Introduction
The Bank of Altis is an event that mainly caters towards small to medium sized gangs. Since the difficulty of Blackwater Armory and Federal Reserve robberies may be too serious for smaller and/or newer gangs, and the bank robbery provides those gangs with an entry-level competitive event.
Banks robberies are usually completed more than once. It is common for a gang to rob all three vaults at the least. Many gangs come back to rob the bank after the robbery cool-down.

Starting The Robbery
To start the robbery, a gang needs three people who are using 5.56 caliber weapons (or greater) within the zone. Each vault is located on the bottom floor of each office building. Open the door, go inside, aim at the crate, select the blasting charge in your "y" inventory, and press "use" to begin the bank robbery.
Once the robbery starts, it's not uncommon for the APD to arrive at the bank. Since the APD is not required to respond to bank robberies, they don't always show up.
After the 10 minute countdown, the blasting charge will explode and open the vault. Money bags will spawn inside of the vault and the civilians will be allowed to transfer them out. Money bags cannot be place inside of aerial vehicles. Money bags can be sold at any drug dealer location.
Rewards
Each bank vault will spawn with somewhere between 25 and 75 money bags inside of it. The amount of money bags that spawn in the three bank vaults is based on the number of APD officers that respond to the bank and the rank of those APD officers. Each money bag with worth $30,000. This means that each vault could be worth $2,250,000. If a gang robs all three vaults and sells all the money bags successfully, they could potentially profit $6,750,000.
