Heist | Game modes Battlefield Hardline Guide

In this mode, the goal of the criminals is to steal money bags from the vault and deliver them to the point, where they are collected by the chopper.

Blowing up of the vault wall

However, in the first place, the criminals need to blow up the wall, to gain access to the vault. In itself, this is not difficult, because their route to the vault is much shorter, than in the case of the police. It is a facilitation, because they can pick the access point into the vault. If they make a good choice, the police may not be fast enough to react in time. If a cop gets to the charge, they may disarm it.

Handing over of the loot to the chopper

Then, the criminals enter the vault, they need to collect the bags there and retreat to the points that the chopper comes to, in order to give the bags over. These points have been marked as A, B and C. The player carrying the bags needs to head towards the zone, which the chopper arrives in. If the player looses a bag, along the route, the rest of the criminal squad may pick it up. If they fail to do that, the police may intercept the bags. To do that, they need to be standing next to the bag, just like in the case of capturing a flag. The default time to pick up a bag is 30 seconds. It can be shorter, depending on how many cops are standing next to it. If they are successful, the bag returns to the vault, where the criminals need to steal it from again and return to the marked zone. The more cops are standing next to the dropped bag, the faster it returns to the vault.

When the criminals, with the delivery, are nearing one of the marked zones, a chopper arrives. However, if the police manage to kill a criminal with a bag, and take care of it, the chopper leaves and the criminals cannot return to that point anymore.

The criminals win

By default, the criminals have 100 tickets. For each death, they lose a ticket. The police win if the criminals run out of their tickets, or the allotted time elapses. The round ends in the victory of the criminals if they manage to deliver all of the bags to retrieval zones.

Useful classes

In the Heist mode, all of the classes are equally important and the success may depend, to a large extent, on cooperation. On the police side, things may rely on the efficient use of Specialists, who can defend key points on the map, from a safe distance.

Hints

Always, during the Heist mode, many players are flocking in the center of the map, near the vault. Crooks should prepare their escape route, to the point where the chopper lands, still before they steal money from the vault. Also the police should not deploy the entire squad in one spot, or else, in case they die, they leave a free route for the criminals to follow. The key to success, for both sides, is to split and take key points of the map and the given point. Often, such a key point is a rooftop and it is controlling the rooftop that decides about the victory in the given match.
