A proportion of this front money goes towards paying crew members for taking part in the setup missions, although the Heist Leader does not receive any of this money and can profit only from successfully completing the main heist mission itself. Each heist must be unlocked in order and requires an increasing amount of front money to set up. Following this, the player has the option of setting up heists themselves, becoming a Heist Leader. For the purpose of the tutorial, Lester covers the front money cost and acts as Heist Leader.Īfter successfully completing the first heist, Lester will introduce a new character who will contact the player directly when a new heist is available. This will launch the tutorial heist The Fleeca Job.
The player must then meet with Lester at his garment factory. Once the player has reached the necessary level and purchased an appropriate apartment, Lester Crest will contact the player by text and follow up phone call introducing the heists concept.
Players must be rank 12 or above to set up a heist, and must own a high-end apartment with a heist planning room.
