Prologue #1
3.1. Prologue
This first mission switches between Michael and Trevor. It has no gold medal goals, and you cannot be arrested in this mission.
- Inside the bank
- The hostages go into the room one at a time, starting with the person you point the gun at.
- If you shoot even one hostage, you fail.
- The moment you grab the cash, a guard grabs Michael, so switch to Trevor and aim for the head.
- If it is not a headshot, or if you hesitate, Michael dies.
- Escape shootout
- When you are told to take cover in front of the exit, take cover first so Brad can plant the bomb on the door.
- If you get too far ahead of the crew, a message tells you to get back, and if you ignore it and keep moving away, you have to try again.
- You do not have to kill the last two police blocking the getaway car yourself, and if you leave them the crew usually handles them.
- You cannot get in the car until every officer is down.
- Getaway driving
- Follow only the minimap route.
- If you turn back or leave the route, you fail, and if you get out of the car you fail 10 seconds later no matter the distance.
- Final stretch
- Whether Trevor fights the police or drops cover and runs, it leads into the same cutscene.
- On replay
- Cutscenes you could not skip on the first run can be skipped in Replay Mission.
- Ways to fail
- Getaway car destroyed, stuck in the snow, or abandoned
- Leave the route or the helicopter pickup
- Leave the crew behind
- Michael, Trevor, or Brad dies
- A hostage dies or escapes
- Out of ammo
