When the bollards are raised, you can lower them without opening the panel's door if you aim at or near the top of the panel door.

What's the bug you were experiencing with the electrical box?

After going through the heist and securing all the loot in stealth getting detected will result in the driving away and you having to go to the rendezvous, lower the bollards, and wait etc. however when the van shows up escape won't be available only the option to bag loot, despite the fact it was all already bagged while in stealth before being detected.

The bug resolved itself after I survived a while and the police raised the bollards for a second time, and then after relowering them, the van realised the loot had been bagged and gave the option for escape.

If you wanted to recreate it then you would need to go through the heist stealth bag all the bags while the van is in the car park, get detected, have the van drive off and go loud, complete the steps for the loud escape (go to rendezvous, lower bollards etc.) and see if when the van initially arrives you have the option to escape.

I advise you to watch the clip where I used only two boxes, although I needed three.

In the title it said that the electrical box was missing from the map. I have also had the electrical box not spawn during a heist

You can turn off the roadblock boxes before opening the door by viewing a gap in the side model

I've noticed it's specificly on the left side of the powerbox near the door where you can interact with the panel without opening the door, then open the door to be able to activate it a second time. It basically allows you to skip the second box on normal, and speeds up the process above that difficulty. All the boxes do it, and it's a very consistent bug.

In stealth, after hacking the terminal and it tells you which switch to flip, if you flip the wrong one it says the cops are "Searching" without disappearing and it doesn't give the option to flip a different switch even after a while. All while the cops are maintaining their regular routes.

Description - You can turn off the electricity at the same box twice.
How to Reproduce - Turn off through the slot, open the drawer and turn off again.

Had this happen to me, though it even thusly fixed itself somewhat and allowed us to activate the bollard panel without opening the door. We had one bollard panel allow us to activate it twice somehow, which might have broken the other one.

took a minute to replicate to help the devs but at the end when the bollards need to be lower, on the side of the electrical box theres basically a pixel gap that allows you to lower a bollard before opening the box. by doing so you then can open the box and interact with it again. Doing this however will require doing the same thing again on a closed one to unsoft lock the game

On No Rest For The Wicked, if you manage to load all the bags into the van on Loud before the bollards go up a second time, you will be unable to escape until the bollards are moved down again.

This is mainly just an annoyance and quite confusing when you have all the bags loaded into the van but cannot escape.

You can turn off an electrical box for the bollards objective without opening it, then open it, and turn it off again. Both of these count for the objective. So if you need to turn off 4 of them, you realistically only need two boxes. I have a video if needed.

I was just in a match and while trying to lower the bollards we noticed that one of the boxes wouldn’t give us the prompt to open/lower it. We tried restarting out match but that didn’t help so we had to restart payday to fix it.

if you interact near the handle of the box you can turn them off then open the door and turn it off again, and this counts as doing it twice.

You can turn off the bollard controls without opening the door if you walk up to the side of them. You will be prompted to turn off rather than open.

I was able to activate a bollard panel twice which gave me an extra count in the objective (2/4 instead of 1/4)

You can lower the bollard without opening the panel.

It's already here, but doesn't explain the replication process. You can activate one bollard box twice. First, if you look through the gap between the door and the top of the box. Once you lower the bollards this way, you can open the box and lower another set of bollards with the same box

i just played on hard mode and when we were escaping we couldn't lower the roadblocks, we were at 2/3 things and there was no third one, we looked around the whole map but did not fin it.

cant really say how to do it, we just did a loud heist and when escaping there was no third energy box(forgor the name)

Knowing about the bollards exploit from the closed beta, I tried to make use of it again. The hitbox seems to be different from the closed beta in the sense there was a potential attempt at patching it, but I still managed the now pixel perfect exploit. In case someone doesn't know, don't open the bollard box and just turn it off by looking at the top from above.

The softlock occurs when the control box is disabled without opening the box. If the box needs to be disabled again to escape, there's no prompt to open the box or cheatily try and disable without opening. Thus the heist is basically over because there's no way to escape.

The electronic box that you have to disable in the first heist so the van can arrive can be activated through the side without opening the door.

If you angle your cursor so that you are looking at the crack in between the door and the box itself, you can disable the bollard without having to open the box. Additionally, if you do this and then open the box, you can disable the same bollards again (yes it counts towards the objective).

The hitbox to turn off bollards is a bit over the one to open the door

When I use the clipped hitbox it turns off and adds to the score and when I open the door it reactivates the turn off hitbox and that one adds to the score too

from what I can tell it only works in the first bollard lowering stage

Once the bollards are raised you can disable them without opening the front panel if you aim in between the crack on the side of the bollard control boxes.
