Steal Millions Of ISK In EVE Online’s ‘The Grand Heist’ Event, Now Live On The Test Server

EVE Online meets *insert your favorite heist movie or series here* in The Grand Heist event that’s coming to New Eden later this month. As part of the event, players will get the chance to steal up to 2 million ISK from multiple ESS Reserve Banks across the game universe.

“To acquire the extremely coveted reserve bank keys, you will not be able to simply ask the SCC to hand them over. Instead, your plan should be to locate and trespass into the SCC’s secure key storage sites hidden throughout low security space to get your hands on a key, and these sites will be guaranteed to always have a key inside. There are certain restrictions to ship numbers and class that will be allowed into one of these sites, but that challenge will ensure that only Capsuleers who show patience and skill will be able to pull off the heist. The reward is significant, so be prepared and good luck!”

Players will need SCC keys to unlock the reserve banks and begin transferring funds to their cargo holds. Once a reserve bank is unlocked, other ships within a 10km radius from the structure will also be able to transfer funds until the bank is locked down. This poses an additional challenge as anyone who happens to be near the area can easily steal your haul or shoot you down on the spot if your defenses are not up to par.

The event is now live on the Singularity test server and will be rolling out on the live servers in late July. More information about The Grand Heist event can be found on the EVE Online official site.
