Players can grab an executive after completing the following tasks:

  1. Close the curtains by using the keys next to the windows. Doing so will allow the player to remain hidden.
  2. Closely observe the executive’s movements. Learn the pattern and locate ideal spots for cover, like the partition walls.
  3. After finding cover near the partition walls, wait for the right moment to wear the mask. Moreover, stay close to the walls to evade the cameras.
  4. When the time is right, grab the executive and use him as a human shield.
  5. Keep out of sight while moving through the descending stairs.
  6. After arriving at the vault, use the silenced pistol to destroy the camera.
  7. Move the executive towards the face scanner and initiate a facial scan.
  8. Once the facial scan is complete, the player can access the vault.

Players should remain hidden by crouching to prevent civilians or the police from raising an alarm.

Accessing the Vault without the Executive

Many players will be pleased to know they can forgo grabbing the executive by heading straight to the vault with a UV flashlight. Simply equip the UV flashlight and use it on the code pad to identify the four digits of the vault code.

While tedious, players can try different combinations of the four digits until they find the correct one to unlock the vault. For every unsuccessful attempt, players must leave the vault room and return once the code resets, or they can enter the following code to unlock the vault: 6115, 2241, 3004, 3787. Now that players know how to grab an executive or proceed without one during the No Rest for the Wicked heist, they can easily access and loot the vault with little to no trouble.

Payday 3 is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
