The plan of the robbery (Planning Stage). Huge jackpot

Good day everyone. The Gamebizclub team is in touch. Today we will talk about such a thing as money in GTA 5. Currency was a priority goal in all parts of the franchise - if you remember GTA Vice City or San Andreas, then all players were faced with meager payouts for missions. And I wanted to buy all the real estate and weapons at once.

But since there was not enough for anything, they had to become malicious cheaters. And if there were a lot of weapons, then there were not enough for various kinds of buildings.

Seeing a golf club in the fifth part for $150,000,000, there was a great desire to buy it. If you play the game correctly, and know what and how to make money, then your cash will many times exceed these 150 million, and the cache of all three characters will be measured in several billion dollars.

First, let's prioritize:

Do not expect a miracle - if GTA 5 is completed, then re-passing missions according to our guide will not bring additional money.
Don't touch the kill missions given by Lester Cross, except for the ones that need to be completed, we'll list them. You will find the completion of Lester's missions not described in this article in our guide - how to make money on the stock exchange in GTA 5.
Do not spend what you earn, or spend as little as possible - every penny counts until you start playing the stock exchange.

So, it's enough to generalize everything - let's move on to particulars, namely to the missions themselves.

From this article you will learn:

Case 1 - The Jewel Store Job

Preparatory stage: some accomplices open only after you help them get out of some kind of trouble. In this case, you will need a shooter, who is not in the list of accomplices by default.

In order to open it, walk to the Dollar Pills pharmacy near the house of Aunt Franklin, located in Strawberry:

Here you will have the opportunity to complete a random task from the category of eccentrics and other strangers, which is called Getaway Driver. Patrick (Packy) McReary, familiar to you from the fourth part, is standing near the pharmacy with his partner, holding a pharmacist at gunpoint, and bickering about the lack of transport to leave.

Franklin needs to quickly get a four-door car and as soon as the bandits get into the car, break away from the police, since there will be only two search stars, and there are railway tracks nearby where you can hide from the chase.

It is important to avoid accidents, otherwise unlucky fellow travelers may run away from you. If everything is in order, they will give you $ 1,000 and offer further cooperation.

In this mission, Michael de Santa and Franklin Clinton have to rob the Vangelico jewelry store located in Little Portola, in Rockford Hills. You are offered to choose between a quiet and loud option, everything is simple here - choose a quiet one, because the less noise will be produced, the better.

Now let's select a command:

For the role of a hacker, it is best to take Ricky, who was fired from LifeInvander. After the "Friend Request" mission, where you need to insert a bomb into a prototype phone, Ricky will call Michael and offer his services.

Although his skills look worse than those of other contenders for this role, there will be enough time to collect everything. Of course, you can take a more experienced cracker, but he will have to pay more.

The shooter will be Pakki, above we described how to open it. You may be wondering: why him?, and the answer is simple - he will be no less useful than Gustavo Mota, but at the same time he will be paid two percent less, and, as we said earlier, saving is our everything.

If we compare Packy and Norm Richards, then everything is completely transparent - no matter how you go through the first robbery - you will lose Norm when you try to escape from the police.

In addition to the fact that you will lose an experienced shooter, thanks to which there is a chance to get extra money during the last robbery, you will also lose some of the money if you cannot drive exactly on the bag.

In choosing a driver, stop at Karim Denets. Let's face it, he'll make the chase a little more difficult because he'll opt for road bikes, but his services are six percent cheaper than Eddie To's, and the type of bike is not known to affect the amount of revenue.

Now, after the whole team is complete, you can go through the preparatory stages, and then proceed directly to the robbery, we won’t tell you how to break windows and ride motorcycles, otherwise there will be too much theory.

The second case - The Merryweather Heist

Have you played Trevor yet? Did you get acquainted with his unique style and vision of the world? Now it's time to tell you the whole truth - no matter what option you choose, no matter how perfectly you implement it - everything is in vain, everything is meaningless.

How can you trust a short-tempered choleric like Mr. Philips to plan a robbery? Let's not torment, it will be possible to pull off the robbery, however, there will be no payment, so here we suggest you take the path of least resistance, namely, choose the easiest plan to implement, in your opinion.

First kill for Leicester

We will describe this mission in detail in our next article on how to make money on the exchange, however, there are some nuances that you need to know now.

The task "Murder - Hotel" will have to be completed at a time when you still do not have much money to trade on the stock exchange, but, nevertheless, there will be revenue, which means you cannot miss this moment.

Before embarking on a mission with each character, go to the in-game Internet, namely the BAWSAQ exchange and invest with all available funds in BettaPharmaceuticals.

Now destroy the target and wait the game day. As soon as the increase on PC is 50%, and on Xbox or PS3 it is 80% - sell assets.

Now wait another day and go to LCN, buy Bilkinton shares there, which managed to fall in price by more than 30 percent, and be patient, because you will have to wait about 8 game days, after the shares have recovered in price, you can safely get rid of them, which will bring you about double the income.

The third case - Blitz-Game (Blitz Play)

As well as in the second robbery, your characters do not receive any revenue, it is understandable - the execution of dirty deeds that state organizations entrust to three bandits is free by default. Thank you for not taking away the previously looted.

Case Four - The Paleto Score

Your Sims have planned to rob a bank located in Paleto Bay. Unlike the first two cases, there is no choice in the approach, and the formation of the team is limited to the choice of one shooter.

But this choice should not be underestimated, since a tidy sum depends on it, so we strongly recommend that you read our tips below.

You will have five shooters to choose from, each with its own characteristics and payment terms. First of all, brush aside Gustavo Mota - his share of 14 percent is not justified by anything, you have at your disposal no less experienced shooters who will do the job for less.

Also brush aside Norm Richards, yes, the very long-suffering Norm who was supposed to die in the first robbery. The reason for this decision is simple - if you choose Mr. Richards, then a police car will smash him on the wall and you will have to run after his bag of money.

Another shooter with a relatively low price for his services - Daryl Jones - he is also put on the back burner for now, because the fate prepared for him in this case is identical to the fate of Norm Richards.

So, the Chief remains - Trevor's accomplice in business, and Pakki, already familiar to you. In the default stats, they are the same, and their share is less than Gustavo's by two percent, so you can choose any.

Let's add - if you passed the first robbery using Patrick, then you should choose him, because the skill acquired by him in the first robbery will make him more experienced than the Chief.

Whichever of these two you choose, they will be able to avoid death under the wheels of a car, and also take away some of the attackers behind them.

Now you have a complete knowledge base, to select a shooter, we note that when you exit the bank, each character will have eight million dollars with a small tail on their back.

If you do not allow (well, almost do not allow) the pharaohs to shoot bags of cash, then by the end of the task you will lose only that very small tail, and you will have $ 8,000,000 behind you.

Fifth Case - The Bureau Raid

Preparatory Stage: As in the first case, you will need an accomplice that is not in the list by default, so you will have to deal with the passage of an additional mission. The event in question opens after the first mission, which must be completed for Trevor.

Ride any character along the highway between Paleto Bay and Grapeseed, in the place marked on the screenshot, you will find an overturned car, and next to it there will be a wounded girl - Taliana Martinez, after the protagonist's offer to visit the hospital, she will refuse and ask to be taken to her friends in Sandy Shorrs .

Be careful, because driving too extreme with accidents or, conversely, driving in a snail style, can lead to the death of a potential accomplice.

After the girl ends up in the alma mater of her friends, she will give her consent to the hero's unequivocal proposal for further cooperation.

After Taliana appears in your assets, you can proceed directly to choosing an approach and forming a team. Since cash for a successful business is only for Franklin, choosing between options is not so difficult - we suggest choosing option "B", which involves entering from the roof, because it will bring 30 thousand more.

For the role of the shooter, finally, you can choose Norm Richards, of course, you can take a more experienced one, however, again, this will cost a pretty penny. It is important to remember that Norm is no worse than a minor horror movie hero - he dies wherever possible, so when choosing option "A", it is better to take Packy and Gustavo Mota.

The hacker will be Ricky Lukens - after the first robbery, he gained a little experience, and this is quite enough to implement your idea. Of course, you can choose a more skillful cracker, which will speed up the passage of mini-games, but we save money.

Driver. If you have passed the preparatory stage described above, then there is no need to choose - Taliana is no worse than Eddie To, while the amount that she will have to pay is much less - only 5 percent of the proceeds.

However, if Taliana is not open, we hope that Karim was involved in the first robbery by you - thanks to the experience gained in the first robbery, Mr. Dentz will behave like other experienced drivers - will be waiting for you in an ambulance (for which he deserves special thanks from Michael, of course, not without a caustic mention of road bikes from the first case).

If Karim did not participate in the robbery of the jewelry store, you will have to flee at all times from the cops in a minivan, which he will kindly provide.

The sixth case - Big Jackpot (The Big Score)

The final robbery, which promises mountains of gold to your characters, can also be done in two ways. Option "A" immediately dismiss, because, acting according to this scenario, you will earn 6 million less than possible. Therefore, choose "B" and proceed to the selection of the team.

You will need two drivers - put Taliana as a helicopter pilot, because with such driving skills and a small percentage for work, she will be an ideal companion.

The train driver will be Karim - he will cope with this perfectly, but if you put him at the helm of a helicopter, then there is a chance of losing him.

Two arrows are also required - considering the "obvious" option, it must be said that the arrows do not really affect the passage of this task, so choose the cheapest available.

random events

So, we figured out the robberies, there remains a random event that will add $ 100,000 to your piggy bank, not so much when viewed on the scale of existing finances, however, the ease of execution makes this money easy prey.

We are talking about the events "City of Bicycle Thieves", of which there are only 2, but we are only interested in one of them, in which we have to return the stolen bicycle to the owner of the AnimalArk corporation. In gratitude, the guy will throw you shares of his company in the amount of about one hundred thousand dollars.

To start the event, visit Little Bighorn Avenue in the Ranch:

That's all we have for today. Share the guide with your friends on social networks and subscribe to blog updates. All for now.

I think a lot of people have trouble finding muscle cars (muscle cars) in preparation for a Big Jackpot mission or robbing a federal vault. If you do not know where the muscle cars are, then this article is for you.

Of course, the developers of the game planned that each gamer would look for cars on their own. But, I think many, however, like me, were too lazy to drive around the city and spend a lot of time searching. Therefore, let's leave this matter to the most devoted fans of the series who love to play through the game slowly, enjoying every moment. And for those who want to quickly find these cars and continue the passage, this article is written.

Map location of muscle cars in GTA 5 (Gauntlet). Click on the map to enlarge it. The yellow dots mark the places where the muscle cars are located in GTA 5. The first, second and third Gauntlets are marked.

And here is a close-up map of the location of muscle cars:

The first muscle car is located in a multi-tiered parking lot, to be more precise, on the fourth tier. In the screenshot below, the entrance to the parking lot.

We boldly rise and find our Gauntlet.

Finding the second and third muscle car in GTA 5 will not be a problem, if you just go to the points indicated on the map above, you will easily find them. Muscle cars will be waiting for you in plain sight:

Location of the second muscle car:

Location of the third muscle car:

I hope that a lot of screenshots with the location of muscle cars (muscle cars), or as they can be called - Gauntlet, helped you find them. If you have any questions, or would like to supplement the article, feel free to write in the comments.

The final heist in GTA 5's single-player mode is a daring raid on the Federal Vault, which is filled almost every day with armored cars filled to the brim with gold bars. As you might guess, this robbery is the pinnacle of the criminal career of all its participants. Therefore, it cannot be easy simply by definition.

There are two options for passing: "quiet" and "obvious". In the first case, we will need to organize an ambush on a convoy of armored cars following the bank for their precious cargo and take the place of collectors. After that, all that remains is to play your part and calmly pick up the gold from the vault. True, hiding, just as calmly, still does not work out, so you still have to uncover the rifles.

The second option is more difficult, but also more interesting. To begin with, you will need to drill, with the help of a drilling rig, a passage to the storage, after which, pick up the cells with gold to the helicopter and, fighting with a whole army of guards, make your way to the garage to hide. Then you will have to wait for an exciting chase and five stars wanted. Even with the delivery of gold to helicopters, not everything will go smoothly. It is difficult, but there will be more money.

Read more about all this in a detailed review and walkthrough of The Big Score mission.

Passage of the robbery Big jackpot (The Big Score)

It's not just a robbery, it's Big Jackpot! As Lester says, "We're going to make history" by robbing a Federal Vault full of gold bars. This robbery has two options for passing, which differ not only and not so much in methods, but more in reward: for a “quiet” passage you will receive much less money than for a “loud” one. But first things first.

Planning something as serious as robbing the Federal Vault is no easy task. The team is divided into two groups: Michael and Franklin will go to the vault to assess the security, and Trevor and Lester will fly in a helicopter to fix the route along which the cash machines are moving. After the route becomes clear, Lester asks to fly to the subway construction site next to the bank to inspect the unfinished tunnel, which is closely adjacent to the wall of the bank's vault. Before completing this mission, it is better to practice flying a helicopter if you have not mastered this skill yet.

Road spikes (Stringers)

For a "quiet" passage, we need road spikes that only the police have. We need to steal a police van parked in the parking lot of the police station. Follow the marker on the map, enter the area, through the fence at the back of the area. Then just get in the van and drive away. Just do not attract the attention of the guard, otherwise problems with the police cannot be avoided!

Gauntlet

The next thing you need for a "quiet" passage is a good escape vehicle that can also carry a load of gold bars. Muscle cars located in different parts of Los Santos are perfect for this purpose. The hacker will dump the location data of the cars on your phone, find each one and take it to Los Santos Customs near the International Airport. There you need to buy an improvement for the mission and take the cars to the garage located nearby. It’s better, moreover, not to spare money and “score” Gauntlets to the fullest - during the mission, this will surely come in handy for you.

This way of passing will bring you less profit, but it will be much easier than the "loud" one. At the beginning, go to the tunnel marked on the map and install road spikes. Collector trucks will appear soon. Once on the spikes, they will stop, and the team will take the collectors hostage. While the trucks are being re-tired, Michael appoints a "volunteer" collector to take them through bank security. This unfortunate person turns out to be a certain Cassie.
We get to the bank and, keeping a straight face, we pass through the security posts. A bank employee will meet us inside and check the documents. Follow him deep into the vault. Trevor and Cassie take carts loaded with gold and push them towards the trucks while still making small talk with the bank employee. The tension builds, but everything ends happily - the trucks leave the bank and head to the meeting point.
Control switches to Franklin. Here you will need to control the traffic lights to guide the trucks through the city, do not let the Merryweather patrols find them. Once the trucks are in place and Cassie gets hers, get ready for a serious attack by the Merryweather mercenaries. Defend until the forces of the attackers run out, use all available weapons and often switch between characters. When the last mercenary finds his untimely death under your bullets, get into the cars and follow the rest of the team. Of course, you've already got a tail of police cars behind you, so don't forget to use Franklin's super ability so as not to crash the car.
Having reached the tunnel, drive, that there is urine, up to two trucks, with lowered ramps. On them you need to drive inside, before the trucks go outside the tunnel. Ready! Now it remains only to wait until Lester deals with the sale of production.

The Driller

For the "loud" option of passing, you will need an industrial driller used to build the subway. This colossus is at a construction site, as if specially for our convenience, placed on a truck platform. The mission can be completed without hiding if you are not afraid of a small confrontation with the police, but in order to receive the gold reward, it must be completed quietly, without making a fuss. Just try to shoot everyone in sight with a silent weapon, then get into the truck and drive the drilling rig to a point on the map.

Getaway Vehicle

This mission is also required for the "loud" version of the passage. Any four-seater and fast enough car will do. It is better not to spare money and tune it to the fullest, believe me, during a robbery, when you have five wanted stars and a whole army of police behind you, it will pay off. The car must be left in the parking lot of the bank.

Siding (Sidetracked)

Another necessary thing for the "loud" version of the passage is a locomotive with a railway platform, in order to have something to take away the booty. To begin with, they will give us control of Michael. They need to knock out two railroad workers at the station and switch the switch. Don't make a fuss or the mission will fail! When the train enters a dead-end branch of the track, control will switch to Trevor. Fly to the train in the Skylift cargo helicopter, pick up the locomotive and take it to the Sandy Shores airfield. Here you will need to carefully lower the locomotive onto the truck platform. After that, do the same with the railway platform.

If you want to earn some money at the end of the game, this option for passing the final robbery is just for you. In the beginning, Michael and part of the team distract the guards in the depository, while Franklin operates a driller in a subway tunnel. As soon as the vault wall collapses, quickly run inside and plant bombs on the doors of the cells with gold. Special Forces groups will begin to stay from different sides, fight them off, then roll the carts with gold to a hole in the ceiling of the tunnel, from where a helicopter will pick them up.
We switch to Trevor and take the helicopter out of the city, everything will be calm here, for now. We switch to Michael, make our way through the army of police officers, connecting with Franklin's group along the way, and move towards the parking lot, where we left the transport for the retreat. It will not be easy to break through, you will be attacked both from the ground and from the air, and in huge numbers, and with great zeal. We get to the car and begin to get rid of the chase. How to do it? We think you yourself know. You can just drive off into the sunset, leaving your pursuers far behind, or you can hide in some alley and wait there.
As soon as you get rid of the chase, control will switch back to Trevor. You need to bring the gold safe and sound to a moving train, not far from Sandy Shores. The only problem is that several Buzzard helicopters are chasing you. Fortunately, you have Lester on board, who is quite good with a rocket launcher. You only need to stand at the right angle to attack and keep the car level until it fires. After destroying all enemy helicopters, fly to the moving train and carefully drop the load onto the platform. Ready! Now big money is waiting for you! Head to the Sandy Shores Airfield to meet with the crew.

Possible loss of gang members

If Trevor fails to keep the helicopter level and Lester, in turn, fails to shoot down the attacking helicopters during the final phase of the Big Jackpot - Trivial Approach mission, the pilot of the second helicopter will eventually lose control, under attack from opponents and collapse to the ground, leaving the team without much of the loot. Such pilots can be Taliana Martinez and Eddie Thaw.

Karim Dentz can also die in both variants of the robbery. In a "silent" playthrough, if his riding skills are low, he will crash his Gauntlet while escaping and be arrested by the police.
In the "loud" version, if he is driving the second helicopter with gold and if his skills are low, he will crash into the wind generators and die.
