Diamond Casino Aggressive Heist Prep: Optimal Support Crew (Gunman, Driver, Hacker)

In this article

Learn how to choose the best Gunman, Driver, and Hacker for your Aggressive Heist approach.

For the Aggressive approach to the Diamond Casino Heist, selecting a cost-effective yet capable support crew is key, as is securing the mandatory Hacking Device.

This part of our guide details the recommended choices for your gunman, driver, and hacker.

Gunman

For a gunman, players would normally go for an expert level gunman here, seeing as the approach is aggressive and requires a lot of combat during the heist. However, that is completely wrong. Do not get baited.

Instead, you can still go for KARL ABOLAJI, who takes only 5% cut. You can also choose the loadout you prefer, either the shotgun or revolver one (although we prefer the shotgun). It won't matter as you will get the SMG with both of them and will mostly be using that with the Aggressive approach.

If you choose a shotgun loadout then it will be beneficial in close range combat situations. The revolver is not worth it as the fire rate isn't too good given the aggressive combat nature of the heist. So you should choose the shotgun loadout which will give you a shotgun and SMG to carry out the heist finale.

Driver

We wouldn't hire any driver at all since we won't be using the getaway vehicle. Since it is mandatory to choose the getaway driver, you can go with the driver that takes the lowest cut out of all the drivers and that is KARIM DENZ, who takes only 5% of the final cut.

Go with the SULTAN CLASSIC if you do decide to choose the getaway vehicle for your escape. We are not saying you do not need to choose the vehicle at all, but if the vehicle is in a good spot, such as in a parking lot next to the sewer tunnel entrance, then by all means go for the selected getaway vehicle.

Otherwise just get a pedestrian car for your escape. More on that later in the finale guide.

Hacker

The hacker always plays the most important role in the Diamond Casino Heist. They decides the total time you get in the vault before the alarm goes off. Therefore, we recommend you spend all you have on the hacker and do not hold back.

You should choose the elite hacker AVI SCHWARTZMAN if you've unlocked him already, and if you haven't, then we definitely recommend unlocking Avi. Avi takes 10% of the final cut and he provides you with 3 minutes and 30 seconds in the vault.

The default expert hacker you have is PAIGE HARRIS who takes 9% from the final cut and gives you 3 minutes and 15 seconds. So if you do not want to go through the work of unlocking Avi just choose Paige. However, unlocking Avi is totally worth the effort.

However, for your hacker to do their duty, you need to acquire the hacking device. Learn how to get the hacking device here.
