The Kortz Center Heist Scope Out guide
Scope Out is the mandatory first step of The Kortz Center Heist — case the building before you commit to a plan.
Scope Out sends your crew to case the Kortz Center itself for the Kortz Center Heist. Beebom and GameRant both describe four entry points you can scout during this mission: the Staff Entrance, the Skylight, the Loading Bay, and the Sewer. Which one (or combination) you eventually use in the Finale is a planning decision made after Scope Out.
Scope Out also doubles as a discovery mission for optional Kortz Center Heist Prep Mission unlocks. Photographing or inspecting specific targets while scouting can reveal extra prep options such as Guard Shipments, Guard Routes, Glass Cutter, Power Drills, and EMP Charges.
