Architectural Espionage opens the Casino Heist missions, which appear on the map as a green ”$” icon. Before anyone can rob Caligula’s Palace, CJ needs a photo of its blueprints.
Walkthrough
- Stock up on armor and ammo for an SMG or assault rifle.
- Drive to The Strip. A group of tourists is marked with red arrows. Shoot the one with the camera and pick it up.
- Go to the planning department building. Put your weapon away before you walk in, or the mission fails.
- Answer yes to both of the receptionist’s questions, then take the door on your right.
- The plans are on the top floor, but a guard is watching. Go one floor down to the document depository, enter the room on the right and punch the AC units to set off the fire alarm.
- Once the building empties, go back up, enter the room down the hall and photograph the blueprint on the wall to your right.
- Fight down the stairwell. Expect one or two guards at each turn and three more at the bottom.
- Outside, police are waiting. Do not fight them. Run straight to the car in front of you and drive back to the Four Dragons Casino.
Tips
- Kill the cameraman with your first shot if you can. A Sniper Rifle helps, since the tourists scatter into the crowd.
- GameSpot notes that the tourist icon can hide under the north marker on the minimap.
- GameSpot warns of a three or four star wanted level on the way out, so get into a vehicle as fast as possible.
