5 Pro Tips to Win Every Raid
1. Master the Multi-Stage Approach
Attackers must plant explosives on two security panels across different floors before accessing the vault. Don’t rush—each successful detonation adds 30 seconds to your clock. Defenders should anticipate the next target location and fortify choke points between stages.
2. Control the Narrow Corridors
Unlike typical GTA chaos, Mansion Raid rewards tactical positioning over firepower. Stairwells and hallways become death traps where a well-positioned defender can eliminate multiple attackers. Coordinate with teammates to create crossfire zones, and always watch your six.
3. Time Your Respawns Strategically
Attackers have limited respawns—waste them early and your team won’t survive the vault escape. Defenders should force attackers into risky plays that burn through lives before the final extraction phase, where pressure peaks.
4. Perfect Your Vault Extraction
Getting the gold is half the battle; escaping with it seals victory. Attackers should designate one player as the getaway driver who positions the vehicle optimally. Defenders must collapse on the exit routes immediately after vault breach.
5. Leverage Heavy Weaponry Wisely
The mode provides access to explosive ordinance and heavy weapons—use them strategically, not recklessly. Defenders can block narrow passages with explosive traps, while attackers should save grenades for clearing fortified positions during critical pushes.
