How to start The Kortz Center Heist
There are two ways to launch The Kortz Center Heist once your Mansion and Art Studio are ready.
After you've registered as a Boss inside your Art Studio, you can start The Kortz Center Heist in one of two ways: open the Planning Board inside the Art Studio itself, or call fixer Raf De Angelis while you're in Freemode.
Either route puts you into the same heist structure — Scope Out first, then Prep Missions, then the Finale. Which one you use is mostly a matter of convenience: use the Planning Board when you're already at your Mansion, and call Raf De Angelis when you're out in the city and don't want to travel back.
Launching from the Planning Board
Starting the Kortz Center Heist from the Art Studio:
- Travel to your Prix Luxury Mansion and head to the Art Studio on Basement Level 2.
- Register as a Boss if you haven't already — this unlocks the Planning Board.
- Interact with the Planning Board to launch Scope Out or, once Scope Out is complete, choose Prep Missions.
- Invite up to three other players — the Kortz Center Heist supports 1–4 players total.
Calling Raf De Angelis in Freemode
If you're already registered as a Boss and have completed Scope Out at least once, calling fixer Raf De Angelis from Freemode lets you jump straight into launching the next Kortz Center Heist Prep Mission or the Finale without traveling back to the Art Studio.
Both start methods work for solo players and full crews alike — the Kortz Center Heist doesn't lock either option behind a minimum player count.
Where to go after starting The Kortz Center Heist
Your first session should be Scope Out — it's a required step before any Prep Mission becomes available, and it's where you case the Kortz Center's four entry points and spot optional prep unlocks.
