Goat Simulator by wondering if Mexico has a lot of goats or not.
- The name plaques at the employee cubicles are those of famous Hispanic celebrities, athletes, and more, such as "G. del Toro", "J. Lopez", "R. Nadal", and so on.
- Although set in Mexico, among the loot from opening safe deposit boxes are rolls of US dollars.
- Inside one of the deposit boxes is a tape that implicates Vlad and his involvement with the Dentist. The Payday gang does not destroy the tape as requested and it can instead be found and listened to in the kitchen of the New Safehouse.
- The San Martín Bank heist is one of the only heists where it is canon to play it one way or another. This is due to the fact that Hajrudin would not have been arrested unless he did the "surprise" in the heist. If he wasn't arrested, he wouldn't have to be broken out.
- Another one of these heists would be The White House heist, with its secret ending.
- While Locke clarifies that the town (presumably named San Martín, judging by the bank's name) is located "south of Mexico City", according to the mission briefing, if one was to purchase the "Vlad's Surprise" asset in pre-planning, Hajrudin is called by Vlad, presumably at the last minute, to come to help the players by driving all the way from "A party in Chihuahua", a Mexican State that is right on the U.S Border and North of Mexico City, meaning that Hajrudin would somehow do the 18-hour long driving journey across the country in just enough time to catch everyone off guard, not to mention, avoid any cartel members and police he could have come across, all while driving an obviously armored and vandalized vehicle.
