Heists-Everything That's Been Revealed.

[Trishan99]

Hey guys, Thought I'd make a quick Round up of everything we know coming to Heists.

Quoted from Rockstar Newswire

 

The set up

FOLLOW THE LEADER

First things first: every Heist needs a leader and the Heist Leader is going to need to be at least rank 12 and own a high-end apartment with a planning board in order to co-ordinate the crime. Not only do Heist Leaders cough up all of the setup costs up-front, they have complete control over team roles and the cut of the final take each Crew Member gets. Additionally, Heist progress is only saved for the Heist Leader - so when choosing a leader it makes sense to link up with someone you can trust.

ALL TALK

It should go without saying that good teamwork starts with communication - and headsets are important to successfully pulling off Heists. Whether it's telling a lookout where they need to be, a passenger locating vehicles using the Trackify app and giving directions to the driver, or two infiltrators operating a pair of security panels in perfect sync.

ROLL CALL

At different stages of each Heist, Crew members will be assigned different roles. These could be slightly different responsibilities within a single scenario - for example, two lookouts and a bodyguard while a buyer completes a less-then-legal exchange of information - or larger deviations, like two players patrolling in an attack chopper above while the other two infiltrate a facility below. It's important for all players to know their strengths and, in turn, for the Heist Leader to assign accordingly. If you see yourself as an ace pilot, then put in some time at the Flight School and increase that flying stat to prove it.

TOOL UP

Professionals don't expect the customer to provide the tools for the job. While there might be some more specialized equipment that may be provided (or that you'll need to acquire) along the way, for the most part you'll be using your own custom vehicles and firearms to get by. So it's a good time to take stock and make sure your garage and your arsenal are prepared for all possibilities. Silencers on guns and RPGs in general are especially useful for certain Heists while four-door vehicles with added armor can come in handy if you like to keep your friends close. With GTA Online Heists you'll be able to unlock a range of new vehicles and gear including an extensive selection of new outfits perfect for whatever each Heist throws at you.

Challenges

For the financially ambitious there are a few ways to increase the income from Heists in a major way. First off, each Heist has its own Elite Challenge which, upon completion, will yield a substantial cash bonus. These can be completed multiple times, but be warned: they're no cakewalk.

On top of that, there are Special Heist Completion bonuses that can only be achieved once per person, but will add some serious zeros to your bank balance. They are as follows:

First Time – Completing each Heist Finale for the first time, will net you a bonus cash reward

All In Order Challenge – Complete all Heists in order, including Setups, to receive a $1,000,000 cash bonus

Loyalty Challenge – Complete all Heists, including Setups, with the same team of players to receive an additional $1,000,000 bonus

Criminal Mastermind Challenge – Complete all Heists, in order, with the same group of players, without losing any lives, to receive a massive $10,000,000 bonus

Some people who played the heists

"Our overall goal was to break into a laboratory, steal their data, and get out clean, splitting up $540,000 in the process. It featured five setup missions and then the heist itself, and from start to finish it took us almost exactly three hours. I’m confident we could get that down to two-and-a-half or even two flat with an experienced, well-coordinated team, but the point is that these long-awaited four-player online heists are meaty and, in our initial experience, very different from anything else in GTA 5." - IGN

"Precision's needed to survive and thrive for higher scores and rewards, but you're still going to howl with laughter when someone stacks it. For us, it was the accidental parody of Planet Terror's chopper blade decapitation which diced team members waiting to get to the chopper. Or a neck and neck race for pole position during an impromptu race ending in explosive carnage due to an (im)perfectly timed train rolling across the road." - Gamereactor

New Game Modes coming with the Heists DLC

Come Out To Play

A team of three Runners just trying to make it home, and a team of Hunters are out for blood. Runners are well-armed but limited to movement by foot, while the opposition wield free-aim shotguns and ride motorbikes or ATVs. Hunters must stay on their bikes and have access to unlimited lives, while the Runners have just one life but all their weapons available to pick off the Hunters at will.

Siege Mentality

Up to four players stand their ground, outnumbered but not outgunned as they fight to survive against up to 6 determined attackers in a location defense mode, GTA style. Attackers have unlimited lives but fight only with sawn-off shotguns. Defenders have full use of all their weapons.

Hasta La Vista

The chase is on as Truckers in big rig cabs hunt down a team of Cyclists. The Cyclists' goal is simple: reach the final checkpoint without getting crushed under the wheels of the pursuing trucks. Without traditional weapons the Truckers must rely solely on their vehicles to crush the Cyclists. Meanwhile, the Cyclists must harness the maneuverability and acceleration of their bikes to evade the trucks, while keeping an eye over their shoulder. If one of the Cyclists reaches the checkpoint, the Cyclists win. If all Cyclists are terminated, the Truckers prevail.

Daily Objectives

The Los Santos daily hustle just got a little more lucrative. Whether you tend towards Jobs or free-form activities, Daily Objectives will give you a rotating series of challenges to take on for GTA$ rewards. With three new objectives per day, players can stack up challenges over consecutive days to earn bonuses of up to $500,000

Other Confirmed/Rumored Details

-There will be 5 heists as followed: The Series A heist, The Fleeca Job, Pacific Standard job, The Humane Labs Job and The Prison Heist

-Heists to come March 10th(Thanks for suggestion below)

-Every Vehicle that comes with the Heist DLC that's purchasable will add up to over 8 Million Dollars(Proven by achievements, See Below)

-New vehicles/Clothes/Customisation to come(See Below)

and heists are coming 10th march

[Trishan99]

Done Both Thanks

[Trishan99]

Bump, Keep it Live so people can See this thread for anything they need to know.

[OVO]

What about the leaked/confirmed vehicles? Maybe you could add something about that.

Great summary tho

First time I've seen those achievements. Interesting.

[xRainin Bullets]

Achievments are officialy up on 360 not on the One yet though I can confirm these are the achievements.

Ok will do!

[dead goon]

The "Live a little" one is intriguing...

[muddeprived]

I read "All Talk" and groaned. I wonder how I'm gonna fit in, if I can. I don't own a headset and cannot use one because I am deaf so they are pointless. Will I still be able to participate or will everyone kick me out of every session because I refuse to communicate (cannot)? It's happened a few times in the past where I was booted because everyone demanding a mic.

What I personally suggest is to join randoms and when one of them don't kick you just simply slow off your skill a little and add them. That could help

Ouch! That's a tricky one. Wonder if the devs have anticipated hearing-impaired players cooperating in the heists.

As I understand, most people will not do these heists with total strangers due to trust issues and other obvious drawbacks, in top of that you have the completion bonuses.

That means that if you can set up a team beforehand and inform them of your communication challenges, I suppose there will be ways to work around it.

That might include several team members having played through the preps and heists beforehand, as to minimize the need for on-the-fly-information.

It's an extra challenge compared to those who simply just don't have a mic, as they at least can hear what the other team members are saying.

That being said, it's highly unlikely that you are in a unique position, so there ought to be solutions and work-arounds for this.

 

Personally I don't have any friends on my current system, so I will most likely have to wait untill the PC version before I can play the heists, anyway.

Either that or make some new friends. Yeah, that's not gonna happen....

If this thread is any indication how many headset users there might be, you should be fine. http://gtaforums.com/topic/771074-will-you-wear-a-headset-for-heists/

Yes looking forward to heists, but looking forward to the new content more so

[soundism]

@muddeprived

 

If you are on the Xbox one, you can send and receive messages via smartglass. That would be my recommendation. If you have some decent friends, they will make the time to communicate via text. PM me if you need some good people to play with (Xbox one only sorry)

if it wasnt for the fact the op of the pinned heist tread is apperantly to lazzy to make a roundup like you did, i woud say this tread is one of the most pointless at the moment

yet since thats not the case, thanks for avoiding people needing to go trough all those pages just to find most if the info that has been known at the moment

[#DXPPER]

Are we allowed to post leaked car pics or nah?

I had checked if any of these actually existed. I saw nothing, So I was just like..Yeah, I'll make one then.

 

Are we allowed to post leaked car pics or nah?

 

Sure. Is it ok if I use your pics in the original Post?

Give everyone something to look at?

Tuesday at 00:00 or just sometime that day?

[Trishan99]

Tuesday at 00:00 or just sometime that day?

It's dependent on where you live

If in the UK, expect it to drop at 11am or thereabout.

[The Huntsman]

So it does have achievements/trophies. Well, at least the one for the $10,000,000 challenge isn't an achievement. The hardest ones will be the one without getting hurt, and the platinum awards. Those will be the challenges, like playing heists in first person, but hopefully there are enough awards that we don't need to do the super hard ones. I'm sure after the heists are played, one of them will be deemed the "easiest" and that will be the one people get the no damage one unlocked on.

[GR Choke]

No because i have waited too long

[8up local]

some may get excited about heist finally coming out, but i can not see it living up to peoples expectations.

within my crew we solved the issue of communication with a crew IRC chat, allowing those without mics to give input and talk to each other.
