Think like a security chief, not a vault raider. In Tactical Grid: Heist Security, you plan a defense on a blueprint-style grid, placing cameras, motion sensors, guards, and laser tripwires to catch thieves before they crack the vault. Each device works differently, so smart coverage matters more than simply filling every square. Watch your budget, study the walls and entrances, then run the simulation to see whether your setup holds. This tactical game blends security strategy with path planning across three increasingly challenging blueprints. Ready to build a better defense?

How to Play Tactical Grid: Heist Security
1. Choose a blueprint and inspect its walls, entrances, vault location, and available budget. Thieves will navigate around walls toward the vault, so look for the routes they are most likely to take.
2. Select a camera, motion sensor, guard, or laser from the bottom toolbar. Click or tap an open grid square to place it. You can't build on walls, entrances, or the vault, and every device costs part of your budget.
3. Click a placed device to rotate its facing direction when applicable. Use SELL, then select a device if you want to remove it and reclaim some money.
4. Choose RUN SIMULATION to test your layout. Watch the alerts and intruders to see where your coverage succeeds or fails. Switch between 1X and 2X speed, or select ABORT SIM to return to planning.
5. Stop every thief before the vault is cracked to win. If your defense fails, choose TWEAK & RETRY to keep your setup and make changes. After a victory, check your budget rating and continue to the next blueprint.
Tips & Tricks for Tactical Grid: Heist Security
Cover routes, not just empty spaces. Place cameras where their viewing cones can watch a long approach, and rotate them to face likely paths. Use motion sensors to detect movement in areas a camera can't reliably cover. A well-placed laser can block a narrow corridor, while a guard can pursue threats that slip through your fixed defenses.
Keep some budget in reserve so you can adjust after a test run. Pay attention to the number of entrances and the timing of incoming thieves; one strong chokepoint may not protect against several routes. If a thief reaches the vault, use the alert and path layout to identify the gap, then move or sell equipment instead of resetting everything.
