I want to make a run at the 10 million at some point, but before I will attempt it I want to do it with the least amount of risk involved. In order to do that, I want to make a list of tips and tricks to be able to finish these missions fast and safe.
That's why I created this thread, to sum up the different tips or tactics for every heist and setup there is. If you have any, please feel free to write it down in this thread and I will add it to this post. Maybe we can all get filthy rich that way
Tips for all jobs
- Buy an Armored Kuruma
- There is no friendly fire. The only way to kill your teammates is to run them over or slash them in piece with rotor blades. Be aware, however, that when using sticky bombs in car chases, they may be shot by the enemy, exploding your vehicle and everyone in it.
- Alyways keep an eye on your health and armor bars. Be sure to visit ammunation regularly to buy extra body armors (this may even be done after starting a setup or heist), as well as convenience stores to buy snacks.
- During chases, keep the inventory menu open on snacks or armor, so you can quickly refill the bars.
- Wear Heavy Heist Body Armour and Bullet Proof helmets to reduce damage
- Volunteer for a role you're good at, and make sure it's known you are a bad pilot, for example.
Fleeca Job
Scope Out
In this setup mission you have to simply drive to the bank in Lester's Asea, with the passenger having to practice a hacking minigame.
- no tips yet.
Kuruma
Steal an Armored Kuruma from the top of a parking garage.
- If you own an Armored Kuruma already, drive it do the top and kill everyone before you get out.
The Fleeca Job
Take out box 167 from the bank's vault and escape the police.
- no tips yet.
Prison Break
Plane
Steal a Velum from McKenzie Airfield.
- Use an Armored Kuruma and kill everyone before getting out of the car.
Bus
Steal a Prison Bus as it's leaving the prison.
- no tips yet.
Station
One team has to get a schedule from a police station, while the other team retrieves a Casco from a cargo ship.
- As the station team, call 911 to have a police car come near your location. Assign officers to kill and take the car to the subway tunnels to escape the police.
Wet Work
One team has to kill a couple of lawyers, the other team kill Rashkovsky's business partner in the hills.
- As the City Hall team, shoot the lawyer in gray as quick as possible, in order for him to drop the briefcase at the bottom of the stairs. Use an Armored Kuruma to drive up to the briefcase and stop the car exactly where the passenger door is. The passenger now just has to get out of the car and back in again to pick up the briefcase. If needed, use the tunnels again to elude the cops.
The Prison Break
Two people shoot up the prison, one person is the pilot and a demolitions guy destroys a bus before picking up a Buzzard.
- As the pilot, fly circles around the city until you hit the 1:00 mark on the timer. The jets will show up once you are close to Sandy Shores, so just wait until the last moment to do that.
- As the pilot, once the jets show up, try to get behind one of them and just stay there. Demolitions should not destroy the jet but make sure to not get killed by it either.
- As the prison officer, drop an assault rifle and ammo for the prisoner to use.
Humane Raid
Key Codes
Meet a contact and receive codes, before shooting up some FIB agents.
- no tips yet.
Insurgents
Steal two Insurgents from a Merryweather test site.
- no tips yet.
EMP
Steal a Hydra from an aircraft carrier.
- no tips yet.
Valkyrie
Steal a Valkyrie gunship from the LS Port
- Use an Armored Kuruma and kill everyone at the port before exiting the car.
- When you get in the Valkyrie, fly straight to your goal, ignoring the enemy choppers. Once you land at the target location, you can take them out way easier using lock-on rockets, or even sniping them from a distance.
Deliver EMP
Deliver an Insurgent holding the EMP at Humane Labs.
- Use communication to take out the guards and scientists without raising an alarm.
- Be aware that bullets may travel through your targets and lodge elsewhere on the map, alerting other guards. Keep an eye on the angles.
The Humane Labs Raid
A two man team goes in to retrieve the files. A chopper pilot and a gunner stay outside to shoot up some buzzards and infantry.
- As the chopper gunner, make sure you are in the passenger seat of the Valkyrie.
- As pilot/gunner, make shooting Buzzards your priority.
Series A
Coke
Use a boat and a helicopter to get on a yacht near Del Perro in order to retrieve bags of cocaine.
- no tips yet
Trash Truck
Pick up trash bags containing molly pills using a garbage truck.
- At the final location (the petrol station), one person could stand on the trashmaster killing everything very easily using a rocket launcher.
Bikers
Silently dispatch of some bikers before stealing Lost MC Vans.
- no tips yet
Steal Meth
Get a trailer filled with meth cooking ingredients from a farm in Grapeseed.
- Use an Armored Kuruma to kill everyone before exiting the car. Be careful to not shoot the tyres of the trucks you might need later.
Weed
Shoot up some Ballas at the sawmill and steal their weed as well as their Karin Technical.
- As the ground team, use an Armored Kuruma to kill everyone before exiting the car.
- The Technical should take the lead and shoot up the roadblocks during the getaway.
Series A Funding
Protect Trevor and hold off the attackers before escaping to the lighthouse.
- Use the Technical to shoot the attackers.
- After commencing the escape from the warehouse, make the buzzards a priority and take them out with the Technical.
Pacific Standard
Vans
Photograph four Post OP vans' license plates before Lester tells you which one to steal.
- Obviously, do not crash into the vans or use any weapons before you photographed them all.
- Communication is key, and with two teams operating separately, you might want to mute the other half for a few minutes.
Signal
Get to Broughy Island to retrieve Avi Schwartzman and take him to Grapeseed.
- After getting Avi, before getting in the boat, one crew member should destroy the helicopter that is closing in.
- You might want to get out of the boat as quickly as possible and switch to four wheels, and you might want to store a car (Armored Kuruma, anyone?) near the shore before getting on a jet ski.
Hack
Steal a hacking rig from a van owned by a rival heist crew.
- no tips yet
Convoy
Stop a Merryweather convoy in order to steal a Barracks truck.
- Use Armored Kurumas to block the road and hide behind.
- Use a heavy sniper rifle to shoot the helicopter before the convoy is even close to the bridge. It takes seven shots to take those down.
- Once you have the truck, two crew members should take the Insurgent+gun and one crew member should take one of the Armored Kurumas. The Insurgent should take down any helicopters, and the Kuruma driver should shoot any Mesas that give chase.
Bikes
Steal four Lectros from a Lost clubhouse in East Los Santos.
- Use an Armored Kuruma to kill everyone at the clubhouse before exiting the car.
- Once you are on the bikes, do not take the first right turn, but cross the road and take the second right. This route has way less traffic.
The Pacific Standard Job
Rob the bank and escape using bikes. Or not.
- Once you exit the bank, grenade or rocket launchers can take care of the cop cars surrouding you.
- As soon as you reach the bikes, stop at the first intersection and wait for a police car to show up. Kill its occupants and steal it. Let the best driver take the wheel while the rest of the crew use machine guns and grenade to kill chasing cops.
- Once you have to jump off the mountain, do not get out of the car, but simply land it and drive to the Dinghy.
So please, if you have any tips, post them below and I will add them here.
