Preliminary information
In GTA 5 you can carry out robberies that, as already mentioned, allow you to earn money illegally but quickly, to be spent on other features of the game. While in the online mode of GTA you can start these activities in full freedom, in the offline mode (called Story ), the heists can only be performed during the missions of the main campaign.
In any case, know that robberies in Online mode are activities that can be played as often as desired and require cooperation with other players: they cannot, therefore, be faced alone.
Instead, you will be able to face alone and repeat whenever you want the robberies that you will play in the Story mode of GTA (through the appropriate panel of the summary of the missions): in this way you can also get all the gold medals available and use different approaches to to land the hits.
Having clarified that, in the next few chapters I will show you how to unlock these activities in the online mode of GTA 5 and I will also explain how to perform the heists in the campaign of the Story mode of the Rockstar game.
How to do the robberies in GTA 5 Online
If you want to know how to do the robberies on GTA 5 Online , in the next chapters I will give you several tips on how to start and carry out these activities.
General advice
Before explaining in detail how to organize a heist in GTA 5 Online , I’ll give you some tips to make sure everything goes right. First of all, I reiterate that this kind of activity is designed to be played together with other players and not alone.
It should also be noted that some robberies are easy to carry out, while others require greater experience and mastery of the game mechanics. Therefore, although it is possible to participate in these activities together with other players who do not know each other, my advice is to prefer organized groups, perhaps with the possibility of communicating during the different phases of the shot for greater coordination between players.
In addition, I recommend that you always wear a bulletproof vest and always keep maximum ammo for equipped weapons, so as not to run out of it during the shots you are organizing. Finally, you can also think about using armored vehicles that allow you to resist more during the robbery missions.
Organize a robbery
If you want to better organize a robbery in GTA 5 Online, you need to know that this kind of activity unlocks as soon as you reach rank 12 and have purchased a luxury apartment . Once these requirements are met, you will receive a few calls from Lester , who will introduce you to this activity.
After reaching your apartment, a room will be available for the purpose of organizing the shots. Interacting on the blackboard on the wall, you can begin the missions of the different shots available: Blow to Fleeca , Evasion , Raid the Humane Laboratories , amazing Financing and hit the Pacific Standard .
All these strikes will require essential preliminary missions in order to be able to score the final act, which will consist in carrying out the actual robbery (which will be the most profitable).
The first introductory shot is the Fleeca shot , which can be considered a tutorial to learn the mechanics of robberies. The income will be low, on the other hand the mission and the preparations will be short, in addition to the fact that it will not be at all difficult to complete them.
After successfully performing this shot, you will be able to access the next one on the board in your apartment. After each completion of a new robbery, the next one will be available on the board. The Pacific Standard Heist is the highest paying final blow of the five available.
Therefore, after selecting the shot to be made, you can interact with the appropriate panel that will allow you to add players and customize your equipment. In general, the strokes are designed to be played with at least four players, except the Stroke alla Fleeca , which instead requires two.
I warn you that while the first four hits allow you to get a fixed income upon completion, in the Pacific Standard Heist the gain is tied to the amount of money that is successfully brought to the end of the mission objective.
Also, by setting a higher degree of difficulty in each shot you can increase the potential gain at the end of the robbery. In this case, however, for higher difficulty levels it is important to organize the team and to know the role to be filled well, to avoid making mistakes that could compromise the success of the robbery.
In addition to the basic heists available in GTA 5, new heists have also been introduced with the Heists update : the Apocalypse Heist and the Diamond Casino Heist . For the first, it is necessary that your avatar is a CEO and that you have a base of operations among those available in the Maze Bank Foreclosures .
For the Heist at the Diamond Casino , on the other hand, in addition to being a CEO, you must have an arcade , buildings also available in the Maze Bank Foreclosures . As for the classic shots, even in the latter, preparatory missions must be carried out before carrying out the final robbery.
The activation methods of these activities are similar to those I have already shown you for the classic shots: as an essential requirement to access these activities you will have to interact on the blackboard present in the structure you purchased.
In any case, if you want to know more about how to activate a robbery on GTA 5 Online and how to carry out the activities required in order to complete all the necessary missions, my advice is to consult all the tips I have given you in my guide on how to make heists in GTA Online .
How to do the heists on GTA 5 offline
If you are playing the Story Mode of GTA 5 , during the missions of the main campaign you will come across robberies, that is, missions that require a specific organization to be carried out. These will first of all require the completion of preliminary objectives, which will consist in recovering the equipment useful for carrying out the robbery.
In reality, as soon as the Story mode of GTA 5 is launched, you are catapulted into a prologue mission which consists of a bank robbery already underway in the town of Ludendorff . It is considered the tutorial mission that introduces the player to some mechanics of this title.
However, after playing about a dozen missions on GTA 5, including the prologue, Michael will have to reach Lester to carry out a sequence of missions that will lead to the first and real robbery of this title: the heist to the Vangelico jewelry .
The preparation missions consist of an inspection of the jewelry and the recovery of equipment. After choosing one of the two approaches available to carry out the robbery, you will have to recover the necessary equipment (weapons or smoke grenades and a disinfestation van).
After all the preparations are completed, the robbery at the Vangelico jewelry store can be carried out , breaking into the place using the approach chosen during the preparation phase, collecting all the jewels within the time limit and escaping from the police, who will try to stop the player .
Once this is done, another series of missions will follow that will introduce Trevor , the third playable character in addition to Michael and Frank . With the new group of characters, we will move on to the organization of the new robbery against the Merryweather .
Again, the shot will require a preparation phase: inspection and recovery of the equipment. Based on the chosen approach, in addition to a mini submarine, a heavy transport helicopter will also have to be stolen. Once this is done, the goal will be to retrieve a specific cargo from the Merryweather ship docked at the port.
During the GTA 5 campaign there will be four other robberies: the one called Blitz Play , the blow to the Paleto Bay bank , the one to the FIB Bureau and, finally, the one to the Union Depository . While for the Blitz Play robbery and for the shot at Paleto Bay the approach to be used for carrying out the objective cannot be selected, for all the other shots the one you prefer between the two proposed can be chosen.
As for the Blitz Play heist , the aim is to block a security van that contains important documents to retrieve. It will therefore be necessary to recover masks, overalls, a garbage truck and a tow truck. The hit on the Paleto Bay bank , on the other hand, will require a military convoy to be stopped to obtain the equipment necessary to carry out the bank robbery.
For the heist to the FIB Bureau , the preliminary objectives are to obtain the equipment and the attendant pass, to access the guarded premises. In addition, the plans of the building will also have to be recovered, so as to be able to proceed with the raid on the headquarters of the FIB. Depending on the approach chosen, it will also be necessary to retrieve a fire engine.
The final blow is that of the Union Depository : for this robbery it will be necessary to steal a police van and some vehicles modified for the escape, if a more cunning approach is chosen; alternatively, a drill, an escape car and a train to haul the gold out of the vault will have to be stolen.
