Minisub is a heist setup in Grand Theft Auto V, given to protagonist Trevor Philips.

Description[]

After Trevor decides to take the plans using a chopper and a submarine, the player needs to steal a yellow Submersible, which is hanging off the freighter located in the Port of Los Santos. To free the submarine, Trevor can sneak onto the ship and release the cables holding the submarine using an on-ship control panel. There is one guard that Trevor must either avoid or kill. Alternatively, Trevor can use a sniper rifle to take out the cables holding the submarine, which lets the submarine fall into the water. Either way, Trevor must then board the submarine and pilot it to a different part of the port. There, Floyd pulls the submarine from the water using a crane and places the submarine on a semi-truck with a large flatbed trailer. Trevor and Floyd tie down the submarine, then together drive it to a port warehouse for safekeeping.

Mission Objectives[]

  • Retrieve the sub.
  • Go to the extraction point.
  • Drop the sub off at the warehouse.
  • Get out of the truck.

Gold Medal Objectives[]

  • Time - Complete within 08:30.
    • Skip the cutscene and take the boat towards south Elysian Island and then go towards Pier 400 and stay close to the surface to avoid underwater obstacles.
  • No Boarding - Steal the Submersible without boarding the boat.
    • Snipe the cables from land and dive into the water to obtain the Submersible.

I seen a sub, Trevor. Down at the docks on a ship called Daisy-Lee. U cld like snap the ropes somehow or maybe they is some switch to drop it. W4de \m/
Trevor goes to a freighter in the Port of Los Santos, where he finds a Submersible hanging off it. Either by using the control panel on-board the ship or by breaking the cables, Trevor steals the submarine.
Floyd
(Voice only):
Trevor?
Trevor: Floyd, I've got that submarine we talked about. You got to help me store it for a few days. Floyd...don't go quiet on me, or I'll come around and...and I'll...well...we both know what I'm talking about.
Floyd
(Voice only):
Okay, umm, alright. Bring it around to Pier 400 at the Western Docks.
Trevor: On my way.
Floyd
(Voice only):
Look, I'll have a truck to bring you around the warehouse.
Trevor: What's this? The Union man doing an honest day's work?
Floyd
(Voice only):
There's nothing honest about this, sir. This is a dishonest day's work, if ever I seen one.
Trevor: Hey, we're not hurting anyone.
Floyd
(Voice only):
No, no one except whoever owns that submarine, and the...and the mercenary folks on the freighter.
Trevor: Do some research on Merryweather Security Consulting, friend. They'd be on trial for human rights offenses if the US government didn't protect all its contractors from any kind of suit - military or civilian. They're immune from prosecution, and they behave like they are. Murdering, stealing, high on power, guns, and anabolic steroids. Lucky bastards.
Floyd
(Voice only):
Look, I don't know about that stuff.
Trevor: Oh, you're right. You don't. Merryweather are employed by the richest, greediest scum on the planet to shit on the poorest and the neediest. So we are going to enjoy shitting on them.
Floyd
(Voice only):
Oh great. Well, I look forward to that.
Trevor: Okay, well, that's more like it.
Trevor gets to Pier 400, where Floyd lifts the submarine with the crane and places it onto a flatbed trailer hauled by a Packer, then ties it down.
Trevor: Oh, what are you doing? It's done, let's go! Let's go!
Floyd: Oh, okay, alright.
Trevor: Hurry up!
Floyd: Oh, God. Alright, here we go.
Trevor and Floyd get into the Packer.
Floyd: Alright, I'm here.
Trevor: Oh, Jesus...
Floyd: (Not in subtitles)
*It's just down the road, Los Santos Marine, past the shipyards.
*It's around the corner, past the shipyards.
Trevor and Floyd drive to Los Santos Marine.
Trevor: Is that sub covered properly?
Floyd: It'll be fine if we just get there.
Trevor: Are you being short with me?
Floyd: No, no, no. No, sir. I am certainly not being short, I'm just not used to this kind of pressure.
Trevor: If you turn a crew onto a score, you got to be ready for the heat that comes with it.
Floyd: I didn't turn anyone onto anything. You threatened and cajoled and tricked me...
Trevor: You don't want a cut, just walk away.
Floyd: I can't walk away, you're robbing my workplace, and running the show from my home!
Trevor: Debra's home. No cut for you, no cut for Debra.
Trevor and Floyd arrive at Los Santos Marine, then get out of the truck.
Trevor: You sure it'll be okay there?
Floyd: Umm, sure.
Trevor: Alright. If you're wrong, I'll eat your sweet meats. Now get out of here.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only heist set-up mission to appear in both Option A and B of a heist set-up.
  • This mission is one of the first instances in the game where Dolphins can be observed. Several will usually take interest in the Submersible, and can be identified by their calls.
  • It is possible to unhook the trailer from the Packer and grab a different truck to pull the trailer. However, during the Merryweather Heist, the same Packer used to pull the Submersible will appear instead of the different truck the player used earlier.
  • If the player skips the cutscene of the Submersible being loaded, the crane will not be there.
    • It is also possible to let the cutscene play as normal, then driving away and returning back to where the vehicle is loaded. The crane will not be there, but the steel cable can be seen floating mid-air.
  • During the mission, the Submersible stays on the trailer and will not move unless by hard collisions. However, after finishing the mission, if the player attempts to take the trailer (pushing the truck until it is detached with another semi-truck), it may cause the sub to shake violently to the point it explodes.
    • Rarely, the sub will disappear, but the truck and the trailer will not.
