The List 1. Silent And Sneaky - 50 2. The Big Con - 50 3. Aggressive - 50

1. Silent And Sneaky - 44 2. The Big Con - 48 3. Aggressive - 50 - to Silent And Sneaky + to Aggressive Aggressive is the best for playing with randumbs. I've done this with under level 30 randoms with reinforced armor and no deaths plus no hacking. The big con is great but everytime I have done it we have had to shoot our way out because randumbs stay in the vault too long and alert the guards. I've done silent and sneaky once with a lot of deaths and people quitting and we never make it past the first 2 guards and a couple of time haven't even made it past the metal detectors if I didn't shoot it with my stun gun in time.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 29 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 53 3. Aggressive - 47 (+1) I'm so getting on board with that since I have even created a topic for that in the subforum. The big con will win, that's pretty clear, but I'm on board with the aggressive. Why? Because there's a lot of shooting involved and shooting is okay in this game. Some preps will require a lot of flexibility and proper positioning, but I have no complaints. But let's not forget about the outfits: Silent and sneaky allows us to get unique stuff, as well as Big Con, while aggressive is clearly an outsider with a regular clothes mashed up. By the sum of the parts, Big Con is a winner. Now why I don't like Stealth: well, it's broken. It's binary and you can get used to that, but it's not that funny. Only good for the outfits, IMO. I just can't advocate these bad game mechanics and improper execution, that's why it will get -2 from me. The idea behind it is great, but the game is not up to a task. My main complaint is that these modes can't be soloed. Even more sophisticated things from Hitman can be done solo, and 2+ player requirement is artificial. Especially, in stealth approach, you literally don't need anyone there apart from activating the damn lock.

fun fact about the V-STR: R* added for it extra prostitute animations. which means you are free to get a lady of the night in it. oh and remember how i mentioned that cut arcade game a while back? Jimmy does still have 2 lines mentioning it:

I assume Nightclubs are 95% off, because I moved mine last week

Version 2.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 35 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 50 3. Aggressive - 49 (+1) I like the scenes of the explosions in Agressive but I alternate between SS and TBC.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 40 2. The Big Con - 48 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 50 (-2) Aggressive is great with randoms, but the other 2 become aggressive too if come one fails to pay attention so it's nothing special IMO. Silent and Sneaky is a bit buggy but fun to work out a good approach in the casino, but The Big Con is so chilled and relaxing. Easy elites too. Regardless which wins though, this heist is great and it's what the others should be with how flexible we can approach them. That's the real win for me.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 44 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 51 3. Aggressive - 52 (+1)

Seriously, why we can't own houses in RIchman or Rockford hills?

1. Silent And Sneaky - 30 (+1) 2. The Big Con - 51 (-2) 3. Aggressive - 47 Sneaky's taken an awfully big hit, stealthy is always fun, but broken.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 33 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 51 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 49

1. Silent And Sneaky - 40 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 47 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 52 Silent and Sneaky (-2) isn't bad per se, but the shoddy stealth mechanics on this game make it way harder than what it should be. The Big Con (+1) feels like a proper heist and it offers the most options entrance wise, although Gruppe Sechs is superior to most of them anyway.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 42 2. The Big Con - 46 << 3. Aggressive - 52 > As Gauntlet Hellfire said Agressive for randoms !!

1. Silent And Sneaky - 42 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 48 3. Aggressive - 51 (+1) Silent and sneaky can go to hell.

Ooooh page 747! C'mon R*! Give the queen one last hurrah. I'll buy it on the spot, even if it costs 10 millions, c'mon R*! You know I'm good for it. Please, with a cherry on top.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 44 2. The Big Con - 49 << 3. Aggressive - 52 > I'm going to downvote "The Big Con" for now because it was the first one I did and my team messed it up multiple times, no-one knew how to hack and left it all to me, we died, died, died.... (say that in a redneck accent), didn't know where the cars were, people quit out... it was a total shambles.

Next update will be wild life focused which is why I'm positive that Rockstar will fix the animal spawns.

Uber Sexy, ja. Due to fact I had to go to work an hour after it dropped, made a sportier version first.

Nice shot of luxury garage! I store my luxury cars also on B2 slot. I dont have Revolter and Komoda in this one but i have Albany Washington and Emperor. A n y w a y..... Heres my Caddy! (Of course ill park like an idiot!)

1. Silent And Sneaky - 33 2. The Big Con - 52 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 47 (-2) That bloody plastic explosives prep. Is there really no way to get those things from the sea bottom undetected? edit: I know you can just use a weaponized vehicle to get it done quickly, my real issue is that as soon as I touch a crate they instantly know where I am, even though I got to the crate undetected, using my own scuba gear. Did they really script detection on pick up? I also alternate between S&S and TBC. More time in vault, especially with friends who don't mind a quick restart if the alarm goes off. I only do aggressive when I get Artwork. As for silent&sneaky, I like the concept, but I don't like this game's implementation of stealth in general. And I never use the drone. I think Big Con is the best because it gives you the most options.

My new daily.

I can't really decide... if I were to rank *individual playthroughs* then two Silent and Sneaky runs I did would be in my Top 5, including my very first one, figuring out how to get into the vault undetected, and one I did combining a helipad entry and roof exit without detection until the police station roof. The other two would be the maintenance workers and Yung Ancestor superfans disguises, which are also very satisfying to complete undetected (maintenance also involved an escape on Manchez bikes in the snow, before I knew about the heli). Finally I'd include my first playthrough of the Aggressive approach for the elite challenge. All of these were done with friends of course, else they wouldn't have been fun experiences. But in general I've played Big Con with Gruppe 6 disguise and Aggressive with sewer entry the most, just for convenience. If I were forced to repeat one approach 10 times it would be Aggressive with sewer entry, sawed-off shotguns and no armor. Quick and fun with still a bit of a challenge. So I don't really know; I like all of them. This might be my only vote. 1. Silent And Sneaky - 46 (+1) 2. The Big Con - 48 (-1) 3. Aggressive - 49 (-1)

Here is mine. will test this beast and the Schafter V12 in the race.

Do the guards guns still sometimes fire when they drop them in the heist? I've had that happen a lot in freeroam mission and have even been shot by them before. I don't think so I have always been detected no matter what. My votes are just going by the finale but if I included preps I would consider downvoting aggressive just for this prep. I've tried with a lot of different ways even buying a Sea Sparrow but still haven't found a great way to do it. This mission does need to be changed I once did it undetected but as I was getting into my Sea Sparrow I died and when I finally got the first one my Sea Sparrow died on my way back to get the second one because of those stupid enemy Buzzards. I tried that once but couldn't get out of the ocean afterwards. Might have been me being an idiot or that I never spending time around the water though.

1. Silent And Sneaky - 37 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 50 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 48

1. Silent And Sneaky - 39 (-2) 2. The Big Con - 49 (+1) 3. Aggressive - 48

nice try Leslie

Yes, if they see you before you shoot them, their gun might go off, because they were preparing to shoot at you. I vote based on the whole package. I think Aggressive finale is pretty fun, but this prep gives me headache. If I think I can get out undetected, I want to get out undetected. Right now, I can get to the explosives undetected every single time, but as soon as I touch one, all hell breaks loose. I guess that was the autodetect on pickup. Maybe they should change the mission to make it clear you can't get out undetected.

Go on @Quinn_flower, you stare that gift horse straight in the teeth.

^ HELL YEAH. lets squeeze that mf boxville to the last drop. 70k for 10mins of doing nothing. grinding like a boss.

Well it's come to this: killing NPC horses and dynamiting fish to get the "kill 20 animals" objective. R*, why is anyone bothering at this point? So sad... Also: I see more animals in the real than in RDO. And I live in a city!

Agreed. It has been said before and I'll say it again: K/D should not be applied to kills/deaths in Freemode, only Deathmatches, Adversary modes and PvP jobs. Then the number would actually be meaningful and we would have more reason to care about it.

Fresh oc

I always get detected when I'm about halfway down in the ocean so when I finally get to the surface it only takes a couple of bullets for me to die. CS 1. Silent And Sneaky - 31 2. The Big Con - 53 3. Aggressive - 47

Thanks. I had already figured that out, I just with there was a way to finish it undetected. I guess I'm not allowed to do it sneaky because I'm setting up for aggressive, lol.

Quicker to park a broomstick on nearby rocks/up the ladder I am only downvoting sneaky because I suck at it...I can’t be the only one though. I don’t use a mic anymore...it might be one big reason why sns is so tricky...counting like deliver emp would work I guess... 1. Silent And Sneaky - 31 -2 2. The Big Con - 53 +1 3. Aggressive - 47

^ Still annoyed that Bandito, RC Tank etc are unavailable during contact missions. Like, what are we gonna do, cheat? Fun police

i think you get a animation like when going into the garage and then you hear those sounds. bc i found those audio´s in a file called "circuit racing" and they sound like a pit stop

1. Silent And Sneaky - 41 +1 2. The Big Con - 48 3. Aggressive - 48 (-2)

It's insanely quick, to the point where you can rival many of the supers and high end sports cars. A lot of players struggle to keep up with me. One dude in an Emerus texted me this: It also has more ramming force than any of the Arena War vehicles (I would say it's even as good as the Nightshark in that regard). It's, for some reason, really good at ramming the police Interceptors out of the way. You can send them flying 20 feet if you hit them at a decent speed. The only downside to this car is that it has no cosmetic modifications at all. The car is very fun to drive, therefore it's very addictive.
