How to unlock the Stick Up Kid achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide
There are 20 stores around San Andreas and all of them are marked on your map by the icon. You will learn how to hold up a store as part of the tutorial. You must enter the store and aim a weapon at the shopkeeper to intimidate him and make him empty the cash register, which he will do more quickly if you shout down the headset or fire your weapon into the wall behind him. Once the meter fills up, he will throw a bag of money over the counter and you can leave. What the tutorial doesn't tell you is that if you shoot the cashier in the head immediately, you can go around to the register and empty it yourself with . You only earn around 1/3 of the cash, but this is useful if you need a quick getaway or you are just looking to complete this trophy as quickly as possible. You incur no extra Wanted Level penalty from killing him.
As soon as you aim your weapon, you will will have a Wanted Level which starts at 2-stars and increases with the number of consecutive stores you hold up. You do not have to evade the Wanted Level for the store to count as "held up", so even if you die it will count as long as you picked up the bag of money. You can also swap to Single Player quickly via the character-selection wheel then start a new Solo Session to erase your Wanted level completely or you can hold up a store wearing a mask and remove it out of sight of the cops to instantly lose a star.
The stores you have successfully held up will have a green tick next to the map icon () and to check which stores out of the 20 you have left to hold up, access the map with then scroll down to "Store" with and through them with or . You can do this over multiple sessions as once a shop has been robbed, the progress will be saved permanently for the character you are playing with.
Shortly after finishing your first official job for Lamar, he will give you a call and fill you in on your next Job in which you will have to hold up a convenient store for some cash. After the phone call, pull up your cellphone and click "Jobs List." Activate the sole Job available and follow the waypoint to the nearby gas station. Once you are there, head inside and hold up the store by pointing your gun at the cashier. As he is filling up a bag with money, you can shoot at the wall behind him to make him move faster. After he hands over the bag, exit the store and try to lose your Wanted Level so that the mission is registered as complete.
Now open up your world map and scroll down the map legend with the D-pad until you get to the store icon. Here, you can filter through each of the 20 stores around San Andreas and set waypoints to their location. Take note that you can rob multiple stores in one go, even when the police are chasing you.
For the quickest method in obtaining this achievement, try to hit as many stores possible before the police manage to kill you. Also, instead of waiting for the cashier to fill the bag with money, punch him or shoot him right away and press when behind the register to empty out the cash yourself.
Sometimes, you may notice the store you just robbed disappears from your world map when heading to the next one. Don't worry about this; it still counts towards this achievement so long as you collected the money inside the register. The reason it disappears is because the shop "closes down" after being robbed. If for whatever reason you lose track of your progress while working on this, you can tell which store has been successfully robbed by the indication of a small green check mark next to their icon on the world map. Once all 20 stores in San Andreas have been robbed, this achievement will be yours.
