GTA V Online Heists: 9 Essential Tips You Need To Know
Without these you'll not even get far enough to unlock the Hydra.
It's the mode everyone's talking about - and no, not just because (as of time of writing) Rockstar's servers are taking one hell of a pounding, meaning only one in about 50-odd games actually connect. No, the two-year wait for heists to finally be implemented into GTA Online is for the most part intact (these issues will iron themselves out soon enough, having the entire world play your game is just something servers can't handle), and in typical GTA fashion they're spectacularly enjoyable by way of a glorious organised chaos. From corralling a bunch of friends together and kicking off your career in the criminal underworld with the help of story-centric characters like Lester to hashing out your plans executing on them with military precision, it feels like these new implementations are the thing GTA Online was really built for from day one. However, as GTA has slowly - and quite subtly - essentially turned into an RPG over the years, Rockstar haven't just added heists as a face-value explosion-fest designed to be played and forgotten. Instead, rather like the story missions, if you want to get the most out of what's on offer there's a ton of essential tips that both newcomers and seasoned GTA Online vets need to take into account.
