Overview

Planning the Big Score is the planning board mission for the Union Depository robbery in Grand Theft Auto V. The three protagonists and Lester meet at the Vanilla Unicorn to choose how to take the gold and who to bring along. It follows Meltdown and comes after the long feud between Michael and Trevor has cooled enough for them to work together.

Walkthrough

  1. Meet the crew at the Vanilla Unicorn.
  2. Choose the Subtle or Obvious approach.
  3. Select the crew members for each role.
  4. Leave the club to unlock the matching setups.

Tips

  • There are no gold medal objectives.
  • The Obvious approach needs fewer crew and pays more.
  • Use experienced crew members from earlier heists; never place an inexperienced Karim Denz as the first driver.
  • Crew members who have survived earlier heists perform better.
  • The cheapest crew combination is usually only safe in the second driver and second gunman slots.

Rewards and unlocks

Subtle unlocks Stingers and Gauntlet; Obvious unlocks Driller, Sidetracked and Getaway Vehicle.
