Welcome to another Payday 2 guide. Framing frame is a 3 day job. This guide covers the third, and final, day. Our objective here is to finish Framing Frame day 3 on stealth.

Introduction to the Framing Frame heist

On Framing Frame day 1 you have successfully stolen at least 4 paintings and you placed  hidden cameras inside them.

On Framing frame day 2 you have traded the paintings in exchange of money. There is a chance to get an ambush on this day of the heist if the alarm was raised during day 1.

This guide assemes you have made it to day 3. The paintings with cameras are in place in the apartment you are about to rob. You can access them via the roof (where you start).

Framing Frame Objectives

1 Find the 5 devices.

You will need to find 5 devices (2 hard drives, 1 laptop, 1 phone, 1 tablet), you will see the differents locations of those on the map.

Note : those items can be marked by looking at the cameras from the roof.

2 Connect the 5 devices on the roof and interact with the computer in the office

Just interact with the items on the roof, then hack the computer in the office (you will get access to the camera in the vault)

3 Find the hidden vault.

You have now access to the vault camera, it can help you to guess where the vault is, there is 3 possible locations for the vault (cf : map), to access it you will need to move the bookshelf.

4 Put the coke in the pre-vault room.

Once you find the vault, 8 bags of coke will be send to you on the roof, you have to place them in the pre-vault room you just find.

5 Open the vault with the computer in the office.

You just need to interact with it to open the vault.

6 Escape ! Or stay if you want to take the gold inside the vault !

Escape is available, but if you want to get the gold, you will need to shut down the lasers via the computer in the office, but watch out, lasers are not shut down forever, but you get enough time to take all the gold out of the vault if you do it fast (a BIP BIP BIP will warn you before the lasers reappear)

7 Bring the gold to the roof and secure them via the zipline.

Nothing more, you are a pro stealther !

Loud objectives

If it goes loud, you will need to find the server room and hack it; it randomly spawn in one of the 3 secured room, you are able to detect the good one through walls by hearing a little bipbip-bipbip (it’s easier to spot it in stealth because no loud music => you can also disable music in loud to detect it)

Note : you can find a maximum of two keycards in the apartment (check map) :

But during the hack, cops will cut the power but interacting with boxes, there is always 2 boxes, you need to find them and protect them.
