Crew Modes
Your main objective is to recruit all 5 crew members pull off the Big Final Heist. Each crew member corresponds to one of the major shots. The modes are qualified by hitting the corresponding shot 1 time, then the mode is started by hitting the shot a second time. Each mode is timed. At the end of each mode, the corresponding scoop will rise up and you can collect the MacGuffin for that crew member. If you fail a mode, that character will be put in jail and will no longer be available as a mode. If you have collected enough donuts, you can bribe the police and avoid being put in jail.
Wheelman - Willie Burnett. You steal Mr. Big’s Car and need to escape. The mode requires hitting a sequence of 3 shots.

Shoot left scoop to collect MacGuffin (Mr. Big’s Police Radio)
Cat Burglar - Kat Burgess. This is a 3 phase mode. The mode starts with the ball being picked up by the crane and suspended over the playfield. In phase 1, you need to hit 4 shots: left orbit, left ramp, right ramp and right orbit. Phase 2 the scoop lifts for the MacGuffin, and the crane is lowered so the ball can be dislodged. Hit the ball to enter the final phase. If the timer expires during this phase, the ball is dropped and you proceed to the next phase. Phase 3 is a 2 ball multiball where you are trying to escape. 3 shots are lit. randomly, one is the escape route and will remove the ball from play and finish the mode.

Running heists
Mastermind - Maggie Machado is a special crew member that is not available until you have collected at least 2 crew members. Once you have 2 or more crew members, you can qualify mastermind via the left horseshoe. The level of the heist depends on the number of crew members

2 Amethyst amethyst

3 ?

4 ?
In the first phase of the heist, there will be one shot lit corresponding to each member of the crew working the job. Hitting the crew member shot twice will add a ball, when all shots made you progress to the second phase. TODO: second phase. Failing the heist will put Maggie into Jail.
Breaking out of Jail
There are 2 ways to break out of jail. On the icon of each character in jail you will see a series of bars. Each time you hit the corresponding shot it will remove one of those bars. When all bars are broken, the character escapes.
The second method is Jail Break Multiball. Shoot the OCPD gate to qualify Jail Break Multiball. When started, you will play an N+1 ball multiball where N is the number of crew members in Jail. There will be a shot corresponding to each character, when hit the ball will be removed from play and that crew member will have successfully broken out of jail. When you are down to 1 ball through any combination of escaping or draining, the multiball is over.
Side Jobs
Side jobs are quick little modes. You qualify a side job by hitting the side targets. When they are all collected, the crane will come out. Hitting the crane will lit a side job at the OCPD building. Completing a side job will immediately qualify the corresponding character for their mode.

Hack the planet (Hacker). The ball will be caught on the right most scoop above of the upper right flipper and one of the other scoops will rise. Hit when the ball is released, shoot the scoop with the upper flipper.
-
Cross Town Traffic (Wheelman). The ball will be caught on the right most scoop over the upper right flipper. The ball will be released and you need to hit the loop. The ball will again be caught. Repeat this one more time. Finally, the scoop will stop catching the ball and you try to hit as many loops in a row as possible.
-
Crane Kaboom (Demolition). The crane will come out and you bash it as many times as you can in a limited time.
-
I don’t remember the name (Safecracker). Shoot the ball under the upper right flipper and catch it.
Multiballs
Crane Multiball
To qualify, collect cash. You can collect cash by hitting the ATM targets, or shooting into the raised scoop when the armored car comes by. Once you have enough money, the multiball will be lit on the right ramp. This multiball can be stacked will mode and police multiball.
The first phase, the crane will hold one of the balls. Dislodge the ball to start the multiball. In the second phase, both ramps are lit for jackpots and the crane will occasionally lower and be available as a bash toy. When enough hits to the crane are made, the crane will be destroyed and the jackpots will be worth double.
Police Multiball
Lit locks by hitting the police standups. When both are qualified, the left and right horseshoe will be lit for locks. Repeat for locks 2 and 3 to start multiball. Multiball can be stacked with modes and crane multiball.
Police multiball contains several phases of increasing value. Phase 1. The left horseshoe and right horseshoe are lit for jackpots. Once you hit both jackpots, the jail will be lit for Advance, increasing the jackpot and moving to the next phase.
The Big Heist
Collect all crew members to start the Big Final Heist will be lit in the Jail.
There is one phase for each character. The first 3 phases (Wheelman, Hacker and Demolition) occur in the order you qualified the characters. If you earned the MacGuffin for the character, it will assist you in the mode. Failing a phase will arrest the associated character. But if you break them out, you can restart the BFH.
Wheelman. You are required to make 3 turns through the street. For each turn, 3 shots will be marked indicated. One is the shot you are required to turn make and the other 2 are police. If you have the MacGuffin, it will reveal which is the turn and which is the police. Shooting the police will start a 10 second timer to make the turn or you will fail the mode and be arrested. Shooting the turn will advance to the next turn.
Hacker. Phase 1 you have 15 seconds to hit the crane. You have 60 seconds to complete 8 shots (or 4 if you have the MacGuffin).
Demolition. In the first phase, you need to active 3 switches. The crane will come out and position itself over the switch. You have 10 seconds to hit the crane. Once all 3 switches are activated, 30 seconds to detonate the explosives. You must shoot either orbit to detonate the explosives. If you have the MacGuffin it is one shot, otherwise it takes 3 shots.
Cat Burglar. In this mode the scoop walls will be raised. Step 1, you have 15 seconds to hit the crane, and then the scoop wall will open and you have 10 seconds to shoot the scoop. In step 2, the ball will feed to your flipper, a scoop will open and you one chance to shoot the open scoop (well, actually there is a small grace period you might get a second chance). Once you complete 4 shots you complete the mode. The MacGuffin will drop more walls, giving you a larger target to shoot.
Safe Cracker. Step 1, you need to make 6 shots (? if you have the MacGuffin). There is a 15 second timer, that resets whenever you have a shot. In step 2, you need to hit the side loop. You can feed the shot at the upper flipper by hitting any of the shots that can capture the ball (anything by right ramp). After making the side loop, the jail will open and shoot the jail to finish the stage.
15 Car Monte This is a 15 ball multiball that lasts 60 seconds and done not finish when you drain down to 1 ball. There are 5 shots to hit. Once they are complete, the side loop is lit for the final shot. Completing this shot will finish the game. If you fail, all 6 members of the crew will be put in jail.
