The Heist mode, also mentioned as the Escort mode, is a cut game mode from Counter-Strike: Source, that was being developed in 2006.[1]
A reference to the game mode can be found in the keyvalues of func_bomb_target brush entity in Source SDK.[2] This keyvalue is not working, but once fixed and enabled, it allows the bomb to be planted on the wall.
The maps for the mode can be discovered in the 2023 Source developer asset repository leak.[3]
Overview[]
The round winning conditions in the Heist mode for the two teams are:
- Counter-Terrorists
- Escort the APC to the escape zone.
- Defuse the C4 after it has been planted.
- Eliminate all Terrorists before the C4 is planted.
- Terrorists
- Plant the C4 explosive on the APC and run down its countdown without the Counter-Terrorists defusing it.
- Eliminate all Counter-Terrorists.
Gameplay[]
The Heist mode is a combination of Assassination and Bomb Defusal modes; It revolves around an APC, which travels along a certain route to the escape zone and is not controlled by the player. Counter-Terrorists can win the round by escorting the APC to the escape zone, while the Terrorists must plant the bomb on the side of the APC and ensure detonation of the explosive. When a Terrorist stands next to the APC or the bomb is planted, the vehicle stops. The secondary objective, which also secures a victory for either team, is to eliminate all members of the opposing team (however, if the bomb is already planted and all Terrorists are eliminated the round does not end until the bomb is defused or detonated).
Counter-Terrorists may purchase a "defusal kit" that halves the time needed for bomb defusal, taking 5 seconds instead of 10. Once the bomb is defused, the APC will continue moving and the round will go on until the vehicle reaches the escape zone or one of the teams is eliminated.
Maps[]
Heist maps are prefixed with ht_ and es_.

Trivia[]
- There was a similar mode released in Counter-Strike Online called Battle Rush where about Counter-Terrorists had to escort and protect a captured Terrorist leader that was being extracted to a nearby airfield. The mode is a PvPvE mode (Player vs Player vs Environment) where players are still divided into CTs and Ts, where the former are tasked to destroy blocked pathway with C4s and ensure the extraction successful while Ts are to free their leader by "defusing" two of the chains that tie the leader. Both of the teams have special Bots that use rifles and grenade launchers, and players are able to use Mounted Machine Guns that are placed at certain spots in the map.
