The Paleto Score

Overview

The Paleto Score is the bank robbery finale in Grand Theft Auto V that funds the FIB's raid on Humane Labs. Michael, Trevor and a hired gunman rob the Blaine County Savings Bank in Paleto Bay while Franklin handles the getaway, and what should be a quiet job turns into a battle with the army.

Walkthrough

1. Drive from Sandy Shores to Paleto Bay and drop Franklin off.
2. Enter the bank; Trevor shoots out the camera and the crew controls the hostages while the gunman torches the safe deposit room.
3. Grab the money and step out in heavy armor to face the police and military.
4. Fight down the main street with miniguns and machine guns, destroying police cars and military vehicles.
5. As Franklin, take a bulldozer from the nearby construction site and carry Michael and Trevor in its bucket while they keep firing.
6. Push through the town to the Cluckin' Bell chicken factory and board the passing train back to Sandy Shores.

Tips

• Gold medal objectives: fire over 4,000 bullets, 50% accuracy, finish within 16:00 and cause $1,000,000 in damage in Paleto Bay.
• Use the minigun on vehicles to rack up damage quickly, but switch to short bursts on soldiers to protect accuracy.
• A cheap gunman will die during the escape; skilled gunmen like Chef or Gustavo Mota survive.
• Watch out for tank shells during the bulldozer section and keep moving.

Rewards and unlocks

Each protagonist receives roughly $460,000 after the FIB takes most of the money. The MG, Minigun and, in the enhanced version, the Marksman Rifle become available. The mission unlocks Derailed.
