This 2026 updated guide details every point of interest, optimal routes, and tips to complete scoping efficiently while minimizing risks. Whether you're new or grinding for elite challenges, knowing these spots unlocks better planning options.

From underground parking to rooftops, we'll map all mandatory and optional locations, explain POI impacts on finales, and share cooldown strategies for repeated runs.

Step 1: Starting the Scope Out Mission

Purchase an arcade first, then Lester texts the job. Drive to Diamond Casino in a clean vehicle. Park and enter discreetly.

  • 1. Enter via main doors or staff entrance
  • 2. Avoid NPC detection
  • 3. Use Paibot scanner for access

Hit these three points every time for vault access intel.

  • 1. Staff Lobby (back entrance guards)
  • 2. Cameras & Security Room
  • 3. Vault Door & Laser Grid

Step 3: Optional Points of Interest (POIs)

Scan extras for approach unlocks. More POIs = better finale options.

  • North/South Valet (parking)
  • Main Cage (cash access)
  • North/South Doors (exits)
  • Roof Access Point
  • 20 Total POIs available

Step 4: Best Routes and Time-Savers

Optimize your path to finish under 10 minutes.

  • 1. Staff entrance > Security > Vault
  • 2. Valet parking for quick vehicle swap
  • 3. Ignore roof if Big Con planned

Step 5: Post-Scopes Planning Phase

Return to arcade. Review footage for buyer, vault content, guards.

  • Buyer Contacts: 3 choices impact payout
  • Vault: Cash/Art/Diamonds/Gold
  • Guards: Patrols & Responses
