Mission 12 of 83Heist setupThe Jewel Store Job
The casing run for the first heist. Michael walks into the Vangelico store wearing camera glasses, photographs the alarm, the vents and the cameras, then finds a way onto the roof to shoot the ventilation from above.
Every approach to the Jewel Store Job runs this mission — it is where the crew board is filled in and where the choice between going loud and going quiet is set up.
The Picture Perfect criterion asks for all three security features in a single photograph, and it is far easier from the doorway end of the shop than from the counter. Line the shot up before raising the camera rather than adjusting while zoomed.
The access point is a fire escape rather than the front of the building. Heading straight for it saves most of the eight-minute budget; players lose the time criterion circling the block looking for a way up.
The mission ends at the planning board, and the choice made there is worth more than the medal. A cheap gunman costs a percentage and can lose you jewels in the finale; a cheap driver costs very little. This is the mission to spend on the gunman.
2 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.
