The Data Breaches

Overview

The Data Breaches is Act I of The Doomsday Heist, introduced in December 2017. Working with Lester Crest, Agent 14 and the tech billionaire Avon Hertz, the crew begins uncovering a plot that will eventually lead to a rogue artificial intelligence. Act I is launched from the planning room of a player-owned Facility and can be played with two to four players.

Setup missions

Each setup is unlocked by first getting the matching prep item, either through a freemode prep mission or by paying for it.

1. Dead Courier – recover information from a dead courier, unlocked by the Paramedic Equipment prep.
2. Signal Intercepts – use Deluxo flying cars to intercept signals, unlocked by the Deluxos prep.
3. Server Farm – hit a server farm with an Akula helicopter in support, unlocked by the Akula prep.

Approaches

Act I has one approach. The finale takes the crew into an IAA facility hidden under the Satellite Relay Station in the Grand Senora Desert, where they fight through security to extract data.

Crew and tips

• Two players can finish the whole act, and smaller crews receive bigger shares of the take.
• The Deluxo setup is a good chance to learn how the car flies, which matters later in the heist.
• Inside the IAA facility, move room by room and use cover; enemies come in waves.
• The leader must be registered as a CEO, VIP or MC President to start the heist.

Payout

Act I pays $975,000 on Normal and $1,218,750 on Hard, divided by the cuts set by the leader. Completing it also lowers the price of the Deluxo and Akula.
