does anyone do their own heists?

[Official General]

I always go to the bank in Vinewood that's open for some reason, makes place for a great shootout.

 

That's not what I call doing a heist.

[kevin de santa]

I would its a bank you tried to hit it. Realized the place is empty had a epic shootout with cops and escaped

[Johan]

Nope, rarely with a big enough group to try most of them.

 

I do watch RoosterTeeth on YouTube playing their own heists, which is pretty entertaining. Sadly the real heists most likely won't have that same kind of entertainment.

[kevin de santa]

I meant single player you could try them in that maybe?

[Payne Killer]

Would you recommend it kevin. I haven't played V in months, so maybe this will bring me back.

[kevin de santa]

Yes its good fun IMO I just pulled off a mini heist the Vespucci beach heist I called it lol. There was a guy who hangs out on Vespucci walkway near the masks shop everyday. He knows m t and f pilled off. The big one he needs to be eliminated. So we got a cluckin bell truck m and t dressed themselves like clucking bell workers and run through the walkway with the truck trying to take out as many people as possible hoping we get our guy. We take out everyone and as we know the cops show up. And we have to fight our way back up the walkway to the getaway car. By the time we get there we have a 5 star wanted level. And a epic chase ensues. We get to a chopper and fly away. No one is gonna read that lol. I was gonna.a use a dump but its a one seater

Before I did a mini gas station heist. I got a emperor with T,F and I got away with $137.

[kevin de santa]

I got this idea from the online section. Rob every single gas station in one swoop. Without dieing I think it might be impossible. Online maybe can be done im not surrabout sp. I'd do it with Trevor because of his special ability with m and f for support. Lol I need a super fast 4 seater and mod it to the max

Speaking of doing heists while hanging out with other protagonists...

 

I went to pick Michael up for some American titties the other day, and for some reason his dialogue table/pattern glitched into the "robbing a store" phase. So he kept telling Trevor to hurry up and get the cashier to empty the register. We'd be driving through Vinewood Hills and he'd just shout "COME ON T, HURRY THE f*ck UP" as we went along.

 

This happened during a session of tennis, as well. It would keep looping and looping until specific tennis dialogues interrupted the loop, then it'd continue on again afterwards.

 

it was f*cking hilarious. I wish I could have recorded it. I know it's not on the topic of performing open world heists, but it's still vaguely related. Found it really entertaining, so I just wanted to share.

That happened to me aswell. T just wouldn't shut the f*ck up, so I drove up mount chiliad and threw him off.

[SKOGS-SKUMMISEN]

sometimes but all on my own... a ain't got no friends that plays gta much

[kevin de santa]

Lol I wish that would happen to me sounds hilarious

[Electrogypsy]

The Achievement Hunters from RoosterTeeth have made there own heists to amuse themselves in till the real thing comes out. They've made 7 so far and the damn funny, depending on your scene of humour.

No idea how to embed so.

I'm planning another score the lost biker gang heist. I will go to every lost hangout in the city with m t and f dressed like bikers driving with a lost fan. Aim - clear out every single lost hideout so far I've planning on attacking stab city that bar near the casino and hookies? Near paloto bay am I missing any hideouts?

[Sofa]

 

 

Not really rp'ing heists, but i do get the bunch together and attack police stations and attempt to occupy them(if interiors or semi-enclosed area) for as long as possible, scenarios vary from all out vendettas to trivial matters going awry like f.ex paying a parking ticket and someone trashtalks, tempers rise, trevor headbutts a cop, and fecal matter hits the rotating air circulator....

 

Not that profound rp, but as the attack and escape of the heavily armed and equipped vendetta attacks are always planned, the initial attack approach for best shock value and getaway route/vehicle for smooth or challenging, atleast it's somewhat more "complex" than a rampage in general. Massacring the police force, although a fairly basic and unoriginal activity, there's no denying that the V cops are bastards that should be punished:-P

 

Mission row is the easiest to occupy(also multiple escape routes), as the doorway serves as a foolproof bottleneck, [except for the a."i". as] unfortunately the two other protags tend to die quickly if lingering too long in the lobby, however the player can survive and kill police indefinitely with the armor pick-up, and ammo can occasionally be replenished safely from the dead officers and noose piled up in the doorway(trevors ability makes it trivial).

 

Good stuff OP, imaginative indeed, keep it up, playtime is funtime!

[kevin de santa]

Yes good idea might do a heist in there take out as many cops as possible and steal the chopper with m and t dressed like cops maybe try to get a decent officer outfit together for Franklin

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

well that's not really doing a heist, is it

 

sure it is a heist isn't necessarily defined by gameplay features...

 

it's not a "Heist" but it's certainly "doing your own heists"

 

and great thread BTW i do my own heists all the time

 

and try do a lot of planning such as targets, escape routes, weapons, teams, etc

 

 

one of the best features of the game that I think people don't use is the ability to Hangout with all 3 characters in free roam

 

it's awesome

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

You can see some of my own heists here

 

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/snapmatic/myphotos?platFormId=2

 

 

 

 

 

all 3 of us wore masks and went around robbing a few highway convenience stores... and then when we parted ways, ALL THREE of us drove off in Lamparti Felons lol. awesome. look close, see the 2 other Felons? the drivers look familiar?

 

 

i do a lot of small gas station heists.... probably 100 times now with this much planning involved, here's 1 example.

 

hey M need some help gotta rob a highway gas station, got myself a stolen station wagon, grab some masks so they don't ID us, let's go!

 

hurry hurry hurry!

 

make our escape but here come the cops

 

finally escaped the police but now they looking for a station wagon, time to ditch it... let's sneak down to the power factory, cut the fence, and steal a new car before the security guard spots us!

 

safe and sound! stop for some fresh fruit, kill the merchant so he can't ID us, and head on home !

 

 

EVERY SINGLE TIME i drive that car now, i remember this epic heist

 

small heist to steal dump trucks for a mexican buyer

 

this was a small heist to steal lumber trucks coming in from the cold mountains by helicopter.. and it went a bit wrong lol

 

 

more of an terrorist attack on the electric power company to try affect stock price

 

this was an amazing armoured car heist where i escaped by helicopter! and i just baaaaaaarely made it to the eastern ocean before my engine died lol seriously if i was literally just 10 seconds slower i wouldn't have survived the drop into the ocean. and then i made an incredibly beautiful and satisfying boat road around the mountain coast back to civilization. it was an super awesome experience.

 

 

at the end of an awesome escape after doing a heist on the cement factory, stealing the cash on hand

 

 

i was robbing stores down by the ocean and i knew i wanted to make my escape by boat so i wore a wet suit and a mask of course to protect my ID... made a pretty awesome boat escape in the tunnels and they destroyed the evidence

 

 

this was one of the most amazing 5-star escapes ever it took me over 45 minutes to escape the cops on the water by some how finally getting lucky with helicopter spawns... the last cops were in this boat lol

 

 

 

doing extra scouting before major Heists

 

always scout out a location before you visit it... know your escape route!

 

and if you're scouting out locations and escape routes for Heist Set-up ambushes.... make sure you got a good cover!

I did something similar I had Franklin drive up to the petrol pumps at tge 24/7 and drtonate the C4 on the car so whe whole place blew up, and before I got a wanted level I switched to M acroos the street, ran into the 24/7 and robbed it, pretending it was a mini heist

[kevin de santa]

You guys most Likley already know this but you can wear the mask from the stealth outfit with a suit you just change to stealth outfit and manually change suit jacket and suit pants.

[LeonVegaSuarez]

Yo Kevin, any idea if there is a way to make the two other guys equip for example the carbine rifle?

 

For me they always use the MG

Lose the combat mg and maybe they will use something else.

[kevin de santa]

Maybe as max said drop the mg it might work OT just pulled of a posinby heist ( the fancy clothes shop) aim rob all 3 in a row (this was preparation for robbing all 24/7 stores at once still trying to figure the best way to go about that. Any ideas guys?) All dressed up on suits and the stealth mask. And a fully modded van as getaway we went for it. First store no problem second stores bit of a hassle. By the time we to the third store 4 star wanted level cops everywhere. BTW I robbed them by shooting cashier and sticky bomb to register only got cash once. Then we made our way to the boat dock in LA purta grabbed Michaels boat and escaped

I did rob all 19 stores with T and M but lost the cops after every store then went to the next one. Did some of it flying there with a chopper the rest with stolen cars.

[kevin de santa]

Yes I want the hardest challenge possible tho rob all 19 without losing cops

[vrsick]

I do. Dress up Michael in the jewelry heist outfit, go to the big open vinewood bank, "rob it", have a shoot out out side and then try to escape on foot with 5 stars. I try to make it down to the subway.

[JustRob]

That's just pointless. Like people who try to roleplay in World of Warcraft. If you wanna do a heist, just replay one of the heists. That's more fun than play acting.
