[@TGGNetwork]

Completed few min ago this challenge and this video was really helpful. If your loyalty got bugged (happened to me) you need to re-do after the challenge the Fleeca heist with the same person you did it the first time and you will get the achievement and the loyalty bonus (money). This happen when you change one member for the cmm for example and you are re-doing everything from the start

[@Master-hunter2000]

That was kinda funny when Paige got pushed over in the fleece heist

[@FreSch_Dude]

Good tutorial, i rmemeber the pain of doing the cmm few years ago. My team relied on the kuruma, we used vigilate a whole lot less, and my dumbass relied on the tampa and its guns. For the pacific finale we used a glitched heli spawn to get outta there lol

[@fillipe4700]

I'll never complete it, but I really like your content lol

[@heyyitsrezzy]

This will help. Currently talking to 2 of my real life friends to see if we can attempt this and get a fourth friend

[@skywalkerog3886]

When doing the prison break, go inside using the armored kuruma instead of the vigilante, AVAOID EXPLOSIVES AT ALL COST , this should save you a lot of troubles

[@blackburner97PY]

You used a Kuruma to steal another Kuruma XD

[@ivanl4380]

When you play prison break assassination prep with ransoms, the city hall team usually end up so badly that they need mansion team's assistance. They are smart enough to use the Kuruma in other preps, but dumb enough not to use it in this case...

[@rendoirs]

Things not to follow from this video: 1. Don't ever take motorcycles for any setup or finale (5:33, 31:33, 51:50, ...) 2. No missiles, period. (8:58, 59:27 -- you were so lucky here) 3. Take your time to kill NPCs, don't rush (8:35 and 10:09 -- also dunno how you got these many cops) 4. Parachuting into the ship is actually the safest approach, assuming your teammate kills the enemies before you land (13:10) 5. Always aim down sights or use first person in tall ladders (14:47) 6. It's safer for the helicopter team to go first and shoot everyone possible from a distance with the explosive sniper rounds (36:10) 7. There's a safer strategy where one person goes out to trigger the enemy spawn and comes back to the compound where everyone kills all the enemy waves before finally going to the destination. You should all drive together so that if someone falls off the bikes the others can help. (1:02:06)

Hey, thank you for the guide but I have a question. Does skipping the drive to the missions cause the cmc to fail? I think I remember reading that you can’t do that for the doomsday heist prep missions but I hope I’m wrong

[@BeatsDownGaming]

Skipping doesn't fail CMM but it will fail the elite in the finales.

[@bobert7257]

[@themightyliam_4_20]

Does the reinforced armor that came out in the Casino heist also give you protection during the 2015 heists or do you have to use the heavy utility vests from this update

[@BeatsDownGaming]

Only Heavy Utility Vests, as it states in the video.

[@y0rrzu971]

so if you fail somehow like crash a car or run out of time does it affect the challenge or is it only when someone dies

[@musical_bruh]

Only when someone dies

[@Drivewme17]

Important question! As host of the heists, can you own several and choose which apartment you can do the heists in? I ask because the heist will only show up in one and I’m not sure if you can pick and choose, some locations are better than others too!

[@Xxtaked44]

Sorry for the late answer. You can host in any high end luxus Appartement (over 225000) and at the beginning of the mission you will always spawn at the one you choose to start it from

[@apollyon3331]

So are the elite challenges required or is it simply play it on hard and don't die ever?

Hard mode, don't die, just like it says in the video.

[@thatdudeice9458]

Best guide ever but the one thing I have never understood is if you can die during the setups?? I know you can’t die during the heist but is it ok to die during setups??

[@BeatsDownGaming]

Can't die at all.

[@koenvanzuylen3568]

Do you need to do all this in one session or can you do the heists on different days?

[@BeatsDownGaming]

Whenever you like.

[@daviswalker2316]

Wait I don’t understand do me and my friend has to the the fleeca bank or my friend and two other friends do the Hiest at the same time

If all four players have not completed the CMM then all four players start with The Fleeca Job.

[@oobaka1967]

3 friends were trying to get this done with another guy but he kept screwing up. They ditched him and recruited me. We did it on the first attempt. I'm not going to watch the video so I don't know if he mentions it but...if I remember correctly, you can fail a mission and not have to start over from the beginning. You just can't die. And some people would just turn off their system if they were in danger of dying.

[@BeatsDownGaming]

Why would you not watch the video?

[@BigBlock500]

Can we complete other heists in between the 5 heists? for example i finished fleeca heist and need to wait for other team members can do a casino heist or this will cancel the criminal mastermind?

Its a nice tutorial for players with friends. For solo players its imposible to do this heists with random players. For me its imposible to get 1 player to join for the casino ore doomsday heist. To get 3 other random players to join for the og heists, will not hapen in a million years. The heists that lester have are totaly not playable for solo players.

Yup... not only are the payouts shiz but lester takes what feels like 60% of the cash you get in every heist he is a part of... Another problem is that some of the og heists are really really difficult and all of them require 4 players...
