All the GTA 5 players would have known by now that heists are an important part of the game.

There are five single-player heists and these are planned by Lester Crest. Depending on the heist, the players get to choose the approach they want to undertake. No matter what the approach is, the objective of the heist remains more or less the same.

This is the first heist that two of the main protagonists, Michael De Santos and Franklin Clinton, have to undertake in GTA 5.

Here, Michael and Franklin go to the Vangelico Jewel Store and steal jewels worth $3,300,000.

The main objective is to follow your crew back to safety and take out the police cars chasing you. The players can opt for either the Smart approach or the Loud approach.

#2: The Merryweather Heist

Right after the Jewel Store Job heist comes the Merryweather heist.

Here the three main protagonists of GTA 5 - Michael De Santos, Trevor Philips and Franklin Clinton are parts of the heist. There are two approaches in this heist, namely, Freighter and Offshore.

If you have chosen the Offshore route, you need to steal a submarine and take it to retrieve a device underwater. The device can then be brought on the shore using a helicopter. In case of the Freighter approach, you need to find the device in the destroyed ship.

#3: The Paleto Score

There is a preparation mission called 'Military Hardware' where Michael and Franklin steal a military convoy in the Grand Senora Desert. The mission of this heist is to steal money from the bank and escape in a train.

In the process you need to kill chasing cops and take out the helicopter along with holding off the military. You are sure to lose money every time when any member of your crew is shot in the back.
