Does anyone have any good stratigies for breaking into Bank Vault early in th game. Also, is there any way to get it open besides having a manager, a lockpicker and a hacker break it open?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In testing, I used a one-man run. Brought my computer and security skills to 7 or 8 (computer skill can be lower, but you'll want security in that range), and bought an unloaded .38 revolver and a cheap suit. Entered through the front door, picked the lock to get into the back, took a bank manager hostage by showing them the revolver, then cracked the combination lock, bypassed the electronic lock, and forced the hostage to open the biometric lock. I was then killed with $80,000 on my person as SWAT teams stormed the vault while I was still shoveling cash into my bag.

You can fulfill the bank manager requirement a few different ways; taking a hostage on-site is probably the easiest, but former bank manager recruits will retain vault access for about a month before they get locked out, and a sleeper bank manager can also open the vault for you.

Right now, you have to beat all three locks to get in. I'm planning to give you an option at the teller window to wave your guns around, hold the entire bank hostage, and demand they open the vault for you. This will get you vault access as soon as day one, at the cost of alienating everyone and having the alarm up before you're even into the vault.

Oh, I guess I never thought of having one guy do it all. Thanks Mr.Fox, this is sure to help me down the road.

where is the bank ? was it added in the new version ?

[Jboy2000000]

It was added in 4.06.1 and its Downtown.

[brainfreez]

4.06.1 ? or 4.06.0 ?

[Jboy2000000]

The bank is only in 4.06.1, if you use just 4.06 you wont find it.
