drive-by store robbery

[Demarest]

I'm calling this a discovery because I've never seen anybody cover it before. Completely by accident, I dscovered today that you can rob stores by performing a drive-by. Obviously you want to HOLD Look Left/Right without actually firing. Combine this with a bike and you can probably make some fast getaways

Very enlightening. Weird how it doesn't work the same with unarmed cops, as if you aim at a cop and you get two stars.

[Demarest]

Here's a VERY interesting variant. Also discovered by accident.

Heck Demarest I never knew that!

 

But wait minute! Hmm... what if one were to keep holding the gun while on the bike and then make a gateaway? Question is, will the alarm actually sound? If not, run back and grab the money for +1 Robbery count in your stats!

 

^ For some reason I am having doubts that what I am saying above will work. But let me know if it is a trick that really works.

 

Crap it didn't work.

 

 

Update: And another way to rob these stores is to just drive over them in any vehicle (you don't need to use guns). Just don't kill him.

Are you sure that's not just an extension of the pointing forward at them variant? Can you take a pic of how you mean?

[Ring_of_Fire]

What I meant is that all you need to really do is to just point your bike at them (you know what I mean). The game seems to be telling the cashier that there's a person holding a gun because you are in a way still pointing directly at him, when you are on your bike. Thus, he gives to you the cash! Yes, it's kinda the same as the "pointing forward at them" variant.

 

^ Not really useful and you still get stars. And this doesn't work if you are empty-handed while on your bike.

Neat! Does Tommy still collect the money, even though he's still on the bike?

[Ring_of_Fire]

No, you still have to pick it up. And as I had said, it is useless... except for getaway purposes like Dem stated above.

I love the foto's of the robberys, excellent capture there!.

I think it is rather beneficial to rob stores for the money, only after you have knocked off 15 stores already.

You only need to rob stores for 100%. If 100% is your goal, there are tons of ways to make big money. Look at the money totals in the pics. I hadn't done a single job yet.

Some people have a way when they try to get 2 stars from robbing the cashier. It's better to complete the 15/15 stores in your stats first, and then try to properly rob them for the money later.
