Breaking the Bank at Caligula's is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by San Fierro Triads leader Wu Zi Mu from The Four Dragons Casino, located along The Strip in Las Venturas, San Andreas.

Mission

Carl arrives at The Four Dragons Casino, dressed as a Caligula's employee, to meet Woozie and the crew in preperation for the heist. The team get into a Securicar and head towards Caligula's Palace, whilst Carl makes his own way there. On the way, Zero asks Carl if he can hear him on his earpiece, with Carl replying that he can.

Carl enters the casino and uses Millie's swipe card to gain access to the lower floors of the casino. Carl heads into the generator room, where he throws a Tear Gas canister into an air vent, which lands outside the safe and knocks out two security guards.

Zero activates the charges Carl placed at the Sherman Dam, which blacks out the casino. Carl uses night vision goggles and makes his way to the service bay. He uses a Forklift to open the garage door and allow Woozie and the team to enter. The team head towards the safe whilst fighting their way through the security guards. Once at the safe, Zero announces that someone (whilst continually cursing Berkley) is trying to restore the power using the backup generators. Carl heads back to the generator room and blows up the backup generators.

The Triads open the safe using satchel charges and enter to steal the money. Whilst the Triads are in the safe, Carl protects them from incoming Mafioso. Once the team have collected the money, Carl leads the team back to the Securicar whilst fighting the security guards. During the firefight, the power is restored and Zero once again curses Berkley. When the team reach the service bay, they load the money into the Securicar and leave the casino escorted by two members using police bikes.

Carl, acting as the decoy, must make his way to the casino roof. He does so, fighting off more Mafioso, and enters the roof to find the casino surrounded by police. Carl collects a Parachute and jumps off the roof. Once he lands, he escapes from the police and meets the team at the Verdant Meadows airstrip. At the airstrip, Zero admits to Carl that he informed Berkley about the heist, with Carl retaliating by punching Zero in the face. Woozie orders Carl to "calm down" before asking Carl to drive him back to the Four Dragons Casino. Following the mission, an angry Salvatore Leone phones Carl and makes various threats to Carl and his family. Carl taunts Salvatore about the heist and hangs up.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

Enter the Mafia Casino
Find and open the swipecard door
Toss a smoke grenade into the air vent
Find the swipecard door and open it
Head down to the service bay
Use the forklift to open the roller door
Clear the corridors of security so the team can reach the vault
Follow the team down to the vault
Destroy the back up generators
Head downstairs and check on the team
Enter the Safe
Kill the Mafia whilst the team gets the cash
Lead the team safely back to the van
Get to the service elevator - remember, you are the decoy
Get onto the roof
Follow the rooftops and collect the parachute
Parachute off and escape in the helicopter
Escape to the safe house.

Note

If Carl fails the parachute jump to the helicopter, the mission is not a failure; instead, Carl simply needs to jack a vehicle and drive it to Verdant Meadows, while being pursued by the enemy helicopters. If the player has a wanted level of three-stars or fewer, they can escape the police by outrunning them.

Reward

The rewards for this mission are $100,000 and an increase in respect. The Croupier Outfit Carl wears becomes available from his wardrobe, although it serves no purpose after this mission.

Trivia

The Forklift is a unique yellow color but is unobtainable without cheats/hacks.
When the Triads jump on the police bikes, their character model is replaced by the standard police biker, resulting in the Triads suddenly turning African-American.
Carl steals four police bikes in Cop Wheels, but only two bikes are used in the heist.
It is extremely hard to land the parachute onto the roof of The Clown's Pocket with conventional means. Most players make the mistake of jumping off the roof then pulling the chute straight away and end up landing short of the roof, requiring them to make their own way back. The trick to making it onto the roof is jumping off the roof of Caligula's Palace and holding forward on the analog stick, or W if they're on a PC, for a few moments, rather than pulling the parachute immediately.
The skydiving in this mission is different. When jumping from the roof, if you hold the forward button, you will glide instead of the usual skydiving. After doing this different skydiving, whenever you jump off a building or a vehicle with a parachute and immediately hold the forward button, you will skydive in the same exclusive manner. However, if you do not immediately hold the forward button and do it after a few seconds, you will skydive in the traditional manner (tested in the PC version).
It is possible to jump into the vent that Carl throws the tear gas into. If the player does so, they will appear in the Hidden Interiors Universe.
Despite Carl promising to split his share of the heist with Millie Perkins, there is no evidence he does so.
No matter what hair style you have before the mission, when you start the mission it will be the default one at the start of the game. After the mission is completed, Carl's hairstyle and clothing reverts to what it was before the mission started. The clothing isn't returned if it was changed during the mission, it will remain as in the mission.
As with previous missions in the Heist strand, the game writers assumed the player will have completed the Zero missions by this point. Any player who has not yet done so may be confused by the references to Berkeley.
The mission is noticeably similar to the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, as by looking into the characters and their plot, one can suggest the it might be an inspiration of the mission itself.
This mission has the longest name of any in the game, with a total of 27 characters and the second longest in the 3D Universe (The Portland Chainsaw Masquerade in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is the longest, with 29 characters). The mission has the third longest name in the series behind Grand Theft Auto IV's I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle, which has 43 characters.
Players following the BradyGames Official Strategy Guide may be puzzled by its recommendation that Carl obtain adrenaline to assist in this and other heist-related missions; the book even shows numerous pick-up locations around the city. The guide was evidently based upon an early version of the game, as the final version omits this pick-up.
The explosives used to blow up the safe door do not harm the player.
This mission is not required to complete the storyline, and can be completed after the final mission.

-The day has come for them to pull a heist at [[Caligula's Palace]]. The entire team, minus Carl, gets into the [[Securicar|van]] and departs. Carl, dressed as a casino employee, goes and gets a car of his own, and heads for Caligula's. On the way, Zero tests if Carl can hear him on his earpiece, who confirms a clear connection.

He then uses a [[forklift]] to open the garage door, in which Woozie and the rest of the team arrive. They then head for the safe, all while trying to wipe out the security in their way. Once in the safe, Zero says that [[Berkley|someone]] is trying to bring the emergency system back on. As a result, Carl blows up the generators to inactivate the system for good.

-The safe door is then blown up by the Triads in order access the safe and get the cash. But then, the Mafia are alerted, and head for the safe room, in where Carl kills them. Once the team has gotten the cash, Carl leads the team back to the van, helping them get rid of the Mafiosos blocking the way. Once they have reached the van, everybody, except Carl, hops on the van and the [[HPV-1000|police bikes]].

-Carl is left alone, because he is the decoy. He fights his way through more mafia thugs, and catches an elevator to the roof. He then makes his way across the slanted roof, in where there is a parachute waiting. He straps up, jumps off the roof, and lands on the roof of [[The Clown's Pocket]], just north of Caligula's. Carl then gets into a [[Police Maverick]] and flies to [[Verdant Meadows]], in where the team is waiting. Once there, Carl punches Zero, who is responsible for making the heist a little harder, and takes Woozie back to the Four Dragons Casino. A furious [[Salvatore Leone]] calls making threats against Carl, CJ taunts Salvatore before the call ends.
