Match flow

1. Join a live room and identify whether you are playing for the robbers or the police.
2. Check the current objective, timer, weapon, ammunition, and the direction of nearby teammates.
3. Move toward an attack route or defensive position instead of treating the round as a free-for-all.
4. Use cover, crossfires, and short bursts of movement to win control of bank entrances and vault approaches.
5. Robbers convert an opening into objective progress; police close the gap and interrupt that progress.
6. Reload behind cover, regroup after respawning, and change route if the opponent is holding the same angle.
7. Claim the displayed match rewards and use the available weapon or upgrade interface before the next fight.

Robbers: create and use an opening

The attacking team cannot spend the entire clock trading shots outside the bank. One group can hold defenders' attention while another enters from a different angle or works on the vault objective. Once the loot is secured, the priority changes from entry to escort: teammates should clear the route ahead, block pursuers, and avoid clustering around the carrier.

Watch the timer and the objective indicator. An elimination matters most when it produces time and space to enter, capture, steal, or escape.

Police: defend with depth

Police gain value by controlling doors, corners, vault approaches, and likely escape routes. A layered defense is safer than placing every player at the outer entrance: if the first line breaks, another player can still contest the vault or intercept the loot.

Do not let one wounded robber pull the entire team away from the bank. Reset the formation after a successful defense and prioritise anyone actively advancing the objective.

Top-down shooting and map control

Movement and aim are independent, letting the character strafe, retreat, or circle a corner while firing toward the pointer. The elevated view reveals nearby rooms and approaches, but walls and bank geometry still create blind angles. Pre-aim common entrances, expose only enough space to fire, and reposition after repeated shots reveal your location.

Bank entrances, tight corridors, vault connections, and extraction routes naturally become high-traffic areas. Holding one useful route for the objective is usually more valuable than roaming for an isolated elimination.

Ammunition and reloading

Weapons use limited magazines and reload with R. Reload before entering the next room, while a teammate is covering, or after retreating behind a wall. Automatically reloading after every short burst can be just as dangerous as entering the vault with too few rounds, because an opponent may push during the animation.

Weapons, upgrades, and rewards

Available weapons favour different jobs: rapid close-range fire helps an entry player, controllable sustained fire holds an entrance, and accurate longer-range options cover open approaches. Match performance and objectives provide rewards used through the game's current unlock or upgrade systems.

Do not assume every upgrade is permanent across versions. Some builds or portals can apply improvements within a match, while account or reward interfaces may provide longer progress. Read the current purchase description before spending and choose improvements that support the role you actually perform.
