You can follow our full solo Kortz Center Heist walkthrough below to learn exactly how to complete the heist undetected in stealth as a solo player and get the maximum amount of loot. Below, you’ll see the step-by-step process of entering the Kortz Center Heist, stealing the artwork, and slipping out undetected. Don’t miss this GTA Online guide if you want to enter, steal, and escape with ease!
If you want to see what prep work we completed, check out the guide below, which covers the best mandatory and optional prep setup for the Kortz Center Heist!
Step 1: Infiltration & Clearing the Loading Bay Restricted Area
Enter the Alpha Mail van and drive it to the Kortz Center, where you can access the Loading Bay via the waypoint. Once you’re in the Loading Bay, park the van and grab the Loading Bay Key Card, which is by the green containers. You can use this key card at the locked keypad, but inside is a restricted area, so you’ll need to avoid and kill guards from inside.
As soon as you enter the restricted area, kill the first guard you see, who is leaning against the wall. You will want to move up, where on the left you will see two guards. You need to kill them both, but only when the third guard walks away.
With those guards dead, sneak walk (L3) to the third patrolling guard and take him out too. You can now make your way back to the CCTV server room to kill the other guard.
Step 2: Hacking the CCTV Server Room
Now, look for the keypads at the doors, as one of them will allow you to interact with it, but hacking it requires you to copy the fingerprints (like the Diamond Casino Heist).
Once you’re inside the CCTV server room, wait for a guard to leave the computer room for the CCTV room, where you can now safely kill him. Now, interact with the CCTV monitors and click “Temporarily Disable CCTV”. You’re now safe to go to the computer.
Raf will send you a 6-digit code, and you just need to input it into the computer. This will task you with your next objective: to get to the security doors, which is where you’re going to encounter the laser trap. You CANNOT touch the lasers, or you will trigger the alarms, so just follow our method below.
Step 3: Bypass the Security Lasers & Vault Keypads
Bypassing the Laser Grid (Without Tripping the Alarm)
Crouch walk to the left, and wait for the lasers to move out of the way so you can access the wall panel and turn off the first set of lasers.
Head to the right and watch for the floor laser that’s sweeping forward. When it disappears, run to the wall panel on the right and turn it off. If you’re too slow, just jump.
The final trap has vertical lasers heading forward, so just crouch in place until they pass, so you can go under them. When they pass you, wait for the lasers blocking the exit to make a passable gap, where you can then interact with the final laser grid on the left.
Solve the Vault Keypad Pattern Puzzle
It’s now time to hack the vault keypad, which is simple enough. A pattern of blue circles will flash. You need to memorize the fourth set of symbols that will appear and flash three times. Now, input those same symbols and repeat this an additional two times.
Step 4: Stealing the Art & Slipping Out Undetected
Swapping the Artwork & Maximizing Your Bag Capacity
This will open the vault, and you will want to immediately head to the La Derniere Debauche to replace it with the counterfeit. Just follow the prompts on screen, and you’ll grab it in no time. When you have the painting, you can grab the four paintings in the vault to fill up your bag capacity. Just remember to watch the Vault Thermal Sensor and give yourself at least 10 seconds to exit, or you will trip the alarm.
Blackout: Wiping the CCTV & Activating the EMP
Once you leave the vault, hit the green button. You’re going to want to take the immediate right to avoid the camera, then you can enter the CCTV room and interact with the monitors to click “Wipe Vault CCTV Footage”. Once you’ve done this, open the SecuroServ Hack app on the phone and activate the EMP.
The lights will go out, so you’ll need to use your gun’s flashlight and the minimap to follow the waypoint, which will lead you up the stairs. At this point, guards cannot see you unless you’re in front of them, and all cameras are disabled.
There is an exit that will require you to “plant an explosive charge on the keypad”, but you don’t want to do that, as it will alert the police and ruin your stealth run.
Step 5: Escape Undetected and Avoid the Police
Finding the Exhibition Room Exit Keys (The Secret Stealth Exit)
Thankfully, the guards have no idea you’re in the building, and they won’t be looking for you, and they can’t see you because it’s pitch back! So, enter the doors on the right, and you should see an unsuspecting guard that you can kill, and he should drop the Exhibition Room Exit Keys. If he doesn’t, then kill more guards until one does.
With the keys, head up to the top of the stairs and follow the new yellow objective marker that will let you exit the building. Once you’re outside, the police will arrive, but they haven’t found you yet, indicating that you’re still in stealth.
Navigating the Roof & Making Your Helicopter Getaway
After the brief cutscene, immediately head to the left, and you’ll see stairs leading to the rooftop where your helicopter awaits. There will be three guards patrolling this area, so just make sure to kill them before making your escape upstairs. You also need to jump over the railing before the pillar, as there’s a camera blocking the entrance to the stairs!
Take the stairs up and kill the last guard on the rooftop, where you can then enter the helicopter and let the pilot fly to safety. If you’re in stealth, the NPC pilot should have no issue reaching the destination, and once you arrive, the heist will be completed in stealth with a nice $2,00,000+ payout just for you!
The AI-controlled pilot is very hit-or-miss, and he might fly directly into the path of a police helicopter, so keep that in mind when using him. However, the Elite Challenge doesn’t require you to complete the heist in stealth, so just shoot them down, and they should naturally despawn when he gets close to the getaway zone.
