What's Included

This complete QBCore bank robbery system includes support for multiple bank locations (Fleeca, Pacific Standard, Paleto), multi-phase heist progression with hacking and drilling mechanics, thermite breaching for vault doors, hostage-taking capabilities for negotiations, police alert and dispatch integration, getaway vehicle coordination systems, evidence and forensics for detective work, cooldown management to prevent spam, and comprehensive admin configuration options. Everything is pre-configured for QBCore with native item integration and qb-inventory support.

Bank Tier System

Tier 1: Fleeca Banks (Easy)

Perfect for new criminals learning heist mechanics. Requirements: 2-3 crew members, 2+ police online, basic hacking laptop, 1x thermite. Rewards: $30k-60k total split among crew. Cooldown: 30-60 minutes. These small banks serve as training grounds before attempting larger scores.

Tier 2: Paleto Bay Bank (Medium)

Increased difficulty requiring better coordination. Requirements: 3-4 crew members, 3+ police online, advanced hacking device, 2x thermite, vault drill. Rewards: $100k-150k total. Cooldown: 90 minutes. The remote location creates interesting pursuit dynamics.

Tier 3: Pacific Standard Bank (Hard)

The ultimate bank job requiring expert execution. Requirements: 4-6 crew members, 5+ police online, multiple hacking devices, 3x thermite, advanced drill, blowtorch. Rewards: $250k-500k total. Cooldown: 2-4 hours. Failed attempts result in significant losses (equipment, legal fees, medical costs).

Required Items & Equipment

• Thermite: Breaches reinforced vault doors (consumable, $5k-10k each)
• Hacking Laptop: Basic security bypass for Fleeca ($8k-12k, reusable with durability)
• Advanced Laptop: Required for Paleto/Pacific hacks ($15k-25k)
• Vault Drill: Opens time-locked safes ($10k-20k, degrades with use)
• Blowtorch: Pacific Standard only, final vault layer ($12k-18k)
• Lockpicks: Minor doors and security panels ($500-1k)
• Police Scanner: Monitors police response (optional, $3k-5k)

Heist Gameplay Flow

Pre-Heist Planning

Crews must acquire equipment from black market dealers or heist item shops, scout bank locations for guard patterns, assemble a skilled team with defined roles, plan escape routes and getaway vehicle locations, and ensure sufficient crew size and police count before starting. This preparation phase encourages roleplay planning sessions.

Execution Phase

One player initiates the heist using required items, triggering security systems and starting timer. The hacker bypasses alarms and cameras through minigames, while the driller works on vault access. Lookouts monitor police arrival and manage hostages if present. Time pressure creates tension—delays mean more cops arrive and harder escape.

Police Response

Upon heist start, cops receive automatic dispatch with bank location and escalating alerts. Response phases include initial patrol units (2-3 officers), backup units if heist continues (additional 3-4 officers), and SWAT deployment for Pacific Standard (if available). Police can negotiate, breach, or create perimeters—creating dynamic scenarios.

Escape & Aftermath

After looting, crews must escape police pursuit to a safehouse where money is laundered or to a fence where goods are sold. Police can track getaway vehicles, set up roadblocks, and coordinate air support. Successful escape results in rewards split among crew; capture means lost loot, jail time, and legal fines.

Installation

5. Set up heist equipment in your shops or add black market dealer
6. Configure police minimum requirements and dispatch messages
7. Add resource to server.cfg and restart server
8. Test each bank tier with different crew sizes

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic robbery scripts that feel like button-pressing exercises, this QBCore bank system creates genuine heist experiences requiring planning, skill, and teamwork. The tier progression gives criminals goals to work toward—mastering Fleeca banks before attempting the Pacific Standard. Police get meaningful content beyond traffic stops, with hostage negotiations, tactical response, and detective work. The equipment economy creates business for black market dealers and adds risk (losing expensive tools if caught). Most importantly, it balances risk vs. reward so heists feel special rather than spammable money farms.

Balancing Recommendations

For healthy server economy, we recommend Fleeca cooldown at 45-60 minutes (prevents spam but allows practice), Paleto at 90-120 minutes, Pacific at 3-4 hours (makes it truly special). Price equipment high enough to require planning—crews should spend $20k-40k on gear for Fleeca, $50k-80k for Paleto, $100k-150k for Pacific. This ensures only serious criminals with funding attempt heists, not every random player.

Police Gameplay Balance

Set minimum cops at 2 for Fleeca (realistic for small robbery), 3-4 for Paleto (requires backup), and 5-6 for Pacific (major response). These requirements ensure cops aren't overwhelmed by constant heists while criminals can't farm banks when police are offline. Consider adding evidence collection rewards for detectives—fingerprints, security footage, witness statements—creating investigation roleplay beyond just shooting.
