Guides for every part of life in the city.

Bank Robbery

There are three tiers of bank job:

  • Night City Savings branches around the city are the small jobs. You hack the vault door and break open the deposit boxes.
  • Paleto Bay Savings is the step up. You need a security card for the vault, thermite for the inner gate and a drill for the boxes.
  • Night City Reserve downtown is the big one. It takes a security card, a hack, thermite for more than one gate and a drill.

Deposit boxes pay in Marked Money, gold and jewellery, and the bigger the bank, the better the boxes. Only one bank job can run in the whole city at a time. While a vault is open, every other bank says The security lock is active until things reset.

Before you begin

BankTools
Night City SavingsElectronic Kit + Trojan USB
Paleto Bay SavingsSecurity Card A, Thermite + Lighter, Drill
Night City ReserveSecurity Card B, Electronic Kit + Trojan USB, Thermite + Lighter, Drill

The kit, the USB, the cards and the thermite are used up on each attempt, even if you fail. The lighter and drill are kept.

1

Open the vault

  1. Hack panels: press E at Hack the vault panel with the electronic kit and trojan USB on you. Your character connects the device, then a hacking minigame starts against the clock. Win it and the vault door swings open.
  2. Card readers: press E at Swipe a security card. After a short check, the door unlocks.

Burn through the gates

  1. At a locked gate, press E at Place thermite with thermite and a lighter on you.
  2. A timing minigame starts. Click when the gold marker passes the green dot.
  3. On a win, a short countdown runs and the gate opens. On a miss, the thermite just burns. Either way, stand back from the fire. Esc backs out without using the thermite.

Break the deposit boxes

  1. Walk up to a box and press E at Break the deposit box open.
  2. At a branch you pry them open by hand. At the two big banks you need a Drill on you, or the lock is too strong.
  3. Each box takes around half a minute and you can't move while you work. Split up so every member of the crew works a different box.

When the vault is hacked or a card is swiped, the bank's alarm calls the police, unless the alarm has been knocked out first (see below). Without gloves you will likely leave fingerprints.

Power stations

Thermite works on the city's power substation fuse boxes too (Place thermite). Blowing them knocks out security cameras and bank alarms in the area that station feeds. If enough stations go down, the whole city has a blackout for a few minutes. No bank alarm calls anyone while it lasts. Then the power comes back.

After the job

  • Marked Money is dirty money and shops won't take it. You'll have to find someone who can clean it.
  • Gold bars have no legal buyer. Jewellery goes to the Pawn Shop.

Staff can move the bank robbery spots (and disable deposit lockers) in F9 → World Spawns.
