These extraordinary robberies require extensive preparation and ultra-precise execution to avoid&nbsp;failing dismally. By following these <strong>10 tips<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll increase you chances of surviving&nbsp;GTA V heists!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Use the approach that suits your style of play<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"GTA V mission\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/09\/grand-theft-auto-v-ps3-gta-5-entrega-inmediata-nuevo-6590-MCO5071122699_092013-F-568x319.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"319\"><em>You can choose between attacking with force, or using finesse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GTA V lets you choose your team&#8217;s approach for&nbsp;various heists, either attacking with&nbsp;<strong>force<\/strong> or using <strong>finesse<\/strong>. Choose the approach that best suits your style of play in order to minimize surprises. If you&#8217;re heavy on the trigger, for example, go for frontal attacks; otherwise, choose a stealth approach.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be careful who you hang out with<\/h3>\n<p>GTA V lets you choose which&nbsp;teammates will&nbsp;accompany the heroes&nbsp;on each heist. Note that the more experienced teammates will expect you to pay them a larger share&nbsp;of the spoils. Whatever you do, give yourself a fighting chance and don&#8217;t skimp on good teammates.&nbsp;A novice can derail a prefectly planned heist, so make sure to&nbsp;replace your less experienced accomplices with <strong>professionals<\/strong> to put the odds on your side.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Train yourself!<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to increase&nbsp;Franklyn, Trevor, and Michael&#8217;s statistics by having them perform <strong>auxiliary tasks<\/strong>. Driving through the streets of Los Santos will increase your driving, running, and cycling skills and improve your endurance, while&nbsp;flying lessons will turn your heros into flying aces. Sessions at the shooting gallery will improve each character&#8217;s&nbsp;handling of different&nbsp;weapons. As&nbsp;icing on the cake, you can increase your level of discretion by walking regularly in stealth mode and surprising passersby.&nbsp;All these skills&nbsp;will prove <strong>crucial<\/strong> in the most complex game missions!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Arm yourself!<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"GTA V weapons\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/09\/NhRCGbC-568x319.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"319\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Make sure your characters are properly equipped&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t say&nbsp;enough about&nbsp;the importance of <strong>preparation<\/strong> for the success of heists!&nbsp;Before starting the main missions of the game, make sure that your characters are properly equipped by visiting one of the numerous Ammunation shops. Among the essentials are&nbsp;the <strong>bullet-proof<\/strong> <strong>vest<\/strong>, the <strong>shotgun<\/strong> for close combat, the <strong>sniper rifle<\/strong>, and the <strong>sub-machine gun, <\/strong>which your characters can use while driving.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Learn to fight<\/h3>\n<p>The gameplay of GTA shootouts is unique, and you&#8217;ll have to master the subtleties to overcome the toughest missions. <strong>Assisted power mode,<\/strong> for example, lets you move from one target to another in the middle of a shootout with the flick of the right stick. GTA V fights are among the most demanding of their kind, and this additional assistance could make all the difference in desperate situations.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Never lose concentration<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t count your chickens before they&#8217;ve&nbsp;hatched! GTA V missions are full of <strong>twists and turns<\/strong>. In other words, even if your plan seems to be going smoothly, you&#8217;ll never be safe from the unexpected, such as an accomplice with all the loot getting&nbsp;caught by the police! Stay alert and keep your cool until the end of the mission.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Don&#8217;t play the hero<\/h3>\n<p>In GTA V heists, your main goal is to come away with the loot, not to grandstand. Use the most effective solutions when things go sour, like&nbsp;headshots or heavy weapons. Better yet, <strong>avoid systematically fighting<\/strong> the police and hide when possible. Simply stay out of sight of your pursuers or hide if you nee d to!<\/p>\n<h3>8. Master character changes<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"GTA V characters\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/09\/grand-theft-auto-v-masks-1280x720-568x319.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"319\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Alternating between the three main characters in GTA V is the key to success.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/gta-v-how-to-change-character\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alternating between the three main characters<\/a> in GTA V is the key to success for most heists. Franklyn, Trevor and Michael each have special abilities, and you&#8217;ll have to switch from one to another very regularly to carry out&nbsp;<strong>special tasks<\/strong>. Fortunately, a system of <strong>flashes of color<\/strong> will give you critical information about the status of each character. When a character has to be selected, the picture flashes white. A red flashing light indicates that the character is damaged and needs you to help him. Finally, a translucent portrait indicates that the character is not available.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Remember each character&#8217;s special skills<\/h3>\n<p>In the heat of battle, it&#8217;s easy to forget the special skills&nbsp;of each character. These benefits, however, can often make the difference between a mission accomplished with finesse&nbsp;and a dismal failure. For the record, Franklyn will <strong>slow down<\/strong> when he&#8217;s weaving a car through&nbsp;traffic to evade the police. Trevor becomes <strong>almost invincible<\/strong> for a short period of time and can do some pretty serious damage, very useful when you find yourself surrounded. Finally, Michael will slow down time during shootouts to <strong>aim better and carefully align his targets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>10. And if that doesn&#8217;t work, cheat!<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a true gangster and would rather die than follow&nbsp;the rules,&nbsp;GTA V understands you! In it&#8217;s infinite kindness, the game gives you the ability to <a title=\"Grand Theft Auto V: Cheat Codes for PS3 and xBox 360\" href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/grand-theft-auto-v-cheat-codes-for-ps3-and-xbox-360\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use cheat codes<\/a> to unlock weapons, vehicles and other bonuses!
