Blitz Play is the third heist. Everything from the setup jobs comes together here: the suits, the masks, the tow truck, the garbage truck and the parked getaway car. The target is an armored van on a city street.
Walkthrough
- Drive the garbage truck to the marker. After the cutscene, park it across the street so it blocks both lanes.
- When the armored van stops, pull out of the alley in the tow truck and ram it from the side.
- Get out, put a sticky bomb on the back doors, step away and set it off.
- Police and SWAT arrive. Hold the front, then move to cover in the back alley so they can’t come up behind Michael on the stairs.
- Switch to Trevor to snipe the three SWAT officers on the nearby roof, then keep rotating between the crew.
- When Trevor warns of a helicopter, take it down as him.
- Once Michael gives the signal, Franklin drives the garbage truck to the getaway car. Park it away from the car and blow it up with a sticky bomb.
- Drive off in the getaway car. The game switches to Michael, who drives to the final marker.
Gold medal tips
- Switching is easy to forget. Fire a few shots, switch, fire again, and the count of ten builds quickly during the long fight.
- Save Trevor’s rockets for the helicopter when it shows up. That objective must be done as Trevor.
- Aim for heads from cover. It helps both the headshot count and the accuracy figure.
