GTA 5: Packie is the gunman that gives you the most bang for the buck good skills, but isn’t the most expensive. Unless you use the cheap gunmen who tend to die on heists. He’ll save you a lot of money compared to Gus, the 14% gunman.
Mission 16
Driving from the garment factory in a Primo, Michael will drop Franklin off at the building site while the driver and gunman park the Bugstars van in front of the jeweler’s. Taking control of Franklin, the player must traverse the roofs from around the block, use the vantage point from the recon mission, and throw a can of tear gas into the air vent. The gas will be released into the shop, knocking everybody inside unconscious. Afterwards, Michael, the driver, and the gunman will enter and start ransacking the store while Franklin goes to get the bikes. The amount of time available before the alarm starts will depend on the picked hacker, but since the gold medal requires the player to steal the jewelry within fifty seconds, any of them will do (in the patched version; in the original console release Rickie Lukens could only hold the alarm off for thirty seconds, while it takes a minimum of 43 seconds in the Smart approach to clear all the jewel cases). A poor gunman (Norm Richards) will drop some of the jewelry, reducing the take to approximately $4.5 million.
Escape
Both approaches lead to the same escape. Once the robbery has been committed, Franklin escapes on a bike with the driver and gunman. The motorcycle depends on the driver, but won’t make much of a difference. Karim Denz, a poor driver, will send panicky and unhelpful radio traffic, rather than the calm and professional directions from pro Eddie Toh, but this really doesn’t affect anything either. Follow the crew, evading the cops, and drive into the tunnel to access the sewers. If a low-skilled gunman is chosen, then he, along with his bag of jewels, will crash and fall off his bike before entering the tunnel. If the player picks up the bag, the take will not change, but if not; a significant amount of the takings are lost. There is a casualty expense for the death of the gunman, regardless. If a high-skilled gunman is chosen, none of this happens.
Using the Los Santos sewer network to evade the police, the crew eventually ends up at the Los Santos River into a pack of awaiting police cars. In the meantime, Michael and the hacker went to get the delivery truck and use it to forcibly push the cops out of the way.
Once the police attention has been lost, the bikes are loaded onto the truck and are driven to Lester’s lockup where the crew splits up. The maximum take for the mission is $4,946,153 if the player smashes all twenty displays and chooses a good gunman (for either approach) or a good driver (for the Loud approach). $2,500,000 will then go to Martin Madrazo while the rest gets split between the crew members. Note that for this, his first Heist, Franklin receives a fixed percentage as a hired gunman/driver, rather than splitting the take equally with Michael.
After completing the mission, a Switch Scene with Franklin shows that Tanisha was none too thrilled with Franklin’s newfound wealth while he is relaxing at the Vanilla Unicorn. Franklin wanted to take her out on a date, which she refuses as Franklin told her he had to leave and that he hopes to see her soon.
