The Heist league was a challenge league. The PC version launched on September 18, 2020 (UTC), alongside the Version 3.12.0 patch.[1] It ended on January 11, 2021 (UTC).

The Heist league has the player organizing Heists to infiltrate and steal from fortified caches of valuables. After finding a Rogue's Marker, the player can use it to visit the Rogue Harbour and run Contracts for the rogue's guild known as the Ring. The player is tasked to infiltrate an area containing a valuable item with a help of a Rogue for hire. They must secure the item and take as many other valuables as possible before lockdown occurs, then make their escape through a hoard of guards alive. Smaller contracts can lead into Blueprints used to plan more elaborate Grand Heists for an even bigger payout and exclusive rewards. Players can equip Trinkets and train and gear up their Rogues to improve the heisting experience and rewards. Exclusive rewards in the Heist league include experimented base items with new implicit mods, skill gems with alternate quality modifiers, weapon and body armour enchantments, and replica unique items with similar but different properties to its original.

League mechanic[]

Main page: Heist
Main page: Grand Heist

Enemies can randomly drop stacks of Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes.. or Contracts, which are used for Heists. Occasionally, a zone contains a Smuggler's Cache containing both. Quest Contract can only be obtained from Smuggler's Caches. Using a Rogue's Marker open a portal to the Rogue Harbour. Players can use contracts there to open a portal to perform a heist. Each heist requires a Rogue with the required Heist Job skill and level, as well as a fee.

During the heist, the player must retrieve the target item before lockdown. Opening chests raises the Alert gauge. Maxing out the gauge starts a Countdown phase before the item is locked out. Retrieving the item or running out the timer starts the Escape phase, where the player must reach the escape point without dying. All items taken during a heist are marked as Contraband, which cannot be used and drop on death until the heist is over. Selling the target item rewards you with additional Rogue's Markers.

Blueprints are used to perform Grand Heists. You can use Markers to pay to reveal additional wings and rooms in a blueprint. Grand Heists require multiple Rogues to perform and contain special items in the safe.

Rogues[]

The heist league introduced various NPCs that are classed as rogues. Rogues are hired with Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes..s in order to assist players in Heists and Grand Heists. Players may select which rogue NPC performs which job and they will accordingly appear in the heist.

Each rogue has a specific set of perks that improve drops, allow players to open more reward chests (alert level reduction), or simply assist in combat.
