Follow our step-by-step guide to ace 'The Big Score' heist in Grand Theft Auto V, focusing on the Obvious Approach. Master headshots, timing, and accuracy for Gold!
Alright, let's get this heist rolling! This is 'The Big Score' using the Obvious Approach. It's a bit more action-packed than the subtle way, so get ready.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, after you've wrapped up 'Sidetracked' and 'Driller,' look for the H icon on your map. That's your cue to start this whole operation.
- 2Once the intro scene wraps up, hop in a vehicle and drive to the bank. When you get there, switch over to Franklin.
- 3Now, it's Franklin's turn to shine. Use the drill to blast a hole through the wall. Once that's done, plant some explosives on the vault doors.
- 4With the vault open, it's time to get defensive. Take cover and start taking out the police that rush in. Chef needs time to grab the gold, so keep those cops off his back.
- 5After the helicopters have snagged the gold, you'll switch over to Trevor. Your job now is to fly that gold out of the city.
- 6With the gold safely airborne, switch back to Michael. You and Franklin need to make your way to the getaway vehicle.
- 7Finally, Lester will handle the Merryweather choppers. Wait for him to take them down, then you'll need to drop the gold onto the train. After that, you'll land back at Trevor's Airfield, and the mission will be complete.
🏆 Gold Medal Requirements
✓Headshots: You need to land 20 headshots on enemies. When they start pouring into the tunnels, aim for the head. There are also plenty of guys outside when you link up with Franklin, so keep those sights up!
✓Mission Time: Complete the entire mission within 16 minutes. The best way to do this is to skip through any conversations you can, especially the shorter ones.
✓Cha-Ching: This is the tricky one. You have to drop the gold onto the train within 30 seconds. It can be a real pain to line up. Try to follow the descent of the other crew member towards the train. Once it passes under the bridge, get ready. Slow your chopper down so you're hovering right above the train. It doesn't have to be perfect, just get it lined up enough for the prompt to appear.
✓Accuracy: Finish the mission with a shooting accuracy of at least 60 percent. If you're hitting your targets during the firefights, you should naturally get this without too much trouble.
Tips
- This mission requires a bit more precision than the subtle approach, so stay focused.
- Don't waste ammo on the initial enemies; focus on headshots to meet the requirement.
- The 'Cha-Ching' requirement is the toughest part, so practice that drop a few times if you need to.
