Heist failure stories

[DaltonWilliams123]

I was demolitions in prison break heist. The pilot who led a police helicopter into my engines had gone to the yellow marker and I come limping to the beach. The engines occasionally cut out due to the damage. I lift off from the beach and while flying low over the mountains the helicopter cuts out and slides down the mountain destroying it.

At the end of the prison heist I press triangle to get into buzzard and it walks me around the buzzard into the blades :-(

Getting the plane for the prison setup , running to our cars at the beginning , a random gets hit by a speeding car killing him instantly . My jaw hit the floor . Look both ways kids .

Prison Break Heist

 

Made it to the very end, we all parachuted out of the plane, one of the ground team chuted in the water, didn't know how to swim upwards and he drowned...

[oleg_aka_djmeg]

I make it to the cliff in the last heist, jump off the bike, it caught up to me airborne and hit me, causing an instadeath > heist fail.

[Bxx]

The mission you gotta photograph the vans.

I absolutely don't understand why the game gives the navigators the opition to choose their own cars. Every random joe hops in their Zentorno ignoring the fact they're not the ones that should be driving, but giving directions.

 

They should have programmed in a way that the navigators can only hop in the passenger seat, and not be able to pick their cars of course.

Played for quite a few hours yesterday evening, we were just doing the final heist and I joined when they were on the convoy setup. These people were: my buddy (1) and 2 other guys from his crew. 3 of us were rank 100+ and the other guy was around 65, now I'm sure that rank doesn't mean much (aside from amount of health and body armor you can carry) as we had a rank 215 later on and he kept dying, but he was the sole reason that we kept failing through this setup, the last setup with the bikes and the finale. It came to the point where the leader started raising his voice on the guy and threatened to kick him out and find someone else xD. We had to do both setups at least 5 times cause he would keep on finding some way to manage getting himself killed.... even when we had all the bikes and all he had to do was drive it to the location, he finds some way to blow himself up while on it (all the enemies were dead too). The finale was a complete disaster, plus I couldn't even complete it with them as there was something wrong and i never got an invite from the leader, they had to find 2 randoms and eventually finished it.

How did these dudes manage to play at all before heists? I mean problems swimming at this stage?

Oh, fail stories! I have a few of those.

 

The first overall fail goes to my original heist crew. Not that they were incompetent in the game, they just sucked at being human persons. Two of them were brothers with obviously no concept of how to communicate with others. If they said they would have to go afk you never knew if they would be back after 5 minutes, half an hour or never. And so my second day of heists ended in the middle of the Humane Labs preparation with no idea if we would continue after dinner or not. The next day I get a PSN message asking if I had time in about... right f***ing now. When I got around to reading the message none of them were online, neither in the game nor on teamspeak, but I left a message that I would be ready for heists later that day. When I next met them on teamspeak they were just finishing the Fleeca heist with a new guy, and after a few minutes of friendly chatting they banned me from the ts server and deleted me from their FLs. Way to man up. Must be the most immature and cowardly people I met this year (and that's saying something).

 

The fails with my new heist crew are of the more entertaining variety. They are sort of the opposite of the first crew with many low levels in the game but a far superior grip of how to behave around humans and have fun. (We change the actual heist crews frequently since we have people to spare. Basically we start as soon as there are any four people available.) Yesterday we did the second half of the prison break and sometimes we failed in ways that I normally would not have imagined:

• While fleeing with the Casco during the prep mission the driver screamed at his colleague to shoot an enemy. Said colleague misunderstood him and shot the wrong guy, so the first guy shot the driver. Funny thing is that the driver could have just as well shot the enemy in question. He just forgot he could shoot at that moment.
• Next prep mission: my colleague an me drive to the city hall to kill the attorneys. We ready ourselves at the yellow marker, both masked with sniper rifles drawn, not moving, waiting for the car to arrive. Suddenly the mission fails. Somehow we compromised the mission. Ehm, what?
• Same prep mission, next try: this time it's the villa team's turn. Somehow they managed to shoot at everything but the one guy they were supposed to kill.
• Same prep mission, next try: my colleague forgets which guy he was supposed to kill. As a matter of fact, he hardly recognises in time that those two guys getting out of that one car are our targets. Well, his target got away. Failed.
• Same prep mission: this time everything goes flawlessly, only for my colleague to fall off the roof onto the very street where just now the police arrive. Well, there goes our team life. Fortunately for us, the mission succeeds anyway.
• Prison break finale: the prisoner decides that a gas tank would be a good place to take cover. It was not.
• Prison break finale: our pilot somehow thinks the safest place for the Velum is as far away from the Buzzard as possible. So I, the guy in the Buzzard, felt a bit like a spectator at a race with Velum and Lazer passing me at a distance at maximum speed with no chance at all to catch the jet with a missile or two. For a moment I wondered how long this could go well. Then the moment was over and so was the heist. The plan was shot down.
• Prison break finale: our pilot tried to be clever and waited with the take-off until the last possible moment... or what he thought that was. In reality it was a few seconds after the last possible moment and his time ran out before reaching Sandy Shores.
• Finally we were able to complete the heist in a heavily smoking Buzzard that would probably have gone down just a couple of minutes later. Why was the Buzzard damaged? Well, during the final escape a police helicopter got a few good shots in when it basically spawned next to the Buzzard, but quite some damage had been suffered before... when our pilot managed to ram me while I was hovering still and waiting for the first jet to arrive. Funniest moment was when one of the pilot's friends/crewmates entered our ts channel and reacted with: "You let THAT GUY be the pilot? Are you STUPID?" He seems to have a certain reputation...

During the Fleeca getaway I ramped off a cop car, launched off the bridge and landed in the Zancudo River.

 

Still don't know how I got airborne, must have been a physics glitch.

[iddqdvie]

last heist finale, the bike jump at the end. still over 1.2 million in the pockets. everything went perfect.

 

i jump, i get off the bike, i open my parachute, i fly -BANG- another lectro hits my head. parachute gone. free fall -DEAD

[roboticsuperman]

My biggest fail so far? Waiting 45 mins for 3 randoms to join my setup mission!

omg the same exact thing happened to me

[HirsuteDave]

I had a good one tonight. One of my friends was on the ground team for Humane Labs and did well right up to the point where the team have to swim out of the facility. All I could hear was "my rebreather's not working" and "why isn't it working?" I only twigged to the problem on the flight back over the Alamo Sea:

Me: "Did you still have your nightvision on?"

Him: "Yeah."

 

 

Aced it on the next attempt though so it wasn't so bad.

[The-SpecialOne7]

Getting the plane for the prison setup , running to our cars at the beginning , a random gets hit by a speeding car killing him instantly . My jaw hit the floor . Look both ways kids .

 

Same thing happened to me the other day doing a prep mission. I LMAO so badly....

[silverstone]

Just had one

Doing the Humane Finale and all is well , reach the beach and wait for the chopper to pick me up , see him crash into the water right before my eyes *facepalm*

 

2nd time , we evaded merryweather choppers and he just randomly lands and flattens me at the side where i was manning the gun -.-

[shobhitlion]

My biggest fail so far? Waiting 45 mins for 3 randoms to join my setup mission!

Same here bro :C

[The First Hunter]

Me and three of my friends were doing the Prison break for the fifth time

We barely got into the plane and lost the cops

We jumped out of the Velum and two of us reached the beach and one of us in the Buzzard waiting and the last guy forgot to open his parachute and he dided:|

[paulmgrath]

@locche friggin hilarious

[the nameless]

I f*cking hate this game sometimes, or at least the dicks who play it. I just spent over an hour trying to get the emp. First off 2 decided to shoot our cars while waiting in the dinghy, and shooting flares all over the place (this is the new horns at the start of races), then they killed me once by blowing up the planes on the aircraft carrier - while I was next to one. Then it's a mad dash to get to the Hydra first, the guy closest always wins and always crashes it on landing - just swallow your f*cking pride and let someone else try and fly it. To top it all off, is my patience rewarded? No, someone leaves after all that time.

 

Then I get back to free mode and some c*nt shoots me in the head as I walk out of my own appartment I have been kicked from!

 

Could it get any more frustrating? Oh yes, I accept a Series A - Coke invite, get stuck in the clouds for about 4 minutes before finally joining, and at the clothing selection screen a guy on the head set says "oh man, I don't wanna be paired with some white dude"!

So I was doing the Prison Break Heist finals with 3 friends. 2 of my three friends got the game less than a month ago and are complete noobs. Somehow we did the finale perfectly. We got Heisenberg out of the prison and we got into the plane pretty efficiently. We realize the mission is basically over and we're parachuting down. 3 of the 4 of us already landed and were waiting on one more parachuter. I'm doing air thrusts and other celebrations and in the background I see my noob friend just belly flop onto the sand and died. It was 2:30 in the morning and we were all tired as f*ck and we had to go through the same

sh*t again.

getting off the bike quickly avoids this...

Prison break heist: after failing a couple of time due to my fault (I had motion sensor turned on and I wasn't able to land with the velum XD) we finally succeed and while we're parachuting to the beach my buddy hits a tree and dies, failing again the heist. That was disappointing but we had a good laugh

Sounds frustrating but made me laugh the way u wrote it lol

[ScooterEightyTwo]

I'm still stuck on Prison Break, but I have a few stories to tell of my last attempts at it, with 3 randoms all between lvl 40-50.

 

1.) First crack at it, pilot somehow finds a way to blow up the plane before he's even left the Airport. Fail.

 

2.) We make it out of the Prison with the guy & the Prison Officer decides a trip to Humane Labs is a good idea. Obviously he must be eager to play the next heist. Fail.

 

3.) Prison Officer resorts to explosives to clear out the NOOSE. Proceeds to blow up a Prison Bus. That I'm standing beside. Fail.

 

4.) Prison Officer does a burnout with the Bus at the gate. It seems the guards weren't impressed with this. Fail.

 

5.) We make it to the plane, & we were so close, but as I get to the plane I see a SUV with NOOSE coming right for us. I know that it will just crash into the plane if it's not stopped so I raise my weapon. The Officer had other ideas, & runs straight for the plane, leaving me to die. Fail.

 

6.) Again at the plane, the Demolitions fires a missile at a cop car. That was wedged under the plane. Fail.

 

I really need help with this. Anyone on PS4 keen to help out? PSN ID: bigscooter123 (Yes I know it's a stupid name).

This.

[CarnageRacing00]

Humane raid, Deliver EMP, everything has gone perfectly and we were leaving in the van, only to find that all 4 tires had gone flat somehow (we silently killed everyone, no stray bullets), and couldn't make it up the hill to leave, time ran out and we failed.

[SaltyGTAFMember]

The pacific job when the host keep dying and when finally making it to a cliff then the host hits a tree and dies.
