Grand Theft Auto is a truly massive game. Between GTA 5 and the constant updates from Rockstar for GTA Online; there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do.

Join me, then, in our continuing series, getting gold in every damn mission, in GTA 5, as we look at Casing the Jewel Store

…and don’t forget to hang about until the end, so you can catch our recommended method for the first heist and suggested crew.

Getting gold on this one is pretty straightforward; all we have to do is:

Know any neat mods we could use to do a bit more exploration in Lost Santos, or North Yankton? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

About the “Casing the Jewel Store” GTA 5 Heist Preparation Mission:

Before the duo drive into the Vangelico Jewelry Store, Michael encounters Lester at his garment factory. Once there, Lester instructs him to go in and use a pair of camera-glasses to take pictures of the displays, ventilation and alarm system.

The player must then drive around the block and go up to the roof through a restored building to explore the ventilation of the shop.

He’ll give directions and carry dirt bikes if chosen, making driving in the tunnels easier. He’ll try to get all the jewellery in the Quiet method. Cut 14 per cent.

If selected, when fleeing, he won’t provide directions and would have to pause inside the tunnels to get his bearings (only if Norm was selected and dropped off his bike), and the street bikes he provides will be performing poorly in the mud. He’ll even miss some of the jewellery in the Quiet approach. Split of 8 per cent.

He will not lose any diamonds in the Smart approach if selected, and will not crash his bike. He will therefore keep the customers competently in check if the Loud approach is taken, and if you want Karim as the driver, he won’t get all the jewels, leaving you with $4.5M. Cut 14 per cent.

When selected, during the heist, he loses a lot of diamonds, taking down the overall take in the Smart approach to around $4.5 M and in the Loud approach, one of the hostages attempts to escape, and Michael is forced to deal with them. He also crashes his bike before entering the tunnels for either strategy, losing his bag and adding injury expenses. 7% cut.

The player will have 90 seconds to grab the jewels if picked. Cut of 15 per cent.

The player will have 60 seconds to grab the jewels if picked. Split of 8 per cent.

If selected, the player will only have 50 seconds to catch all the jewels. Cut 4 per cent.

Hi in this video we’ll be going through how to get gold in the first prep
mission for the first heist in grand theft auto 5 casing the jewelry
store we’ll be taking some happy snaps and finding out a bit more about
Lester Hi and welcome back my name is Dan and
i’m an old grumpy gamer grand theft auto is a truly massive game
between gta 5 and the constant updates from rockstar for gta online
there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do
join me then in our continuing series getting gold in everyday mission in gta
5 as we look at casing the jewelry store
and don’t forget to hang about until the end so you can catch a recommended
method for the first heist and suggested true before we dive in if
you’re new to the channel we do how-to guides
news and giveaways so consider subscribing and ringing the bell to stay
up to date getting gold in this one’s pretty
straightforward all we have to do is capture all three security cameras in
the one picture and complete the mission in under eight
minutes we’ll storm that in so let’s dive in
we’ll start by skipping the cutscene jump in the car
and wait for lester to get in
then head off do a quick u-turn make sure we don’t
collect any pedestrians and head off to the jewelry store
all right as we’ll pull up or overshoot completely
we’ll be just around the corner from the store so once you
eventually hit the marker jump out and go for a run now again we’re on a
timeline here so this will go through pretty quickly
head around to the right towards the jewelry store and then you’ll be forced
into a slow security guard will get the door for you
and we want to head to the back corner spin around and take a photo using our
camera
over there hidden camera grab that angle so we can get all three security cameras
take the snap and then head to the counter
we’ll have a quick chat with the lovely young lady
and as soon as we can we’ll skip the cutscene
we shall now exit the building the security guard will grab that again for
us and as soon as you can start running
back to the car
we will jump in and there’ll be a bit of an exchange between leicester so we’ll
take off
hang it right then hang a right at the next intersection
and head towards the construction site at the next intersection so just in
front of the car the bread car there jump out again head
through the door and the other door eventually
upstairs jumping doesn’t make much of a difference here so don’t worry too much
about it through the door up the ladder and then
up the second ladder here
then we’ll do a quick u-turn out and to the left
onto the next building
over the reinforcement i assume or maybe the next building and then
up the stairs up the ladder again
around the vent onto the next building again
interesting way to get down but it works up up again and then up once more
then we want to take a photo of this big vent here
once that’s done jump down
a little more graceful this time up up again and then make your way back
to the construction site
this could have been done more efficiently if i’m honest
all right over that last wall around to the right
and then back through the door
jump down or fall down head down the ladder again
out the door down the stairs jumping does work this time
out out and into the car once you’re in there’ll be some more
exposition from leicester so it is important to have the sound up during
this mission and then head back to leicester’s
warehouse
so while we’re heading back and before we get to our recommendations for the
first heist i’d like to say a massive thank you to

okay so as we get close to the warehouse we can pull into the right
pull up to the front and that will automatically transition us
into the next part which is planning the heist
so thanks for watching to the end uh our recommendation from the heist is to
go in smart there’s less chance of collateral damage
the setups missions are pretty fun and pretty easy
and the take is the same as going in loud
our crew pick is eddie tow for the driver
he brings all the right gear and preps really well
norm richards for the gunman he’s not real flash but he does drop his money
at the end of the first chase and that means that we can pick up an extra seven
percent and ricky lukens who we met at life
invader he’s uh not much of a hacker in fact he’s utter
rubbish but he’s cheap and you’ll be out of there with time to
spare anyway so what are your thoughts do you have
any tips for other viewers or could this have been done differently
leave your comment down below check out the video on the left for the loud prep
mission where we grab the carbine rifles or the one on the right
for the smart prep mission where we snaffle a bug star van stay
safe wash your hands and we’ll see you in the next video
