Studio Robbery Overview
**Studio Robbery** is a high-risk illegal job paying tiered dirty money: **$3,000**, **$7,500**, and **$16,000** per successful run depending on difficulty and completion speed.
Requires combat readiness — Glock 17 minimum, Drake bag for loot capacity, escape vehicle from Vehicles Tier List. Switch owners from EXO Guns dominate defense but are not required to start tier 1.
Three Payout Tiers
**Tier 1 — $3k**: Training tier. Learn interact timing, guard patterns, exit routes. Low gear threshold.
**Tier 2 — $7.5k**: Mid difficulty. NYPD response tightens — plan vehicle spawn before entry.
**Tier 3 — $16k**: S-tier hourly potential on Jobs Tier List when mastered. One mistake wipes profit and gear.
Prep & Loadout
Weapons from Gunstop, ammo, mask options, clean escape car. Skill Points in Stamina from **5k1ll_Tr33** help sprint exits.
Do not carry C4 unless multi-robbery route — bank prep uses C4 separately (Bank Robbery).
NYPD & PvP Risk
Studio zones attract cops and rival crews. FOV ~70 from Settings helps defend loot. Launder at laundromat before big purchases.
Crew runs via Discord reduce wipe risk — one player drives while others shoot.
Progression Path
Grind Construction to level 12 ($1,200/block) → Glock 17 → tier 1 studio → tier 2 → tier 3. Full walkthrough: Studio Robbery Guide.
