The Bank of Altis is an event that mainly caters towards small to medium sized gangs. Since robbing the Blackwater Armory and Federal Reserve robberies may be too difficult for smaller and/or newer gangs, the bank robbery provides those gangs with an entry-level competitive event. Once the robbery has begun, the APD will be notified which bank is being robbed and the immediate area will become a red zone. Many gangs come back to rob the bank after the robbery cool-down.


Banks robberies are usually completed more than once. It is common for a gang to rob all three vaults at the least. Many gangs come back to rob the bank after the robbery cool-down.

To start the robbery, a gang needs three people who are using 5.56 caliber weapons (or greater) within the zone and at least 4 cops online. The vault is located on the bottom floor of the office building. Open the door, go inside, aim at the crate, select the blasting charge in your "y" inventory, and press "use" to begin the bank robbery. Once the robbery starts, it's not uncommon for the APD to arrive at the bank. Since the APD is not required to respond to bank robberies, they don't always show up. After the 10 minute countdown, the blasting charge will explode and open the vault. Money bags will spawn inside of the vault and civilians will be allowed to transfer them out. Money bags cannot be placed inside of aerial vehicles. Money bags can be sold at any drug dealer location, except for Neochori drug dealer while the bank vaults are being broken into. It’s also good to note that there is a 20 minute cooldown between opening in the same vault. After a federal event, there will be a 10 minute cooldown until the bank can be robbed.

Introduction

The Bank of Altis is an event that mainly caters towards small to medium sized gangs. Since robbing the Blackwater Armory and Federal Reserve robberies may be too difficult for smaller and/or newer gangs, the bank robbery provides those gangs with an entry-level competitive event. Once the robbery has begun, the APD will be notified which bank is being robbed and the immediate area will become a red zone. Many gangs come back to rob the bank after the robbery cool-down.

Starting The Robbery

The vault is located on the bottom floor of the office building. Open the door, go inside, aim at the crate, select the blasting charge in your "y" inventory, and press "use" to begin the bank robbery. Once the robbery starts, it's not uncommon for the APD to arrive at the bank. Since the APD is not required to respond to bank robberies, they don't always show up. After the 10 minute countdown, the blasting charge will explode and open the vault. Money bags will spawn inside of the vault and civilians will be allowed to transfer them out. Money bags cannot be placed inside of aerial vehicles. Money bags can be sold at any drug dealer location, except for Neochori drug dealer while the bank vaults are being broken into. It’s also good to note that there is a 20 minute cooldown between opening in the same vault. After a federal event, there will be a 10 minute cooldown until the bank can be robbed.
