Now you will be on a dark floor with no lights, except for your flashlight.
You can aim down sights with the flashlight to turn it on and see ahead of you.
You need to make your way to the elevator hatch. First, go straight until you reach the end of the corridor. There will be one security camera and the only way from here is to go right.
Keep going straight until you come to another opening with some purple couches.

After turning right, you will see another small corridor. The end of this corridor will have a heart icon on the wall.
There is no left path from here, regardless.

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.

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.

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
