Diamond Casino Heist: The Big Con Approach

How to complete the Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online using the Big Con approach.

Welcome to the ultimate hub for mastering the Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online using The Big Con approach. This approach emphasizes stealth and disguise to minimize confrontation and maximize your take. This central guide will provide an overview of The Big Con and direct you to a series of detailed articles covering every step, from meticulous preparation to a flawless finale.

What is The Big Con Approach?

The Big Con approach is one of three main strategies for tackling the Diamond Casino Heist. Its core philosophy revolves around using disguises and deception to enter and exit the casino, ideally without alerting guards or engaging in combat. This method often involves impersonating casino-related personnel (like Gruppe Sechs security or maintenance) to gain access to secure areas, including the vault.

Why Choose The Big Con?

There are several reasons why you might want to use the Big Con approach:

Higher Potential Take: By avoiding combat, you minimize the risk of losing looted cash due to damage.
Stealth Focused: It offers a satisfying stealth experience, requiring careful planning and execution.
Repeatable with Variations: While you can't use the exact same entry/exit disguise combo consecutively, The Big Con offers multiple disguise options, making it versatile for repeat playthroughs.
Generally More Relaxed (if done right): Successful execution means less shooting and a smoother overall heist experience.

Overview of The Heist Phases

The Big Con Heist, like other approaches, is broken down into two main phases:

Heist Preparation: This involves a series of mandatory and optional prep missions to gather intel, equipment, disguises, and support crew. After all, careful preparation is crucial for a smooth finale.
Heist Finale: This is the execution of the heist itself, putting all your preparation into action to infiltrate the vault, secure the loot, and escape.
