This is a comprehensive solo stealth guide for the “Boys in Blue” heist in Payday 3. This run is performed on Overkill difficulty and completed entirely without ever equipping a mask. It’s loud in theme, but silent in execution. Here’s how to do it.
Loadout and Skills
- Rush Generation: Use donut boxes and civilian proximity to maintain rush.
- Quick Fingers + Hacker Branch: Required to pick locks quickly and loop cameras when needed.
- Motion Sensor: Place on the Lead Guard for GPS tracking.
Phase 1: Infiltration
- Start in Lobby: Wait until you’re unobserved to steal the box of donuts. This gives full Rush.
- Open Rear Doors: With Rush active, open the doors into the restricted area.
- Mark the Lead Guard: Place a motion sensor on his back as he walks by. This will keep you aware of his location at all times.
Phase 2: Upstairs Sweep
- Enter Lieutenant’s Office: Use rush to slip past guards. Look for the lieutenant’s desk and collect cash and the car keys.
- Captain’s Office: Place the donut on his desk to bait him out. Once he leaves, loot the safe and hack his terminal.
- Hack the Terminal: Progress will halt partway; you must retrieve Jeremy’s fingerprints to continue.
Phase 3: Fingerprints & Listening Devices
- Find Jeremy’s Desk: Look for Jeremiah Benton’s desk. Use the coffee cup to collect prints.
- Locker Room Entry: Use a QR code from a phone to enter the locker room.
- Loot Lockers: Search all lockers for loot and scan for hidden evidence.
- Plant Listening Devices: One in the locker, one in the lieutenant’s office, and one on the lieutenant’s car outside (license plate: CZN 1033).
Phase 4: Evidence Room Entry
- Use Fingerprints for Entry: Return to the evidence room and use prints to unlock it.
- Hack Cameras: Disable both cameras inside the evidence area.
- Grab All Loot: Prioritize crack, rare elements, and other high-value items. Use your perk to carry two bags.
Phase 5: Transporting the Loot
- Access Side Compartment: Open the wall compartment to pass loot through.
- Don’t Use Button Early: Only activate the button to open the chute when it’s safe.
- Escort Loot Through the Parking Lot: If RNG gives you the van in the parking lot, sneak the bags through a side exit. Avoid guards and cameras using rush and timing.
Phase 6: Final Sweep & Escape
- Final Bags: Repeat trips to grab remaining bags. Use back routes and direct car park access to minimize detection.
- Exit: Once all loot is loaded, head to the manhole cover outside to make your getaway.
Tips for Success
- Timing is Everything: Use guard patrol patterns to your advantage.
- Rush Management: Donuts and proximity to civilians are your friends.
- Camera Hacking: Always prioritize disabling cameras over trying to sneak past.
- Bag Awareness: Guards now react to visible bags—stash them smartly.
Payout:
- Total: $1,387,200+ depending on locker RNG and bonus loot.
- Style: 100% stealth, zero alerts, no mask.
This guide ensures a clean, professional heist—perfect for players who want a true stealth experience without ever slipping up. Enjoy your Payday!
