ATM Hacking

Plug a USB into a street ATM, beat the scramble, and walk with the till. Solo job. Government jobs can't do it.

Needs an ATM hacking USB from the black market (about $144,000 with tax). Dumpsters can drop one too.

80% cash. 20% dirty money.

How it works

  1. Walk up to a street ATM with a USB. E is the normal bank menu. G starts the hack.
  2. Stay put through the progress bar, then beat the scramble minigame.
  3. The USB is gone if you finish or fail. Cancel mid-pry and you keep it, but that machine may still lock for a bit.

You're 3 stars when it pays (plus a bounty). Fail the scramble and you're still 1 star, and the stick is still gone.

Can't hack from a vehicle. Can't chain the same machine — hit a different ATM next. After a success, wait about 2 minutes before another hack. Each machine is also locked for a couple of minutes once anyone starts on it.

The whole server sees a toast when someone cashes an ATM. Don't expect a quiet score.

Pay

A normal hit is about $140,000–$220,000.

Rarely an ATM pays 3–6× that — a world bonus, at most once an hour on the whole server. Don't plan around it.

Tips

  • Bring more than one USB. Fail the scramble and that stick is still dead.
  • Rotate machines. Same ATM twice in a row will bounce you.
  • Dumpsters are the cheap USB source if you don't want to buy one.
  • This is not a Fleeca. It's a street box.
