Paleto Score Setup and Military Hardware

Master the Paleto Score Setup and Military Hardware missions in Grand Theft Auto V. Get expert tips for Gold Medals, including headshots and sticky bomb strategies.

Alright, let's get these two missions sorted out for Grand Theft Auto V. We've got the setup for the Paleto Score and then the Military Hardware mission. They're pretty straightforward, but if you're aiming for that Gold Medal, we'll cover the best ways to nail those requirements.

Paleto Score Setup Walkthrough

First up, we're starting the Paleto Score setup. You'll get a marker on your map, usually a B, telling you where to go as Michael to kick things off.

1. Head to the Mission Start: Make your way to the location marked on your map as Michael.
2. Pick Up Lester: Once you arrive in Paleto Bay, you'll need to find and pick up Lester.
3. Investigate the Bank: After the cutscene, head over to the bank. You'll need to go around the front or back, shoot the alarm to get the cops' attention, and then bail to a nearby gas station. Just hang out there and watch how the police respond to the alarm.
4. The Race Back: After observing the police response, it's time to race back to Trevor's workplace. You'll also need to choose a crew member to help you out before finishing the mission.

Gold Medal Tip: Leisurely Drive

To get the 'Leisurely Drive' Gold Medal, you need to reach the bank within 03:30. Just hop in Michael's car – it's fast enough – and put your foot down. Stick to the route shown on the GPS, and you should have no problem making it in time.

Military Hardware Walkthrough

Next, we've got the Military Hardware mission. This one is all about acquiring some necessary gear for the upcoming heist.

1. Head to the Convoy: Look for the H icon on your map. This is where you'll find the military convoy.
2. Destroy Escorts and Secure Truck: Your main goal here is to destroy the two escort vehicles that are protecting the main truck. Once they're dealt with, you need to drive the truck to the designated hiding location to complete the mission.

Gold Medal Tips:

• Military Hardware (Headshots): For the 'Military Hardware' Gold Medal, you need to get 5 enemy headshots. The best time to do this is after you've stopped the convoy. Switch to Michael or Trevor and activate their special abilities – this slows down time, making headshots much easier. Focus on getting clean headshots on all the soldiers you encounter.
• Sticky Strategist: To snag the 'Sticky Strategist' Gold Medal, you'll need to use a Sticky Bomb to stop the convoy. The easiest way is to place a Sticky Bomb in the middle of the road where the convoy is expected to pass. When the truck gets close, detonate it. Alternatively, you can booby-trap a car with a Sticky Bomb and leave it in the road, then blow it up as the convoy approaches.
• Winner (Race): The 'Winner' Gold Medal requires you to win the race back to the meth lab. You can choose to race as Trevor on his awesome bike, or stick with Michael and try to beat Trevor back. Either way, just keep your speed up, avoid crashing, and follow the GPS route.
