Payday 3 is here, bringing a new roster of high-risk, high-reward missions to new players and fans of the series alike. Across several of the heist missions, players will need to find and hack a smartphone to gain access to certain locks and rooms, including the VIP Showroom in the Dirty Ice mission.
When casing the Ashton Fine Jewelry store in Payday 3, players will need to get their hands on a QR code that will grant them access to the store's outside alley doors and the VIP Showroom inside. The QR code will need to be copied from a phone found around the store, and while these locations do randomize each time players launch the Dirty Ice mission, there are a set number of spawn locations that players can quickly check to find a code. Typically, three separate phones will be available to find across every heist run.
First, a phone can be found in the alley behind Ashton Fine. From the front of the jewelry store, head left and pick the lock on the fence blocking off the alley behind the store. The phone will be on the ground of the alley beside the passenger door of the parked car. This phone does not spawn in every heist attempt, but is incredibly useful for gaining access to the jewelry store without masking up.
Players will also be able to find a phone in the lunchroom in one of two possible locations: either on the table just inside the window that can be cut, or on the counter in the back right corner. There is typically a phone in one of these two locations in every heist attempt that players will be able to copy.
The final room that players want to check is the manager's office. Located in the middle of the store across the hall from the VIP Showroom's back entrance, the manager's office will always have a phone inside that can be copied and used to unlock the VIP Showroom. Players will want to check the manager's desk under the hackable monitor for the first spawn location. If it's not here, check the sofa in the corner of the office closest to the lunchroom/main lobby, a phone can spawn on the left edge of the seat. Finally, if not found in the other two locations, a phone can spawn on the kitchenette counter in the office next to the coffee pot.
Payday 3 is available now on PC, Playstation, and Xbox.
