The Duggan Robbery: Planning Work Missions Guide

This page will teach you everything about the Planning Work missions required for The Duggan Robbery in GTA Online's The Chop Shop DLC. The missions involve acquiring a Bypass Module and VIP Pass for arena access, as well as an optional mission to disrupt Duggan's armor supplies.

Planning works are the major prep missions for the final robbery. You only get two mandatory planning missions and one optional planning mission designed to make the final robbery relatively easier for you.

Planning Work 1: Bypass Module

In this mission, you need to steal a bypass module. However, the location of the bypass module is unknown until you destroy three signal jammers around the city.

Although the mission is not timed, we recommend using a flying vehicle with a homing missile feature built-in, such as a Buzzard helicopter or an Oppressor Mark II.

Once you've destroyed all three signal jammers around the city, Jamal will send you the location of the Merryweather lockup housing the bypass module.

The lockup is heavily guarded. You will also find an armored vehicle with a mounted machine gun. Take cover and eliminate all the enemies.

Do not destroy the armored vehicle outside the lockup, as we will use it for cover against the enemies inside the lockup.

After eliminating everyone outside the lockup, destroy the control panel by the lockup shutter door.

The shutter door will open, and while it is opening up, quickly take cover by the armored vehicle.

There is a heavily armored juggernaut with a death machine inside and some more Merryweather guards.

The easiest way to take out this juggernaut is by using explosives. Use an RPG, a sticky grenade, or even a grenade launcher.

But the problem with the death machine is that you're also exposed to the enemy firing you with theirs. And we all know the death machines can really deplete your health bar (The Doomsday Heist flashbacks).

Once you've taken out all the enemies, head inside the lockup and pick up the bypass module.

Deliver the bypass module to the salvage yard to complete this mission.

Planning Work 2: VIP Pass

In this mission, you need to acquire the VIP pass. You get it by breaking into the abandoned workshop of the Maze Bank Arena.

When you get to the workshop, sneak your way into the two ground floor offices to find a keycard to Peter's office.

The keycard can spawn randomly in any of the ground floor offices, and it is not fixed which one gets the keycard. It is random every time you get this mission.

First, make your way to the middle by going over the railing to your left and down the small slope. You cannot jump over it, so you must walk around. Be careful of the security camera's cones of vision and proceed to the office on the left.

When you get to the office, hack its keypad.

When you enter the office, you can usually expect the keycard to be on the work counter or the office desk.

Now we move to the next office. Both the offices are next to each other, side by side. However, to get to the office on the right, you will have to circle back and, go through the middle and walk up the little slope. This is because there is another security camera between both offices.

Hack the keypad of this office and check inside.

After acquiring Peter's office keycard, you must go to his office.

Also, be careful of the camera facing the stairs leading up to Peter's office.

The VIP pass inside Peter's office is also in a random location, sometimes on the table, on the shelf, and sometimes on the TV stand.

When you pick up the VIP Pass, some guards will enter the workshop and try to take you down.

You don't have to fight them as you can quickly leave the office, go downstairs, and leave the workshop.
