Smart or Loud? The Jewel Store Job best approach explained
There are two approaches for The Jewel Store Job - Smart and Loud.
The Smart approach is the best approach for this heist. You will take in more money because you will have less to deal with in the shop.
Here are both approaches in more detail to help you decide:
Choosing the Smart approach means Franklin will throw knockout gas in the ventilation system. With the patrons incapacitated, Michael and his crew can steal the jewelry without anyone getting hurt.
Choosing the Loud approach means that the team will enter the store from the front door. This has the potential to be more deadly than the Smart approach as Michael, and the team will need to crowd control to prevent anyone from tripping the alarm.
GTA 5 Jewel Store Job best crew explained
The best crew for this job is Karim Denz (Driver), Gustavo Mota (Gunman), and Rickie Lukens (Hacker):
Karim: Karim will secure motorcycles for the crew, which is a much better choice than a bicycle or a dirt bike. The motorcycle, coupled with Franklin's special ability, makes it very easy to get through the underground tunnels.
Gustavo: Gustavo is the best gunman you can recruit for this heist. If you choose Norm, be prepared for him to die during the getaway chase thereby losing that money if you don't pick it up. Gustavo will ensure that the full take makes it safely to the end of the heist.
Rickie: Rickie is the inexperienced one out of your two choices, but that's okay. He might not be able to give you additional time like Jackie, but one of the challenges for this heist is to take all the jewelry in 50 seconds. Which is the exact amount of time that Rickie gets you.
How to complete your getaway in The Jewel Store Job
Here are some getaway tips for The Jewel Store Job:
Keep a steady pace behind the crew when making your getaway. You don't have to go too fast and use Frankin's ability for those tight turns in the tunnels.
The motorcycles will be slowed by the mud, but that's okay. This will work towards your advantage, even though it might not seem like it.
Ultimately, as heists go, The Jewel Store Job is fairly straightforward - which makes sense since it's the first you'll come across.
Whichever route you choose - best of luck completing The Jewel Store Job in GTA 5!
Choosing the Smart approach means Franklin will throw knockout gas in the ventilation system. With the patrons incapacitated, Michael and his crew can steal the jewelry without anyone getting hurt. Choosing the Loud approach means that the team will enter the store from the front door.
For maximum cash, the best choice is the Smart approach with Karim Denz for the driver, Rickie Lukens for the hacker, and Packie McReary for the gunman, rewarding Michael with well over $1.2M. For efficiency, use Eddie Toh for the driver, Paige Harris as the hacker and Patrick McReary as the gunman.
On the first heist, the Jewel Store Job, choose Option B (Smart). Take Rickie Lukens as your hacker. Other hackers may give you more time, but he will give you the perfect amount of time for this heist. As for your gunman, you should unlock Packie McReary by completing his optional encounter.
For the largest possible take, choose the Smart approach and hire Karim Denz as the driver, Packie McReary as the gunman and Rickie Lukens as the hacker. This will net Michael $1,223,073 and Franklin $293,539.
The best approach for The Big Score in GTA 5. The Subtle approach for The Big Score might be the safest, but choose the Obvious approach if you want the biggest score.
For maximum cash, the best choice is the obvious approach, with Karim Denz and Taliana Martinez as the two drivers; and Daryl Johns and Norm Richards or Hugh Welsh as the two gunman, adding well over $41 million for each character (more if the player chooses the A ending).
Cayo loud is only feasible if you do all disruptions fully. Weapons and armor disruption are easy, but buzzards disruption is better done with a friend. You get one shot at each disruption per set-up, so make sure you don't fail.
