Complete Jewelry Heist (Smart Approach) in GTA V

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's get this Jewelry Heist done the smart way in Grand Theft Auto V. This is where all that prep work pays off, so pay attention to the details and we'll snag that Gold Medal.

Crew Recommendations: For the best balance of cash and achieving the Gold Medal, I recommend Karim as your driver, Norm as your gunman inside, and Christian as your hacker. Christian's extra minute inside is crucial for the 'Quick Grab' requirement.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, after the intro, hop in a car and drive to the Jewelry Store.
2
On the Roof: Once Michael's outside, make your way up to the roof. Head for the yellow marker and toss the gas down the vents. This is the 'smart approach' – it knocks out the employees so they don't interfere later.
3
Inside the Store: After the gas does its thing, head inside. You'll need to smash open as many cabinets as you can before the timer runs out. Keep an eye on your radar; the small green blips show you which cases still have loot. Plan your route to be efficient. Your gunman, Norm, will be helping smash cases too, so focus on the ones he's not near. Mash the button shown on screen to grab the jewelry quickly.
4
Escape!: Once you've got the cash, follow your crew on their bikes. They'll lead you towards the sewers. Stick with them!
5
Defend Franklin: After you switch to Michael in the truck, you'll be in the LS River chase. Your job is to take out the pursuing cop cars before they can hit Franklin and the others. Aim to destroy them as soon as they appear. In the beginning, swerve into them – the bullbars on the front of your truck will make them crash. As the chase moves across the river, keep pace with Franklin. When cars come from the pipes on the side, you can often drive straight through them. Warning: Be super careful not to accidentally hit Franklin or the other rider, or you'll fail the mission and the challenge.
6
Lockup: Finally, meet up with Lester at the lockup. You've completed the mission!

🏆 Gold Medal Requirements

✓Quick Grab (00:50): This is where Christian the hacker helps. Use your radar's green blips to find the remaining cases quickly. Work efficiently, focusing on cases your gunman isn't hitting.

✓Protege Protected: Don't let those cop cars get too close to Franklin during the LS River chase. Use your truck's bullbars and speed to take them out early.

✓Clean Sweep: Smash open all 20 glass cabinets. Keep checking your radar for those green blips, especially when you're down to the last few. If you're going for speed, you'll likely get this naturally while going for 'Quick Grab'.
