Jewelry Store Layout

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s understand the layout of the jewelry store. The main showroom is accessible from the street, but remember, no masks allowed! The store manager hangs out near the rear left pillar, flaunting her blue shirt, glasses, and yellow scarf. Keep an eye on her, she’s the key to our success.
In the employee area behind the showroom, you’ll find locked doors with QR code scanners. Don’t worry, we’ll teach you how to open them. And at the back of the hallway, there are stairs leading to the basement where the real action happens.
How To Open QR Code Locks

Those pesky locked doors with QR code scanners won’t keep us out for long. Look around the store for phones. Hack them to obtain QR codes, which will unlock any single door. These phones can be found in the break room, bathroom, manager’s office, and sometimes even outside. Just remember, the phone placements are different every time, keeping us on our toes.
How To Enter The Jewelry Workshop

The VIP Showroom across from the manager’s office holds great treasures behind a locked door. Fear not, because we have a plan! Take the manager hostage and use her retina to unlock the door. It’s the perfect blend of elegance and badassery. If you choose to go loud, simply capture the manager and bring her to the retina scanner.

Stealth enthusiasts, listen up! First, we need to access the basement. Find the passcode, either from the manager’s employee number or the Wi-Fi password in the break room. With that in hand, unlock the basement door and make your way down. Keep a lookout for guards, cameras, and any unexpected surprises.
Once you’ve taken care of business in the basement, return to the manager’s office. Give her a call and use her to gain access to the workshop. It’s all about finesse and deception, my friends.
How To Get Clean Jewelry

Now, let’s talk business. Bags of jewelry can be thrown into the sorting machine’s chute on the right side. This fantastic contraption processes the loot one bag at a time, converting them into clean, untraceable jewelry. Remember, clean jewelry is worth a whole lot more than the regular stuff. Ka-ching!
Stealth Route For Dirty Ice

A stealthy approach gives us the thrill of a cat burglar and the profits of a mastermind. Here’s how to pull it off smoothly. Check the manager’s employee number in the showroom, but don’t rush. Take your time and gather valuable information.
Ready to make your move? Sneak through the left fence gate after picking the lock and silently neutralize the guard if possible. Find phones, hack everything, and gather any intel you can. Proceed to the basement, avoiding detection by using the code, QR codes, or the window entrance.
Eliminate threats in the basement, disable the security system, and crack open the safe. Time is of the essence now! Make the phone call to the manager and enter the VIP Showroom. Clean it out like a pro, and remember to use the sorting machine to process all the loot. It’s like turning coal into diamonds, but with a lot more adrenaline.
Loud Route For Dirty Ice

For those who prefer an all-guns-blazing approach or want a bigger payday, we have the loud route. Let’s make some noise! Burst into the showroom like you own the place, firing rounds at the ceiling to grab everyone’s attention. Take hostages and get ready for some action.
With the hostages under control, bring them into the workshop and start feeding the sorting machine with bags of jewelry. Remember, patience is key! Wait until all the loot is sorted before making a dramatic exit to the escape van. The helicopter is waiting to whisk us away, but beware of the cops. Their pesky presence affects the helicopter’s time on the scene. If it leaves, it will return to the dock across the street, waiting for us to complete our heist.
Now that you know the ins and outs of the Dirty Ice heist, go out there and show the world what you’re made of! Whether you choose stealth or chaos, remember to have fun and enjoy the thrilling life of a master criminal in Payday 3.
