The Jewel Store Job (Smart Approach)

Mission 17 of 83HeistThe Jewel Store JobOne of two approaches: Smart

01/05

Briefing

The same store taken quietly. The crew goes in over the roof, drops gas through the ventilation, and empties the cabinets while the shop is unconscious — then leaves the same way the loud crew does, through the sewers and down the river.

The setup is longer and the entry is calmer, but the escape is identical. The choice between the two approaches changes the first half of the heist and almost nothing about the second.

Walkthrough

  1. The gas

    The roof section is untimed, so there is nothing to gain by rushing it. The fifty-second grab timer does not start until you are inside the shop.

  2. The cabinets

    The same two criteria pull against each other as in the loud version — speed and completeness. First-person and a single circuit of the room is the way to hold both, and a good gunman is what makes twenty cabinets reachable at all.

  3. The river

    Franklin's survival is scored. Deal with anything flanking him first; your own damage is not what the criterion measures.

04/05

Gold Medal

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

  1. Quick Grab

    Steal the jewellery within 50 seconds.

  2. Protégé Protected

    Protect Franklin during the Los Santos River chase.

  3. Clean Sweep

    Steal the jewellery from all 20 glass cabinets.

  • Gives the job

    Lester Crest, as they appear in GTA V.
