Answers to common questions about the Diamond Casino Heist covering penthouses, NOOSE outfits, cooldowns, and unlocks.
Whether you're wondering about prerequisites, alternative strategies, or unlockables for the Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online you'll find your answers here.
Do you need to buy the penthouse to carry out the Diamond Casino Heist?
No, you do not need the penthouse to carry out the Casino Heist, however some points of interest require you to have a VIP membership in order to access them, such as the Vault Blueprint in Agatha Baker's office.
If you take a picture of the blueprints then you will have a prototype in your Arcade basement to practice drilling on. Getting this blueprint is completely optional and it will not affect the Casino Heist experience.
Is there an easier way to get the NOOSE outfit?
A possibly easier method would be to enter directly through the roof. Alternatively, you may enter from the front entrance and then exit through the roof. For the standard method, see our NOOSE Exit Disguise prep guide.
What is the difference between the Level 1 and Level 2 security passes?
Level 1 is actually useless. Level 2 cards are what you really need as they allow you to enter through all the doors without the need to hack them. With Level 1, you will need to hack doors to get through them. It makes your heist much easier especially if you are doing Silent & Sneaky approach. Learn how to get the Level 2 pass in our Security Pass guide.
Do you select the Security Pass mission or trigger it?
It is on the heist prep board at the bottom right corner where it says "Security Pass". Underneath that, you can switch to either the level 1 pass mission or level two pass mission. When you start the mission read the prompt that will pop up asking for a confirmation to start the mission for a level 2 security pass.
How can I search for the Croupier?
Once you head into the party, wait for Lester to send you a picture of the Croupier. Check the picture in your phone's messages and then look for an identical person in the party. The Croupier will likely be on the ground extremely drunk. So try to look for passed out people on the ground. As you get closer to the Croupier, he/she will be identified (you will see an arrow on top of them) and you will get the option to search. After that, if the card is not on them, you need to search for it in the surrounding area.
Initially it will not be marked with an arrow so just look for a highlighted/glowing object. Once you get closer to it, you will identify it and just grab it.
How do you unlock Gruppe Sechs Gear Parts 1 & 2?
To unlock this prep mission you need to take a picture of the security tunnel of the casino. It is right beside the racetrack. Check out Access Point #4 here or you can view a video showing the access point. For the full prep, see our Gruppe Sechs Entry Disguise guide.
How long do I have to wait to run another Diamond Casino Heist?
You need to wait for 45 minutes in real-time before you can do another Diamond Casino Heist.
How do you unlock the Yung Ancestor outfit?
In order to unlock the Yung Ancestor outfit you need to first complete The Big Con approach using Yung Ancestor as your entry disguise.
Once you have successfully completed the heist, four variants of the Yung Ancestor outfits will be available to purchase from the clothes shop under the Outfits: The Diamond Casino Heist. The names and prices of these outfits are as follows:
- The Trending — $29,975
