Introduction

This guide was created to help players move the warheads & loot faster in the Meltdown Heist.

The Heist

Meltdown.

The Process

Step One

Once you've located the Vault, Locate a forklift (there is usually one close by if the vault is inside the building) and place it just outside of the crate doors heading towards the exit.
(As seen below)

Step Two

Once the vault has opened and you've placed the Forklift, you'll need to throw the first 3 bags onto the forks as you normally would and then throw the rest of the loot onto the forks making sure none are touching the ground or hanging from the forks and they're all resting as the set bags are.
(As seen below the warhead is one of the bags not set correctly)

Step Three

If the warheads or additional loot is loaded onto the Forklift, you’ll have to drive at a medium - slow speed for the forklift so that the loot bags physics don't cause them to fall off, this issue can happen when turning too fast.

Tips & The Need To Know

Tips/Information

Driving too fast will result in:
(A) Bags flying off of the front.
(B) Misplacement of the bags (see next point)
Misplacement of the bags will result in:
(A) Bags falling through the forks and under the forklift (this can cause the forklift to get stuck)
(B) Stuttering when driving and this can cause you to either get downed when outside or accidental loss of loot due to movement speed.
Communication is key when using this method as the below point, marks out that 1 player must be keeping an eye out on any loot that has dropped from the forklift, Now due to this method usually working on only the hosts connection bags may appear that they aren't actually on the forklift when in fact they are so every couple of metres make sure to check if any bags have fallen off through your vision and tell your teammate that the bag on their screen is okay to pick up.
If you're playing with a group of four friends make sure one person will be driving (you) and the rest are defending the forklift (you) or watching if any bags have fallen off.
I do suggest only using this method up until the Longfellow and instead of parking it in front of the red crate, move the Forklift and the Longfellow to the carpark just outside of the gate as no law enforcement officers will move outside of the compound.

Conclusion

Hopefully I've helped a few people whether you're a new player or old complete this heist faster than you have previously & gained a few achievements as well.

If I have then please feel free to leave a rating on the guide and leave some comments, questions and or your thoughts in the comments section!

HAPPY HEISTING

I play this mission on Mayhem difficulty, but I can't find keys for forklift.

this more for people to get the achievement for not using the longfellow and wanting the mask

What I'm trying to say here - with all that difference in supporting effort, it's easier to get multiple forklifts to the "longfellow offload zone" than it is to get one fully loaded forklift.

And if you are not using the longfellow at all, it gets even worse.

Rushing past a swat van turret in a 3-bagged forklift is WAAAAY easier than escorting one fully loaded and slow moving forklift around it.

"This guide was created to bring knowledge to those players who play the Meltdown Heist and either have low knowledge of the game or haven't found this workaround/tip/."

Workaround? Tip?

This is an exploit. If the dev team intended all the loot to be deliverable in one vehicle it wouldn't have had any limitations in the first place.

That aside, I find the efficiency of this approach questionable.

1) You don't need more than one guy in a longfellow (as long as that one guy knows what he is doing and isn't build out of paper).
2) You can't rush more than 4 bags per "run" in it,
3) You have 3 more people and a ton of time while the longfellow driver does his runs.
4) Driving faster is safer.

Mabye you could add a part about moving all loot in 1 trip with the longfellow, Place 4 in back and throw the rest through the windscreen and ur done :D, Amazing guide though.
