How a Looty Bay heist works

  1. Scout the target and an escape route before putting on your mask. Once masked, police and other criminals can attack you. Death as a criminal costs your bag’s contents. [1347]
  2. Keep staff covered during the robbery so they do not trigger an alarm. With teammates, assign entry, carrying and cover duties rather than everyone doing the same task. [1347]
  3. Leave the city to clear Criminal status. On your next entry, choose your role again. The FAQ does not describe removing the mask alone as a status reset. [1347]

Where to sell the loot

  1. On the Looty Bay map, look for the van with a dollar symbol; alternatively, use the Sales Center. These are the documented fence locations. [1349]
  2. After selling, take the money from the counter right away. Leaving it there exposes it to theft or confiscation. [1349]

How Notoriety changes a run

Consecutive heists within one city visit increase Notoriety. Higher Notoriety improves fence deals and unlocks perks. Solo players and pairs begin with a higher level to help against larger groups; no numerical bonus is documented here. [1350]
