Mission 80 of 83HeistThe Big ScoreOne of two approaches: Obvious

01/05

Briefing

The Union Depository taken loudly. Michael draws the response while the vault is emptied, and the gold leaves by helicopter and is dropped onto a moving train before the crew scatters.

The other version of the last job, and the one with the tighter clock: sixteen minutes overall and thirty seconds to get the gold onto the train.

Walkthrough

  1. The vault

    The drill and the charges are scripted, so the sixteen-minute clock is really a budget for everything that follows them.

  2. The NOOSE defence

    Twenty headshots at sixty per cent accuracy are earned holding the bank against the tactical teams, with the two gunmen to keep alive through it.

  3. Cha-Ching

    Trevor and the second driver carry the gold out by helicopter and drop it onto the moving train. The criterion allows thirty seconds, and the marker to aim for is making the drop before the train passes under the bridge.

04/05

Gold Medal

4 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.

  1. Headshots

    Kill 20 enemies with a headshot.

  2. Time

    Complete within 16:00.

    Requires skipping the cutscenes.

  3. Cha-Ching

    Drop the gold on the train within 30 seconds.

  4. Accuracy

    Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 60%.

  • Playable

  • Playable

    Trevor Philips, as they appear in GTA V.

    A former bush pilot running guns, meth and grievances out of Sandy Shores. Violently unpredictable, oddly loyal, and the only one of the three who never pretended he had retired from anything.

  • Gives the job

    Lester Crest, as they appear in GTA V.

    Lester Crest

    Heist planner

    The planner behind the crew's largest scores. Physically frail and technically formidable, he is the reason a job that should be impossible turns out to have a route through it.
