Players team up with the mysterious Mr. Faber and his fixer, Raf De Angelis, to plan and execute this carefully orchestrated museum robbery - with multiple approaches and escape routes available, as well as custom loadouts.
Players can launch Prep Missions from the Planning Board located inside the Art Studio, or by calling Raf De Angelis via the phone menu in Freemode
