When beginning a round of Heist on Hollywood Heights as the police, there are a few things you and your team must do. The main objective for the criminal team is the sculpture on the lawn of the mansion. Set up a perimeter around the lawn and use the house as a base of operations. Use satellite phones and sabotage charges to protect yourselves from enemies attempting to flank your defenders. This setup is important for the beginning moments of the round on Heist, but remember that there are other locations that the criminals can use to breacthe vault. You and your squad need to be able to rotate to the secondary breacpoints before the enemy is able to plant the explosives or set up their drill, so don’t bury yourself too deep inside the house. It is difficult to get out, especially when the enemy is on a full force attack.

As the criminals, you and your team must be resourceful and very opportunistic. There are several different ways into the money vault that aren’t necessarily accessible by a single squad at the same time. If you notice the enemy team heavily defending one of the breacpoints, there is a good chance that one of the other two is a bit lighter on manpower. Because of this expensive layout and infrastructure, try not going to the same objective twice, or at least make sure that eacbreacpoint is being attacked equally and preferably at the same time. Overwhelming the enemy on Hollywood Heights is a strong tactic and when all three breacpoints are open, it is near impossible to defend the money bags for very long. Attack, attack, then attack some more! Keeping pressure on the enemy is never a bad idea as long as your team is coordinated. Don’t forget, the attacking team has a ticket limit and should keep an eye on it from time to time.

The primary breacpoint to the vault on Hollywood Heights is located directly above the vault, adjacent to a sculpture in the mansion’s lawn. This specific spot is right out in the open and, like most maps, it is not the best point to go for because it is the easiest for the police to defend. However, since it is the easiest to defend, if the criminals break the defense of this primary objective then it is the easiest to defend while the drill is doing its job breaking into the vault. Be aware that once this primary point is actually breached, the criminal team has one chance to enter and defend it or escape out the side before the police swarm it and it becomes extremely difficult to enter from the top side again.

There are two alternate breacpoints, classified as secondary breacpoints, but they are just as important as the primary. One breacpoint is located poolside on the flat open wall adjacent to the money vault. It is part of the wall that is on a ledge leading to the pool and can be defended from the other side of the walkway. There isn’t a whole lot of room to defend this spot, so it is by far the easiest point to breach. The second breacpoint is on the other side of the lawn from the criminal spawn whicmeans you should go around the lawn and enter througthe Driveway. To get to this breacpoint, you must access the garage by either going througthe house and opening up one of the secret passageways or by opening the garage witthe security console. Once inside the garage, you can see the large empty space on the far wall, this is the third breacpoint and is a point that should be opened last once the criminal team is about to steal the packages because it creates a direct line to two of the extraction points.

Since there are only three possible extraction points, you can’t be too picky about whicone you to head for. Your best bet is to lead the patof least resistance. If you don’t know where to go and extraction (A) is available, this is your best bet. Extraction (A) is furthest away from the law enforcement deployment and if you have a zipline equipped, exiting the money vault out the pool side and ziplining down to the helipad where (A) is located is the quickest way to capture a bag. If (A) is not available, bot(B) and (C) are perfectly accessible. However you are going to require some back up. No matter whicone your cascarrier chooses, the criminal team should use the hill and the roof of the mansion to defend these spots because they are the two higpoints and they overlook botpositions rather well.

Criminals, use gas and Molotovs to clear out any enemies inside the vault. Riot shields and shotguns can be very effective at gaining control of the vault room. Have your team focused on controlling the roof tops. If Law Enforcement gains control it will be a tougfight to the escape points. —Evan Champlin, Senior Multiplayer Level Designer
