Blitz Play

Overview

Blitz Play is a heist in Grand Theft Auto V ordered by corrupt FIB agent Steve Haines. He wants the three protagonists to ambush an armored truck carrying bearer bonds that he claims the rival IAA intends to use for its own schemes. The bonds are to be handed to Haines's associate Devin Weston, so the crew does the dangerous work for no cash take.

Setup missions

• Blitz Play Intro: Haines, Dave Norton and Andreas Sanchez brief Michael, Franklin and Trevor at the Murrieta Oil Field.
• Boiler Suits: buy matching work outfits at Ammu-Nation.
• Masks: buy masks at a shop on Vespucci Beach.
• Trash Truck: steal a garbage truck to block the road.
• Tow Truck: steal a tow truck to ram the armored car.
• Getaway Vehicle: park a getaway car at the chosen point.

Approaches

There is a single plan. Trevor takes a high vantage point with binoculars and calls out when the armored truck approaches. Michael pulls the garbage truck across the street, and Franklin rams the stopped armored car side-on with the tow truck, flipping it. Franklin blows the rear doors, the crew collects the bonds and then holds off waves of police, NOOSE teams, snipers and helicopters, with Trevor sniping from above. Franklin finally blows up the garbage truck to destroy evidence and escapes in the getaway car while Michael delivers the bonds.

Crew and tips

No hired crew is used.

• Switch to Trevor often to deal with the rooftop snipers and the helicopter; shooting down the chopper as Trevor is a gold medal objective.
• Use cover behind the overturned truck and switch characters at least ten times for another gold objective.
• Choose a getaway car that is easy to reach on foot from the ambush site.

Payout

The crew earns nothing from the bonds. Completing Blitz Play unlocks the Assault Shotgun, Bullpup Shotgun, Combat MG and RPG at Ammu-Nation, makes Devin Weston a contact for Michael and lets Chef be hired as a gunman. It also opens Devin's car theft missions and Michael's film work with Solomon Richards.
