GTA V Online Heists: 9 Essential Tips You Need To Know

4. Stick To The Plan

As mentioned earlier, the way the missions are structured caters to them all being played a certain way, with cutscenes to boot breaking up the main checkpoints throughout. This might end up being the thing that puts plenty people off, as there's way less opportunity for experimentation when you're stuck driving from A to B, before destroying C and escaping down route D. The first heist is actually a pretty naff mission overall, with the only cool thing to take away being the dual-roles of you and your partner driving and hacking simultaneously. Luckily, things heat up from there and the structures do get a bit more elastic - freeing up your options for completion about as much as the main campaign does - but it goes without saying that regardless of the scope of the mission, stick to the plan you're being told to execute rather than going renegade and costing everyone both time and money in the process.
