Mission 43 of 83HeistBlitz Play
An armoured van taken off a street in Cypress Flats in daylight: the road blocked, the doors blown, and then a stand against the police and the tactical units that arrive to answer it.
The only heist in GTA V with a single approach. There is no planning board choice, no alternative finale, and consequently no version of this job a playthrough can miss.
The ram is scripted, so the mission proper starts when the doors come off. Plant the charge and back away before detonating — players lose health here to their own bomb more often than to the guards.
Three criteria are decided in this one stretch: twelve headshots, sixty per cent accuracy and ten character switches. The switches are the easy one and they help the other two — each switch repositions you with a fresh angle, and picking off exposed heads from a new side is what keeps accuracy up.
The gunship must be brought down as Trevor specifically. Switch before engaging it rather than after, because the criterion tracks who fired the shot that destroyed it, not who was controlling the fight.
4 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.
Hawk Down
Shoot down the helicopter as Trevor.
Switch to Trevor before engaging it — the criterion tracks who lands the kill.
Headshots
Kill 12 enemies with a headshot.
Accuracy
Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 60%.
Switcher
Switch character 10 times.
