Rockstar kinda lazy not having a big HEIST CHALLENGE counter to keep people pushing it up and keeping track... whats to say they wont just claim we beat it and give sh*t away for PR!

 

Next DLC speculation wise... The next DLC could include some kind of in world effects for the heists, say a limit to how much daily money can be heisted from the new heist, if it reaches the limit you gotta wait for the next day to do the finale. jaja

They dun want the society to stop after the amount is achieved.

If the target isn't met, they may shift the result.

I hope in these next few weeks they continue to challenge us like this,   Incentives and keeps everyone busy

They 100% are giving the car away whether people actually meet the goal or not, that’s why they didn’t make a counter to keep track. The goal here is to both bump up player numbers for financial reasons, and to try and weed out cheaters.

$25.2 million currently, only me and 1 friend. Still got 3-4 Casino heists cooking today, plus I gotta do The Doomsday Scenario on my second character, so I'm predicting...at least 8-9 million more today. And then tomorrow and Tuesday, we don't sleep, we don't eat, we nolifing the f*ck outta this challenge.

 

We hope to get at least $75 mil stolen between the two of us, maybe $100 mil if we really put in effort. But realistically, I'd say we'll do <$70mil by Thursday.

A lot people focus on where, instead of focusing on how. That's something I don't see a lot of discussion about. Rockstar said multiple times that this will be new take on the Heists and it got me thinking, how is it going to work. Unless Rockstar ain't pulling our leg, it will be something we haven't experienced yet.
 It cannot be the OG Heists formula, DH formula nor Casino Heists formula. What is it then? Well here are few of my guesses:

1. It could be all formulas combined. This one could be an interesting option, but I have hard time imaging how such system would work. Would you set your crew (like on the CH) before the set-ups that would be more akin to the OG Heist's set-ups? Would you choose them after the set-ups, just before the finale? Have the words "set-ups", "heists" lost their meanings already or can I still repeat them few times?

I feel like choosing the crew beforehand could for example result in the groundwork failing and thus heist itself would become harder. Maybe you'd have to create solutions to the problems on the go rather than getting them on silver plate. You'd have to actually judge yours crew skills which I'd say could lead to an interesting mechanics.
2. SP Heist formula. SP Heists had minimal preparation, one or two missions in advance and you're going straight to the action. That's why imo they all are kinda boring duds, just missions you have to go through, 1st time experiencing one approach will be pretty much the same as 100th time with different crew. But I know that the SP heists have a lot of fans, so I'd say this could be a valid idea for DLC. The Fleeca Job is one of most replayed heists even to this day, thanks to its simplicity and shortness (and the fact it was only 2 player heist for a very long time :D). A shorter, more to the point heists with smaller cuts might work really well, who knows.

3. This one I've actually been thinking the most. With every heists there was always a mastermind above us. Whether it was Lester, Agent 14 or even Avon, we always were the puppets in the master plan of our puppet masters. What if you, the leader, would decide which place, what to rob, how to approach it, find the buyers, etc? I'd say this feels like that evolution that Rockstar teased us with, that next step. It would fall in nicely with the evolution of our characters as well, where we went from cheap guns for hire to multi-million kingpin smuggling drugs, cars and other things.
4. This one takes that last point to another level. What if you and your crew doesn't actually partake in the finale itself, instead it is executed by the crew you hire, aka being useful for once instead of giving you the same set of cars or weapons for YOU to source (lazy f*cks). It might work like a RTS of some sorts. Kinda wild idea but at the same time you never know, Rockstar likes to innovate a lil from time to time.

 

Well outside of these things I also have few other things on my mind related to the next DLC. They are kinda unrelated to all I've just said, but of you're interested, have a read

 

 

First of all I strongly believe that we will be robbing the mansions this time. Again, I feel like the 3rd option I've proposed is most likely and mansions would fit right in there. Steal any valuables from it undetected or just go guns blazing. Even if we will stay at LS, mansions are not explored AT ALL, so there is potential for freshness here, and if we go to certain Island to experience them, that's even better imo .

Another cool idea and something we haven't had heists revolve around are the cars. Stealing a whole collection from some collector might be an interesting idea, but I feel like this approach might get boring quickly for a lot of people. Plus comparison to Import/Export would be inescapable. 

I also feel like North Yankton might see use with these Heists. Rockstar loves to reuse assets and North Yankton is big ass asset that underused. Small changes to the map, you could probably reuse the Prologue's Bobcat Security storage, from where we'd steal some MacGuffin and you have perfect place for a nice and unique set-up mission. This is where the new type of vehicle could be introduced as well - snow mobile. I'd say it would be perfect addition to GTA, especially for the December's snow. Maybe that's the mysterious reward Rockstar been talking about

 

The radios are also a thing that is on my mind lately. We know that some updates to the soundtrack are coming, but IF it is truly a new place I actually feel like they will add more than single radio station. Each area in-game has it's own talk station, and I assume that the talk stations are much cheaper and it's easier to compress them than the songs.

Also as much as people want single heists to be a thing I actually would like to see an option for up to 8 people to play the heists. Obviously this would be just an option, not necessity. Would be just cool to see that.

As for the vehicles, I strongly believe that Cybertruck will be added some way or another. It became way to big of a meme for Rockstar to just avoid it. Outside of that, probably another open wheeler or two, if I had to choose it would be Formula E and 50s Cigar, just because. Obviously super cars, sports cars and all that jazz, but I do hope for more of the "cultural" cars (aka that represent so car culture that's not present in US), like Asbo, Dynasty or Cheburek. I love all of them and I'd love to see more. The new update to the planes/jets, helicopters and boats would be sweet. Those three were untouched for some time now. It would be perfect occasion to add few of them. I especially hope that for new motorcycle that's not a f*ckin' three-wheeler. It's been waaaaaaaaaaay too long since we got proper one, longer than the aircrafts. One last thing is dumb idea I had in the back of my head - self-driving cars (i.e. Google's Waymo). Something similar to the Taxi, but basically on the go. I don't know how much use such thing would have, but it would be interesting to see something like this. Ofc as always I plead for more GTA IV cars.

 

As for the weapons Mk2 are required at this point, AP Pistol and Assault Shotgun are probably the most likely candidates. I'd say Micro SMG, Combat Pistol, Advanced Rifle and Grande Launcher are good guesses too. If we are talking about the new weapons: ADD. THE. BETA. WEAPONS. YOU'VE. CUT. FFS. I'VE. WAITED. 7. YEARS.

So is everybody heisting and doing their part? I am, setting up my own as well as helping other get set up.

Yep!

 

Done 6 Fleeca jobs and 9 casino heists so far, lol. I don't go on call for heisting anymore as I believe it's a trigger to see the ammo loss bug pop up and that drives me nuts, but me and my lad have been running a Fleeca each daily to start a session and prepping one casino run a day each (to do with another chap who also preps a casino heist daily).

 

Had diamonds twice too, which has been cool. Been prepping my mate and lad for the upcoming content, so I take 20% and give them 40% each (easier on the split as I have to take at least 15% so I round that up, and 70% to the lad on the Fleeca's). They've both got over 30m now with more to come.

 

I feel it's gonna get expensive this winter in LS.

[Spider-Vice]

Maybe some R* designers are Payday fans and we'll be getting fully fledged preplanning for each heist along with choosing strategic spots to place guns, choose an escape, etc.  Not that far-fetched actually, especially if the heist truly is a big one, the more choice and variety, the better.

Well Rockstar bought in march 2019 a studio from troubled Pay Day 2 developers starbreeze and what is worth mentioning in Pay Day 2 certain layouts change every time so maybe that was the inspiration behind the casino heist which is pretty cool 

[Spider-Vice]

Yes, they bought Dhruva Interactive which was merged into R* India IIRC. They were Starbreeze's outsourcing studio anyway. Pretty sure I've seen inspiration from GTA V in Payday and vice versa actually too, so yeah.  

[B_E_N_1992]

I had a dream last night that Northern San Andreas was added in GTA O.

 

It was San Feirro and the surrounding countryside.

 

Las Ventura’s wasn’t there as it was too far away and would be a separate map.

 

It was set in 2020 and the map was very clean and modern. On the right of the city there was a massive pool of water with a few big islands and hills on, connected by one big road.

 

It seemed like the morning with a foggy setting.

 

My character stole a bicycle and it had a radio station on the some reason. Everything seemed so peaceful.

Maybe they do it so we can unlock that 'asshole' t-shirt officially. (I believe it was Payday where a player could screw their teammates, but not 100% sure).

 

Maybe it's time to learn what friends on our lists we can trust.

If they added one heist, but split into two goals, and depending on the player's choice, choose between two attempts or even three for each (6 variants in total). The problem is that we don't know what kind of heist theme will be, and I can't wait for the first news or even the trailer. The only thing that comes to mind is a classic. Revenge or Heist. Take revenge on X and possibly kill that person (something like Avon in Doomsday) or Heist on X, steal something very valuable and spare life.

It may turn out that Avery's son or someone from his family wants revenge on us now, or we are making a robbery on the oil rig, maybe yusuf will come back..

 

But probably it will be something that nobody expects.

I know it's bigger but I didn't know they were attached, I thought you just teleport to the normal Casino if your approach makes you go there.

you can technically go from the roof vent in which you normally climp into to go down the shaft, all the way down to the vault without loading screen.

Since you mentioned payday, what if the new update is not just one Heist but multiple.

As in, you source the equipment and intel you need on the regular gta online map then travel to the heist location you picked, complete the mission and escape back home to LS.

They would keep their promise with a new location and it would definitly be a new take on Heists.

Sooo more aircrafts? Niiice. But knowing R* at this point it might as well be a helicarrier...

But I do wonder whats gonna be the next musical "hint" from mods. Maybe:

I think they really nailed it with the Casino Heist formula, and judging by how much people replay them I think R* knows that. If anything I'm willing to bet it will be a similar system, streamlined to be even more replayable.

But I know that the SP heists have a lot of fans, so I'd say this could be a valid idea for DLC.

The problem is that these new heists have to pay out more than any of the old ones, otherwise people will be disappointed. And knowing R*, they aren't going to let us just walk away with more money for a shorter heist. Then again the Casino Heist is very fast, so it really could go either way.

I think this would be too difficult to script. The reason free roam heist preps work so well is that Lester can talk to you over the phone and explain what you need to do, as tiring as it can get.

 

Still, this is the kind of wild and interesting speculation I come here for.
