Strategies that genuinely change the route
Submarine Team and Air Support
- When
- After Salvage Hard Drives, Strombergs, Torpedo ECU and Submarine Recon.
- Plan
- One group enters the submarine and resolves Bogdan while the other keeps the Avenger alive and prepares pickup after surfacing.
- Trade-off
- Speed inside the submarine does not help if the Avenger is destroyed; both branches end in one shared extraction.
Plan for the selected team: DUO
Selected in the calculator • DUO for “Doomsday Act II: The Bogdan Problem”: Player A: Submarine lead + Avenger pilot; Player B: Submarine support + Avenger gunner.
Concrete roles
Leads the Stromberg, airlock entry and correct route to Bogdan. Keeps the aircraft outside incoming fire and positions final pickup.
Covers corridors and avoids unnecessary fights before the objective. Destroys helicopters and threats to the Avenger and returning pair.

- Risk / failure condition
- Landing early exposes the aircraft to helicopters and ground fire.
- How to recover the run
- Circle safely, clear aircraft and approach only on the Submarine Team's call.
Common mistakes
Incomplete prep chain
- Consequence
- One missing item blocks a setup or leaves the finale without its required vehicle and access.
- Correction
- Return to the exact incomplete Facility row and do not launch the finale until it is confirmed.
Avenger exposed to fire
- Consequence
- Hovering in the battle centre can destroy the Avenger even while the Submarine Team succeeds.
- Correction
- Leave missile range, clear helicopters at distance and return only on the surfacing call.
No shared extraction
- Consequence
- Surfacing far from the Avenger exposes the pair and stretches final extraction.
- Correction
- Stay by the Stromberg's cover, mark position and let the Avenger make a new controlled approach.
Pre-launch checklist
Submarine Team and Air Support know their independent goals and reunion call.
The Avenger does not enter pickup range before the surfacing call.
Check Keycards, ULP Intel, Riot Control Van, hard drives, Strombergs and Torpedo ECU before Submarine Recon.
The pilot maintains movement and distance while the gunner prioritizes air threats over distant infantry.
The Submarine Team calls exit before surfacing and Air Support sets one pickup side.

Expanded informational overview
Guide scopeThis section organizes the complete cycle: requirements, phases, figures and dependencies. The detailed operation flow is in the walkthrough above.
04
How the full cycle works
This section complements the walkthrough with full-cycle dependencies: unlock, preparations, finale, settlement and the next available attempt.
Unlock
Base requirement: Facility. Minimum entry cost is kept separate from the setup fee.
Plan configuration
Available approach, target, difficulty and team choices determine later costs and payout distribution.
Preparations
The model's full time includes required preparation; optional items trade extra time for a safer run.
Finale
The result depends on target or pool value, participant count, possible losses and bonus conditions.
Settlement and replay
After deductions, the pool is distributed using the payout model. Group heists have a 48 min wait after the finale.
05
What affects the result
The min–typical–max range accounts for a variable target, loot or difficulty where applicable.
The setup fee is deducted before the net result is calculated.
Player count and NPC crew fees can change the host and each partner's payout.
The model compares 1 hr 30 min / 2 hrs 5 min / 3 hrs 5 min, not the finale alone.
Main strengths
- High payout per completed cycle.
- Clear split between preparation, finale and settlement.
Constraints
- Entry and setup costs reduce the first return.
- The result depends on team size, cuts and cooldown.
