Smart or strong? Best Jewel Store Job 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 earn more money because you will have less to manage in the store.
Here are the two approaches in more detail to help you decide:
- Choose the Smart approach means Franklin will throw knockout gas into the ventilation system. With the incapacitated clients, Michael and his team can steal the jewelry without anyone being harmed.
- Choose the Loud approach means the team will enter the store through the front door. It has the potential to be deadlier than Michael’s clever approach, and the team will need to control the crowds to prevent anyone from raising the alarm.
GTA 5 Jewel Store’s Best Crew Job Explained
The best team for this job are Karim Denz (pilot), Gustavo Mota (shooter) and Rickie Lukens (hacker):
- Karim: Karim will secure the bikes for the crew, which is a much better choice than a bike or off-road motorcycle. The motorbike, combined with Franklin’s special ability, makes it very easy to cross underground tunnels.
- Gustave: Gustavo is the best shooter you can recruit for this heist. If you choose Norm, be prepared for him to die during the chase, losing that money if you don’t get it back. Gustavo will ensure that the complete take goes safely until the end of the breakage.
- Ricky: Rickie is the inexperienced of your two choices, but that’s okay. He might not be able to give you more time like Jackie, but one of the challenges of this heist is getting all the jewels in 50 seconds. This is the exact time Rickie is giving you.
