To successfully complete the Kortz Center Heist in Grand Theft Auto Online, players must familiarize themselves with all available entry points and optional preparation missions. Scoping out these elements beforehand provides more strategic options during the heist itself and can significantly increase potential earnings.
Kortz Center Heist Entry Points
There are four distinct entry points for the Kortz Center Heist. While photographing the Staff Entrance is a mandatory objective for mission completion, scouting the other three is highly recommended for added flexibility.
The Staff Entrance is located on the right side of the bottom floor entrance of the Bell Building and is marked on the map with a camera icon.
To access the Sky Light entrance, players must reach the roof of the Bell Building. Stairs on the side of the structure lead to the rooftop, where the skylight can be photographed.
The Sewer entry point is the most challenging to find. It is a sewer grate situated within the Kortz Center's hedge maze. Utilizing a flying vehicle for an overhead perspective is the most efficient method for locating it.
For the Loading Bay entrance, players should go to the parking area adjacent to the Kortz Center. Near a barrier is a small parking hut; follow the ramp downwards past this barrier to find the loading doors, which can then be photographed.
If players run out of time or miss any entry points during the initial scope-out, they can revisit the Kortz Center by interacting with the poster on their planning board in the Art Studio.
Optional Prep Work Unlocks
Completing five optional prep work missions for the Kortz Center Heist is advised to achieve maximum financial returns. Each mission unlocks a specific advantage or tool for the main heist.
The Guard Routes prep work is unlocked by photographing the radio tower antenna found on the same rooftop as the Sky Light entrance. This photograph should be sent to Raf.
To unlock EMP Charges, players should head to the rooftop area near the Sky Light entrance. Facing the entrance, look to the right for a lower walkway. Dropping down here and locating an electrical box against the wall allows for a photograph to be sent to Raf.
Guard Shipments can be unlocked by using the CCTV in the security office. Players need to cycle through the cameras until they view the loading bay, then pan to find and observe shipping boxes.
The Glass Cutter prep work is unlocked after leaving the security office and during the general scope-out of the Kortz Center. Photographing any display case containing a secondary target and sending it to Raf will unlock this option.
Power Drills are unlocked by using the CCTV in the security office. Players must navigate the cameras until they see the inside of the vault, then pan right to focus on the safe deposit boxes on the wall.
