Subtle or obvious? The best approach for The Big Score in GTA 5
The subtle approach for The Big Score may be the safest, but choose the obvious approach if you want to get the biggest score.
The best team for The Big Score in GTA 5
The approach you choose will determine the equipment you use for The Big Score.
If you choose the Subtle approach, you’ll need decent gunmen to help you escape, good drivers to handle the gauntlets and trucks, and a good hacker to deal with the traffic lights. If you’ve been leveling up your team, you won’t have much trouble choosing the right people for the job.
The best equipment for Subtle focus:
- 2 Gunmen: Gustavo Mota, Chef or Packie McReary (1) and Daryl Johns (2)
- 2 drivers: Taliana Martinez (1) or Eddie Toh (1) and Karim Denz (2)
- 1 hacker: Rickie Lukens
If you choose the Obvious approach, you need cheap gunslingers and good drivers. You won’t need a hacker for this.
The best equipment for the Obvious approach:
- 2 Gunmen – Any, with the most experienced gunman as Gunman 2
- 2 drivers: Taliana Martinez (1) or Eddie Toh (1) and Karim Denz (2)
Here are some tips for The Big Score team in GTA 5:
- It is recommended that you recruit Taliana Martinez and Packie McReary to give you more options.
- Taliana Martínez can be recruited after the Crash Rescue random event.
- Packie McReary can be recruited after the Getaway Driver random event.
- If you don’t have Taliana available, choose Eddie Toh as Driver 1. Karim Denz should always be Driver 2.
- If you don’t have Packie McReary, you can choose Gustavo Mota or Chef.
Big Score’s Best Getaway Car
For the setup mission, Getaway Vehicle, the best getaway vehicle is a fast 4-door car. You can choose to modify the car by improving the armor, engine, tires and brakes, but it is not mandatory.
If you repeat the heist, the default car is the Ubermacht Oracle, but other good getaway cars include:
- Obey the goalkeeper
- bully buffalo
- Quick copy
- Karin Sultan
- Criminal Lampadati
Subtle Focus Tutorial for The Big Score in GTA 5
The Big Score’s subtle approach is precisely what it means: subtle with minimal confrontations. Using this approach requires the crew to disguise themselves as security guards, enter the bank, take the gold, and leave peacefully.
Preparation Missions:
Before the heist, the trio must complete these preparation missions:
- Gauntlet: Steal three Bravado Gauntlets and modify them to handle a high-risk getaway.
- Stingers – Steal an LSPD van equipped with spike strips.
Tutorial:
Michael and Trevor dress up as guards and ambush the Union Depository’s armored trucks. They take a guard with them to help with the robbery.
After arriving at the Union Depository, the bank manager takes Michael and Trevor to the underground vault where tons of gold are hidden. The crew takes the cars and loads them into the armored trucks.
Michael and his crew leave, but not before Merryweather’s mercenaries spot them. Franklin and the hacker must change the traffic lights to hinder the pursuers.
If successful, Michael and Trevor meet Franklin and the rest of the crew under a bridge. From there, they load the gauntlets with gold bricks. As they load the gauntlets, Merryweather’s mercenaries arrive and a shootout ensues.
Once the mercenaries are defeated, the crew takes off in the gauntlets and is immediately followed by the police. The police chase ends when the cars are loaded onto two trucks. Now that the gold is safe, they hide the semi-finals and meet at Michael’s house.
Tips for a getaway:
Below are some tips for The Big Score’s subtle approach:
- The choice of the first gunman is important. If you choose a bad gunslinger, he will drop gold bars while transferring them to the Gauntlets.
- Karim Denz should always be the second driver. If he is chosen as the first driver, he will drop gold bars when loading the gauntlets.
Result:
If all goes well with the Subtle approach, the crew can earn around $201,600,000 in total. Of course, money was spent upgrading the Gauntlets and paying the guards $300,000, so this isn’t the most money the crew can make.
There are also gold medal goals to achieve:
| Getting closer | Crew | Gold medal goals |
|---|---|---|
| Subtle | Michael, Franklin, Trevor | Kill 20 enemies with a headshot Make less than 10 traffic light changes Finish with at least 60% shooting accuracy |

Obvious Approach Walkthrough for The Big Score in GTA 5
The obvious approach for The Big Score is a little louder and with more gunfights. The goal of this approach is for Michael and one gunman to provide a distraction while Franklin and the second gunman drill a hole next to the vault.
Preparation Missions:
Before the heist, the trio must complete these preparation missions:
- Driller: Steal the cutter from a warehouse in East Los Santos.
- Diverted: Divert a train and secure the freight locomotive and a platform.
- Getaway vehicle: Get the car needed for the getaway.
Tutorial:
Michael, Trevor, and Franklin split up: Michael headed to the Union Depot to pick up one of the gunmen, Franklin headed underground to drive the cutter, and Trevor and Lester in a helicopter flying over the depot.
Michael and the gunman enter the warehouse while Franklin sticks the cutter into the wall and punches a large hole in the wall.
In the bank vault, Franklin places sticky bombs on the cages and opens the doors. As soon as the doors open, a NOOSE team arrives. Franklin holds off the police while the gunman begins loading the boxes.
After defeating the first wave, Trevor arrives with the helicopters. A second NOOSE team arrives and Franklin and the gunman have to protect the gold and the helicopters.
Once the second wave is defeated, Trevor and Lester escape with the gold secured to the helicopters. Now that Franklin and Trevor are escaping, Michael and the gunman have to do it. A shootout occurs between Michael and the police outside the warehouse.
Eventually, Michael meets up with Franklin and they continue fighting to reach the getaway car. Meanwhile, Trevor, Lester and one of the conductors fly towards the train with the platform.
Along the way, they are intercepted by Merryweather. Trevor has to keep the helicopter close and stable so Lester can fire rockets at the Merryweather helicopters. After Merryweather has been eliminated, Trevor must place the gold on top of the platform. The crew then heads to Sandy Shores Airfield. After a brief celebration, the crew separates.
Tips for a getaway:
Here are some entry tips for The Big Score’s Obvious approach:
- You don’t need the best gunman in this approach, but the most experienced one should be your second gunman. They will help in the shootout with the police.
- During the getaway you can take the underground subway tunnel that is under construction. This will help you quickly lose the police officers chasing you.
- Keeping the helicopter stable is quite easy as Lester will fire as soon as the helicopters are in line of sight. The sooner Lester takes out the helicopters, the better the chances of protecting the second helicopter and the gold it contains.
Result:
If all goes well with the Obvious approach, the crew earns $201,600,000 in total. This equates to approximately $26,000,000 for Michael, Trevor and Franklin. Since they didn’t need to pay anyone or spend money on their cars, this is a complete conclusion.
There are also gold medal goals to achieve:
| Getting closer | Crew | Gold medal goals |
|---|---|---|
| Obvious | Michael, Franklin, Trevor | Complete in 16:00 Kill 20 enemies with a headshot. Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 60%. Drop the gold on the train in 30 seconds. |
Good luck completing GTA 5’s final heist! From here, the last GTA 5 mission awaits us, and a pretty important decision to make…
