You will get a cutscene where you will set up the rappel equipment.

This is our detailed walkthrough for the finale of The Podium Robbery in GTA Online's added as part of The Chop Shop DLC. After completing all Planning Work missions, it's time to use your disguises and equipment to infiltrate The Diamond Casino & Resort, navigate its restricted areas, and drive off with the highly valuable podium vehicle.

First, you must get into the LSDS van and go to the vantage point at the Diamond Casino.

Driving the LSDS van to the vantage point.

When you're parked at the vantage point, call 'Detonate Bomb' from your contacts to explode the planted explosive inside the casino restrooms.

Take cover as soon as you open the door and take out the security guards inside the storage facility area.

The facility's security measures will kick in and the whole area will be filled with poisonous gas.

Quickly equip your gas mask.

After that, run to the control panel on the wall at the end of the storage facility.

You will get a classic hacking mini-game that veterans of The Doomsday Heist will remember very well. You must destroy all the packets by directing the laser beam using the mirror nodes.

Make sure you avoid the "red packets" called firewalls.

After hacking and disabling the security measures, stay in cover and wait for the door ahead of you to open.

Make sure you kill all the guards before you steal the car.

One of the bonus challenges is to escape the casino within one minute. The one minute timer starts counting as soon as you get in the car.

So, it is best to clear the guards before you drive the car out.

When you reach the second security checkpoint, you must search the surveillance room for a terminal to unlock the security doors.

There will be two security guards inside, take them out, and interact with the security terminal to hack it.

Most players fail the one minute escape bonus challenge here due to taking too long in the mini-game.

You need to find and select the exact same sequence of numbers shown above.

The set of random numbers below keeps changing, making it difficult to do it on time. So, you must be quick here to complete the bonus challenge.

Once done, quickly run back to your car and drive to the exit through the tunnel.

When you're out, quickly make your way to the sewage tunnel and wait inside until you lose the cops. You will have a 4-star wanted level, and the best way to lose the cops is by going into the sewage tunnel as the cops never go there.

Those of you who've been following our Diamond Casino Heist guides probably already know about this method, as this is the same method we used in almost all of our casino heist guides.

Waiting inside the tunnel to lose the cops.

Once you've lost the cops, deliver the vehicle to your Salvage Yard to complete this robbery mission.

Delivering the vehicle to the Salvage Yard.

With the podium vehicle successfully stolen, The Podium Robbery is nearly complete.

Selling the Vehicle

Now, you can sell this vehicle to Yusuf by delivering it to him, or go for the easier option by salvaging it instantly for a 20% decreased payment.

We always recommend selling it to Yusuf.

If you sell it to Yusuf, you must drive the car to the docks and ship it to Yusuf. Ensure that you do not hit your car anywhere while driving it to the terminal, as the total payment value of the vehicle goes down with each hit.

You can see the total payment value of the vehicle at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Thrax delivered to Yusuf without any payment loss.

Cash Reward

Selling to Yusuf: $405,000
Salvaging Parts: $324,000

Bonus Challenges

These are the Podium Robbery challenges:

No lives lost: $10,000
Reach the elevator hatch undetected: $10,000
Escape the casino in 1 minute: $10,000
All Challenges Completed: $20,000

Total bonus reward: $50,000.

Selling the vehicle and completing these challenges will boost your earnings from The Podium Robbery and it is recommended that you sell the vehicle. For more Chop Shop content, check out our The Chop Shop overview.
