Choose the looks of your parents and grandparentsThe first step you have to take in GTA Online is to create a character. The process itself is quite unusual. You do not simply chose one of several faces for your character, shape of their nose or angle of ears. For starters, you choose your grandparent's faces - both maternal and paternal. The next stage is to choose your character's sex and set their mother's and father's resemblance.
Next, define the character's lifestyle. Note that your statistics rise or fall depending on how much time you devote to particular activities.
This is how you set the statisticsLet us focus on creating a character that would be just perfect for a beginner. The statistics which will be the most useful are: stamina, shooting, strength, and driving.
To create such character, use the following pattern:
Asleep - 9,5 hrs
With family & friends - 1 hrs
Playing sports & working out - 1 hrs
Doing legal work - 0 hrs
Sitting on the couch - 2 hrs
Partying - 0,5 hrs
Doing illegal work - 10 hrs
Another tab concerns your character's general appearance. First, you set age from 21 to 40. The next step is to choose your hairstyle and hair colour, and optional facial hair. You may also choose a hat and glasses. When everything is ready, click Save & Continue. Now just type in the character's name, accept, and here you go.
The game's startYour first in-game challenge is a race organized by Lamar, known also from the story mode. Try to be the first to cross the finishing line, because this way you will get the second experience level. As soon as the race ends Lamar gives you another task. You have to get to the location marked on the map. Your objective is to collect a bag of drugs. Be careful, you will be thrown in at the deep end. Once you beat your opponents, head to Gerald's to get the stuff. The route will be shown on the map. When you finish the job, you will be promoted to level 3. Before you get full freedom, you still have to follow the game's directions for some time. Now you are required to head to clothes store to do some shopping. Buy any clothes you like and go outside. Since now you are free to enjoy the game's enormity to full extent. At the beginning try to get level 5 by participating in races. I do not recommend taking part in Deathmatch games at the very start, because the only weapon available at this point is a pistol, which does not set your chances very high. Upon turning level 5, you will unlock an SMG - with this you can easily face other players.
Game menu is very clearGame menu in GTA Online is very clear and simple. Press START button to open it.
Interaction menuTo open interaction menu hold Back/Select.
Wanted level is represented by stars in the top-right corner of the screenSome basic information on how to deal with law enforcement officials:
In GTA Online, you usually move around by car. In order to always have a quick access to a car without resorting to theft, which may often result in a police pursuit, it is good to mount a tracker in your car. Once you buy it for your car, it will always be waiting nearby when you log into the game. This is a major convenience, especially when you spawn in the middle of wilderness, where there are hardly any cars to use. To have a personal car, first you need to find a car you like. In other words, you have to steal it. Once you get a car, head to one of the Los Santos Customs shops - they are marked on the map with a spray can icon.
You can mount a tracker in Los Santos CustomsWhen you enter a LSC garage, you will see a list of car modifications. To mount a tracker, choose option Loss/theft prevention. This will roll out another list with two options. Click on Tracker option. This is it. Now you can always find your car. It will be marked on the map with a car icon. The first tracker is mounted for free, every other costs 2000$.
StatsYour GTA Online character's skills are measured in 7 statistics bars
The best way to develop skills is to use them.
Rank determines how others see youYour character's rank determines the range of possibilities you have. The higher your rank is, the more things the game has to offer. Through leveling-up you unlock new vehicles, weapons, jobs, clothes, etc. Basically, the rank also stands for your skills. The higher the rank is, the more respect other players show you (in theory at least). You can level-up in several ways.
Jobs are the game's fundamental featureJobs are the most important aspect of GTA Online. Taking part in them earns you money and reputation points. What is more, through participation in jobs you get practical experience which, though does not influence any in-game statistics, increases your chances of getting a high final position - the more you race, the better driver you as a player become. An undeniable advantage is that currently you are not limited to races and missions. You can also take part in Deathmatch games, parachuting, or Survival mode. As for me, the Survival mode is, right next to missions, the most interesting of all jobs, probably because it is quite demanding and offers gameplay that is typical for Online games which require cooperation between players.
Jobs fall into five categories, which are further divided into subcategories according to the type of gameplay they offer.
You can race on various types of vehiclesThere are various types of vehicles in races:
NOTE: If you happen to fall of the track, miss a checkpoint, or wreck your vehicle, press Y (X360) or TRIANGLE (PS3) to return to the last checkpoint passed.
You can fight alone or in a team(NOTE: You do not have to visit an ammunition store each time you want to take part in this type of actions, because before a game starts you are given a chance to buy ammo to all weapons that you are carrying.)
Missions are varied and often prove to be demandingGTA Online missions have wide variation of objectives. The goals differ depending on the mission type. Missions can be performed solo or with help of other players. It is better to play in cooperation though, because it is more interesting.
Jumping off a helicopter is a good opportunity to admire viewsParachuting is another fascinating competition. To win, you need to get more points than others. You earn these for flying through checkpoints - the closer to the center you get, the more points you receive. However, to finish the competition and collect all the points, you cannot miss the landing zone.
Survival games consist of 10 wavesThis game mode sets you against waves of enemies. If you die, you can watch your friends' progress until the current round ends. You will respawn for the next one. This mode offers ten consecutive waves. To complete the challenge, you need to beat all ten.
NOTE: When a job ends, you can vote for the next one. The number of votes determines which job will be next.
With the patch 1.17, GTA Online gets a new play mode which is "Last Team Standing - LTS". It is a mode which bares many similarities with the team deathmatch. It differs from it with one thing: During the fight, the person with only one life left, has to wait for the end of the round for as long as the winner is not revealed. In this mode it is vital to keep track over the amount of the character's health, pick up the med-kits and armors and to use covers all the time. This mode can be played by up to 16 players. The number of them differs dependable on the map chosen.
Adversary mode covers three types of tasks with the division on different teams of a different sizes. The main point of these missions is to put two opposite teams in the game. One will be defending whilst the other will be attacking the former. Both will have to perform certain tasks, despite the efforts of the offensive team. The mode is unlocked after rank 12.
Come Out To Play -The first type of mission. It can be played by 2-8 players. There are two teams: The Runners (up to three players) and the Hunters. The latter are equipped in the vehicles which type is dependable on the map. They are also given sawed-off shotguns with which they have to kill the couriers before they get to their spots. The Runners have to get to their spots within a particular time. They have got all range of arms, but they have got only one life each.
Siege Mentality - The next mode is designed to be played with 2-12 players. The teams are divided on the Attackers and the Hold Outs. The latter must defend their spot, or more precisely, their lives - as each of them is given only one. Hold Outs can't leave their specified area as it would result with the failure of their team. They have to defend (with the full choice of weapon range) this area from the Attackers which will be equipped only with sawed-off shotguns. The latter win when none of the Hold Outs is left alive.
Hasta La Vista - The last mode requires exactly 4 players. These are divided into two teams: The Cyclists and the Truckers. The rules are simple: The cyclists have to reach the finish line within the 5 minute whilst the truckers have to make sure that the former won't do so. Again, the cyclists got only one life each. The truckers win if the cyclists are dead or if they are not in the finish line after 5 minutes. No one can change their vehicle and no one wields a gun in this mode.
Press the top arrow to enter the cell phone menu. Here you can choose from two options: Quick Job and Jobs List.
Joining jobs with your cell phoneQuick Job menu allows you to join the closest job in-progress. Clicking on Join Random will send you to one of three types of games which are about to start. You can also manually set the type of game you want to join. Depending on your feelings, you can choose between Join Race, Join Deathmatch, and Join Mission. Jobs List, on the other hand, contains invitations from other players as well as missions given by NPCs (e.g. Simeon or Lamar). This tab also holds invitations to jobs which are still active, that is those not yet taken by other players.
You can also join jobs through the game menu. Go to Game menu > Online > Jobs > Join Jobs. Here too you can choose to join a random job or a specific game type.
Another way to join missions is through the contact menu. You just need to call one of the mission givers - be it Lamar - to get to play a mission.
Starting a job via the world mapPress START, to open the GTA Online world map. There are icons which stand for particular jobs. There are two ways to get there. You can either set GPS route and drive there, or use "quick travel" option. If you choose the first option, point a job icon with the cursor and press A (X360) or X (PS3) to set the route to a given location. Remember to exit a vehicle before entering the job circle - you have to be on foot to start it.
Using "quick travel" is much easier. You just point a job icon with the cursor and press X (X360), SQUARE (PS3). You will be asked if you really want to start the job. Accept this and it is all set.
However, when joining a job via the map, there is a high probability that no one is currently playing this. In that case, you become the host, i.e. you create the job.
Job creatorJust like in case of joining current jobs, creating your own offers several options. The easiest way to create a job is through the game menu. Go to Menu > Online > Jobs > Create jobs. Click Created by Rockstar. This will roll out a list of all available game modes. Choose a mode and get to another list, which contains all the games of the type. Choose one of these to become its host. The creative freedom depends on the game type. Some jobs let you modify almost all their aspects (e.g. in races you can set cars, race type, number of laps, and so on), while in others you can only set the weather. However, as a host, you have the freedom to decide who joins the game. You may create private sessions only with these players who you personally invite.
The second way to create a job is pretty much the same as joining jobs via the world map. In this case, click on a job icon of your interest. When you get at the right location and stand inside the job circle, you will be given a choice. Click Create to become the game host.
Content creatorRockstar has made available a content creator (currently in beta version). To get the access to this application, you just need to download an automatic update to your console. The creator allows you to create custom games in several modes. You have, basically speaking, unrestrained freedom as to game location, available weapons (in Deathmatch), or setting whatever starting point for a race you can imagine.
Game modes available:
To start the creator, enter the game menu, go to Online tab and select Creator (BETA).
Deathmatch creatorYou have two modes to choose from: all for all or team fight. The first step is to select a place where you want to create your Deathmatch. Open the map and click on the location you want to move to. You will see the selected area from above. You can move the view with the left analogue stick and change camera position with the right one. The left and right triggers can be used to zoom in and out.
Deathmatch detailsSelect Deathmatch details. Here you have some basic options, such as:
PlacementAnother game creation option is Placement.
Radio - choose a radio station you want to listen to during the creation process
When the creation is ready you need to test it. Click on test option. A Deathmatch against AI-controlled characters will start.
After you have finished the test you can make some final changes. If everything is working as planned, you have now two options.
Save - you can invite other players to your game, but your creation will not be available in Rockstar Games Social Club.
Publish - your game goes to the website and others can check it out. The best creations get "Rockstar verified".
Race CreatorThe first step to create a race is to choose one of three variations

Choose the mode first.To start creating a "Capture" game you will have to pick one of the modes: Contend, GTA, Hold or Raid. No matter of your choice, the next steps will be similar.
Capture Details
You can also change the number of pedestrians and a vehicle traffic, police interventions etc. Now select the spawn points, capturing points, location of the guns and vehicles and the starting point for the both teams, to make your map ready to be played.
TLTS CreatorCreating the TLTS game is very similar to creating a Capture map. However, there are no capture points, as it is not the objective of these missions.

Just like in the real world, money is essential for survival in GTA Online. Cash can be earned in several ways.
Your primary source of money are jobs. For each finished game you get salary, whose height depends on your score. As far as Deathmatch is concerned, you can get extra cash by collecting the money dropped by killed enemies.
Bets can get you extra moneyYou can get extra money for jobs, if you win a bet placed on the player who you think may win the game. Of course, you can place the bet on yourself. Note that after you name the sum of money you still have to press A (X360) or X (PS3) to place the bet. When the number is green, it means that the bet is in play. This is shown on the previous picture.
Another way to earn money is to deliver cars to Simeon. Early in the game you get a text message from him with a list of cars he needs. When you find a car from the list, first you have to respray it, as he will not accept it otherwise.
From time to time a message like this will appear on the screen. This means that there is a specific vehicle marked on the map - one of those that Simeon needs. Get this vehicle, respray it in LSC, and deliver to Simon, to get extra money. Remember though - first-come, first-served.
In Los Santos Customs shops you can also sell common vehicles right from the street. However, one shop will not accept an infinite number of cars. To sell a common car, drive to LSC and select Sell option. Before that you may repair the car. This makes little sense though, because the selling price will only rise that much as much you spend on the repair.
To earn extra money, you can rob stores. These are marked on the map with the icon presented on the picture above.
You need to keep a bead on the shop assistant, so he gave you all the moneyWhen you enter a store, draw a bead on the shop assistance. An intimidation bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. When it is full, the shop assistance will give you all the money. Usually a robbery ends with a police pursuit.
If you are currently not doing any job, keep an eye on the information shown at the bottom of the screen. From time to time, there is an equipment supply dropped over Los Santos. This is marked on the map with a green square with a question mark. Remember the rule - first-come, first-served.
Robbing the shop may be made faster by using the headset. All that has to be done is to yell at the clerk. It is also possible to kill him and take the money by yourself. It is important not to take eyes from the clerk even after collecting the many, as he/she may attack you with a gun hidden under the counter (usually it is a sawed-off shotgun). It is best to shoot the shopkeeper in arm to prevent his retaliation. Killing the clerk may increase the number of the stars.
If you carry a lot of money on you, it would be a good idea to transfer them into a bank account. There are two ways to do this.
Interaction menu allows you to quickly get to a ATMYou can transfer money into your account using a network of ATMs located all around Los Santos and its surroundings. To do this, press and hold BACK (X360) or SELECT (PS3), to open interaction menu. In Quick GPS option search for ATM. The shortest route will appear on the map. When you get at the place, press right arrow, to use this. Select Deposit option and the money amount. Now you just need to confirm the operations and that is it. If you want to withdraw your money from the bank, follow the patterns as before, this time though select Withdraw option.
The website of the bank where you keep your moneyMoney can be deposited or withdrawn from the account anywhere and anytime you want, as long as you are in Sandbox Mode. Open your cell phone with a proper button. Then open the internet browser. Enter Money and Services and open Maze Bank website. Click on the Main Menu and, depending on what you want to do, select Deposit or Withdraw, and set the amount of money.
If you want to check the history of all transactions (both made through ATMs and on the bank website), select Transaction Log.
Basically, you earn money to spend them. The same is true for GTA Online. You can find many stores offering various goods in the game world. Businesses fall into four categories:
The following chapter describes places where you can do your virtual shopping and make use of various services offered in Los Santos and Blaine county.
A clothing storeThere is a wide selection of clothes, starting with jeans, through coveralls, ending with fancy suits. You can choose costume as you see fit. There are three clothing brands in the game.
All the stores differ only in name and dcor - they all have the same selection of wares. Low-priced clothing stores bear design of a typical second-hand store. Suburban looks like a store from a shopping mall, while Ponsonboys, with their smart suits and elegant shoes on display, look like stores for the rich. However, every store holds the same selection of wares. Overall, there are 12 clothing stores in the game.
Gun shop is a well-known place to all GTA fans. You will probably be visiting it more often than any other store. Only here you can buy freshly unlocked weapons and weapon attachments. In Ammu-nation stores you can get ammo as well as various sorts of bulletproof vests. You can also buy shoes and tops. There are 11 stores of the chain in the game.
A mask storeThere is only one mask store in the game. It is located close to Vespucci Beach. Masks can serve two purposes. First, they are there for the looks. Second, if you are being chased by the police, you may put on a mask in interaction menu, to remove one star from the current wanted level.
A tattoo parlorYou can decorate your body with tattoos in parlors. There is a wide selection of patterns for all parts of body. New tattoos are unlocked along with ranking-up or they are given as awards - this how to get a unique pattern. There are 6 tattoo parlors in the game.
A Los Santos Customs shopYou can customize your cars in Los Santos Customs, a custom car corporation. Almost everything is customizable. From respraying, through adding an improved armor, to implementing turbo, which improves the car's performance. You unlock car improvements through ranking-up and winning races limited to a particular car category. Moreover, in LSC you can mount a tracker and sell cars. There are 4 Los Santos Customs shops in the game.
Barber shopHere you can change your hairstyle as well as facial hair. New hairstyles are unlocked through ranking-up. There are 7 barber shops in the game.
You can buy a variety of vehicles through the Internet. To browse through offers, open your Internet browser on your cell phone and select Travel and Transport bar.
Car storeThere are two stores which specialize in automotive industry
The numbers next to the blue icon stand for how many people can move in a particular vehicle.
An aircraft storeElitas Ravel specializes in dealing in all sorts of aircrafts. Here you can buy sport planes, cargo planes, jets, and helicopters. You do not have to be very reach to buy one, since the prices start at 240,000$. However, if you want to get them all, be ready to spend 11,000,000$.
Armored vehiclesWarstock Cash & Carry has the monopoly for armored vehicles. If you want to spread terror in the streets or pack a group of friends to one vehicle, you must absolutely visit this website.
Boat storeDock Tease company deals in watercrafts. Here you can by a yacht, motor boat, or jet ski. If you are sick and tired of Los Santos traffic or you suffer from fear of heights, visit this store and buy yourself a boat, so you could admire views at calm sea.
Bicycle storeIf you fancy to work out a little bit and improve your stamina, make sure to visit Pedal and Metal website. This store specializes in selling both casual and sport bikes. You can buy a BMX starting from 800$ - merely an equivalent of a one store robbery.
There are two ways to buy your dream house: via a website or by traversing the city looking for Dynasty 8 signs.
Real estate agencyOpen Dynasty 8 website - look for it in Money and Services tab. Here you can buy both houses and garages. On the website there is a map with all properties that are currently for sale. If you find a particularly interesting offer, click on the marker on the map and select Click for details. The next page contains the estate's description. Now you have three options.
Dynasty 8 signIn your travels across Los Santos and Blaine county you may come across a Dynasty 8 sign. If you like the property that it is standing next to, and you happen to have enough money, do not hesitate and buy the place. You just need to approach the sign and press a button, to purchase the house.
While playing GTA Online you do not have to work alone. At any moment, you can join a crew created by other players. This gives you a spectrum of possibilities and lots of extra fun. Each crew member may choose unique emblems for their group. When being in a crew you can earn extra experience and reputation points. You may also rank-up in the crew hierarchy and, in time, even become its leader. If you cannot find a group that suits your needs, you may create your own and invite friends to fight by your side.
The first thing you need to do before joining an existing crew or creating a new one, is registering in Rockstar Games Social Club.
The main site of Rockstar Games Social ClubEnter www.socialclub.rockstargames.com website. In the right-top corner there is a yellow box with Join the Club sign. On the next site, you will have to type in some basic info like: nickname, e-mail address, password, date of birth, and your country. For the sake of security measures, your password has to contain at least one big letter and one digit. Once you type in all the data, click on Create an Account. This means that you accept the privacy policy.
You can also create an account using social networks. Click on the icon of a social network and you will be redirected to login site. Once you log into your account, proceed according to instructions on screen.
Click on Join to become the crew memberYou can join a crew via Rockstar Games Social Club website. Once you register there, you may log in. Then click on CREWS. On the following screen you will be given five options. Click on FIND A CREW. Then you can choose one of the randomly selected crews. You can also find a crew by typing in its name in the field marked with a magnifying glass icon. There are two types of crews - open and closed. You can join open crews freely - just click on JOIN to become a member the group. If you want to get inside a closed crew, you need to request an invitation, then it is up to the crew's leader whether to invite you or not.
You can also join a crew directly from your console. Open Online tab in game menu and choose Crews from the list. Another list will appear on the screen. In Suggested Crews tab you will find randomly selected crews that you may join. If you decide to join one of them, click action button on the group's name and select Join the crew. You can check out an adequate tab to see crews that your friends are in and join them by following the same steps as in joining a suggested group. In Invitations tab you will find invitations to crews sent by other players. You may accept or decline these.
NOTE: You can be a member of up to five groups at the same time, however, only one may be active.
Type in your crew's data on the websiteIf you could not found a crew that would suit your needs or simply want to have your own group, here you can learn how to do this. In Crew tab on Rockstar Games Social Club website, click on Create a crew. Type in the details on your soon-to-be crew, such as name displayed in the game and on the Social Club website, group's Tag and color. You may tick the Invited only box, if you do not want anyone to join without your permission. Leaving this box empty will allow anyone to join the group. You can also choose the type of the crew and type in its motto. Below, there are ranks admitted to players at certain level. You may type in your own names for the ranks or stick to the customary ones. If everything is ready, click on Save the crew. This option can be found at the bottom of the site. And this way you have just created your own crew in GTA Online.
To be able to use all of the tuning elements, you need to win races in the online mode. By winning a race, you unlock elements for a specific vehicle type (to unlock bike parts, you need to win bike races).
Los Santos Customs, the temple of tuningIn LSC (Los Santos Customs) garages, you can also sell cars for decent cash (ranging from several to a dozen-or-so thousands- depending on the car value). However, you cannot do this all the time and only occasionally (more or less, very hour)/ For this reason, try to deliver expensive cars only, but not above the super-cars threshold. To learn about this, see below...
Special vehicles (police cars, fire trucks) cannot be sold, nor modified. Also, cars of the other players count as special vehicles. You can often get into them, but you cannot keep them or sell them. However, the groups of special vehicles are super-cars, which you can see on the roads and on parking lots. You cannot sell them, keep them or modify them in the garage, either. What is even more, if you steal such a car, it is possible that you will be hunted by the owner and you get a bounty on your head. To have an easy access to all the cars, the easiest way to do this is buying them. You can buy them over the internet. After that, the car is delivered to your garage and it is supplied with tacking a chip.

GTA Online offers not only the path of a "professional career" of a big city gangster. There are several places where you can kick back and blow off some steam.
TennisBefore you start a tennis match, you can set its length. You may choose between 1, 3 or 5 sets. A set is won by the player who wins 6 games. The rules are the same as in real life tennis. To start a match, you need 2 players - you cannot play against AI. Although it is far from being an accurate simulator of tennis, you may spend some nice moments playing this. What is more, playing tennis improves stamina, so visiting a court now and then can be worthwhile.
A golf courseIf you still feel like doing some sport after playing tennis, you may visit a golf course. This game mode was developed with significantly more care and proves to be more fun. Generally speaking, the main objective in golf is to hit a ball into a hole at as few attempts as possible. You may choose your gear according to your likening or, perhaps, your technical knowledge and actual experience. There are several golf clubs to choose from. You may play solo or compete with other players.
Shooting rangeIf you want to try out how you can handle a gun, head to a shooting range. These are located at the back of some Ammu-nation stores. You may play solo or compete against other players in various game modes. Generally speaking, the player who gets the most points for hitting targets, wins.
Arm wrestlingIf you want to try out your strength, challenge a player to an arm wrestling duel. Not only physical condition of your character (though very important) determines the winner - it is also important how fast you can move your fingers. The faster you move the analogue stick, the more strength your character applies.
DartsYou can play darts in a bar located at Grand Senora desert. The rules are quite simple. To win a game, you need to reduce your score from 301 to exactly zero before your opponent does. Note that your last throw must hit a double band. A game can be won in two rounds minimum.
The inner bands score you triple points, while the outer score double.
If you feel like having some other thrills than golf or darts, you may visit a strip club. For 40 bucks a dancer will keep you amused with a private dance. While she is displaying her charms you can touch her with right trigger. This will gradually fill up a bar in the bottom right corner of the screen. When the bar is full, the dancer will offer you to spend the rest of the wild evening with her at home.

Grand Theft Auto Online: Heists is a New DLC for multiplayer, which enriches the gameplay by new missions for the crew to complete - heists. It is a very good income source and an interesting element of the gameplay. During heists with your own crew (4 players - 2 in the first heist) you complete a mission in which each of the crew members perform predetermined actions allotted to them. For this reason, an important element here is cooperation, because the mission may be failed, if one of the crewmembers fails to do their job. For this reason, it is difficult to join a crew you do not know, when you are a beginner at a low level. To start a heist, you need preparations - complete the gear, prepare the heist spot... such missions are much shorter, easier and much more common - but you receive less money for that. If the mission is failed, it can be replayed, without side effects, but often they take long and not all the players may agree to that, at which point the mission is interrupted. In the missions, not always you can die - in the bottom-right corner of the screen, you can view the numbers of "lives" the crew has - this figure goes down, if one of the crewmembers dies and the mission is interrupted if someone dies and you have no lives left; or if a premise of the mission is not reached, in any other way (if the gear is destroyed).
To be able to use all of the attractions in the game, you need cashIn the missions leading up to the heists, the pay is usually low - around 10-30 thousand dollars. You always receive more money, and slightly more experience and reputation, after you reach a higher rank - i.e. you make a name for yourself above the rest of the crew, in the number of the completed missions and killed opponents.
You can get quite decent money for heists. The amount received depends on how much is allotted to whom, by the leader of the crew - the amount usually ranges between $100000 and $1000000. The leader of the crew may take as much as the rest of the crewmembers, but he needs to make some investments, prior to that, which is spent on necessary arrangements. The standard amount each player receives is, around 15%, but this can be changed by the leader. Also, it is him that allots individual tasks to the crewmembers and this is what the division may depend on. An important element is escaping with the money and doing that again, in the case of a failure - you can then lose a considerable amount of cash, as a result. Therefore, make sure that the difficulty level is proportional to the crew's level.
The heist arrangement screen, where you assign tasks and each member's shareIf you want to join a heist, or the arrangement mission, you can do that at any moment. However, if you start the game with people you do not know, you can be excluded, if your experience and statistics are too low - everybody can view those in the game's lobby. This is why, if you want to start your own heist, you need to be at, at least, 12th experience level. At this point, Lester will contact you- talk to him to get more information. The other thing required for the heist is your own place - i.e. any building. The prices of those range between $25000 and $500000 so, it is a good idea to start with your own resources. You can buy the estate by approaching the bulletin board in the building that is marked for sale, on the world map, or via the www.dynasty8realstate.com website that you access with a laptop or with your smartphone.
As soon as you meet both of the conditions, go to your place and find the planning room. At the board, you can start planning on your heist. Invite your friends to the game, or determine conditions, on which new people can join you, by means of inviting and filtering players. After you gather the crew, access the planning screen again. Assign everyone with their role in the heist - the tasks that they need to complete. It is better to put weaker players into groups, the better ones can perform their tasks on their own (if there are ones). Then, determine shares that each player receives. Also, you can deal with smaller tasks, such as determining outfits for the crew. An important thing is that you can set the difficulty level of the mission - at the easy level, you receive more lives for the crew, but a half of the money and experience. At a high difficulty level, you receive 25% more money, but this is really hard - hard level is recommended against, in the case of new players, especially in missions where it may get really hot. The good news, for the new players, is that you receive a bonus of $100000 for each first bank heist.
The most important thing is good preparationsTo max out on your income, from each heist, you can increase the difficulty level, which gives you 25% more income. Additionally, you can complete each mission in the "elite" way - these are the special requirements that are displayed at the end of each heist (most commonly, it means making it within certain time, or the survival of all the crewmembers, as well as not restarting the mission). Meeting the elite requirements provides you with a high money bonus but, all of the requirements need to be met, then.
There also are additional rewards for the heists:
The first heist is a tutorial mission - Lester provides you with the information that you need. You only need one other player to get prepared. The missions are very fast and it is difficult to fail here, provided both of you have appropriate experience. This is why, it is a the source for very quick, but low income.
Stop in front of the Fleeca bank and waitAt the beginning of your preparations, you only need to get into a car and wait in front of the bank, in the Western part of the map, next to the highway. One of the player does the driving and the other waits. On your way back, however, the other player will have to complete a simple minigame to break security. This consists in making a line between points A and B, three times. After you return to your place, the first mission is completed.
Fight your way to the car by killing all of the gang membersThe second preparatory stage is getting a getaway car. Get to the top level of the multistory garage (both of you). Kill all of the opponents there - it is recommended that you strike both at the same time, by sneaking. Also, it is possible for one of the players to distract the opponents, whereas the other one sneaks to steal the car.
Park the stolen car next to Lester's factoryIt is a heavily armored car so, you do not need to worry. You find this out again, while you will be returning to Lester's factory, while being chased by a multitude of opponents.
Hint: you do not need to drive your car to the top level, you can just as well climb the stairs. This way, you get to the top, at the opposite side to the spot, where the car is parked. However, if you have a long-range weapon, you can eliminate many of the gangsters without taking damage yourself.
Default income: 115 000$
Special objectives:
After you hack into the vault, you need to open it with the phone, before you start the heist.For this heist, two people are required. First, go together to get the armored getaway car from Lester. One player is driving and the other one will have to make a breach in bank security (the minigame that you have already played in the preparatory mission). As soon as you get there, enter the bank.
Destroy cameras in the roomOne of the players deals with the four cameras and scares people (aim at them, shoot next to them and destroy objects). The other one goes to the back of the bank, where you need to drill a hole in the unlocked vault. The first player can see the scare-meter in the bottom-right corner of the screen - keep it filled for the whole time. As soon as you hear the other player open the vault, run to the car and prepare to escape.
Using the drill requires a feel to itThe task of the other player is not too easy for a new player - you need to feel the pressure and the number of the drill's revolutions, to complete this task quickly and not overheat the drill. After you drill though each piece of metal, take a moment's rest for the drill to cool down. Attach it o the piece of metal delicately and attach some pressure, at the steady revolution rate, initially. Increase the revolution rate only after you penetrate the metal layer.
Drive the car under the magnet directlyThen, have the driver wait in the car and escape along the highway. Along your path, you get to three road blocks. Several meters ahead, there is a chopper waiting, which lifts your car. If you do not manage to drive under the magnet, before the bridge ends, the mission ends.
You will have to invest some of your own money into the second heist, for which to buy gear and prepare yourself. This is 40000$. However, this is an one-time investment - if the mission is failed or it gets interrupted, you will not have to pay any more than that. Before you start the mission, you need to do some preparation.
Steal the plane from the hangarThe firs preparatory mission is to get to the McKenzie airport and deal with the gangsters. One of the players (the pilot) walks over to the hangar, in the meantime, and steals the plane. After you have eliminated the first wave of enemies, more will come on cars and they will be trying to block the runway. This is why, it would be good if the pilot is not a total newbie. After you start taxying, cover the plane with everything that you have.
Deliver Velum to the airport hangar
As soon as the plane is aloft, you need to get it safely to the airport in the Southern bay and land it in the marked spot. At the same time, the rest either fights back the gangsters or escape the site.
Steal the bus and do not batter it too muchThe other required vehicle is the prison bus. This task could take one player only. You play as a team, but each one needs to handle things on their own. Reach the prison bus driving along the boundary of the desert, in the Northern part of the map. It is being escorted by a helicopter so, deal with it in the first place. The rest of the team may get the road block ready, in the meantime, and steal the bus. It is important not to damage it too much, after you steal it, or you fail the mission. Take the bus to the destination.
The schedule is on the desk in the corner - you only need to pick it up and leave, without being seenIn the next mission, you are split into two teams - disguised as policemen and thieves. The policemen need to get a police car and lose the tail. Then, head to the police station. If you do not have any police pursuit on you, enter the building, enter the room on the right and take the schedule from the desk. Then, return to the car.
Blow up the police car and escape on the getaway carYou only need to drive the car to the destination, now. There are fuel tanks there - set the car on fire and take the document to your place, which ends this mission.
The first one to open the container will be driving an excellent car
There is more work to be done by the thieves. Reach the docks and go onboard the marked ship. There, fight your way to the bow of the ship, by dealing with enemies hiding behind the containers.
Do not worry about damage - the client accepts the car, as long as it is operationalAs soon as you reach the destination, climb onto a container, deal with the remnants and approach the container. During the cutscene, the car will be stolen. Then, get the car to the garage to complete the mission.
Hint: split the crew into 1 policeman and 3 thieves.
Kill everyone as soon as they get off the carThis mission becomes available only after you have made prior preparations. Two teams need to take out two important people. One of the teams goes to the city center. In the marked area, climb the ladder onto the building. Both of you pack sniper rifles. Wait for the car to arrive. Kill both of the people that get out of the car, simultaneously (and optionally the driver) and escape from the scene immediately. Lots of police will arrive and you still need to steal the documents that the target had on him. After you steal the papers, lose the pursuit and wait for the other team /return to the base.
The senator's estate - you kill many of the security guards using the sniper rifleThe other team needs to eliminate a lawyer, at his place. The estate is being guarded by security. The game recommends that you do things silently and eliminate the guards in the way that makes it impossible for the rest to find the bodies, nor hear the gunshots. However, if you make some noise, the target will start escaping on foot.
If you prefer to, kill him as he is escaping the estate
You can kill him at any moment, outside of his estate and not bother about the security guards. Lose possible pursuit and meet up with the first team.
Hints: split the team. 3 players go to the city center and 1 to the villa. The first team: have one player wait at the street level, so you can steal the files before police arrive. If this fails, take a fast, or a heavily armored car, drive up to the case and have the passenger grab it.
Default income: 400 000$
Special objectives:
You can follow the enemy planes to prevent being chased yourselfThe second part is not that easy. Use all of the preparation objects. The division of the crew is 1:1:2. The first player is the pilot. He first goes to the airport and takes the plane supplied during preparations. Do not drive into the airport, up until you receive the text message that you can, or the police will start chasing you. Fly up to the spot and wait for the prison team to recapture the prisoner. In the meantime, you will be attacked by fighter planes - avoid them and do not let yourself be shot down.
You can land on the airport or on the highway - simply, take the passengers onboard and do not crashThen, land and take the entire crew (apart from the sniper) and the prisoner (remember to open the side door in the plane), lose the chase and get to the destination.
Hints: before you leave the airport, wait for your time meter to reach 3:30, because the prison crew will not manage to do their job too quickly and, the earlier you reach the destination, the more fighter planes you will have to deal with. The other hint is that if you do not get under fire, take the initiative - get behind an enemy plane and follow it, while mirroring his maneuvers.
After the driver realizes what is going on, he starts escaping - kill himThe sapper - he needs to do several things: first of all, he steals the actual bus, drives it to the McKenzie airport, and blows it up. Then, he steals the fighter chopper - it is being guarded by a heavily armored Merryweather mercenary.
Buzzard has homing missilesThen, get up into the air and cover the pilot from the incoming planes - homing missiles work best here. The sapper gets to know that when the crew gets outside of the prison walls - get to them to cover them. After the pilot gets the prisoner and the crew onboard, escort them to the destination and then, collect them from the beach and go to the city.
Hints: do not try to help the prison team - you will be shot down over the prison; eliminate the chopper guard with a headshot- do not try to drive him over or he survives.
All of the gates swing open after you get into the busThe prison team, i.e. the players disguised as the guard and the prisoner. Take the bus and drive it to the prison. Stop at the gates for control and park the bus in the marked area. The guard is the only one to have a weapon - it is best to start the attack as soon as possible, sooner or later you will have to fight of the guards. The prisoner has no weapon so, he should take one from the nearest policemen. As soon as you find Rashkovsky fight your way to the gate, at which you find an armored car - use it to get to the airport, where you change to the plane.
Hint: it is best to select the strongest crew for this mission, both when it comes to the familiarity with the game and statistics. It is a good thing to complete this part quickly, so the pilot and the sapper do not wait too long.
This heist is a serious thing. It is recommended against joining any other crew, if you are a beginner with GTA Online: Heists. The problem here is not only lack of experience, synchronization and communication between players (or lack thereof), but also the familiarity with the goals of the mission - which is not always that clear.
Eliminate all of the FIB agentsThe first preparatory mission. Reach the marked spot (the garage) as the entire crew. It is a good idea to take a bigger car along (or even a van) and park it in the center of the area, because you cannot move cars that are already there. Two players remain on the ground level, one of them climbs the rooftop and another one goes onto the fire escape in the building - depending on the assigned roles. Hold your positions, for a moment, up until a black car arrives. After you receive the codes from the men, you will be surrounded by the FIB. Have one of the players on the ground, and from the balcony cover the backstreet, whereas the ones in the garage and on the rooftop attack the agents in the street. You should be able to deal with them quickly. Note the agents that arrive later in the backstreet. As soon as you eliminate all, reinforcements will arrive, but you are ready to escape, at that point. Escape to the getaway point, preferably by twos in each car, or all of you, so you can fight back the pursuit. After you get to the destination, the mission ends.
You will encounter insurgents many time, throughout the game - get to know themIn the second mission, divided into two teams, het to the quandary. Use sniper rifles to eliminate everyone in sight, deal with the rest at close quarters. Have two teams enter two insurgents, one of them is heavily armored. The player that mans the turret and rockets has the most important job to do, of covering all the crew from the choppers and then, from the armored cars. Drive to the destination. After you get there, eliminate the rest of the agents in the pursuit.
You can see the vessel from afarIn this mission, everyone should know how to handle planes. Often, the mission ends in a failure, when one of the players fails to do his job. First, get to the meeting point - there, you find a motorboat. Go aboard and get to the aircraft carrier out in the sea. Steer inside and get off the boat.
Use cover and, if you are short of health, blind-shootInside, deal with everything that moves and watch out for the guards on the stairs. Climb the stairs and get outside, through the "Exit" door. There, after you deal with the numerous armed forces, steal the planes. The one with the best piloting skills takes the Hydra.
If you do not do that well, as a pilot, have someone else fly the HydraYour next task is to cover the Hydra and protect it against the multitude of fighter planes. They do not attack the individual players and they only focus on the Hydra. Use homing missiles and eliminate the targets quickly. You now need to deliver the plane to the airport - in spite of the description in the escorting mission, you will not be bothered anymore.
Hint: the worst case scenario is when someone fails to do their job aboard the vessel. In corners, on stairs and in small rooms, you often find a first-aid kit and armor. It is a good thing to remember about that.
The next mission is to get the Valkyrie chopper. As one team, reach the Southern docks. It is a good idea to act systematically and at a long range - use sniper rifles and shotguns, and do not allow a situation, in which only one player keeps the things going. You will be attacked by a chopper - it is best to use a homing missile or, in an extreme situation, fire all at once, at the vehicle, and try to kill the pilot. Before you get to the helicopter, you still need to eliminate an enemy sniper. After you have taken the Valkyrie and gone up into the air, you do not avoid the pursuit. Fortunately, one of the players will be able to use the on-board weaponry. Finally, after you reach the destination, and landed, the mission ends.
Park the car in the marked area and get ready for some actionAgain, there are no clear-cut roles in this mission. Reach the Northern part of the lake in the desert, where you find the military SUV. Drive the entire crew to the lab. Here, the game save automatically and the real plight starts. You need to deal with all the guards but, make sure that nobody spots a corpse or hear gunshots. After the alarm starts, the mission ends.
Take down the first two with another playerStart by taking out the two guards with sniper rifles (each one receives a suppressed one) at the main gate and follow the path to the parking lot, where there are no guards. Have one of the players drive the SUV there.
Towards the end of the building, you find a spot where you can climb.Wait for the enemy vehicle to leave the base and climb up the stairs, to the rooftop. Also, you can climb onto the extension, past the yellow "8" painted onto the side. Many of the of the guards, and scientists wearing white garments, come in groups. The key to complete this mission properly is to eliminate the targets quickly and simultaneously.
Keep an eye on the people that may spot the corpses and deal, in the first place, with the one that will not be seen. Although you only have 10 minutes, you do not need to hurry with completing the mission. Where there are group of three opponents, it is best to position yourself at a n angle and take down two of them in a single shot - this is permissible. After you have eliminate all opponents, use the control panel to open the garage - this requires you to complete a simple minigame - and drive inside on the SUV. Leave the base on the Humane Labs vehicle, nobody will then pay attention to you, as long as you keep quiet. .
Hint: the mission is nearly impossible, if you do not harmonize with the rest of the crew, especially if you are playing with random people. In practice, the mission requires that you have headsets for voice communication and that you determine who does which part. Actually, it is enough that two players complete the part of the mission.
Default income: 540000$
Special objectives:
IN this heist, you operate in two groups: the pilot, the gunman on the chopper and a team of silent assassins inside the lab. First, get to the chopper in the Northern part of the lake to the North. After you all get onboard, fly to and hover over the lab - there, the EMP charge, which you have supplied earlier, goes off. It disables power supply, which makes the ground team use night vision. You do not need to keep quiet - walk inside, by blowing up the main door eliminate the opponents in the corridor and follow the marker. The best weapon here is the shotgun, due to the short distances. Once there, you get to another door - you cannot blow up this one. To open it, you need to press the button, on both sides, simultaneously - this is why voice communication is required, from one of the players, at least.
Exit the building and head towards the ocean. Put on the diving suits and swim down the tunnel, as quickly as possible, because you soon run out of air. Once there, you will be collected by a helicopter - you can use flares to help the pilot find the landing spot. As soon as the ground team is onboard, the assistant pilot will be able to do his job - he now needs to eliminate the incoming enemy Buzzards.
Hints: this mission is nearly impossible, if you cannot communicate verbally. In the ground team, there should be the most experienced crew members. Remember that you do not need to haste to complete this mission.
Landing the chopper on the yacht requires lots of precisionIn this mission, you need to steal coke from a yacht. You split into two teams - one of the teams takes the dinghy, whereas the other one takes the chopper. It would be good if the pilot could handle choppers well, because landing on the yacht requires lots of precision. The team from the pontoon should deal with the opponents on the lower deck, whereas the ones from the chopper deals with ones on the upper one.
Coke is next to the captain's seatCollect the package marked on the radar and escape. It would be best if everyone escaped on the chopper, because you need to lose the police pursuit and reach the delivery point - it is the fastest and the surest of solutions.
The trash truck is not too fast, use side alleys to lose the gangstersIt would be good if everyone had armors and could fire well, for this mission. Also, it would do good to have several grenades or, even better, a rocket launcher. First, get to the location, where there are garbage trucks and steal one, after you deal with several guards. Two players get on the truck and other two take their positions at the back of the truck - their task is to collect the stuff. You need to drive to four locations and collect the stuff hidden in trash bags. Only the players at the back of the truck can collect them.
Collect the black bags lying next to the containersIn the first pint, you attract nobody's attention, but in each following one, you will be surrounded by enemy gangsters. The players inside the truck should cover the ones that pick the bags, after which you get back inside, as quickly as possible, and move on. Many of the gangsters arrive on cars so, explosives will come in handy here. Also, you will get a tail on your way towards the delivery point - it is best to turn into narrow alleyways between buildings, to reduce the threat that the players at the back of the truck die under enemy fire.
Hint: each time, you need to stop the truck in the marked area. However, after that, it is better to drive up to the stuff to be collected to make things faster.
In the next mission, you need to remain completely silent and unspotted. First, collect the suppressed weapons from the container and get into the pontoon. After you get to the destination, enter the sneak mode - no one on the crew should be spotted, which would start the alarm. Eliminate each opponent that you meet with the suppressed weapons, or in melee - the bottom line is synchronization of actions and picking those of the targets that ensure remaining in hiding. You do not need to kill all of them - just enough to ensure that you get to the vans, at the back, safely. Of course, after you try to leave the location and go towards the destination, you will start being chased - simply, do not let the enemies destroy the vehicles and make sure nobody dies.
The next objective is similar to the previous one. You reach the spot - the sawmill - and steal two trucks loaded with the goods. The crew is divided into two teams now - the watchers and drivers. First of all, eliminate the opponents from afar, until it gets safe to steal the trucks. Get to the delivery point along the forest road, where there are several ambushes arranged. This is why you should watch out, especially that it is not easy to cross this area in these cars.
You can take out the majority of opponents at a long distanceThe last preparatory mission should not be difficult to complete. Get to the O'Neil brothers' farm. First, eliminate, at a long range, as many opponents as possible and then, clear the building interior. Do not roam about too much, because there are many opponents lurking in windows. Before you continue, make sure that the area is clear, because you need to steal the tanker, which is vulnerable to gunfire.
The orange tankerYou need to attach it to a truck and there are quite a few of them around. The ones that have been prepared especially for that, are In the Northern part of the farm. You have a limited amount of time to deliver the tanker. Along your path, the rest of the crew protect the cargo from the pursuers.

Special objectives:
This time, instead of a regular heist, you get a transport mission, which resembles the "Weed" mission, in its premise. Divided into two teams, get to the storage - the ground team (drivers) and watchers in side positions. First of all, fight back the heavy attack on your place. You do not need to hurry in this part, it is best to save up on your armor, as much as possible. As soon as it gets quiet, the rivers take the trucks (Bensons), the same ones as in the preparatory mission and the watchers enter the armored car with the turret. Now, take the trucks to the marked area. The key to success here is to eliminate targets in your path, quickly and efficiently, also the ones up in the air - have the gunman deal with the choppers. As soon as you reach the delivery point, the mission ends in a success.
One of the Post-OP vansThis is an exceptionally easy mission, which requires some cooperation, though. Two crewmembers become drivers and they get a navigator to help them. Drive outside of the city, where the navigator should start the Trackify app in his phone. Red dots display on the screen - use the D-pad to mark the way to the nearest destination, for the driver to follow.
Blue arrows navigate you along the wayThe driver will be navigated by means of the arrows displayed in a blue circle. As soon as you get there, you find the Post-OP van - have the navigator take a photo of the license plate, with the phone, and go to the next point.
After you have marked enough vehicles, you receive information on which one you need to steal and deliver to the storage. This is the easy part - the car will be displayed on the main radar and there will be no need for a chase.
This task requires you to split into two teams. As the entire crew, go to the quay, where there are motorboats awaiting. Steer them to the isles marked on the radar. At a distance, you will spot a patrolling police chopper - it is your primary target. The secondary ones are the policemen spread all around the small archipelago. As soon as you have dealt with all of them and reach the marker, you will be joined by the person you are looking for. Take him to the pontoon but, one of the players will have to stand (and may fall out, as a result). Also, the driver can drive him up to the motorboats. Then, steer up the river, until you reach the lake, where you lose the police pursuit. Then, take the man to the destination.
This one is an interesting mission. Three players in one team and a driver. On the van, get to the marked area and attack the men (also snipers) in the alleyway between the buildings. In the meantime, the driver needs to be prepared to get to the black van and steal the gear, after which he returns to the car. The rest of the crew needs to go to the black van and stat escaping. The driver simply needs to deliver the white van and the ones in the black one, lose the pursuit. Then, they reach their marker on the radar to complete the mission.
In spite of simple assumptions, may prove problematic. You need to abduct a truck - to do this, take each your own car (it is even better if these are quire big cars) and form a blockade on the bridge. Then, hide behind the cars and wait for the Merryweather soldiers. In the first place, deal with the chopper, then with all the ground units. No one should try to get the truck before the soldiers are all dead, to prevent the destruction of the car. Finally, on the Insurgent, escort your own truck to the marked area.
The last preparatory mission, before the heist itself. Get getaway vehicles - the bikes. Go to the place of the Lost gang and deal with the members. At the back, there are the bikes. You simply need to get on them and return to the destination. What may be the problem is the numerous blockades, along the way, formed by the gang members, because it is easy to fall off the bikes and die under enemy fire. This is why, while leaving the backstreet behind the club, ride straight ahead, in spite of what the GPS suggests - the majority of the blockades have been formed at the club's exit. This way, you will avoid the greatest threat.

Special objectives:
In the last heist, each crewmember with a separate role: crowd control, sapper and hacker, need to know their objectives well. First of all, drive up to the bank and get inside.
Watch the civilians, if they get too brave, they start the alarmTwo members of the crowd control team deal with the guards. Then, they occupy themselves with intimidating the people, by aiming at them, shooting near them, but without killing anyone, and wrecking the stuff around. The sapper and the hacker go to the back of the bank and deal with the gate, and into the vault. With the first door forced down, one of the crowd control team goes to the cashier deck to keep an eye on them and deal with the guards coming down the stairs.
At the same time, the hacker opens the vault, using the terminal, and the sapper waits to blow up one more security system. Then, they come in, one after another, take the cash and the whole crew heads back to the exit.
Escape along side alleys and take the motorcyclesYou exit all at the same time and shoot at everything that moves. It is best if one of you has a rocket launcher and a minigun. Also, an HMG does the job. As soon as you clear the streets, escape along the side alley opposite. New small police units will keep arriving - now you only require a good machine gun to eliminate the incoming opponents. Also a chopper arrives, which you need to deal with, as quickly as possible. At the first intersection, run right and reach the end, where there are the bikes waiting, as well as boxes with armor.
The second-last fragment of the road runs along the canyon - only here are you safeGet on the bikes and head towards the destination, you only have 10 minutes. You can reach the destination separately or in pairs. In such a situation, the passenger will conduct fire. As soon as you leave the city, around the lake, on the bridge, there is a road block, and another one near the destination marker, where you need to ride into the canyon. Then, cross the forest towards the next marker - here, the pursuit is negligible. First of all, make sure that nobody gets off the road, or fall off the bike.
Release the parachute immediately - otherwise, you land too early and you will have to run towards the pontoonAfter you reach the last marker, after you jump off the cliff, get off the bikes and release the parachutes, which need to take you to the pontoon, quite far away. As soon as the entire crew gathers, you only need to steer the pontoon out into the sea and reach the last marker, where the mission ends.
Hint: instead of the bikes, you can take a car - it would be best if you all got into a SUV or an off-road car - it is no good in the city, but outside of it, it gets much better - you can head Northwards, straight away, and take a shortcut up. The pursuit does not reach you there, unless choppers are used.
Flight School entrance.The Flight School is an addition available after downloading free DLC. This activity is very similar to the one that can be played in single player mode. However, here you will be faced with the 'military' challenges which are the hardest challenges. It is a great possibility to earn money and experience. It also enhances your flying skills.
The tasks can be repeated, but then you will get only about 10% of the former reward. Acquiring gold medals equals the payment of 10-30 thousand dollars as well as 1-2 thousands of experience.
Don't finish your loop until the bar is full.Outside loop. Start performing the loop right after reaching the first marker. The latter should be performed partially under the bridge, immediately after reaching the last marker from the next three. It can be seen in the clip before the mission. Medals are given dependently on the amount of time.
Right after beginning this lesson, plane's engines will be turned off. You will have to land in a particular spot, the closer the better. It all comes down to the right timing. Use the plane's nose to direct yourself in the beginning of the landing-stripe. When you are about 1000-1500 meters from the spot, pick yourself up to land in the middle of the lane. Don't forget about sliding out the undercarriage. Start braking immediately. The medal is dependable on the distance from the spot.
Jump out of the plane immediately as the backpack won't wait for you.You are jumping out of the plane and free-falling for as long as you catch the parachute. After grabbing it, you will have to dive for as long as you find it necessary. Your object is to land in one of the circles in the stadium. Your medal will be dependable of the circle in which you have landed.
Try slowing down before landing.If you are descending too fast, your avatar may move a bit after landing. Thus, it is good to land in front of the circles if your speed is high. Remember about the precise landing feature.
You can see the landing place from a distance. Aim for it.Flying the plane in the rain between the buildings, what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything. To make things even harder, the landing spot is placed on the beach and in the middle of the landing process, one of your engines will blow off. Your medal will be dependable of the distance from the spot on which you are supposed to place your plane Try to land as close as possible as the plane will stop almost immediately after touching the sand. You can pull the plane's nose down, but do not accelerate at any time.
Land wherever on the semitrailer.In this lesson you will be rewarded dependable on the amount of time of completion. Start descending right after starting the lesson. It is vital to brake before the truck comes. Don't forget that this helicopter is equipped with a slide out undercarriage. Keep the descending button pressed after you touch the semitrailer to assure that the helicopter is intact. To receive the gold medal you will have to complete this lesson within 19 seconds. It is easier to do it by flying into the semitrailer without much of a breaking. You should manage to connect your helicopter with the truck without failing. In order to complete this lesson you do not have to be in the center of the marker either.
Keep yourself in the green marker for as long as you can.Probably the hardest lesson. It requires couple of retakes in order to get the gold medal. Fly at the full speed and don't slow down even when you are performing a loop. Using the camera which is placed in its maximum distance from the plane may be of some help.
Try to use the camera from inside the vehicle camera.Use the Buzzard helicopter, to shoot the targets. Only in the first attempt the mission is preluded with a training lesson. Shoot 25 targets with your helicopter's machine gun to get the gold.
Tips: Don't change you helicopter's angle. Just move up and down turning from left to right. Skip the target by the crane. You can also change the camera to one from the inside of the machine.
The ending with the windmills is the most deadly part. Be careful.Keep as close to the ground as possible. It is one of the hardest task. Here are the tips which should make it easier for you to acquire gold medal or to help you finish the lesson at all if you are not the top notch pilot.
Tips:
Don't worry about time if you are aiming for bronze.Yet another hard lesson. It requires good strategy as well as the skills. You will need to collect 30 points by flying through targets in a particular order. The tip here would be to fly in big circles in the beginning and slowly narrowing them. Avoid sharp turns and maneuvers as your speed will be heavily decreased and you may crash.
Map with the targets.The targets are marked on the map. After some training you may try to draw the line of your flight, which may be of some help for you later on.
Perform the maneuvers in the marked spots.The very last lesson. Follow the leader. It is not that much of a problem. In order to acquire gold medal you will be restricted to making 2-3 mistakes. Just follow the leader through the markers and perform the particular maneuvers dependable on the color of the marker (inversion/flying sideways - blue and green). Performing the tricks will take 2 seconds from your time. The penalty for not performing the tricks are additional 5 seconds added to your time.
Along with the new DLC you will acquire an access to the bounties planted on you and on others. The way it works is simple: Every player can place a bounty over on other player. It can be done for the sakes of retaliation or simply for fun. A player who kills a person marked by you, will get the reward which will be transferred from your personal in-game account. When it is someone else who places the bounty, you will be notified over the radar with the nickname of the marked player. The way of killing him is up to you. If it is your head which has been marked, the notification will be placed in the middle of the screen written in a big white font.
The bounty notification can be seen on top of the radar.If the marked player gets killed, or the player manages to survive for about an hour, the bounty disappears. Doing a mission may be a way of avoiding getting killed. One can also take his way to the wilderness. If you will survive, whilst on a run - the reward will be yours.
The bounties do not disappear even when you turn off the game. You will still be marked when the game is turned back on. Time does not pass when the game is off. There are also the bounties that are inflicted by the game system itself. For example, if you still one of the super-cars, you may receive a SMS with a threat which later on may cause the bounty to appear. Its figure may differ dependable on the car. Other rules are the same as the rules of the normal bounty.
You have to have got at least Rank 10. If you do, you can call Lester and choose the option of inflicting the bounty. You also need to have some money on yourself.
Along with the Heists DLC, a new kind of tasks comes to play. The Daily Objectives are three random objectives which change each real-life day. They are paid with money and reputation points. All of the objectives have to be done in the same day they were given. Types of the tasks differ. They may require from you to participate in the race, to jump with a parachute or to modify a car. The list obviously goes on. You have to have got at least Rank 15 to participate in the DO. All of the objectives can be checked in the interaction menu. You will be notified when the Dos will be unlocked.
Collecting cars may also be a Daily Objective.The Daily Objectives can accumulate in the weekly or monthly objectives. The latter cover the period of 28 days. If you will do all of the Dos within the week, or four of the weeks within the month, you will be granted with a big bonus. In this case, you can't skip a day within this period.
Rewards:
The list of wanted cars can be checked in the SMS.After reaching rank 10 you will get an access to the missions from Simeon. In these missions you will have to collect cars for him. The list of the vehicles you will have to bring to him will be given to you via a SMS. On a day you can collect only one car. Getting into a wanted car will come with a notification. Now all you need to do is to get the car to the garage in the Los Santos Customs and change its paintwork (choose the cheapest option for about 780$). From there, go to the garage in the docks to finish the mission. You cannot be pursued by the police and if the vehicle is damaged you will have to pay for it, so be careful.
Getting into a wanted car comes with a notification.In opposite to the cars you are bringing for sale to the Los Santos Customs, the prices about 1,5x higher, but to the LCS you can bring as many cars more often than once a day. Then again, the cars from the SMS list are the part of the Daily Objectives. The payment oscillates within the range of 2 000 - 12000$ (excluding the costs of the paintwork)
Sometimes the special tasks of delivering a car will be given to all of the players. There will only be one car to get, so the fastest wins. Get to the car marked with a green icon on the radar and change its paintwork before getting it to the Simeon. You will be paid twice as much as you would be in the LCS.
