The most I've got from Framing Frame was ~$17,000,000.
There's a trick to it - the trick is having the right skills: Smooth Talker, Body Bags, and Intimidating. Preferably spread over more than one guy to save silly grinding.
In the first part with the art exhibit, kill 4 guards away from the cameras - the first two pagers can be answered by anyone, but the 3rd and 4th
must be answered by whoever has Smooth Talker. If there are any guards left, either intimidate them into cuffing themselves (or convert them, if you have the skill. Doesn't matter.) or just have someone watching them so you can just sneak around. Have whoever has body bags bag up the corpses and transported somewhere safe, like the roof.
Bust all the cameras - I only found out yesterday that broken cameras
do not matter so long as a guard doesn't see them.
Then just sneak out with the paintings. Easy.
The second day is cake anyway, no strategy here just rush the money bags through to the car and leave.
On the final day, there are a guaranteed 5 guards (so far as I've seen anyway). That means 4 kills, one intimidate/convert to do. Having two or more guys is really helpful here, as having one guy sitting on the cameras and shuffling through to mark all the guards will make a world of difference.
Same as day one - bust all the cameras, kill the guards one by one and answer their pagers with Smooth Talker. Then bag them up and hide them somewhere safe - like an opened closet room or the vault exterior. Even the roof if you have the time.
Once the guards and cameras are all busted it's a straight shot to the finish - just have one guy in the vault and the other manning the laser grid controls. The laser grid beeps loudly when it's about to come back on, so bagging the gold and getting out is a piece of cake.
Using this method my friends and I pulled off an (almost) perfect Pro Overkill Framing Frame with a reward of 17 million plus yesterday. We probably would've got more if we didn't screw up on the first section and have to leave with only 7 paintings and 1 crew member alive.
The Elephant's missions are certainly incredibly rewarding for full stealth, and cripplingly punishing for a screw up, let me tell you...
We're going to have another go at Overkill Big Oil today, we got absolutely frustrated at it yesterday. If we do it I'll be sure to post whether it was worth the hassle.
