Why this works & tips
Why this works
- It compares each approach for the heist you name and explains which crew members to pick and why.
- A spoiler limit keeps the answer to that heist, and it covers how crew skills carry into later heists.
Tips
- Tested with ChatGPT and Gemini with web search on. Free Gemini sometimes labels third-party or Reddit sources as 'Official', so open the links before relying on anything it calls official.
Prompt
Written by us, last tested Oct 19, 2026. The words in [BRACKETS] are filled in by the form below, with our tested examples already in.
I'm playing GTA V Story Mode and about to plan a heist. Help me pick the approach and crew. - Heist: [HEIST] - What matters most: [PRIORITY] - Want 100% completion: [FULL COMPLETION] If I left a field at its default, use the default. Search the web for current information before you answer, and don't rely on memory, since versions, patches and store listings change. If you can't browse the web, say so in your first line and mark anything you can't verify as "unverified" instead of guessing. Label each fact official (Rockstar Support, Rockstar Newswire or the store listing), community-tested (name the wiki, guide or thread) or estimate (your own judgment), and say the date you checked. Spoiler rule: don't reveal any story events after this heist; use mission names only, and don't mention endings, choices, deaths or which characters appear later. Compare the approaches for this heist. Recommend crew members for each role and explain the trade-off (cost cut versus failure risk), and tell me which cheap crew members become better in later heists if they survive. If I want 100%, say whether the approach choice affects completion. Cite community-tested take figures if you give any, and don't make any up.
