Weapons / Loadout
Primary+Secondary weapon: (Akimbo) Heather SMG from this guide.
Armor: Lightweight Ballistic Vest -- same concealment, more armor
Throwable: Hacker's Pocket ECM
Melee: Doesn't matter, something quick to charge to hit-restart drills

Strategy
When you spawn, run forward to place a drill. If the RNG makes a drill that DOES NOT repair itself (indicated in purple color in Vanilla+ HUD) then RESTART until you get a self-repairable drill.

Hide in the further corner of the big room on the left. Let the AI kill bulldozers and wait for the drill to finish. Cloakers will keep breaking it, just wait.

Help your downed AI, because it takes them much longer to heal each other. Kill cloakers yourself, they'll just spawn inside the room.

There are 8-9 bulldozers max and many, many cloakers outside. There's no point in killing them and wasting ammo yourself.

(Needs confirmation - Vanilla+ HUD shows so) You lose Copycat's +20% dodge bonus if you are crouched. Don't crouch.

When the drill finishes, use your first pocket ECM to get out of the room while sprinting into the opened vault. You may carry out the first money bag by yourself, there will be no enemies yet on the second floor. Return, by that time AI should be out of the hiding room. Throw the 3 money bags to your AI (they pick it up and carry on their bags) and run upstairs. The AI should have no issue following you and carrying the money bags.

Deliver the money bags to the van. Remember, you must return to the upstairs room to escape. Wait for a pocket ECM if unsure, to add to Bulldozers, cloakers will be already there. However they are not affected by ECM feedback effect (stun).

Successful run time: ~10min. Total time needed: 30-40min depending on how well you do.

Waiting for the drill:

For me as multiplayer enjoyer this is solo. Compare "solo without AI"

Just Passing Through
Complete the Hostile Takeover job in stealth within 7 minutes on solo, or 4 minutes on multiplayer, on the OVERKILL difficulty and above without killing any civilians.
