Heist guide for Agency Life: from the jeweller to the casino coup
Updated October 17, 2026
Heists are the most exciting part of a criminal life in Agency City. You plan them, bring a crew, and play the decisive moment yourself as a minigame. Here is everything you need to know before you go in.
What you need
Every heist needs a certain amount of respect, a crew of two to four people and sometimes special gear. The art heist and the diamond exchange need night vision goggles, the cash truck a bulletproof vest, the central bank a laptop and the casino coup a jammer. You can only do each heist once a year.
The minigames
The decisive moment of a heist is a minigame: picking a lock, hacking a system, cracking a safe by ear, sneaking through a laser grid, cutting the right wires or drilling a vault. How well you play affects whether you succeed, together with your skill and your crew.
Every heist in order
This is the natural order to work through them, from the easiest to the hardest.
| Heist | Respect | Crew | Gear | Possible sentence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jeweller | 25 | 2 | none | 3 to 7 years |
| Smuggling at the harbour | 30 | 2 | none | 3 to 6 years |
| Cash truck | 40 | 3 | Bulletproof vest | 5 to 10 years |
| Art heist at the museum | 45 | 2 | Night vision | 4 to 8 years |
| Diamond exchange | 50 | 3 | Night vision | 5 to 9 years |
| Central bank | 60 | 4 | Laptop | 8 to 15 years |
| Casino coup | 75 | 4 | Jammer | 10 to 18 years |
Cracking the safe
At the jeweller you crack the safe by ear: turn the dial slowly and listen for the click. Use headphones if you can, and do not rush. It is one of the most satisfying moments in the game.
Heists with real players
The big heists can also be done together with friends online, up to four players, each in their own role. Each player brings their own skills, and different roles complement each other. Read the multiplayer guide to find out how to set one up.
After the heist
A successful heist raises your respect and brings a pile of dirty money, but also a lot of attention: big heists can give you up to five stars. Go into hiding, take a holiday or lie low, and launder the money through a business before you spend it on anything official. If it goes wrong, prepare for court.
Tips
Practise the minigames on smaller crimes first. Train the main skill of the heist, buy the gear long before you need it and do not start a heist with stars already on your back. A fast, tuned car makes the getaway easier, see the street racing and tuning guide.
