Plan multi-stage heists that the resolver must honour
A heist is a campaign, not a button. You gather intelligence, divide roles, pick approaches and equipment, plan routes and contingencies, then commit. The resolver scores the plan you actually built—and the aftermath changes trust, evidence and heat.

What to read next.
Know before you enter.
Can new players immediately run major heists?
No. Serious targets require reputation, money, equipment, people and preparation; early street jobs build toward them.
Does police heat matter after a heist?
Yes. Evidence, witnesses, vehicles, loot hotness and financial behaviour can build cases that require legal preparation and operational changes.
Is the planner cosmetic?
No. The resolver evaluates the plan the player built—approaches, roles, equipment and contingencies all change outcomes.
