Mission: The Big Score - List of Payout Possibilities

[NickStone]

For those looking for the biggest payouts in the mission The Big Score, this might help...

 

If you'd rather leave it to chance, consider the rest of this post a spoiler.

 

There are pretty much 4 different ways to go with this: Approach A & B, using both high- and low-percentage teams. I played all four to see which ones bring the highest payouts. The actual amount each character/crew walks away with will vary depending on several factors, including their abilities stats, but mostly it's the pre-determined events that happen during the mission that dictate the differences between the amounts. (Divulging those events would be too much of a spoiler.)

 

The amounts listed below are the payouts for the protagonists (all three protags get the same amount)

 

Approach A / Low-Percentage Team: $18,569,925
Approach A / High-Percentage Team: $18,117,000
Approach B / Low-Percentage Team: $35,616,000
Approach B / High-Percentage Team: $26,880,000

For the Plan B/Low Percentage approach to yield that pay out, would it require using the low percentage people in previous heists to build up their skills?

aaaaand ive just spotted your signature. A fair approach tbh. Guess we wont be getting the answer from you then, lol.

I was able to get over 37 million (don't remember the exact amount). I went with approach B. I also used the lady you help from the car wreck (random event). She is a getaway driver and she has good stats and a low cut percentage, 6% from what I remember. I did also choose a couple higher percentage cut people so maybe one can get even more money.

Yeah, that car wreck lady only took 5% for me and she did a great job, got 37mil also.

For option B, I read somewhere that you can get up to $41.6 millions for each character if you do the heist right and use Taliana as a pilot, Karim as the train driver and use the two cheapest gunmen as they don't have any effect on the outcome.

I chose the 2 best gunners - 12 + 14%, Ricky from life invader (6% I think), the low take/good stats girl - 5% and Hao -15%. Chose plan A and got 27M each.

Yeah, I chose option B, taliana and Karin with the two cheapest gunman and got almost 42 mil per character.

My suggestion, is make sure that you have used Norm Richards on the FIB Information Job, then use him as Gunman 1, with Franklin for the option that has you drilling through the bank wall. Make sure that your second gunman is Daryl Johns, as he only asks for 6% as his cut. From there, make sure that Taliana is Driver 1, piloting the helicopter, and Karim Denz is driving the train. It has a final layout of 26%, and each player will have nearly $42 million. If you have left the assassination missions for Franklin to the end, you will have the opportunity to make over half a billion dollars, so if anyone would like to know that, please feel free to get in contact.
