The Heist puts you in the driver’s seat after the score goes down. No vault cracking, no hacking—just a twitchy van, a shrinking timer, and cops who spawn like they’ve got your location on speed dial. It’s a top-down chase where every mission is a sprint to the hideout, and every clean weave through traffic feels like a tiny miracle.

How it actually plays
You start each job on a busy street grid with a target distance to safety. Tap tight lines through civilian cars, juke cruisers trying to box you in, and keep your bumper intact long enough to cash out. Runs are short and hype, so failure doesn’t sting—you’re instantly back in to try a cleaner route. The loop is classic arcade: survive → get paid → upgrade → push further.

Upgrades that matter
Cash isn’t for flex; it fixes the van’s bad habits. Engine boosts help you gap early roadblocks. Handling upgrades make lane swaps snappy instead of fishtaily. Tires tame those sketchy high-speed slides. A little armor can save a golden run when a cruiser kisses your quarter panel. Tune in the right order and you’ll feel the van go from grocery cart to getaway rig.

Difficulty that scales “fair but spicy”
Early missions toss a couple sedans at you; later ones add coordinated pincer moves, tighter streets, and heavier traffic patterns. The game never wastes time—the next problem is always four car lengths ahead, so you learn to scan, not stare.

Wheelman tips (learned the hard way):
• Prioritize handling first. Control saves more runs than raw top speed.
• Feather lane changes. Quick taps keep momentum without drift wobble.
• Use traffic as cover. Slip behind slow cars so cops clip them, not you.
• Plan exits. Don’t dive into gaps without a second gap to leave through.
