In Payday 3, players can expect an abundance of fresh missions and exciting challenges. These include intense encounters such as attacking an armored vehicle and clearing out a lavish penthouse suite's vault. Among these missions is the third installment called "Dirty Ice." In this mission, players will meticulously plan and execute a heist on a prestigious jewelry store, boasting an enticing lobby, an exclusive VIP Showroom, and a heavily guarded vault brimming with opulent jewels just waiting to be stolen.
To successfully proceed with the mission and gain access to the vault, players must track down the elusive blue and red key cards. Here's a guide on where these key cards can be found and how to effectively utilize them.
Blue Keycard
To gain entry into the security room of the jewelry store in Dirty Ice, players can acquire the valuable blue keycard. This keycard can be procured by discreetly approaching one of the patrolling guards from behind or by eliminating them outright. It is important to note that not all guards carry the keycard, so it is essential to thoroughly search for it, typically found attached to the back of their belt.
Once you have obtained the blue keycard, make your way to the basement area. Beyond the PIN-locked doors lies the secure basement space of the store. Direct your attention towards the middle section, specifically the front door on the first floor, which is locked with a blue keypad. There are two guards to contend with in this area - one who patrols the main section of the basement and another stationed immediately inside the locked door. Eliminate the first guard, unlock the keypad, and then deal with the second guard to gain access to the store's security camera system. Additionally, you will find some ammunition pickups in the lockers.
Red Keycard
Players can discover the red keycard inside the basement storage room, which is also where the VIP Showroom Alarm switch is located. It is crucial to be cautious of the guard who patrols the main area of the basement, as well as the two security cameras that surveil the storage room door during their rotation. By carefully timing their actions and positioning themselves appropriately, players can skillfully pick the lock on the door and gain covert access. The red keycard awaits them inside the storage room, positioned on the table to the left of a secure safe.
The red keycard provides players with access to the high-priority vault situated next to the VIP Showroom. Along with the keycard, players are required to capture an employee and use them as a shield, forcibly pushing them onto the button located on the desk inside the manager's office. Afterwards, players must swiftly proceed to swipe the red keycard against the pad adjacent to the vault in order to unlock it. Once unlocked, players are then able to secure the valuable stone contained within.
