Please do something about camping in BP garden, there’s always like 10-15 Grenadier Guards camping. One gg legit posted a vid on YouTube where they were camping in the garden waiting for civilians to come and do the BP heist https://youtu.be/8M1v_-BAWIg?si=Kapuu1GApIc6qOPv.
God forbid storming Buckingham Palace is incredibly difficult. It’s a high risk high reward heist.
Spreading the paintings through the palace seems like the best compromise but its literally the job of GG/RMP to protect Buckingham Palace in its entirety. They are not going to ignore that when say there has already been multiple attempts, of course they are going to post there.

Prepare for an entourage of backlash…..
Gonna be purely honest: paintings should be abit more spread out in BP, so this includes having a few paintings spread out across all three levels, on all sides.
So for example North East 2nd level has 5 paintings, South East has 3rd level a few aswell. Then your traditional east/main gallery. Counters the campers since more variety of area to cover, limiting the ability for those officers that seek joy of protecting the palace!
Grenadier Guards Officer here.
I apologise that our division is stopping you from making money, but unfortunately for all Civilians we aren’t just going to stand around and let you steal government property.
Our main duty is protecting the Palace, this includes from Heists.
I’d also like to let you know ‘camping’ a location is not a Moderation or any other offense, unless it is Spawn Camping to kill someone.
In short, GG will continue doing their duties, if you have an issue, feel free to make an RG Enquiry and we will happily answer you.

Honestly though, sure GG and RMP should be patrolling around but its abit excessive for infantry soldiers deployed to literally be standing in the room for ages, sometimes over 15-30 mins or even hours. Even with no heist for the last hour, they just afk there to prevent all attempts. Usually, it’s with officers alongside possible ORs and not during actual deployments. Please stop allowing them to do this, it’s just annoying and there’s no actual reason to camp for unnecessarily long time and going afk in full infantry equipment with insane armour.
Tons of people concentrated in one room/area also shouldnt be allowed, its just annoying and too overkill.
I absolutely agree with @Maksimje8’s point especially regarding this and the spread of paintings. It’s not the Grenadiers or whoever’s fault for being there if their commandant has asked them to do so, we don’t really get the authority to decline.
However it is an issue that cannot be fixed, you cannot ban them from responding to combat incidents in the Back Garden. Of course it would be nice not to, though you should think strategically as to when to do the BP heist, especially when infantry units are deployed.
There are other entrances that can be taken, you just have to think critically and realise when it’s the best time to do so - you have to imagine that the payout of this heist is the best in the game right now associated to risk too, you’re not supposed to win big every time. Also if you’re thinking on a realistic basis, you’re raiding the most prestigious location in the game, of course it’s not going to be easy when you’re in our jurisdiction.
sounds a bit like an issue with skill tbh. if you see GG on just dont do the heist as they are going to protect the palace.
If we apply just a teeny tiny bit of critical thinking:
For Grenadiers to be deployed in combats in such a large quantity, the raids must have been constant. Deployed infantry units, believe it or not, will protect the area they’re assigned to.
More importantly, how do you intend to “fix” this? To bar combat units from tactically preparing for combat..? Be more strategic and tactical yourself. They’re there; why not use any other entry method?
no this doesnt make sense, it’s supposed to be an hard heist. 5 paintings will give you around 15/20k of profit depending on what server you are doing it in, even more if you only take big paintings in the 75 players server
so why make this easier, i also like arresting criminals who do this heist

I agree, I think that RMP and GG should have like a limit on how long they are allowed within a area of the paintings at a time as the camping needs to stop, RMP and RG are obviously going to disagree but it is like us holding every ladder at gun point during a raid, like it is basicly unfair for u guys and does not give u a chance to do anything
I disagree, GG just tuff

What I would agree to fix this is add like a limit of MPS to the vicinity of the painting room and if more enter they start taking ticks of 10%.
