In Payday 3, you and up to three other people play as hardened criminals going on various heists. Among these missions is No Rest for the Wicked, which is essentially a classic bank heist where you have to break into a vault and steal several bags worth of cash. One of the necessary steps in this mission is to take an executive hostage, so how exactly do you do that?

How to Grab an Executive in No Rest for the Wicked
In this heist, you’ll eventually find yourself having to find and capture an executive to open the vault. If you’ve been doing the mission with your mask off, you’ll have to put it on for this step.
First, you will want to clear the area of any guards and other civilians walking around, as you’ll need to walk around with a human shield later on.
Don’t forget to answer the radio when you take out any guards! Watch out for any cameras in the area as well. Destroy or hack them to prevent detection.
Next, you must find the manager’s office, which should be right in front of the entrance to the conference room. There will be other civilians hanging out in the meeting room, though oddly enough, they likely won’t see you through the windows.
After picking the lock on the manager’s office, the person inside will be the executive that you’re looking for. Simply take him as a human shield and walk to the vault. There, you’ll have to push him to the eye scanner.
Following this step, run back to the manager’s office and check the computer. It should reveal four different codes. Take note of these numbers, as one of them will open the vault!
Walk back to the vault and use your UV light to check the fingerprints on the keypad. Check which numbers match the possible codes, then just enter them to open the vault door.
And that’s how you grab an executive in the No Rest for the Wicked heist. After opening the vault this way, you’re pretty much close to finishing the mission and running away with a lot of cash without raising any alarms!
