One mission that has players buzzing with excitement is Dirty Ice, where you’ll have the golden opportunity from the Ashton Fine Jewelry Store. With its intricate layout and various challenges, Dirty Ice is a heist that can easily captivate your attention for hours on end.
The vault tucked away in a restricted hallway, quite literally, is the jewel in the crown of this heist. This treasure trove is brimming with high-value items, making it an irresistible target for any aspiring criminal mastermind. But as with most treasures, it’s not just about finding it; the real challenge lies in cracking it open to claim your rewards.
This guide is here to steer you through the labyrinthine store and the perplexing steps required to unlock the vault in Dirty Ice. Read on to discover how to locate the vault and secure your prize without setting off every alarm in the building.
How to get to the vault in Dirty Ice in PAYDAY 3?
Your first task is undoubtedly locating the elusive vault. Hidden in a restricted hallway behind the main showroom, there are several ways to gain entry. You can either solve the QR code door in the shopping area, navigate through the VIP showroom and the subsequent door into the hallway, or infiltrate the basement from behind the store and climb your way up to the hallway.
As soon as you reach this elusive area, the vault is practically in sight, situated right beside the manager’s office. But beware—the area is heavily guarded with cameras and security staff, so move cautiously if you wish to maintain the element of surprise.
How do you open the vault in Dirty Ice?
Once the vault location is no longer a mystery, swing into the manager’s office. Here, the computer holds the key to opening the vault. Hack into it to find an email outlining the dual-button unlocking process.
One button can be found to the left of the computer on the manager’s desk. The second button is near the vault door, but activation requires a red keycard.
Now, where is this keycard? It’s in the basement, which you can only access with a four-digit code. You’ll find details about this code in another email on the manager’s computer, directing you to either the Wi-Fi password in the break room, the open ledger in the VIP showroom, or the employee of the month photo in the shop area.
Lastly, it’s showtime. If you have the luxury of a multiplayer partner, coordinate to press both buttons simultaneously. If you’re flying solo, you’ll need to take a hostage to hit the button in the manager’s office. Execute this, and the vault door will open, revealing the Rare Stone. This prize is worth $40,000, doubling the value of standard jewelry bags.
With this guide at your disposal, you’re fully equipped to conquer the Dirty Ice mission’s vault in PAYDAY 3. Good luck, and may your loot be ever valuable.
