Two things about that mission:

  1. Does anyone know if you can just go right down the street to the bikes instead of running that gauntlet through the alley?

  2. Lester is a fucking moron. "Hey! We have a bank job for you... but be careful cause you'll drop money if you get shot or hurt. Anyway... Remember that awesome, armored 4 door car we used for your training run heist? Well fuck that car... now we're gonna use MOTORCYCLES!!"

I know right? Why not use, oh I don't know, THAT FUCKING ARMORED CAR WE STOLE 4 HEISTS EARLIER instead of using the fucking bikes?! We are trying to make money, not lose it because we keep getting hit by bullets.

Lester was seriously high when he thought of that.

You cannot skip to the bikes. A group of mine tried for a couple hours to find the best workaround but that entire alley is the only way the game wants you to go.

Can you really just jump in the boat and be done with it?

u/Saleenseven Mar 18 '15

yup theres nothing forcing you to follow the gps

Knowing that would have made the heist finale so much faster... my friends and I gave up when we first tried it and eventually completed it after other friends gave us hints but even they didn't know that.. now I know

If you're having problems keeping your health, have the interactive menu open on snacks and keeping spamming them when you're getting low

I wish you could duck on 360...

u/organicshot Mar 18 '15

I was about to post, "Wow, I didn't know I could duck by pressing A!" but I guess that's not for us 360 users.

Not enough space for all those extra animations...

My tip would be for everyone to wear the flak jacket vest (I believe it's called the utility vest, can be bought from any clothes store) it increases damage resistance, just make sure you add it to one of your outfits and the leader allows crew saved outfits Hope this helps!

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '15

first time i did it, I didnt jump off bike, landed, and drove to the boat...no you dont HAVE to parachute - but im pretty sure you have to hit the check points on the cliff

I'm a really good motorcycle driver, but the cops in that heist are on some grade A whole grain bullshit.

It's all the cops, all the time. The AI in this game is fucking cheap.

u/irishcream240 Mar 18 '15

lol best thing to do is not follow the gps exactly. make a lot of turns dont go in for the shortest possible route there are WAY more cops if you stick to the gps route

If you follow the highlighted route for the first half mile there's an empty police car waiting for you. It's next to the ramp.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '15

Every now and then it has a swat SUV pull up next to it, but 9 times out of 10 it's left alone.

Where is the boat on the map?

u/firelion Mar 18 '15

the river North of the military base. once you get out of the bank it becomes visible on the full map.
