Is the Fleeca heist pretty easy to do? Want to run it with a friend for cash but we're both pretty low level (15 and 8). I had a good head start with my 500k starter cash, but he started from scratch and only has the micro SMG. Once I start the heist, we can keep trying/running it until completion, right?

I'm looking to either host or join the 4th heist on PS4 in about an hour (3:00 central). I really just want to get the unlocks so if I host you'll get a nice cut.

So this happened after returning to free mode from a heist setup mission:

Finally managed to beat the cop setup by being on the cop team and losing my wanted level in the subway tunnel. Not sure why the pubbie on team cops felt the need to call me an idiot and a bad driver, though. I guess I should have stayed on the gas and crashed into everything like other people usually do. That would have made everything better (as in we woukd have waited for team car to deliver the vehicle even longer). :allears:

E: also thanks pentler and illigan for the airplane setup, sorry I suicided the plane first try - somehow managed to hit the bail button :argh:

It's the only way to ensure maximum pubbie annoyance. Especially now that the armored Kuruma gets blown up so easily, which makes them think they've got you vulnerable with no car, but nope, you've got it back in about 8 seconds.

that mission is notoriously laggy for some reason, half the time it pisses away like 10-20 seconds before loading the next checkpoint when I'm playing it after we get the garbage and kill the bangers

I just had the worst loving Fleeca bank ever my first time hosting.
First 2 setups go well, new guy dies once on stealing the car but no big deal. Then after that I invite him to the final heist and he declines. So I go looking for a new guy and I get some similar low level guy like myself. Things start to go bad right away when he takes forever to get to the factory to get into the armored car after locking me out of his personal car. We get there and I start drilling and it was my first time ever drilling so it took a minute for me to get used to it. I get the box open and we are escaping, and he totally overshoots Eddie Toh and can't get under him. This was our first failure. Next time I'm better at drilling, I just about have the box open and he kills a hostage. Next time I barely get started and he kills a hostage. Next time I get done pretty quick, he misses the cargobob again. 5th loving time I do the drilling in like 20-30 seconds and we escape and he finally manages to get under the magnet with barely any road left. I should have taken more than 60%.

Good lord the Armored Kuruma is magical. I have leveled from prey to predator as far as Freeroam goes. Its also highly satisfying going up against gun insurgents and having them pay 6k for your car every time it blows up. A pubbie killed me 4 times before not firing anymore because of the rising 24k insurance costs.

Googled it, that's not one of the apartments with a Heist room, so you'll need to upgrade :(

Edit: Looks like the cheapest high-end apartment is Del Perro Heights #7 for $200k.

No bueno, it has to have a heist room. The cheapest of which are the alta street apartments if memory serves.

The early combat missions have been pretty easy to solo with snacks and patience, but I'm starting to get the complicated stuff like kill four guys in a row in different places, where the third guy has about twenty extremely aggressive buddies.

Soloing missions gets easier as you familiarize yourself with the enemy spawn- and reinforcement patterns, but enemies still have sniper accuracy with machine guns from three miles away (or with shotguns blind-firing from cover), exactly know where you are for the rest of the mission, and you're still made out of paper. Most missions are still manageable even though they easily get you killed (eg. "blow up Lazers in the military base, PS there are a million guys with body armor and machine guns that take off your armor on two hits from all directions coming at you"). And a handful which are nearly impossible because you're meant to open a safe while enemies spawn two doors over, endlessly.

That said a Buzzard makes a lot of the higher level missions easy to solo again. Just don't blow up the wrong things...
