1Open Heist. Pick a heist. Success is your chance on it.
2Tap Go. The button shows the wit cost.
3Use − and + to run several attempts. Max uses all your wit, up to 100 attempts. A run stops if you are jailed.
4Successes count towards unlocking the next heist, shown on the locked card.

When a heist event is live, it appears above the list. See the last section.

When can I be jailed?

Jail chance comes from your wanted level, not from the card.

  • You can only be jailed on a failure.
  • With no wanted stars you cannot be jailed.
  • Every attempt adds 3 wanted points, success or failure.
  • At the top wanted level the chance is 12% on the first two heists, 19.2% on Museum Artifact Theft and 26.4% on Penthouse Safe.
  • The Jail figure on a card is the heist's base rating. It is not your chance.
What is a heist event?

A timed event runs in one city, played as a mini-game.

  • You must be in the event city. Travel there first.
  • Each player gets 3 runs, one at a time.
  • Runs take from a shared pool of cash, XP, points and bullets. When the pool is empty, the event ends.
  • Event runs do not use wit and cannot jail you.
Tips
  • Harder heists pay more and unlock only after many successes on the one before.
  • Failed attempts give some XP, so a run of failures still ranks you up.
  • Wait for wanted to drop before a long run. Jail chance is zero below the first star.
