What's your average wait time for Heist Missions?

[Rammer2k]

For those that mostly rely on randoms when doing Heists. How long do you usually have to wait from hitting the Auto Invite to finally starting either Setup, or Finale? Rockstar has claimed to have improved the matchmaking with each update. I know when Heists first came out, I would wait for up to 45mins just to do a simple Setup Mission. With the Quick Play option allowing players to join heists rather quickly, has the wait time improved much? Or is it still pretty much hit and miss?

1 week

If you count in the network errors and failed heists / heist setups, it might easily be 30mins. That's why I only prefer heists with 4 people who are dedicated to play and play from a same invite only-session.

Dunno 15 mins? But during the orginal heist update (without the patches after) I would be stuck waiiting 30 minuts or ecen 45!

5min

Usually a couple of minutes, what makes me laugh though is when it's still saying "looking for job" and a heist box pops up above the HUD.

it really does depend on what the set up is. The finales fill up really quick because of all the leaches who only do finales and never help with set ups.

 

The set ups for the Fleeca are really easy to find people for, probably because #you don't really even need to move so long as the leader drives.

 

Seires A trash truck though and Series A weed I was waiting for about 12 hours (not consecutively!) with hardly anyone joinging, then people leaving not lang after the start of the mission. Have avoided Seires A like a plague since.

 

Hadn't played ehists for a month or so and then went to earlier. It was for the Insurgent set up for the Huumane Labs Raid. Found a match within 10 mins and then they quit... then 20 mins later found more people, we failed twice and some guy quit... I give up on heists now.

A minute, A day or a month

Ironic as I actually like Trash Truck and find it quite easy, especially when driving as I know where the bags actually spawn, although when people don't realise and I back the truck over them is never good

I always make sure I have people online to do them. F playing with randoms who refuse to use their mics. So usually its only a few minutes for me.

Usually 5-10 minutes. On a rare ocassion a full lobby would take 1 minute if it's a heist finale or if a crew or friends are playing for Criminal Mastermind challenge.
