Escaping the cops vs. catching robbers
You got the money. Now you have to leave the city with it.
The golden rule: once you cross the city limit (the exit bridges), you're no longer a robber and the loot is safe.
Before the heist
- Park facing the exit before you put on your mask.
- Always have at least two escape routes. The cops can block a bridge.
During the chase
- Take corners, not straight roads. Use ramps, robber cars handle better than cop cars.
- Hide in bushes or alleys and break line of sight.
- Under 3 pursuit stars, the cops only find you if they see you.
- At 3 stars you become Most Wanted and everyone sees your position. Don't kill civilians, it raises the pursuit level!
- Bridge blocked? Turn around early toward another exit.
- Smoke grenades used to break the pursuit, but since November 11 they can no longer be bought (cheaters were abusing them).
- Police Radio shows you nearby patrols. It's expensive, but worth it.
