In Path of Exile 3.28 (Mirage), Heist received significant buffs to its Atlas Passive Tree, making it possible to guarantee a Smuggler's Cache in every map. This update is considered a major buff for players looking to farm Contracts and Blueprints directly from mapping.

Strategy Tips
- League Start Currency: Heist is highly recommended for early league currency because it provides raw chaos, stacked decks, and valuable gems without requiring a high-budget build.
- Boss Rushing Integration: You can combine Heist with a "Boss Rush" strategy. Rush to the Smuggler's Caches, grab the contracts, and then head straight to the map boss for Maven witnessing.
- Full Reveals: While fully revealed Blueprints can be worth a lot, most of your profit will come from selling bulk Deception contracts or running high-tier Blueprints for Replica Uniques like Replica Alberon's Warpath.
