Grand Theft Auto V

This trophy will be awarded once you complete the Heist Finale of Act I.

Act I involves 3 Prep Missions, 3 Setup Missions, and 1 Finale. You will be able to start Act I as a Heist Leader once you have purchased a Facility (see Getting Started for more on purchasing Facilities). Alternatively, you can play through the Act as a Heist Crew Member with a friend or with others through public matchmaking: you just need to complete the Finale to unlock the trophy.

Below are some tips for completing the Act.

Setup 1: Dead Courier
Team 1 is tasked with taking an Ambulance to a morgue and stealing some data from inside, while Team 2 is tasked with recovering a stolen helicopter and assisting Team 1 with escaping the morgue.

Once inside the morgue, don’t jump and make sure you have no weapons drawn as this will alert the police and they will begin shooting at you. Once you reach the top flight of stairs you will have to engage in combat. There is not much space to take cover so proceed with caution, taking out enemies as soon as you see them.

Once you have retrieved the data, exit the morgue and rendezvous with your helicopter pilot to deliver the helicopter to a drop-off and complete the mission.

Setup 2: Signal Intercepts
In this setup, you must hack 4 vans, 4 boats, and an airplane.

Use the Deluxo you are given to intercept the vehicles and begin hacking them by pressing :LEFT:. The vans you must hack have enemies in the back that can easily kill you, so try to stay to the side or ahead of the van.

An easy way to do this is to barge the van into a tree/lamppost, or have your team approach it head-on and drive into it to stop it from driving forwards.

An excellent way to survive when hacking the enemy vehicles is to make the most of the Snacks & Body Armour you have stored in your Inventory. After you have begun a hack, you can put away your phone with which will allow you to access the Inventory through the Interaction Menu. The hack will still continue, and you will be able to replenish your health/armour.

Setup 3: Server Farm
In the third setup, you are tasked with infiltrating a NOOSE Government Facility and hacking their servers.

Use stealth and follow the mission's prompts to enter the building through a back door. You can enter stealth mode by pressing once, which allows your character to walk without making noise. Then monitor the minimap to avoid enemies - pay particular attention to their fields of view, which are denoted by blue field of vision cones on the minimap.

Once inside, use stealth again to walk to and hack the 4 servers which are at the 4 corners of the room you enter. After you’re done hacking, make your way back to the entrance/exit in the centre of the room. Run back to the entrance using the sides of the room as you will encounter fewer NOOSE enemies this way. A good way to get back to the entrance/exit safely is to rendesvouz with your team before completing the last hack: this way you will be able to head back to the entrance/exit together, which will help greatly as the NOOSE will be alerted after the final hack and try to kill you.

After exiting the building, fight your way back to your helicopter and evade the police. You can easily evade the police by putting your helicopter in Stealth Mode once inside it.

Finale: The Data Breaches
This is quite a simple Finale focused mainly on combat. Head to the IAA Facility and work your way through the enemies, using cover throughout. Once you have taken out all enemies, head to the Orbital Cannon room and protect the facility from incoming enemies.

If you are struggling with any of the free mode Prep Missions, try joining a new session. The new session may have fewer players and allow you to deliver vehicles without other players interfering. Note you are permitted to skip Prep Missions by paying for them, you will still unlock the trophy, though this will reset any progress you have for the Criminal Mastermind Challenges (see Masterminds for more detail).

Act I overall is quite simple and shouldn't give you much trouble. Use the advice given in the Tips & Strategies section and you should be fine.
