Rotation

Rotation-dependent • no single fixed minute valueThere is no single confirmed minute value; availability depends on a board, phone call or contract rotation.

First weekly cycleUse the Priority variant only when the board marks this file; the ×2 payout is available once before reset, while the Challenge worth up to $50,000 is separate.

Verified permanent rules

Priority File

One board entry is the weekly Priority File, and its increased payout is available once before the reset.
The permanent Priority multiplier is ×2; the Challenge worth up to $50,000 is a separate condition and is not part of the multiplier.
Priority File is not a GTA+ benefit; the current weekly file is not hard-coded into the guide.
No official partner rate is published: detailed walkthroughs for all four Files indicate $25,000 for the finale; the Challenge worth up to $50,000 is settled separately (confidence B).

OPERATIONS GUIDE V2 • SOLO

Track the secret site through an RC Bandito, acquire charges and malware, disable the gas and recover drives from Maze Bank's server facility.

Start here

Exact requirements

Buy the Darnell Bros Garment Factory through Maze Bank Foreclosures and complete the FIB Files introduction.

Purchase / contact / menu

Select “The Project Breakaway File — complete flow” on the Factory office computer when the file is available.

Starting location

The operations office inside the Darnell Bros Garment Factory.

Board or marker

The FIB Files computer with three preparations and a finale.

Purchases not required

Other Factory facilities and personal vehicles are not prerequisites for launching a selected file.

First run and replay

These are two persistent story instructions. They are not the finance calculator's weekly-variant switch.

First story playthrough

The first “The Project Breakaway File — complete flow” selection runs through the three preparations on the Factory computer before unlocking the file finale.

Story replay

Select a replay from the computer when the file is available; repeat its preparations while keeping payouts in the separate finance panel.

Official mission order

01
prep / preparation
Mobile Tracking
Hide the RC Bandito inside the vehicle leading to the secret facility.
02
prep / preparation
Thermal Charges
Acquire charges for the server-room gates.
03
prep / preparation
Encryption Bypass
Acquire the malware that bypasses the terminal encryption.
04
finale
The Project Breakaway File
Locate the facility, disable the gas pumps, defend the upload and recover the drives.

Strategies that genuinely change the route

gas and data

RC for location, malware for server room

When: After hiding the RC, acquiring thermal charges and the Encryption Bypass drive.
Plan: Locate the site with Trackify, use the RC to destroy gas pumps, upload malware under cover and breach gates before taking the primary drives.
Trade-off: Optional Server Blades and Black Books add weight; they must not delay the primary drives or extraction.

Plan for the selected team: SOLO

Selected in the calculator • SOLO for “The Project Breakaway File — complete flow”: SOLO operator: Trackify and RC operator + Malware operator + Gate breacher + Drive collector.

Concrete roles

SOLO operator: Trackify and RC operator + Malware operator + Gate breacher + Drive collector

Tracks the van, takes the Bandito and destroys gas pumps. Connects the drive, solves the cipher and holds the upload. Places thermal charges on the correct route gates. Prioritizes primary drives and leads extraction to the garage.

Actions, risk and run recovery

01
prep / preparationMobile Tracking
Action
Take control of the RC Bandito, locate the correct Eberhard Benson, hack its rear doors and hide the RC inside its cargo crate.
Tip
In Mobile Tracking fit the tracker to the correct target and wait for a stable signal.
Risk / failure condition
A tracker on the wrong vehicle sends Trackify away from the objective.
How to recover the run
Return to the area, confirm the model and refit at the active marker.
02
prep / preparationThermal Charges
Action
Track the Maze Bank security shipment, take the thermal charges and deliver them to the Factory for breaching the server-room gates.
Tip
Collect the full Thermal Charge set and reserve it for project gates and entries.
Risk / failure condition
A missed charge stops progress through one secured barrier.
How to recover the run
Return to the last crate, collect the missing charge and confirm delivery to the Factory.
03
prep / preparationEncryption Bypass
Action
Locate the former FIB technician, acquire the encryption-bypass malware drive and return it to the Factory.
Tip
The terminal operator carries Encryption Bypass and does not hand it off during the finale.
Risk / failure condition
Changing operators at the malware terminal delays the interaction under security waves.
How to recover the run
Return the device to the assigned player and start the terminal only with cover ready.
04
finaleTrackify
Action
In the finale, open Trackify and follow the RC signal hidden in the delivery van to locate Project Breakaway.
Tip
In Trackify follow the strengthening signal and do not split vehicles on guesses.
Risk / failure condition
Splitting loses the shared marker and extends the approach under active security.
How to recover the run
Regroup at the last strong reading and search the area in one loop.
05
finaleExterior security
Action
After locating the site, clear the security around the garage and secure the entrance before taking remote control of the RC.
Tip
Clear exterior security from the nearest gate and keep the vehicle outside the firing line.
Risk / failure condition
Driving into the center surrounds transport and closes the retreat route.
How to recover the run
Pull the vehicle back, clear one gate's positions and enter through that secured sector.
06
finaleGas pumps
Action
Drive the RC Bandito inside, reach the nerve-agent pumps and detonate it to reduce the gas hazard.
Tip
At the gas pumps place charges in order and confirm each marker clears.
Risk / failure condition
A missed pump leaves the installation active and blocks progress to the terminal.
How to recover the run
Circle back to the final marker, place the charge and only then detonate.
07
finaleTerminal and malware
Action
Enter the facility, plug the drive into the terminal and solve the password cipher to begin the malware upload.
Tip
The operator connects bypass and malware while defenders close the two nearest entrances.
Risk / failure condition
An interrupted console resets the upload and increases incoming waves.
How to recover the run
Clear the doors, return to the same console and resume without changing operators.
08
finaleDefend the upload
Action
Defend the terminal until the upload completes while avoiding areas where gas remains active.
Tip
During upload do not chase enemies beyond terminal sight and rebuild cover from the inside.
Risk / failure condition
An open flank lets a wave interrupt the operator near completion.
How to recover the run
Return to the assigned entrance, revive near the console and finish the final segment.
09
finaleGates and optional data
Action
Use thermal charges on the locked gates; along the route you may collect Server Blades and Black Books, which add bag weight.
Tip
Open gates in exit order and take optional data only after the sector is stable.
Risk / failure condition
Chasing an extra can separate the primary carrier from extraction.
How to recover the run
Drop the optional marker, return to the primary objective and open the nearest exit gate.
10
finaleDrives and extraction
Action
Collect the primary drives, leave through the garage, defeat the outside reinforcements and deliver the data to the buyer.
Tip
Split the drives among carriers, regroup at the vehicle and extract on one route.
Risk / failure condition
A missed drive or lone carrier blocks the final handoff.
How to recover the run
Return to the final marker, collect the carrier under cover and resume as a convoy.

Common mistakes

Incomplete three-prep set

Consequence: A missing element stops tracking, gate breach or the server-room upload.
Correction: Return to the Factory computer and complete the exact missing preparation; no optional loot replaces it.

RC misses gas pumps

Consequence: Remaining gas reduces safe sectors during the cipher and upload defence.
Correction: Do not start the terminal; return the RC to the missed pump or define a safe zone before connecting the drive.

Optional data before primary drives

Consequence: Extra weight slows the operator and can leave the primary objective under reinforcement pressure.
Correction: Abandon the optional room, regroup at the primary drives and leave through the garage after clearing one lane.

Pre-launch checklist

RC, thermal charges and Encryption Bypass are confirmed on the computer.
Operators know the order: gas pumps, cipher, upload, gates, primary drives, garage.
Confirm the hidden RC, thermal charges and Encryption Bypass before the finale.
The operator follows a set loop and confirms every pump before detonating the Bandito.
Take the primary drives first; Server Blades and Black Books only when the exit remains clear.
