Couple of tips from me: Pacific Standard (Finale): - Try to steal a fast 4 door car or in groups of 2 steal a fast 2 door car. You drop less money and increase your protection. - Once driving to the location, I was told you can drive to the Dinghy directly. Once you get past the Lost MC Caravan Park place, there's a bridge where you also block off for an earlier setup. You can turn left before the bridge driving along the river straight to the Dinghy and after a while the waypoint and objective will change to go to the Dinghy. NOTE: I have no idea if this is patched yet AND you also can take heavy fire when trying to get to the Dinghy when getting out the car, but it is much quicker. Just make sure you protect yourselves if you take this route, the cops follow you along the river and can shoot you when getting to the dinghy, so just some warning. Series A Trash Truck: for the final garbage bag collection, pull the truck into the alley with the front facing the way out (so reverse it in). Then the two people on the bag collect the bags, whilst the two people on the front shoot the people coming towards them, I advise an RPG to not mess around as they spawn rapidly after each other. The people on the back should also wear the Heavy Combat gear and get ready to use a Bullpop Rifle or Carbine Rifle, maybe even an Assault Shotgun distance dependent, to shoot the people coming for them. Those are my tips so far, I'm yet to complete the Finale for Series A and the last 2 or so setups for it, all the rest I have done. Hope these help :) Best route for Pacific Standard: Also, have one guy steal ALL of the money. That way you only lose cash when he gets shot, and the other three people can act solely as body guards.

Prison Job:
Pilot fly behind the jet, it's a useless AI that flies at 1/5 speed Flying at either it 4 or 7 will encourage it to turn back toward the map as keeing to its 6 will keep it going straight This also frees up the demolition man for long range rock fire into the prison since close range will get him shot down, but staying just outside the direct above area of the prison will result in missiles. That prison guard at the end always makes you, kill him the moment he aims his gun then take cover and kill everyone else
Humane Labs
Ground team stay in th water when the Valkryie comes to land as to not get cut up
Series A Funding
Keep your technical zoomed out for quicker aim, it's powerful enough and the targets are kinda close so it makes things easier

I just ran this route to get a feel for it. Im not entirely sure why this route has you cut through the Sandy Shores off road. That felt a lot slower and Im also unsure which route Im suppose to take down the mountain to get to the second access road that actually has the dingy on it. Unless we are meant to just throw the car down the mountain side and hope for the best? I just didnt see and easy way down from the markers shown. I have a different route I havent tested yet but Im about to right now. Going to be stop watch times and without cops for the initial test but Ill post how it goes when Im done.

You follow the markers. The drawn red circles represent cliffs, and the black line is where you shouldn't go. Sorry for the confusion, but that was the only version of the map I could find.

The shitty thing is its only a 6 car garage :/ Can't you just go to any apartment? It's still a much better deal than having to traverse the entire map in the police cruiser.

It's still a much better deal than having to traverse the entire map in the police cruiser. Yeah you can but you have to be completely out of sight from cops when you get to your apartment so sometimes people have a hard time getting in if they are the last to their apartment. The other thing was when we were doing it we didnt know you could invite people into the apartment to get them in your car. We were just going in our own garages and grabbing a car bc once you are out of your garage everytime we tried to let someone into a personal vehicle it wouldnt let us until we were really close to the dinghy. I think all 4 being together is better than splitting up also because the AI tends to gang up on one person when you split up. Usually the person bringing up the rear gets gang banged by every cop in San Andreas while the people up front have it super easy. Thats part of what makes the bikes so rediculously hard, its nearly impossible to all stay together and even harder to not fall off at least once.

So maybe I missed it in the video, but does the bulletproof helmet actually do anything? For the first heist everyone on the team had a vest and helmet, but by the third heist they were only using the vests.

the "bulletproof" helmet isn't actually bulletproof just bullet-resistant, so you take less damage if you are shot there, although i've been killed one shot to the head with a heavy pistol in free roam, albeit from closer range than most of the enemies in heists, but the message is, use bulletproof helmets but you're not invincible

I assumed they were cosmetic; it's good to know they've got a bit more to them.

So, I've been trying to do the 10 mil. challenge recently with 3 other guys on PS3, so I thought I could add some more tips.These are gonna be tips in general, not how to do each mission and they will be mostly from my experience on old gen.So these are gonna be for people that had connection issues and whatnot on old gen, I have gone through these problems with my team and we figured some tricks how to get all 4 people in the lobby. (You may already know these tricks, so please don't get mad at me :'D) Job failed to download for me, what to do? - go to Singleplayer and join from there it should work perfectly. Stuck in the lobby loading screen, what to do?- just sign out of PSN, you don't have to quit the game and then try again. "Player no longer in session", what should I do?- the leader should restart the whole lobby so it resets. Additonal tips for connection problems:- get all people into an invite only session, it will make doing the challenge much easier and faster. (One lobby, less chance of failing to load) - Don't stay in the lobby too long, it highers the chance of freezing the lobby. So, these were connection tips, so let's move on to the actual heist tips.-Be patient while doing ground units! Don't go guns blazing for example on HLR or on PBH. It happened to me that there was a guy that was not on marked on the minimap and I got shot in the face. Take your time, you are not chasing anything. -Communicate with your team, I believe it is almost impossible to complete the challenge without speaking, and respect your heist crew members, while they need help, provide it to them. Don't jump into other member's dialogue unless it's really neccesary. (I know this may sound fairly obvious but it works. If your conversation is gonna look like a typical politic debate you are most likely gonna fail.) -Dying = Failing, Failing setup/finale = Absolutely nothing. If you are stuck in a sticky situation, really, really close to dying, quit the game immediately. Also to prevent this make sure to have FULL Armor and Snack, and use them! -NEVER, NEVER! use motorbikes on the challenge unless you are absoultely perfect bike rider! These machines of death caused me so many embarassing moments in front of my team, so yeah don't use these. -Don't ever use explosives while it's not necessary, although you won't die if you detonate a sticky if in a car with another person (during Heist or Setups, not in Freemode) I wouldn't reccomend trying it. Passages where explosives are neccesarry for your own safety: PSJ Finale, whilst leaving the bank, Takin' down helis on Series A setup: Coke, and S A setup: Trash Truck -and finally the point where my team failed the challenge: Humane labs raid setup: EMP, my team member crashed into a jet. Sh*t happens. My final advice would be: Pay extra attention to these two setups: HLR: EMP, Seri. A: Trash Truck. So guys good luck whilst completing your 10 mil. challenge. I am starting this challenge once again with my crew with one guy replaced (He moved to PC, we will miss him so much ;( ) Thx for reading! Cheers!
