How to Complete Required Prep Work Missions in GTA Online Kortz Center Heist

We have chosen the following prep work for the Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online: Infiltration Gear – Staff Key Card, Unmarked Weapons – Street Loadout, Getaway Vehicle – Manchez. That said, here is how to complete the required prep work for the Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online.

Infiltration Gear – Staff Key Card

Once you select the Staff Key Card prep work for the GTA Online Kortz Center Heist, Raf will send you the location of a group of hackers. Head over to the ‘Vespucci’ location marked in yellow on your map. Unfortunately, you are not invited here, so you have to fight against the hackers. So bring your best weapons to the fight and break into the hacker den.

Once you are in, make sure to wipe out all the remaining enemies and then enter the Terrorbyte van at the end. Kill the final hacker and steal the keycard cloner device. Then head to the Kortz Center and place the cloner device right outside the staffroom entrance. Leave the area after you have planted the device, and you will immediately receive a copy of the Staff Key Card.

Unmarked Weapons – Street Loadout

Raf tracked a group of people who were importing and exporting weapons at a Salvage Yard. Head over to Mirror Park, and you are not welcome here either. Kill all the hostile enemies and break into the repair shop. You will find even more enemies, so take them out as quickly as you can. Head over to the weapon locker room and enter the password ‘RAPID’ to open the door. Get inside the small room and steal all the unmarked weapons.

Before you escape from the repair shop, you need to wipe the CCTV footage of you mercilessly killing the weapon dealers. Now, you can exit the shop and deliver the stolen weapons. However, you will also be chased by the mob for stealing the weapons, but you can easily outrun them and reach your mansion in GTA Online.

Getaway Vehicle – Manchez

The Kortz Center Heist update added a new set of GTA Online cars. However, you won’t be able to use them as getaway vehicles in the new heist. You can only choose motorcycles, an armored car, or a helicopter as your getaway vehicle on the planning board. If you are opting for Manchez, then head to the Cocaine Lockup warehouse in Downtown.

Shoot all the enemies in your sight and enter the Cocaine Lockup. Take down all the smugglers, and the alarm will be triggered automatically. Then, go to the Mission Row Police Station without raising any suspicion. Behind the station, there is a door that leads inside. So, plant the given explosive and breach the door. Now you will have to deal with the police while searching for the LSPD Garage Keycard.

Luckily, the key card is inside the Captain’s Office. Storm in, kill the captain, and get the keycard. Now, move to the garage and use the keycard to open it. Now steal any one of the Manchez you like. And lose the cops. Only then can you take the motorcycle back to your mansion and complete the prep work for The Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online.

Equipment

As for the equipment prep work for the Kortz Center Heist, you need both the Access Code and the Hacking Device. Both are vital to completing the latest heist in GTA Online. So here is how to get them in the game:

Access Code

Go to Del Perro, wipe out all the enemies in your way, and then open the nearby container. Steal the drone inside the container and head to the Vantage Point marked on your map. Then take out the drone and deploy it.

You now have to pilot the drone and infiltrate the security firm. As usual, you have to do all this without being seen. You can hack the control panel and electrocute the security guards, so it’s an easy job. Lastly, scan all the terminals (computers) to download the access code. Once you get the code, overcharge and destroy the backup server, so that the company can’t change the access code. When your work is done here, leave the area as soon as possible.

Hacking Device

To access the museum vault during the Kortz Center Heist, you need a hacking device. So, head to the Chamberlain Hills and interrupt the deal between corrupted IAA agents. You can kill or blow them up, but make sure to grab the IAA keycard from the agent’s body. Within minutes, the police cars will arrive at the scene, so lose the cops before you can proceed with the next objective.

Once everything is back to normal, go to the IAA facility, open the door using the keycard, and take down all the enemies. Then use the computer nearby to open the Blast Door in the facility. Kill all the enemies within this room, and then you can find the hacking device near a multiple-monitor setup. Exit the facility through the maintenance tunnels and hand over the hacking device to the mansion.

How to Complete Optional Prep Work Missions in GTA Online Kortz Center Heist

As the title indicates, these prep missions are entirely optional. You can still complete the Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online without finishing any of them. However, wrapping up the optional prep work makes your lives easier when pulling off a grand heist. So, here is how to complete all optional prep work for the Kortz Center Heist:

Guard Shipments

Raf then shares the location of a warehouse containing a shipment of the best weapons and armor intended for the Kortz Center security guards. So, you can rush to the warehouse and tear down the shipments. In addition, you also need to hack a laptop to get the locations of the other weapon shipments.

Locate the three vans containing the weapons and destroy them. This prep work will significantly weaken the security guards at the Kortz Center, as they won’t have the necessary weapons to fight you during the heist.

Guard Routes

For the second optional prep work, you need to travel to the location Raf sent you and check out the trunk of a cruiser. Collect the tracker device and head to the Kortz Center. Climb to the rooftop of the Kortz Center.

Get near the radio tower right by the Skylight and plant a tracking device to monitor the guard’s movements during the heist. Now the Guard Routes’ optional prep mission is complete.

Glass Cutter

There are many valuable targets inside glass cabinets, such as the strange Skull Artefact Collection. So, if you want to steal the secondary targets during the heist, then you need a Glass Cutter. As usual, you have to steal the Glass Cutter. So, upload the OG (Prix Luxury AI Concierges) to KnoWay’s servers to get the Glass Cutter location.

Unfortunately, an enemy gang has the Glass Cutter in their safe house. So head to the safe house marked on the map, eliminate everyone, and grab the Glass Cutter. Although the Kortz Center Heist has a lot of prep work like the Glass Cutter, it is easily one of the best heists in GTA Online.

Power Drills

Head to the construction site marked by Raf. The power drills are located inside one of the rooms in the construction site. You can either take a stealthy approach or go in with guns blazing. Once you have secured the power drills, leave the site and deliver the drills to your mansion. During the heist, you can use the drills to open the lockboxes inside the vault.

EMP Charges

We have yet another security facility to breach in the EMP Charges optional prep work. Go to the Mobile Operation Center shared by Raf. Damage the building, or take out the driver to gain access to the building. Eliminate all the agents inside the building and steal the EMP charges.

Once you have successfully secured the EMP charges, steal the Bravado Rumpo Custom van parked outside the building. Lose any enemies pursuing you, then drive the van to the Kortz Center. Park the vehicle in front of the museum to complete the final optional prep.

Once you launch the Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online, you need to complete the scope-out stage. Well, the good news is that you can unlock all the optional prep work in the scope-out stage. Then, you can focus on completing all the main and optional prep work. Once you have ticked off all the prep work in the to-do list, only then can you kick off the Kortz Center Heist.
