[@Le_Floffy_A92]

few tips from a driver that's being racing in public lobbies with traffic on for 10 years: -traffic usually go in pairs, one car in your direction, the other one in oncoming lane, on wide roads traffic either make barricades or trains, when they're not trying to crash into you they're panicking and driving very unpredictably (especially when they get laggy) -for cops, when they try to intercept you, zigzagging and opposing their moves works, when they ram you from behind let go of the throttle and wrestle the steering to stabilize the car, the key to countering the cop's manouvers is timing

[@garchompy_1561]

oh, me and some friends just attempted this challenge the other day. the new patch made us fall through the map and instantly die during a prison break setup and we decided "maybe not"

[@Gamrison]

Even if I don't go for the Elite Challenge, some of the tips in this video are really good to know just in general, thanks! I think the only one I knew prior was using the Buzzard to help in the Prison, and even then I did not know the road was the cut off point so, I appreciate the video fam! Very helpful stuff.

[@XVXC-M8]

I don't recommend using the Bati 801 for the prison break, use the Manchez Scout, It's really easy to wheelie and when you do its mostly easy to control and has an incredibly high top speed (if you don't have HSW use it, if you do, use HSW lol).

[@Wrtlbrmft1]

The Machez Scout only has 1 seat, defeating the whole purpose of bringing a bike in the first place (to get Rashkovsky out more quickly).

[@XVXC-M8]

The hardest part of this is finding 3 other players

Hahah yes

[@Totorowhole]

absolutely

[@lphajean]

That what I had been doing for months.

[@eric2690]

There is a reason why everyone does the Cayo Perico. The reason is it's Solo Friendly !!

[@tomaprd]

Lol not me,Dr.Dre VIP Contract for me…

[@minthouse6338]

Nope that ain't it - it's the big pay out is what makes Cayo a popular heist. If it only paid $100,000 - I doubt most players will be wasting their time doing the heist solo friendly or not.

[@eric2690]

@@minthouse6338 Your missing the point. We only have 2 Big Heist Heist in GTA 5 Online that can be done SOLO which is Dr Dre Heist Agency and Cayo Perico !!! Sure you could do a 2 person Diamond Casino Heist but the Payout will never be as good as a 1 person Dr Dre or Cayo Perico Heist. Also who has the time to find 3 other players who can help you with the original heist. We really need a new Heist. Hopefully Michael will come back in a new Heist !!

[@eric2690]

@@minthouse6338 Also If it only paid $100,000 it would not be a Heist. That would be a laughable payout.

[@domo9257]

I've been sitting on this heist (prison break) for 3 months now. Everything is else is done perfectly, with randoms. It's just the final bit in the velum that I can't seem to lose the cops😭😭😭

How I wish to find people to do this old heists!!! But unfortunately is very hard to play with random people!!!

[@angustdutoit4293]

The problem is finding at least 3 other players. If it was only finding one or more - that wouldn't be as bad.

[@RedDeadRoss]

Great guide Gtamen!

[@Bernard1127]

With ramdoms!? Easier to make ice cream on the surface of the sun...

[@Jonics18]

Tier 4 shouldve been $10mil instead of $50mil. Coz you still earn shit compared to casino and cayo heists.

[@marius2361]

For Fleeca finale: at 0:39 even on old gen and PC, I still think Hakuchou Drag or a Bati 801 are a better alternative here and basically do wheelies with them for additional speed. at 0:56, like Gtamen did on the video, use curb boosting by driving on the sidewalk, whenever your road in front of you is less populated by vehicles. Now this is a bit cheating in comparison with other platforms, but if you are on PC, before you start the finale, you can also go to the Pause Menu - Settings - Graphics and turn to the lowest value, Population Density and Distance Scaling. This will allow you to have less traffic and less props and items on the sidewalk. Now it should be mentioned that both host and the teammate have to do this before starting the finale. What it should also be important to mention is that as soon as the hacker opens the vault doors from his phone, the Driver should drive backwards with his Kuruma and park it into the bank and keep the doors open. Then get out of the vehicle. Wait for the Driller to do his part. As soon as he collected the loot, do not enter the car first. Let the driller get inside by pressing F or whatever button is for consoles and only then the driver enter the car. It is important because if the Driver gets in first and then the Driller, the Driver will warp inside the car while the Driller will have to enter the car normally. If the Driller gets in first and then the Driver, both will warp inside the Kuruma saving some seconds. at 3:15, it is also possible to destroy one police vehicle to make room instead of ramming through, if both players use a Heavy Revolver MK II with FMJ rounds or Armor Piercing rounds and shoot at one of the police vehicles on the way to the roadblock. For Prison Break finale: at 7:16, not only that, it is also important that between the players, it is very little ping because this part is known to be a bit buggy at times. If either the host or one of the clients have a slower internet connection, police choppers can appear out of nowhere, right in front of you and re-apply the wanted lvl. It is also possible that at this part, you would still get wanted lvl reapplied. But as I said, good internet connection between 4 players always brings better results. For Humane Labs finale: it should also be mentioned that the Gunner can help by placing proximity mines at the helicopters spawn points. This requires checking some elite tutorials from speedrunners though. In any case, after putting promixity mines, on the way to the mountain, Gunner can help with an explosive sniper to take out the incoming Buzzards. The other three team mates should only focus on arriving to the mountain where the Gunner is shooting the Buzzards from. For Series A finale: Vigilante is usually the better one to use as you can push the vans so they can get a few vehicles. 11:37 perhaps a minigun would be better as you can quickly kill any enemy on your way. The one sitting on top of the Mule truck, can also use an Explosive sniper or Railgun instead of the minigun. This will allow you to take out enemies ahead of you and make room for the truck drivers. For Pacific Standard Heist: 14:09 personally, Akuma bikes work better here, but any other fast bike is welcomed. 15:29 two players per bike is way slower, imo and cops can catch up to you easily and ram into you.

This is very good advice. I am late to reply but thx

[@marius2361]

[@Chrisjenl]

Really great instructions. Really love it.

[@Cody-Bear]

I would try this again, but 3 things; 1) I'd probably be the one to screw the entire run and it'll be dead 2) I'm still currently worried about the vehicle delete bug 3) I already did it once with randoms for the most part, and a few preps or finales here and there if I was bored and got invited.

[@RDUFFAL]

In case you haven't seen any of Ghillie's videos or anyone else's, both the vehicle deletion and insurance bug have been fixed as of 2 days ago.

[@michaelthedriver242]

Elite challenge gives you $100k at most. In today's GTA Online, it's basically a FREE T-SHIRT😂😒

[@freddy44281]

fleeca 50k

[@peronister1321]

You get a free flex t shirt by doing all 5 elites tho

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Did they fix that Rashkovsky glitch where he's stuck without moving? Last time i tried was when DW was released and still wasn't working properly.

[@Gtamen]

happened to me still. It's why I'm advising to stick with him.

[@PA-NI-NI]

itll always get me how much the old heists arent designed for current vehicles, like using the insurgent custom to defend and steal stock insurgents

[@ethanbradshaw2858]

Real OG's completed the criminal mastermind challenge before the career update.

[@Oscarilainen]

I have recently played through the original heist after finally finding someone to do them with and I didn't see a single setup that needs 4 players. Only the heist since that has 4 roles and it would be so nice to only need 2 players for this and maybe then I could actually get elite challenge.

Same, I don’t wanna have to buy specific apartments again and then for doomsday move my facility THREE TIMES costing millions just to do those elites as well

[@OcherGoose]

​@@BecuaseTheInternet1080you can do every single elite challenge with the grand senora desert facility or the sandy shores one. The first act is literally next to it, Bogdan you have enough time even if you drive a normal car, and you're close enough for the last one

@@SharinganRebirth Now tell me why we should have to do them again "with a clean slate" if we've done them already.

[@minthouse6338]

You missed one important point about Pac Standard finale. When y'all on the bikes heading for the dinghy - DO NOT SHOOT AT COPS. You only make them mad and they become more aggressive with more helicopters spawning. Speaking of helicopter - I'm guessing using the chopper to get all players to the dinghy will not qualify for the elite challenge.

[@n0idone689]

Fun challenge that.. With the right people!.

[@edwardadrian5173]

I did those heist just for the trophies. Man those heist are bad real bad. Trying with randoms is a recipe for disaster.

[@fnffreak]

are you doing that with doomsday too? still need 2 achievements..... elite and without dying in one order

[@Rank5.87]

Do you have to do the elite challagne on every heist to get the criminal mastermind award

[@mickwilson2804]

I remember back years ago maybe 6ish years ago the bank heist one everyone wud go to the 4 bikes, someone would go to there apartment get the armored kuruma out an all jump in that instead of using the bikes! we just kept doin it over n over again 😅 the good old days lol until R* patched it

[@Mr_Skarr]

Great video but the cuts are really obvious How is series-a a heist It looks like a sh*tty contact mission you would do for ron

[@kevinahm3773]

I every time blow the bikes up in pacific standard heist and take a car

[@AL3X1KUS]

Hey! New Tier 3 member here!

[@minthouse6338]

There is no way you can do all of that in the video with randoms. I can make Casino heist work with randoms - the stuff in the video, that be impossible. Take Prison Break finale for example, guarantee most randoms will not know or understand how to use the Buzzard to fire rockets into the prison. Not to mention the other random in the Velum will be screaming where is the Buzzard that's suppose to be protecting him. Only real way to make Gtamen's video guide work is - to do the heists with friends.

[@anthonyfaccaro7118]

Rockstar will never fix anything if you keep promoting the game. Everyones mad about the update, but no one stops promoting them.

[@minthouse6338]

You did know some KZbinrs get paid for uploading videos. If they stop uploading, they don't get paid.
