Walkthrough [ ]

The crew starts below deck right next to the server room, which cannot be accessed until near the end of the heist. Players must make their way around the yacht to find an indicated laptop located in a few specific spots on either decks. Hacking the laptop will yield the colored tag marking where the money is stashed (though this clue will also be seen next to the laptop) and the four locations where the money is stashed.

The stashes can be located in any of the four levels of the yacht, which the laptop will specify which deck and what location they are stashed in including food carts, lifeboat storage, private rooms, cigar/wine collections, aquariums or book shelves. At this point, it is recommended that the crew split up to search each deck individually to speed up the process. Caution should be taken as each deck can have multiple guards patrolling the same area, however their patrol routes are fixed and thus easily maneuvered. Civilians may also be present in certain locations prompting players to either avoid passing through or to tie/kill them. There are also artifacts and paintings to be secured should players wish to earn a little extra pay. Loot and body bags can be thrown out the windows off the yacht to be secured or to be disposed.

Once all stashes all secured, Bain will prompt the crew to return to hack the laptop to grant them access to the server room (20 seconds) located below deck to steal the hard drive. The server room can be entered either from the starting point or near the kitchen. Once inside, the crew needs to shut off four machines which feed the servers coolant. The path needed to reach the coolant pumps is randomized and sometimes requires maneuvering a maze of lasers. Shutting all four coolant pumps, the crew will then need to press four manual override switches in order to open the hard drive storage. Each override switch has a delay before needing to press the next, during which players should avoid the guards patrolling the room as their paths navigate around the switches. On lower difficulties there is only one guard patrolling this area and on even the highest difficulty, there will only be two. The crawlspaces will have active lasers, thus players must be careful and time when they can move through them.

Upon pressing all four override switches, the players can then take the hard drive stored in a glass case near the switches and escape through the doors leading back to the spawn point.

Strategy [ ]

• Loot is secured by throwing it anywhere into the ocean. On some decks, there are windows that can be opened for loot to be thrown out of. The same applies for body bags that need to be disposed of.
• The guards will not change their patrol routes when you open up doors.
• Take note that ECMs will prevent the override switches from being used, hence the final sequence cannot be ECM rushed.
• Unlike the other stealth heists, there are no hostile security cameras present regardless of difficulty. Therefore, the only threats are the numerous patrolling guards around the yacht.

Variations [ ]

• The laptop the crew needs to hack can be located on any of the four levels, with some being harder to reach than others due to the number of guards needed to bypass.
• The openings underneath the catwalks where the server cooling towers are may vary, which in some cases may split the valves into several separate areas and/or forcing the player(s) to maneuver past several alarm lasers. At other times the openings will just sit open and be accessible from the stair landing without the player having to sneak their way past any laser at all.

Security Presence [ ]

There is no camera presence. There is a total of 15 guards present on the yacht, all of which are Gensec security guards. Lower Deck(S1) consists of 4 guards, one patrolling in the kitchen, two in the server room, and one patrolling the rest of the floor. Main Deck(A) consists of 6 guards, three patrolling outside on the deck and the room with the aquarium, two patrolling in the hallway of the bedrooms, and one patrolling in the smoking room. Upper Deck(A1) consists of 3 guards, two patrolling on the deck, two patrolling in the dining room, and one in the resting room. Upper Deck 2(A2) consists of 2 guards, one patrolling on the deck and one patrolling in the reading room.

The FBI Files [ ]

Attendees at a fundraiser party for Washington mayor McKendrick aboard a yacht in New York Harbor reported a suspicious-looking smaller boat approaching the yacht for a few moments and then leaving.

My Notes: Probably nothing. But keeping an eye on this one given the Washington connection and the Payday Gang’s recent antics in New York.

• A player experiencing lag or other desync issues interacting with one of the searchable locations can cause it to glitch and not activate, thus rendering the loot inside irretrievable and the mission unable to be completed by failing to meet the quota.

Achievements and Trophies [ ]

• Achievements

UNLOCK CONDITION: Complete The Yacht Heist in stealth with all members at maximum detection.

PLACEMENT: Living room coffee table.

• Hammerhead , Great White , and Megalodon are all species of sharks .
• The Yacht Heist is the fourth stealth-only heist in the game after Shadow Raid , Car Shop , and Murky Station , or fifth, should one count Flash Drive . It is also the first DLC stealth-only heist.
• The tags on the openable containers you find have a QR Code on them. When scanned, it translates to "Shazan Box Enterprise" and the number next to the ID is a hexidecimal which when decoded comes out to spell out "Fishy business" [1] .
• All the tags say 'subrosa' on them. This is probably derived from the Latin phrase meaning 'under the rose' and used to denote secrecy.

Originally posted by Seven : There are 7 artifacts and 1 painting on the map, and I don't believe there's any variation between difficulties or random spawns, but I haven't exactly been looking. You already outlined the location of the artifacts, so nothing to add there. As for the painting, there is one as I mentioned, but I'm not aware of any way to actually get to it. In case you're wondering, it's on the main deck in the same area as the numbered rooms (where the 4 artifacts are), towards the front of the ship. There's a large glass display containing a statue and a map on the wall inside it, and the painting is inside the wall behind the map. In order to actually grab it, you need to enter the room behind it and delete the wall from the world. Deleting the wall and grabbing it doesn't trigger anything in particular, and attempting to secure it will simply result in it falling out of the map and respawning on the ship where you threw it off. Either there's a trigger somewhere to make it accessible and useful for something (though I've not found anything, nor have I looked), or it's simply a leftover asset that is not important. I'm leaning towards the latter. Edit: I should mention that it's technically not actually a painting, but a light artifact like those in the museum (that look like paintings). Edit 2: Screenshots with some custom debug waypoints in case you're interested. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862114135 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862114240 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862114311
