During one of Grand Theft Auto Online's Casino Heist missions, one player shot a guard to death who proceeded to die in the most dramatic fashion. Rockstar Games introduced GTA Online's Diamond Casino Heist a couple of years ago in a December 2019 update. The content release most notably tasked players with sneaking into the Diamond Casino & Resort to execute an elaborate heist at the behest of the casino's former owners, the Cheng family.
To the delight of many a player, the Diamond Casino Heist brought fresh mechanics to heist gameplay, which especially proved useful since the Diamond Casino & Resort counts among the most secure locales in all of Los Santos. The heist received another jolt of excitement this past spring when Rockstar launched a limited-time update that added new riches to the Diamond Casino vault. It's clear the casino-based content continues to draw players in, something the building's guards aren't too thrilled about.
In the middle of a GTA Online Casino Heist, Reddit user Lehmamies9 came face-to-face with a few guards determined to put a stop to the criminal activity. One, in particular, took his job very seriously, so much so that even his death came across as incredibly dramatic. After taking a shotgun blast to the torso, the casino guard in question dropped to his knees, then swayed back and forth for several seconds before finally toppling over in a dramatic display fit for stage acting. Commenters in the Reddit thread compared the scene to a certain death at the end of Red Dead Redemption. Get a good look at the guard's final moments below:
Strange, inexplicable happenings are a common occurrence in the world of GTA Online. As such, the Diamond Casino secuity guard's theatrical death in the video above counts as but another odd instance of in-game chaos. At the very least, this guard will be remembered in a way that his similarly murdered colleagues will not.
Nearly a decade after its launch, GTA Online continues to receive ongoing support from the crew at Rockstar Games. It seems that won't cease anytime soon; however, a recent report claims future GTA Online updates may suffer minor delays due to the studio using extra internal resources to fix the myriad issues currently plaguing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition.
Grand Theft Auto Online is available to play now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
