Crew Roles

A crew is made up of a maximum of three crew members. Each crew member should be assigned a role which he or she is well suited for. Crew roles can be switched at any time before a heist is started but there can never be more than one of each role present in a crew. Here are crew roles available in the game.

Mastermind

This is the person responsible for coordinating team efforts and keeping track of time. Having a mastermind present for a heist speeds up certain aspects of it. If you don't have a mastermind present for the heist you won't be able to see how long you have until the guard patrol or the police arrives.

Brute

This is the person specializing in smacking people over the head, tying people up, knocking down doors, etc. In other words, most things which require the violent use of strength. The brute likes using items such as ropes and baseball bats to subdue people whenever possible.

Safe Cracker

This is the specialist responsible for drilling through vault doors, cracking open a safe, etc. A stethoscope can be a valuable tool for safe crackers.

Driver
