Mission 16 of 83HeistThe Jewel Store JobOne of two approaches: Loud
The Vangelico store taken by force. Michael and Franklin go in armed, empty the cabinets under a timer, and leave through the sewers on motorcycles with the police behind them and a long run down the Los Santos River to finish.
One of two versions of this heist. The loud approach is faster to set up and harder to finish clean, and it is the version that makes the escape a running gunfight rather than a getaway.
Three criteria are decided inside the store. The fifty-second grab and the twenty-cabinet sweep pull against each other, and the way to hold both is to move along one wall in first-person rather than turning to face each case — the smash prompt registers at an angle.
A cheap gunman panics and costs you cabinets, and the sweep criterion is unreachable without a competent one. If the medal is the goal, this is the mission the crew board was really for.
Protecting Franklin during the river chase is its own criterion. Shoot the pursuing cars rather than the riders, and prioritise anything drawing alongside him over anything behind you — the criterion tracks his damage, not yours.
3 criteria, all of which have to be met in a single run. Failing one does not fail the mission — it costs the medal.

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.
