Pink Paws Heist in NTE, explained
Gameplay
Pink Paws Heist is a solo minigame that works similarly to extraction games. Load into the run, defeat enemies, loot as much as possible, and extract before the timer expires to earn rewards. Every run lasts 12 minutes and awards Fons, Paw-Paw Coins, and more.
In the bank, loot is everywhere and ranges from green to orange rarity. Loot is scattered around rooms, in shelves and safes, and drops from defeated enemies. Among enemies, anomalies glowing in orange drop more loot but are harder to defeat.
Map
The loot is random every run, but the map is the same. The bank has four floors. To move to the next floor, reach the elevator at the end of the floor and clear nearby enemies.
The four floors in the bank are the following:
- G: Reception Hall
- LG1: Office Floor
- LG2: Collection Floor
- LG3: Vault Floor
The Reception Hall is the entrance to the bank. It has a few rooms, and while it can spawn useful items, it’s generally useless. The Office Floor has a lot of lootables and multiple secret bosses that drop decent loot. In the Collection Room, there are way more orange enemies, making it generally the best for looting. Lastly, the Vault Floor contains multiple vaults and is your ultimate goal.
Vaults and keycards
Each vault on the Vault Floor requires a corresponding access card. The access cards can spawn anywhere and are either purple or gold. Purple cards access vaults with minimal loot, while gold cards access vaults with tens of thousands of Fons worth of loot. There are also keycards for different locked rooms across the bank.
The grand vault at the end of the Vault Floor requires a Chaotic Core alongside the access card. Chaotic Core is the giant cube in the middle of the Collection Floor. To get it, activate and defeat the four knights standing around the barrier.
Most importantly, you can extract with access cards and the Chaotic Core instead of using them in the same run. After extracting with a card, you automatically bring it into consecutive runs and keep them even after failing.
Extraction
After you gather enough loot, use any of the glowing red booths to extract. If the booth isn’t glowing, it means the extraction is closed. The longer you stay, the more extraction points will close, and if you fail to extract, you lose all your loot.
Best Pink Paws Heist routes in NTE
Because the runs only last 12 minutes, there’s often not enough time to find the access cards, reach the Vault Floor, and extract with loot. This is why you can dedicate a run to either scavenging loot and access cards or opening and looting vaults.
The scavenging run is all about collecting as much loot as possible and gathering keycards for the vault run. After spawning, head to the Collection Floor while picking up loot on the Office Floor. Target orange enemies and scavenge as much as possible before extracting.
- The route looks like this: Skip the Reception Hall, grab easy-to-reach items on the Office Floor, loot the Collection Floor, and extract.
Once you have enough access cards (and a Chaotic Core if needed), do a vault run. Immediately head to the Vault Floor and begin opening vaults to have enough time to extract. This is especially important if you’re going for the main vault, as there’s another boss for you to fight.
- The route looks like this: Head to the Vault Floor, loot vaults, loot Collection Floor if there’s time, and extract.
You can only earn up to 1,000,000 Fons per week from Pink Paws Heist, so don’t waste access cards if you’re about to go over the limit.
