00:00Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of GTA Online.

00:03Now first of all, apologies if the quality seems a bit weird, I'm doing this on the Xbox DVR,

00:08which isn't always that reliable, I haven't really used it before.

00:11I'm also having to do the narration after the recording, so, you know, if it seems a bit out of sync, that's why.

00:17But today, in today's episode we're going to be looking at heists, or more specifically, how to prepare for heists.

00:22You know, what you need to set them up, advise on transportation, vehicles,

00:27even the clothing that will help maximise your chance of survival, such as the bulletproof helmet.

00:33First of all, the heists don't actually come out until March 10th,

00:36so this is based on information from the Rockstar Newswire and various media outlets that have had previews of heists.

00:44Now, heists are quite similar to the offline mode heists, from what we can see.

00:50You know, you've got your set-up missions, you've got your main heist,

00:53you've got choosing what crew members do what job, and then you obviously get a share of the money that's received from the heists.

01:00Now, to actually join the heists, it's relatively simple.

01:03As far as I'm aware, you just have to have an account, be invited to the heists, and you can join the heists.

01:09If you want to set up a heist, it's a bit more difficult.

01:12The heist leader has to be level 12, which is easy, but they also need to have a high-end interior,

01:19so, you know, a high-end apartment is quite an expensive thing to get.

01:25More specifically, you need the boardroom at the back, which we're just walking over to.

01:30Now, if you want to know what flats or apartments have the high-end interior, this is actually simple to do.

01:38If you go to the laptop, or online internet, or in GTA, go to the Dynasty 8 website, property listings, and you've got a high-end category up here.

01:48If you scroll down, the cheapest one is $200,000.

01:52So, if you haven't got a high-end apartment already, it's going to be quite expensive to get one.

01:58The heist leader also has to pay for any upfront costs,

02:02so they're going to have to put in a lot more initial investment than the rest of the heist members.

02:08But being the heist leader, you also get to choose who gets what percentage cut everyone gets,

02:15so you can give yourself a higher cut off the money you receive from the heists.

02:20So, you can get back your initial investment that way,

02:24maybe another way is to get other heist members to contribute their own money,

02:28send it to you, and they all get an equal share at the end.

02:32Now, clothing... well, clothing doesn't really matter.

02:36There's only one or two that really matter.

02:38The bulletproof helmet, which helps protect from headshots, and team tops.

02:42I haven't tried team tops, but I have heard they can protect against some damage,

02:46so you may want to try them yourself.

02:48I would definitely use the bulletproof helmet, though.

02:52Now, when you're doing your heist, you're also going to want some good form of transportation.

02:56You may all take your own cars each, your own personal vehicles,

03:00but you may also agree that you want one specific vehicle.

03:03In which case, I would suggest, personally, the Gallivanter Bullner or the Karin BJ XL.

03:09Both are fast cars, good off-road, can take four people, very good cars.

03:14But, no matter what car you choose, you can't upgrade the top speed of the car,

03:19so you're going to want to pick one that has a very good top speed.

03:23When you go to upgrade it, if you want to upgrade it, you can't upgrade the top speed,

03:28like I said, but you can upgrade the acceleration and the brakes.

03:31You can also buy additional extras, like the armour, bulletproof tyres.

03:35Bulletproof tyres are a definite must.

03:37Armour is probably more for against explosions, for me personally,

03:42because the amount of bullets it takes to actually destroy a car is ridiculous.

03:46You can also see I've added bumpers and side skirts,

03:49that give a bigger surface area.

03:54Now, this may seem a bit silly, because that means bullets are more likely to hit the car,

03:57but say you take cover on the left here, and someone shoots at you from the right,

04:00they won't be able to hit you because of the custom skirts.

04:03Or, if you take cover behind the car, they won't be able to hit you because of the enlarged bumper.

04:08Not sure how useful that would actually be in a real-life situation,

04:11but anything that improves survivability when you're taking cover behind your car has got to help.

04:17So, you've set up the heist, you've got your crew members, you've got your car.

04:21The next thing you're going to want is weapons.

04:24Now, the heists, from what I understand, have lots of different scenarios.

04:28Some have infiltration, sneaky type missions, and some are going to involve a lot of explosions and big firefights.

04:37So, when you choose your weapons, you're going to want to be able to deal with all kinds of situations.

04:44Now, we're just on the way to ammunition at the minute, where I'll show you some of the weapons I've taken.

04:49I've actually got, I think, one silenced weapon for each category, because I want to be prepared for situations.

04:57Like I said, infiltration or just general shooting everything up that moves,

05:03because that will probably happen quite a lot of the time.

05:07So, as you can see here, I've got one suppressed weapon in each category,

05:11although the majority is unsuppressed, because you're only going to need one or two suppressed weapons really.

05:16You don't want to go overboard with them.

05:18But the next important thing is body armour.

05:21Not a lot of people realise, but you can actually stack body armour.

05:24You can see here I've got seven, and I can equip it whenever I want.

05:27I'm not sure if you can take seven of each different body armour, or if it's just seven overall.

05:33I'll quickly test it.

05:35Buy the super-heavy armour.

05:38No, you can just buy seven of all types. It doesn't stack for each different type.

05:42You can't take seven super-heavy, seven normal, seven super-light.

05:47But also buy snacks, because I think if you're in cover they instantly regenerate your health,

05:52which is something you definitely want.

05:54What else is there?

05:56I think there are some challenges to do with heists as well.

05:59If you're completing each for the first time, you get a cash bonus.

06:03If you complete them all in the right order, you get a million-dollar bonus.

06:07If you do them in the right order with the same crew members, you get a million-dollar bonus.

06:11And if you do them in the right order with the same crew members, and don't die, and it's on hard,

06:16not a single person dies in any of the heists, you get ten million dollars.

06:20So you can potentially get a lot of money, although not dying over five different heists on hard difficulty

06:26seems a bit too tough, maybe.

06:29But yeah, I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to cover in this episode.

06:33I hope you found it useful.

06:35Like I said, heists come out on March 10th, so you've got a few days to prepare if you haven't already.

06:41Like I said, I hope you found this episode useful.

06:44I hope you watch future episodes, and I'll see you next time.
