Heists are thrilling and lucrative missions in GTA 5 that require careful planning, coordination, and execution. Successfully pulling off a heist can reward you with a substantial amount of money and other valuable rewards. This article will guide you on how to start a heist in GTA 5.
1. Reach the Required Rank:
Before you can participate in heists, you need to reach the required rank. The minimum rank requirement varies for each heist. Play through missions, complete activities, and earn RP (Reputation Points) to increase your rank and unlock access to higher-level heists.
2. Purchase a High-End Apartment:
To initiate heists, you need to own a high-end apartment with a planning room. These apartments are available for purchase through the in-game real estate websites. Choose an apartment with a planning room, as this is where you gather your heist crew and set up the details of the mission.
3. Meet Lester and Start the First Heist:
After acquiring a high-end apartment, you will receive a phone call from Lester, a key character in GTA 5 who helps organize heists. Follow the on-screen instructions to meet Lester at your apartment. Once you meet him, he will guide you through the process of starting your first heist.
4. Assemble Your Heist Crew:
A successful heist requires a skilled and reliable crew. Lester will provide you with a list of potential crew members for each heist. Choose wisely based on their skillset, availability, and suitability for the specific heist. Some crew members may have specific roles or requirements, so pay attention to Lester’s instructions.
5. Set Up the Heist:
Once you have assembled your crew, return to the planning room in your apartment. Use the planning board to set up the details of the heist. This includes selecting the approach (stealthy or aggressive), choosing the necessary equipment and vehicles, and assigning roles to each crew member.
6. Complete the Required Setup Missions:
Before launching the actual heist, you will need to complete a series of setup missions. These missions prepare you and your crew by acquiring necessary equipment, gathering intel, and familiarizing yourselves with the heist location. Follow Lester’s instructions and work together with your crew to complete the setup missions successfully.
7. Launch the Heist:
Once all the setup missions are completed, return to the planning board and select “Launch Heist” to start the heist. Make sure your crew is ready and well-prepared for the upcoming mission. Coordinate your actions, communicate effectively, and execute the heist with precision to maximize your chances of success.
8. Split the Heist Rewards:
After successfully completing a heist, you will receive a substantial payout. The total reward will be divided among all participating crew members. The leader of the heist has the authority to determine the percentage split for each crew member. Be fair and considerate when dividing the rewards to maintain a good working relationship with your crew.
Conclusion:
Starting a heist in GTA 5 requires reaching the required rank, purchasing a high-end apartment, meeting Lester, assembling a skilled crew, setting up the heist, completing the required setup missions, launching the heist, and splitting the rewards. With careful planning, coordination, and execution, you can become a mastermind of high-stakes heists in the criminal underworld of Los Santos!
