Heist Prep

You do not have to complete all the prep missions. You just demand to complete the prep missions necessary for this sneaky arroyo forth with the mandatory prep missions, of course. If y'all're looking for a complete listing of prep missions, so experience costless to check out our consummate in-depth guide on all the missions here. Here's everything y'all need for the completion of this heist finale.

Vehicle Approaches

You need to complete the Submarine Kosatka prep mission for the vehicle approach, a mandatory prep mission.

Equipment

When it comes to equipment, 2 of the equipment prep missions are always going to exist mandatory - Fingerprint Cloner and either Plasma Cutter or the Safe Codes (depending on what your primary target is). These must be completed.

So you're left with a choice to either practise Demolition Charges or Cut Torch. Information technology is all-time to become with the Cutting Torch as not only does it take easier prep missions, but it is also much faster and silent when information technology comes to cutting the locks.

Weapons Loadout

Weapons Loadout is a personal preference, but we demand to complete this heist finale without getting detected and fast and therefore recommend going with the 'Crevice Shot' loadout. It has an AP Pistol and a Sniper Burglarize. This is the best loadout if yous want to sneak in and out.

The AP Pistol is a mini-SMG in the class of a pistol. Information technology is a reliable weapon not simply in this heist but in GTA Online in full general. Plus, you too become a Sniper Rifle that will allow y'all to take down enemies at range, especially the ones patrolling in Sniper towers (if needed).

The most important thing you need to buy in the weapons loadout is the suppressors for your weapons. This will suppress your shots when eliminating guards. You lot must become these. The suppressors price GTA$5,000.

That is everything you lot need to do for this heist finale. Y'all tin skip the disruption missions and other optional missions.

Secondary Targets

To brand certain you fill up your loot bag fully, you demand to telescopic out some secondary targets at the principal docks. The Primary docks will exist your primary escape signal used during this heist finale. Y'all need to scope out just two locations at the main docks: the big shed and the small locked room to the primary dock's right.

The Shed

Locked Room

Finale Prep

If you've done the above prep missions, yous should be able to choose the following during your heist finale screen.

Approach Vehicle: Kosatka
Infiltration Point: Drainage Tunnel
Compound Entry Point: Drainage Tunnel
Escape Point: Main Dock
Time Of Day: Dark
Weapons Loadout: Crack Shot and Suppressors

The approach vehicle is caused by doing the Submarine Kosatka prep mission. The infiltration signal, chemical compound entry point, and escape point are unlocked by scoping out certain locations on the island. If you exercise not run across the drainage tunnel and the main dock equally your infiltration signal/compound entry point and escape points, respectively, then chances are y'all haven't scoped out the locations.

The drainage tunnel is underwater behind El Rubio'due south compound. You need to swim to the location shown in the map below to scope out the drainage tunnel successfully.

For the main dock escape point, you demand to take a picture of the main dock and ship it to Pavel.

Y'all tin can detect all the scope out locations on our dedicated guide hither.

The Heist Finale

When you start the heist, y'all will exist underwater with a diving conform. Y'all need to swim to the drainage tunnel and cut open the grate using your cutting torch to enter the main compound. Exist careful of the underwater mines.

When you go through to the terminate of the drainage tunnel, a brusk cutscene of you entering the compound will play. Once the cutscene ends, go right and keep going straight and up the stairs until you reach the 2 guards standing at the finish of the walkway.

Take out both the guards silently and think to aim for the caput. The guards always take a second to react, so you will accept plenty of time to take both of them out without alerting either one of them. Continue moving forward, and once yous pass through the entrance, go through the grass patio and leap over the minor wall.

You will come across a guard correct in front of yous. Make certain you take him out and recollect NOT to kill him when he is in the cone of vision of one of the cameras in this area. This baby-sit volition be patrolling this area back and forth so he tin be anywhere in this expanse. Keep an eye out for him.

I of the guards might drib the gate keys. The drop is completely random, but there is a high hazard for one of the eliminated guards to drop the fundamental. The guard that nosotros just killed (in the images above) drops the gate keys. If they do, take the keys every bit they volition help later on to make your escape more than convenient. Even if you lot don't get the keys, don't worry though, you can still escape!

Do not continue moving forwards towards the entrance directly ahead of yous. Instead, accept a left and go up the stairs. Before going up, aim at the guard standing correct above you and take him out.

Afterwards killing the guard, make your manner up the stairs and and so some other prepare of stairs leading up to El Rubio'south main role. On your way up, there will exist another guard coming downwards the stairs. Y'all can apace take him out by meleeing him.

When you enter the office, get the elevator keycard off the table and arroyo the wall with the pictures to the left of the fireplace. Y'all volition get a prompt to open up the cloak-and-dagger safe here. It contains some actress greenbacks (added to the total take), a medkit, and a pistol. If y'all go paintings as secondary targets inside the part during your telescopic out, and then brand sure yous loot them as well.

Make your way to the elevator in the room and start the fingerprint cloning process. The fingerprint clone hacking process isn't just a matching procedure, simply information technology has a stock-still pattern every time. The trick here is to change all the components to match the clone target'south top component start.

Then, starting from the summit, change the component position to the right with an increasing increase of one for each component as yous go down. You don't even have to look at the residuum of the fingerprint patterns on the clone target.

The above paradigm shows the number of times you need to plow right on each pattern once you lot are on the topmost blueprint. 0 means you won't turn right at all, and 1 means you plow to the right once, and so on. Do the same with all of the patterns, and y'all will be able to do them speedily. When you lot are left with one component, ringlet through quickly, and it will start processing equally soon as you land on the right one.

When you accomplish the clandestine vault, cut open the lock using your cutting torch and use the plasma cutter to cut the glass exhibit holding the primary target. In our case, information technology was the Sinsimito Tequila.

Later on looting the primary target, make your way back to the elevator and the office. Become dorsum downstairs and turn right.

With Gate Keys

At the end of the walkway, if you accept the gate keys, turn left towards the entrance and take out the guard continuing by the locked gate. This baby-sit is always patrolling this general area and might not ever be in this specific spot, but, he eventually comes here. You will also find another baby-sit only outside the locked gate. Accept him out as well.

Subsequently eliminating both these guards, unlock the door and go through it. Yous will discover one more guard in front of the main chemical compound gate. Accept him out and leave via the main gate. When yous reach the main gate, a short cutscene of you opening the gate and escaping the compound will play.

Without Gate Keys

In case you practice not notice whatsoever gate keys, do not worry. Instead of turning left towards the locked gate, jump over and go up the stairs to achieve the same gate acme escape.

Once you're outside the compound, run toward the main leave and you will find a unmarried baby-sit standing by a wheel. Take him out, get the bike, and continue to ride towards the main leave. You will detect another unmarried baby-sit just earlier two more guards ahead of him. Accept this guard out also.

Take out the other 2 guards, that were alee of the previous one, and continue to ride towards the leave. You will find a security camera at the main get out bespeak. Shoot it using your pistol and ride abroad.

Continue to ride on the main dirt road until you run across a metal bulwark to your correct. As soon as yous run into information technology, become off the dirt route and turn right off-route, into the grassy mount. Go along to ride off-road until you lot reach the main docks.

When yous reach the main docks, go to the large shed to the left. Before proceeding, have out the guard continuing past information technology. There is also a security camera above it, but yous won't have a problem if you stick close to the photographic camera.

Get inside the shed, unlock the doors using your cutting torch and boodle both the tables (whether it'south for cash or drugs).

When you get out of the shed later looting the secondary targets, make your style to the correct side of the docks. As you're making your way there, you lot might come across another guard who will instantly detect you lot. So be ready to take him out as quickly as yous can or else he will shoot at you and alert the rest of the guards around you. Take him out and continue to brand your manner to the second locked gate with the secondary targets. Remember, we need to fill up our loot bag for the completion of the elite challenge. There volition exist some other guard continuing on the left side of the gate. Take him out as well.

Open the locked gate and aim for the drugs showtime, as they hold more than value, and will fill your boodle bag quicker. Your pocketbook will probably be filled before you tin can clean upwardly these tables.

Now make your manner to the boat at the chief docks for your escape. There will exist two guards standing on the correct side of the boat. Line upwards your aim and have them both out by aiming at their heads. Later taking them out, get into your boat.

There is some other guard to your left. Have him out besides, and and so drive your boat towards the open ocean.

As you're exiting the main docks, you lot volition find another baby-sit standing past the crane. Take him out as well, and then make your way to the open up ocean. Avoid the patrolling boats and go along driving abroad from the docks until the heist completion cutscene plays.
