Planning the Big Score is the first part of the multi-mission final heist in Grand Theft Auto V, given to protagonists Trevor Philips, Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton.

Methods and Preparation

Subtle

In this method, Michael and Trevor steal the two Securicars that are going to the Union Depository, make the occupants hostage and support and pose as Gruppe 6 officers, so they can enter in the Union and peacefully take the gold. Then they take the gold to four modified Gauntlets, so they can get out of the city without allerting the police.

Choosing the subtle method will unlock the following setup mission:

• Stingers
• Three Modified Gauntlets

Obvious

In this method, Franklin uses a cutter to reach the Union Depository vault from the underground, so he can steal the gold directly from the vault. Michael will be at the front of the Union, distracting the cops and Trevor uses his helicopter the take the gold to the train.

Choosing the obvious method will unlock the following setup mission:

• Driller
• Sidetracked
• Getaway Vehicle

Crew

The following characters are available to complete Michael, Trevor and Franklin's crew.

Subtle Method

Gunman

Note: the first gunman helps Michael and Trevor in the Union Depository, the second gunman helps steal the Securicars.

• Gustavo Mota - If chosen, he provides a good job being either the first or second gunman. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Karl Abolaji - If chosen, he provides a decent job being either the first or second gunman, but he doesn't disrupts the mission in any way.
• Packie McReary* - If chosen, he provides a good job being either the first or second gunman. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Norm Richards - If chosen, he provides a decent job being either the first or second gunman, but he doesn't disrupts the mission in any way. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Chef - If chosen, he provides a good job being either the first or second gunman. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Hugh Welsh - If chosen, he provides a decent job being either the first or second gunman, but he doesn't disrupts the mission in any way. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Daryl Johns - If chosen, he provides a decent job being either the first or second gunman, but he doesn't disrupts the mission in any way. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)

Driver

Note: the first driver helps with the escape in the Gauntlets, the second driver helps change the tires of the Securicars when they are stolen.

• Eddie Toh - If chosen as the first driver, he changes the tires with no problem and as the second driver, he doesn't let any gold bar fall and is not captured by the police in the escape. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Karim Denz - If chosen as the first driver, he changes the tires with no problem, however, as the second driver, he will let gold bars fall and will be captured by the police in the escape. If he have previously experience either from the jewelry or FIB heist, then none of this things happen.
• Taliana Martinez* - If chosen as the first driver, he changes the tires with no problem and as the second driver, he doesn't let any gold bar fall and is not captured by the police in the escape. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)

Hacker

• Paige Harris - If chosen, there will be no lag while controling the traffic lights. (Previously experience doesn't make any difference)
• Christian Feltz - If chosen, there will be a lag of 2 seconds in his connection, but if he have previously experience from either the jewelry or FIB heist, then there will be no lag at all.
• Rickie Luckens - If chosen, there will be a 4 seconds lag in his connection, but if he have previously experience from either the jewelry or FIB heist, then the lag will be only 2 seconds long, if he have experience from both the heists, then there will be no lag at all.

* The player must first complete the character's stranger task.
