Complete Guide to the Elite Challenges


Recommended Posts

Yea, I already tried to fly the Valkyrie backwards, but it doesn't work :)

 

If the incoming buzzards can be taken down quite quickly with the Valkyrie front gun, and if everyone is already on board at the beach, I feel that there could be a strategy to take the buzzards down quickly and safely enough.

 

I don't know if the damage has been changed but I don't remember that I've ever seen the damage requirement of 2% to fail. And getting hit more than 2 times requires really bad gunning IMO :D

I agree the first 4 buzzards can be taken down easy enough with the pilot and gunner in the valkyrie. But once you take off from the beach what do you suggest when you have an additional 4-5 buzzards flying behind and shooting rockets.Or are you saying to try taking down all buzzards before picking up the crew on the beach?

Very good points. Humane Labs, above others, is like a puzzle where each player has to orchestrate everything to the second. Even when you have all the movements imprinted it your memory you still need luck on your side. I was the gunner, and I tried each mountain peak, tried staying with the pilot. Ultimately we figured out (for us) the GTAseries way was the best way to do it(going to the highest peak). One of our guys asked one of the GTAseries members (through twitter I believe) and he said it took them the better part of a week to finnish it as well.

Like what StangeOne50 said, we'd keep an eye on the timer and take off at 9:50 no matter what, because if you pass that you'd never make it anyhow. I can tell you one thing, destroying all the buzzards without taking any damage and the timer shows 9:50ish, it really gets your heart pumping hard lol.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if we started Elite with Humane Labs I don't think we would have finnished any of them haha.

I mean that after the 4 first buzzards take off from the beach with all 4 players on board, and taking down the rest in some mixed way of flying a bit towards the final checkpoint and taking down the buzzards when they come. But sure this is just theory, and is it even a lot quicker, I don't know... But the fact that you can get hit 1-2 times gives more options to the final part of the mission...

The Humane Labs elite challenge still gives me nightmares.

Yet to take it on fully here. I know you can cut a good bit of time and make the bike run in 2.35-40 but it requires all 4 to make a clean run from the city which is tough. With an alert pilot and good gunners you may just be able to make a break for the end if you take out the first choppers early. Worth a try?

Just completed the Fleeca Elite challenge with my mate.

When we finally did it, it said "ELITE CHALLNGE VOID - DO NOT QUICK RESTART", even though we didn't quick restart!

Okay, so here's the catch - were quite pissed, but after the cutscene, I checked my stats and it said 3/5 (had 2/5 before that), and I noticed I also got the 50k.

 

Sadly, we will never know what time we got, but at least we actually completed it even though te text got glitched. :p

Just to clarify, is the only difference between Normal,and Hard difficulty is the extra team life? The enemy A.I has the same strength, accuracy, etc?

 

There is not a way for me to prove it objectively but after doing the Elite Challenge for 3 weeks the feeling I got from the A.I. cops and other NPCs was they acted the same way on normal or hard.

 

There are some advantages to setting difficulty to normal, off the top of my head, on the Pacific Standard job setting the difficulty to normal means less cash the hacker and demo need to pick up so that will save you some precious seconds.

I'm on PS3 by the way, current gen and PC may be different.

That's actually not true! I thought so too for a while, but after watching a few gameplays on YouTube, the difficulty doesn't change the packets of money you have to get on PacStan. It's 45 packets of cash for both on either difficulty.

Indeed. Each packet on normal has $10,000 while on hard each packet has $12,500.

It doesn't change the actual amount of packets, however.

Hey everybody. So I have made a race that mirrors the route used for the pacific standard heist elite challenge youtube video in the OP. Its for practicing the route to get the elite challenge, cmm challenge, or just another way to complete the mission. The link is posted in the creator section (I didn't know if I could post the link in here). Mabey KatyPerry could check it out, if its good enough you may want to add it to the OP for use.

This is so gay, I've done pacific heist WITH TELEPORT GLITCH and it was 14mins what the f*ck is this bullsh*t, there were 6-8mins left on clock

So you tried to cheat to beat the challenge and you think it is gay that it didnt work? lol

well, when i wasnt cheating i didnt get the challange too, so i tried that one instead becouse why not?

Just make sure you get to the bikes by 5:50 and have a team that can ride a bike. Its definately not the hardest of the challenges. Take the correct route and as long as no one falls you should make it.

I bet that we lost so much time on getting to the bikes not the teleport glitch itself since we was in boat in like 2-3mins from entering the bikes, so yeah, they go for cash i go for challange, we can get even 10k for that heist i dont really care i want that tshirt just

Yes you have to complete all of them.When they are complete you recieve both tshirts. Some are not so bad but you really need a dedicated team.
