Location
Ms. Baker's text or the Interaction Menu; a Casino Work freeroam job that begins wherever you are, here at night by a helicopter.

A well-funded crew is planning to rob the Diamond, and Ms. Baker wants it stopped before it starts. You take out one member, use his key card to enter a hideout and hack the laptop for the rest.

Before you start

Bring a helicopter or fast car; the hideout and the final targets are spread across the city.

Wear armor and carry a rifle or SMG for the crew inside the warehouse.

Carry a pistol or SMG with a suppressor for the first target if you want to stay quiet.

With friends, one of you can fly while the others scout for the remaining crew from the air.

Objectives

  1. Go to Legion Square.
  2. Take out the target and retrieve his key card.
  3. Pick up the key card.
  4. Go to the Bugstars Warehouse.
  5. Access the keypad.
  6. Take out the heist crew.
  7. Use the laptop to locate other crew members.
  8. Take out the remaining crew members.

Best Laid Plans walkthrough

Find the first member

Ms. Baker has one crew member under watch. Go to the marked location, which can be Legion Square, Mirror Park or the dog park in the Vinewood Hills. Here it is Legion Square, so land nearby and check the plaza for the target marker. Take him out, then pick up the key card he drops.

The hideout

With the key card you can open the hideout. This time it is the Bugstars Warehouse on the eastern docks. Fly or drive there, park outside and walk up to the roller door. Use the keypad beside it, which opens with the card. The door lifts and the crew inside is on alert.

Clear the warehouse

Open fire from the door frame and use the pillar for cover. The crew is spread among boxes, barrels and vans, so move in short pushes and take out the nearest threats first. Watch for fire near the vans. When the floor is clear, go to the laptop and hold the button to start the hack, which takes only a few seconds.

The rest of the crew

The laptop reveals the last four crew members on the map. Fly or drive to each marker, keeping to your vehicle until you see the target. They walk about, use their phones or drive around in vans, so be ready to give chase. Take out each one, then check the map for the next until the last crew member is gone.
