Only one major heist appears in GTA IV, as the mission Three Leaf Clover. After carrying out the necessary preparations, the mission " Breaking the Bank at Caligula's" sees the team rip off the casino and make their escape.
The idea of performing a series of setup missions leading to a large robbery reappeared in GTA San Andreas, in which Carl Johnson and Wu Zi Mu organize a heist at Caligula's Palace in Las Venturas. After a series of setup missions in which the various members of the team are recruited to Tommy's cause, the final mission " The Job" involves the execution of the robbery itself.
Grand Theft Auto Online also includes a major heists component, as of the Heists Update.Īlthough not specifically named or identified as such, the first multi-part heist scenario appeared in GTA Vice City, and centered on Tommy Vercetti gathering a team to rob El Banco Corrupto Grande. Since the origins of the concept in Vice City, several games in the series have included similar mission strands, most notably Grand Theft Auto V, which builds its entire story mode around the concept of several elaborate heists. The final crime tends to be a high-profit job that can earn the player a considerable sum of money, typically greater than would be expected of other missions. Heists are elaborate multi-part story missions first introduced in Grand Theft Auto Vice City that involve the setting up and subsequent execution of a major crime, usually a theft. Cash is king in GTA V, and while there will be plenty of ways to acquire and spend it, heists are the way to earn the big bucks. To score big, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor will work together to pull off grand heists - big, multi-part missions that require careful preparation, recruiting, and precise (and often explosive) execution. “ Petty crimes, hustling and stealing cars can only get you so far in Los Santos.
