To do the Kortz Center Heist fingerprint hack, interact with the correct keypad, then match four partial fingerprint pieces on the left to the target print on the right by looking for distinctive shapes such as curls, isolated curves, and triangle-like ridge patterns.
The fingerprint hack is a visual copying minigame during the Kortz Center Heist door-security flow. You are not solving a code by guesswork; you are finding the same ridge shapes on both sides of the screen and choosing the fragments that belong to the main print.

Where the Kortz Center fingerprint hack appears
The hack starts from an interactable door/security keypad during the Kortz Center Heist objective chain. Check the keypads at the doors until one lets you interact, then the screen changes to the fingerprint-copying minigame.
This is not the vault keypad. The vault puzzle uses a separate blue-node memory pattern, while this keypad hack asks you to match fingerprint fragments against a main print.
The in-heist path can put the keypad around the CCTV server-room access or the laser-room security office route, but the task on the screen is the same: copy the fingerprint before moving deeper into security.
How to match the four fingerprint components in GTA Online
Use the target print on the right as your reference, then solve the left-side fragments by matching one distinctive ridge shape at a time.
STEP 1/6
Count the four fragments
The hack needs four partial fingerprint components from the left that match the main fingerprint on the right.
STEP 2/6
Pick one identifying mark
Start with one left-side fragment and look for its most recognizable ridge shape instead of trying to read the whole print at once.
STEP 3/6
Match the candy-cane curl
A twirly, candy-cane-shaped ridge is easy to place because it lines up with the same curl in the middle of the target print.
STEP 4/6
Use isolated curves for edge pieces
A small curve sitting by itself usually points you toward the outer area of the main fingerprint.
STEP 5/6
Repeat the shape search
Work through each remaining fragment by hunting for its strongest visual clue, such as a curl, side mark, or triangle-like ridge.
STEP 6/6
Skip a slow match and return
If one fragment does not jump out quickly, move to another obvious shape first and come back once the print is less cluttered.
Find the weirdest ridge first: curls, lone curves, and triangle-like marks are faster to match than normal fingerprint lines.

Fingerprint shapes that reveal the match
| Shape to look for | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Candy-cane or twirly ridge | Scan the middle and curved sections of the target print for the same spiral-like turn. |
| Small isolated curve | Check the outside of the main print, where loose side marks are easier to spot. |
| Triangle-like ridge shape | Look for sharp ridge angles instead of smooth fingerprint flow. |
| Outside-edge curve | Match it against the outer contour before checking the busier center. |
| Ridge flow direction | Make sure the lines bend the same way; similar shapes can still be wrong if the flow flips. |
The fastest way through the fingerprint hack is to stop treating each fragment like a full fingerprint. Look for the one mark that makes a piece unusual, then scan the target print for that same bend, curl, gap, or edge flow.
The layout is not a fixed answer key, so use these as scanning cues rather than memorizing a grid. The right match is the fragment whose ridge direction continues naturally into the main print.
Kortz Center objective flow after the keypad
Once you find the interactable keypad and clear the fingerprint copy, the route pushes you into the CCTV/server-room security section. Stay patient here, because the hack is only one part of keeping the run quiet.
After entering the CCTV area, watch the guard timing. Wait for the guard to leave the computer room for the CCTV room, then deal with him when it is safe to do so.
Use the CCTV monitors and choose Temporarily Disable CCTV. If the objective asks for Raf’s access code afterward, go to the computer and enter the 6-digit code from Raf to continue the security override.
Fingerprint hack mistakes to avoid
| Puzzle | What |
|---|---|
| Kortz Center fingerprint hack | Match four left-side fingerprint fragments to the target print on the right. |
| Vault keypad puzzle | Watch the blue-node sequence, memorize the final pattern, and repeat it within the vault timer. |
| Vault replay option | Pressing Triangle/Y replays the sequence but uses one of the available attempts. |
KEY!The biggest mistake is mixing this keypad hack with the vault puzzle. The fingerprint screen is about matching four partial components; the vault keypad is a blue-node memory puzzle with a different rule set.
Rushing also causes bad matches. If a fragment only “kind of” fits, check the ridge flow and outer curves again before selecting it. During the wider heist route, avoid touching lasers after the CCTV section, and do not use explosive charges in a way that breaks stealth during escape.
If the fingerprint hack is done and you are moving deeper into the job, the next puzzle to learn is the vault keypad memory pattern. That one is built around blue nodes, a timed sequence, and repeated input, so the fingerprint method will not help there.
It also helps to tighten the solo stealth route, especially the guard timing around the CCTV room, the CCTV and laser-disabling flow, and prep choices that affect how smoothly the finale goes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kortz Center fingerprint hack the same as the vault keypad puzzle?
No. The fingerprint hack matches partial fingerprint pieces to a main print, while the vault keypad puzzle uses blue-node memory patterns.
How many fingerprint pieces do you need to match?
You need to match four partial fingerprint components on the left with the main fingerprint shown on the right.
What shapes should you look for in the fingerprint hack?
Look for distinctive ridge marks: a candy-cane curl, a small isolated curve, triangle-like shapes, outside-edge curves, and the overall direction of the ridge flow.
What should you do if you cannot find a matching fragment quickly?
Move to another fragment with a more obvious mark, match that first, then come back. Reducing the clutter makes the harder fragment easier to place.
Where do you use Raf’s 6-digit code?
Use Raf’s 6-digit code at the computer during the security objective after handling the CCTV/server-room flow, if the prompt asks for it.
