Description

We're going to hit Patricia J. Sharke's pride and joy: The main branch of Gold & Sharke. We have two objectives. First, information about the conspiracy. There's nothing on the bank's systems, meaning they've probably moved the server into the vault for offline storage. Sharke relies on her reputation to do business, and we're going to destroy that reputation. Secondly, we're gonna steal all the money we can get our hands on. You know that saying about revenge? Well, we're serving it hot.

Gold & Sharke is a heist in PAYDAY 3.

Mission Briefing

Description

In lower Manhattan, the New York branch of Gold & Sharke bank stands as a temple of good old-fashioned American capitalism. We're going to rob it.

Its been in the Sharke family for generations and is now owned by Patricia J. Sharke, the bitch who stole your money and tried to have you killed. As long as you're in there, see if you can find some dirt on her on the bank's network. How you go about this is entirely up to you - quietly like ghosts in the wind, or go in guns blazing.

Strategies

Stealth

Gold and Sharke accomodates both casing and masked-on stealth greatly, allowing a variety of methods getting into the vault. As the heist has very little variations, it is easy for one to familiarize with the layout of the map. With the use of stealth skills such as Social Engineering and Grifter, it is possible to complete the entire heist without ever getting caught or arousing search mode.

When obtaining the red keycard, it is located in one of the three offices shared between the bank assistant, loan officer, and the branch manager. The names of the corresponding employee is irrelevant; only the office and employee title matters. To know the correct location without having to access the HR offices is to see whether one of the offices has an employee occupying it. By far the easiest one to locate is the branch manager, whose office has a window facing outwards, allowing players to determine whether that particular office has the red keycard or not just by seeing whether there is an employee inside.

[TBA]

Variations

• The blue keycard will either be carried by the manager (a civilian in a grey suit roaming the second floor) or in one of the two offices nearest to the server room's spawn.
• The server room needed to gain access to the vault area will spawn in two areas closest to the manager's office.
• The electrical boxes required to disable when opening the vault in stealth will sometimes change locations (except for the one furthest from the vault).
• The red keycard will alternate between three offices, either being held by the bank assistant, loan officer, or the branch manager. A civilian will always spawn inside the office with the red keycard.

Achievements

Closing the Account On Gold & Sharke empty the vault of its valuables and secure all the loot on Hard or above.
