Description

Let's get you back in the saddle. This is a small branch bank, usually low-traffic. But there's been a mix up in the money transport schedule, meaning there's a lot more cash than usual in the vault. Decide how you wanna do this. Beat the security gate and quietly gain access to the vault. Or go in guns blazing and burn your way through the roof. It's your call. You've done this a million times before. But hey, there's no rest for the wicked.

No Rest For The Wicked is a heist in PAYDAY 3, and the first heist in the game.

On the run and desperate for cash, the crew takes a job from their new CrimeNet handler, Shade, to hit a small branch bank in the city.

Mission Briefing

This branch of Secure Capital Bank is currently holding an unusually large amount of cash in its vault, awaiting transport. Because of this, there is an increased presence of security guards on-site, but I'm sure you can handle it.

Decide the best way to approach this. You can either sneak in and disable the security systems or go in loud and burn your way into the vault with thermite.

That cash is not going to stay in the vault for long.

Stealth

In stealth, the gang starts unmasked, out front of the bank. They must enter the bank. After doing so, Shade tells them to turn off the vault gate power. The power switch can spawn in many randomized positions, but there is a guaranteed spawn inside the teller room, which can be accessed by opening the left-side door (next to the vault).

Next, the lock must be bypassed by hacking a computer inside the server room, which is also randomized and can be found either on the second floor or the roof. The player needs a red keycard to access the room, which can be obtained by stealing it from a roaming guard. A blue keycard may also be found, used to open the camera room.

After hacking the computer and the console, a random switch with its corresponding color code and symbol will need to be pulled from the two access panels outside the vault. Once the switch has been correctly pulled, the pre-vault room will open.

The next objective is arguably the hardest to complete, as it requires the player to carry an employee with vault access from the first floor down to the vault. This can be especially tricky if playing on overkill difficulty, as the stair guard will be constantly patrolling the only way down. A good strategy is to place a microcam on the stairway and monitor the guard’s movements.

With the keypad unlocked, the player can now hack a final computer to obtain 4 codes, with only one of them being the correct code. It can be found by the fingerprints on the keypad: codes that have digits with no fingerprints can be ruled out.

If the vault was opened in stealth, the loot drop off point will activate as soon as the player picks up a bag after defusing (or not) the ink bomb rigged to it. It can either spawn on the parking lot or near the back alley, in front of the bank. If the player found info on the location of the deposit box containing the Wixia documents, it will be highlited.

Loud

As the alarm goes off, the vault keypad will be locked and civilians will begin to evacuate. It is advisable to tie as many of them up, as they will be useful for the negotiation phase and the assault breaks.

Shade will call in Bile for periodic equipment drops of thermite to burn the floor above the vault. The first drop will occur one minute after this dialog, and the first thermite bag will be dropped in the parking lot. The player can safely go out and collect it while other teammates trade civilians to delay the assault, if it hasn’t started yet. The bag can be set up on the first floor.

After the contraption is in place and the thermite has started burning, the game will force the negotiation phase to end and anticipation to begin. Bile will continue dropping bags in other parts of the map during the first assault, and the player can decide whether to use them to speed up the burning process.

Once the thermite has finished burning (takes about 6 minutes with no extra thermite boosts), a hole will open that leads to the vault. It is important to stay as little as possible in the vault, as enemies will rapidly flood in from the hole and the vault door, possibly causing downs due to the little cover there is inside the vault.

The next objective tasks players with going out to the Main Street and lowering the bollards preventing the escape van from arriving. Once these have been taken out with the power boxes around the street, the van will come in and start acting as the loot drop off point. Players should aim to complete this objective quickly, as the bollards will come back up eventually. After all the required loot has been secured, the escape will become available.

During the FBI Assault, a van will arrive in front of the bank, carrying an antenna. If this antenna is destroyed, the assault will be stopped prematurely.

Variations

• The location of the Wixia deposit box (and the papers with its location) will be random.
• The breaker box can be in three different locations (IT Office, side offices, and roof).
• The power room can spawn in one of three locations(Roof, second floor near the kitchen, or second floor near the stairwell).

Trivia

• Concept art for No Rest For The Wicked were made by Victor Bravo.
• This heist is particularly infamous among the PAYDAY community, as during the launch of PAYDAY 3, server errors that led to long matchmaking times and a lack of players led to Shade's briefing ("Let's get you back in the saddle.") constantly being played on repeat, leading to players to negatively associate No Rest For The Wicked's mission briefing.

Bugs

• During loud, if players are standing directly on top of the area where the thermite is meant to be placed, they will remain stuck there until the thermite has burnt throught the floor to the vault.
