Cookyman Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Can't believe they've only just launched the heists! What is it 18 months since first release? What you complaining about? Its free. It's not like they added much! Grand Theft Auto Online Heists Overview Heists are a new type of gameplay experience inside GTA Online – massive, multi-layered, 4-player co-operative missions that encourage players to work together and make the most of their individual strengths, and a team’s level of communication and coordination can make or break each mission. Heists unlock at Rank 12 for players with a high-end apartment. They are started by a call from Lester and a visit to his garment factory. Please note there is a short delay between each Heist, but Lester will be in touch when the next Heist is ready. You can replay Heist strands by calling Lester using the “Request Heist” option. Triggering a Heist Players who are rank 12 or above and own a high-end apartment will receive a phone call from Lester. When a player accepts Lester’s call and begins the Heist, they become the Heist leader and can choose to invite other players from the lobby, their friends list, or players from the previous Heist. Players of any rank who have already completed the GTA Online tutorial up to and including Gerald’s first LTS job can play Heists by accepting an invitation from a Heist leader. The Heist leader has the responsibility of fronting the setup costs to acquire whatever equipment and additional NPC personnel needed to pull off the job – which amounts to a percentage of the final pay-out. Setup Missions Members earn money for completing each setup mission. Heist leaders do not earn any money for completing a setup mission, though they do earn 10% more RP than other members. Leaders can assign themselves a larger portion of the take once the entire Heist is complete. Successfully completing a setup missions drops players back into Freemode. The Heist leader can then use their phone to return to the Heist planning board and start the next job in the strand. Awards Large cash and RP awards are earned for completing one-off and repeatable Heist Bonus Challenges. Challenge criteria are: Completing each Heist Finale for the first time. Completing all the Heists as a member. Completing all 5 Heists in order. Completing all the Heists back to back with the same team. Completing all Heists on Hard difficulty, with the same team, in order, and without anyone dying. On PS4 and Xbox One only: completing all Heists in first person view. Note: The Heist leader must lock the game to first person in the lobby to unlock this. Replaying a Heist Heists are available for replay after completing each full strand as Heist leader. Players can do this by calling Lester and requesting a Heist. There is a short delay before you can replay the same Heist again as Leader. Heists are available for players to join as crew members without delay as long as there is a Leader with an active lobby to join. The Heist replay board becomes available at your high end apartment once you have completed all 5 Heist finales as Leader or crew member (but you must also have reached rank 12 and visited Lester to access it). Adversary Modes There is a cooldown period between the completion of each Heist and when the next one becomes available. At the same time, new Adversary modes will unlock as you complete each Heist. Adversarymodes are fun new asymmetrical gameplay types within GTA Online. There are 16 new versus missions spread across 3 new modes: Siege Mentality In Siege Mentality, one to three players are placed in a tower and are tasked to survive for 4 minutes. They can’t leave the tower but they have full use of all weapons. Attackers are tasked with taking out the tower players and have unlimited lives but only use sawn-off shotguns. Hasta La Vista Hasta La Vista is based on an action classic: The Runners are attempting to reach a checkpoint on bicycles whilst being chased by the Attackers in trucks. No weapons are included in this versus mode; the Attackers in the trucks must rely solely on crushing the Runners. If one of the Runners reaches the checkpoint, they win. The Attackers must take out all of the Runners to win. Come Out to Play In Come Out to Play, a team of Runners attempt to survive a run on foot to an escape point while being pursued by Hunters riding bikes (or ATV’s). The Hunters must stay on their bikes and are limited to using sawn-off shotguns, but have infinite lives. The Runners only have one life each, but all their weapons to defend themselves with. Additional GTA Online Content Daily Objectives have been added to GTA Online, unlocking at Rank 15. Players will receive Cash and RP rewards for completing all 3 given objectives each day. An additional large cash and RP bonus can be earned for completing all daily objectives for 7 days straight, and then an even bigger award for completing them 28 days straight. New Free Roam Activities have been added to GTA Online. These unlock at Rank 15. Destroy Vehicle Distract Cops Plane Takedown 40 new Awards (including one first person reward for PS4 and Xbox One only) have been added. These awards are for a variety of existing and newly added content, some of which are accompanied by large cash rewards, t-shirt unlocks, or vehicle modification price reductions. 9 new Heist Achievements / Trophies have been added to GTA Online. New vehicles have been added to the in-game vehicle websites and are immediately available for purchase. 11 existing vehicles have also been added to the various in-game websites for purchase.

For example, if you just finished playing Rooftop Rumble, only Missions will appear on the new first page, and you will have a “Random Mission” option. The second page will show a random selection of jobs, similar to how the Next Job Voting Screen works now, to allow players to change Job types if desired. On Call Quick Jobs will now place the player On Call. Players who choose to join Jobs using the phone’s Quick Job function will now be shown which Job they will be joining. Corona Players who are not the Host are now able to send Job invites when in a lobby for a Job, so long as the Host sets the Client Invites option to Open (visible on the Matchmaking screen when in a lobby). Please note that only Hosts can invite to Head to Head and Challenge Playlists. A new invite option has need added – “From Last Heist”. This option allows players to invite all players from a previous Heist in the session. This will only appear if there are players to invite. The following Job types now have limited durations while in Open lobbies to mitigate lengthy settings chosen by some hosts (Please note that all options are still available for private, friends, and crew only sessions): Deathmatch – Maximum time of 20 minutes Capture, LTS, Versus and Adversary Mode (max rounds) – 4 (2 Team Mission), 3 (3 Team Mission), 2 (4 Team Mission) Online Menu Join Job has been renamed to Quick Job. Host Job has been renamed to Play Job. Pointing animations have been added to allow players to give basic directions if they do not have microphones. Saved Outfits – players can now save up to 10 of their own Outfits when browsing clothing at the clothes store. Players can access their saved Outfits at the Outfit counter in a clothes store, from the wardrobe in their apartment, or through the Interaction menu. They can also wear these saved outfits when ‘Player Owned’ is selected as the clothing option in a Heist or Adversary Mode corona. A new UI and color scheme has been added for player phones to allow Heist related activities and invites to stand out. All Heist related invites are green.

Players can choose which of their Personal Vehicles to take on a Heist while on the Outfit selection screen. Lester Kill Targets now appear as an option for Quick GPS on the Interaction menu.

The Homing Launcher has been rebalanced to have increased reload times, reduced firing rate, and an increase to the resilience of large capacity planes against it. “Request Heist” has been added to Lester’s Contact Menu. This will only show Heists that have already been completed, as well as only showing if one is available. Players can play a random Heist Setup or Finale as a Heist Crew Member via Quick Job.

Tales Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Great to see it's finally added. I'll play this weekend.
Tales Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Think it's impossible to get four players on n-europe to play through all heists in succession?
Cookyman Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Think it's impossible to get four players on n-europe to play through all heists in succession? Yup, it's impossible to get them to do anything except fucking Destiny.
DriftKaiser Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Do anyone have a problem with their R2 won't let you do a burnout or reach full speed? Yup it's my old dualshock have problem with R2. I can do the burnout and full speed on the Blue Wave Dualshock fine! Edited March 20, 2015 by DriftKaiser
Happenstance Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 I think as im not back at work until Friday this week I might actually try and get around to doing the online heists in this. Still havent even tried them yet.
MadDog Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Just started mine. Looking at about 2 hours 30 mins download time.
Emasher Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Finished pre-loading now. Even though I played through the game already on the PS3 last year, I'm still pretty excited for this. On the other hand, I'm now down to 40 GBs left on my hard drive.
Happenstance Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 We really need to arrange some GTA V PS4 Heist nights. Im getting sick of playing with random people who just run in guns blazing and die constantly.
Tales Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Agreed, the heists are fun, but I gave up playing with randoms.
Happenstance Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Ok i'll start mentioning people in this thread who I assume have the game on PS4, try and get some numbers and maybe sort out some nights to do heists! Let me know if you are interested in PS4 heists. @Cookyman @Tales @DriftKaiser @Eddage @bryanee @somme @drahkon @Fierce_LiNk ...probably missing a load more so if you know anyone else then please direct them back to this thread.
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I do have the game but I've hardly played it! It's the next game I'm playing after Bloodborne, so I'll be up for it soooon.
Jimbob Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I'm the same as Flinky, i've got it but hardly been online with it. I'll be up for it as well (soon-ish)
MadDog Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Steam is broken. Might be a while till i can play...
Tales Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 So we have at least five people that want to play. Is this weekend too early for @Jimbob and @Fierce_LiNk ?
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 I wouldnt expect either of them for a while though if they are low level. Dont heists unlock at level 12?
Jimbob Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I won't be ready for a while, i think i reached level 5 last time i was on. Last check, it's level 12 for heists at least. Will be a while yet, this weekend is too early. But thank's for the offer none the less.
