Selling, Notoriety, bank and money laundering
Stealing is half the job. The other half is keeping the money.
Selling
- You sell at the van with the $ sign (in Looty Bay or at the Sales Center). You need to have your mask on.
- Trick: show up without the mask, check that it's clear, put the mask on in the car, and only then sell.
- Grab the money off the counter immediately! Otherwise others steal it or the cops confiscate it. Sell about 3 items at a time.
- Other robbers often lie in wait near the vans. Do a lap around the area first and keep your car close.
- The Smuggler buys goods, contraband and portable safes.
Notoriety
- It grows the longer you keep robbing during a single visit to the city (safes, broken cameras, alarms shut off…). With it, the sale bonus grows too, up to +50%.
- It resets when you leave the city. Sell once, after 3–4 targets, to catch the bonus.
- Playing solo? You start straight at Notoriety 4 (confirmed by Kefir on 13.11). In a duo you start at 2.
Banking and laundering
- Open an account at Looty Bay Bank while you're a civilian, before your first heist.
- Cash can be stolen or confiscated. Money in the bank is safe until the wipe.
- You can only keep cash with Lenny (there's a limit). Laundering is done at the table in your base and takes time.
- Bribes are paid from the bank, so always keep something there.
- Money taken out of an ATM can be stolen again!
Mistakes to avoid: putting the mask on before scouting, overfilling your bag, leaving money on the counter, not going to the bank, forgetting about the wipe.
