Been putting off the last heist for a while now...

[NEONSTAR2000]

I've read and watched so many stories of how annoying this heist can be. It's completely put me off playing it, is it as hard as the other heists or did you find it easier than others?

 

 

[Murciélago]

It's easy but the idiots keep falling off the bikes.

[Hail Sithis]

it's pretty hard if people have no idea what they're doing

[NEONSTAR2000]

I haven't even started the setups yet, I hear the first one requires communication? something that lacks with 95% players I meet in the lobby

[Fail_At_GTA]

Its easy unless you're an incompetent fool who cant ride a bike for more than 3 seconds or isn't smart enough to use their PV.

[NEONSTAR2000]

you can use your pv on the heist?

With friends it's very doable, without them, good luck. I passed it on my first attempt with 3 other friends on hard,ended up with a take over a million. The last two days i've tried it twenty times with randoms and a friend, failed everytime because eventually someone would die. It's difficult but not impossible with randoms but its tests your patience especially if you've done it countless times without dying.

Yeah that's what i'm worried about, I don't have friends who play. Apart from the actual heist itself, how is the setups? are they doable with randoms?

[Panicsferd]

It can be hard if you don't know what you are doing and if you or your members don't know how to ride a bike. I've only done this heist myself once when I was hosting it (to complete the All In Order challenge) and I'm not going to lie, i'm no the best on driving bikes myself so I have wiped out a bit - I think at the end our total take was like 550-600k. Even though are take was really low I didn't want to restart it, because I wanted to make sure that I would complete this heist so that I would finish the All In Order challenge and get my 1m.

I didn't think you can use your PVs on that heist, since as soon as you trigger the scene at the bank your PVs are not visable on the map and I don't think you can call your mechanic to deliver your PV?

For me I completed it with randoms, and it was doable. Even though we only made half of the potential take, I was still glad that we were able to finish it so that I could complete the All In Order challenge.

 

For the first setup mission where you said it needs a mic to communicate, I completed it without using a mic - after a few seconds or so a thing will pop up on the screen detailing which way you should be going to find the truck (it will be arrows, detailing which way you show go like: Strait, Left, Right, and a U-turn if you have to turn around).

Have friend with closest garage ride bike to garage and pick up four door car, pick up friends at bikes and ride to the boat. Yay

I think I'll have to try that whenever I joined the heist or host it myself again.

yeah the set ups are for the most part doable with randoms, the only set up one might have problems with is the bike one.

[Giantsgiants]

It actually wasn't too bad. It's not that hard if you know how to ride a motorcycle.

If you want, give me a couple of days and I can get a map to you marked with the evac boat you need to reach, and possible routes that might keep you from being turned to mince-meat.

 

Be careful when it comes to friendly fire as well - you can't hurt eachother, but shooting the loot bags at all will result in cash loss just the same as if they were hit by enemy fire.

[BamaGoodfella]

The only reason that you should ever use the bikes is if you're trying to complete the Elite challenge.

I was in the same situation, I kept reading about how annoying it was but when I did it, It was only slightly annoying and much easier than it was made out to be. I did it with all randoms on hard and it took us 5 tries. The annoyance comes from having to do the whole bike section over again., but its not like being wanted in free roam. No cop ever came up from behind and hit me. You just have to anticipate there moves.

Drive the bikes to the beach where the pegasus tank spawns, get on jet skis go to dinghy. No road blocks or traffic to deal with. Job done easy as 123. Keep inventory open for body armor.

[NEONSTAR2000]

Let's hope the people I get don't dive on the bikes then! and thanks, Mourticae that would help a lot.

[Guest]

I did it first time

I think I saved a clip from last night where I did the heist with a friend & two <100 rank players, and by following my instructions we only lost $80,000 on the heists. I'll try to upload it and PM it to you.

It's REALLY easy. There's a cop car parked 2 blocks east of where you stash the bikes. Go get it. Easy mode. Don't even need to take the jump, yo can just drive right to the boat.

[El Zodape]

Just take a NOOSE van or a police cruiser and it's easy peasy.

[NEONSTAR2000]

Just tried the first heist, within seconds somebody dies and everyone drives off without having navigators... this is going to be a long night

[Shadowfennekin]

It's f*cking impossible

[CrazyHandz]

With randoms and idiot teammates who always fall off bikes, yes, it is annoying as f*ck.

[CarnageRacing00]

It's f*cking impossible

EASY. Did it first try. Take a cop car. Don't jump, drive down to the boat. EASY.

[NEONSTAR2000]

The first set up is impossible, for some reason nobody has mics on gta?

[mysteriousamg]

Good move make sure you have serious players o yourteam who can ride motorcycles.

[I.haigh]

It's really not that bad if you have people who know how to handle their sh*t on a bike. Find yourself some competent reliable players and you'll be fine.

[CarnageRacing00]

Use your brains. You don't have to do things the way the game tells you to do them. You can get creative and think outside the box. Give it a try some time, you might be really surprised.

 

Any set up mission that allows you to drive your personal vehicle... USE YOUR ARMORED KURUMA. If you don't own one, get one ASAP. Always have at least ONE player in the Kuruma, using it as a rolling shield. You can make nearly any gun fight into a walk in the park.
