If you've spent any real time in Los Santos, you'll know the game rewards chaos, but it punishes sloppy chaos. I keep a few habits locked in, and I picked most of 'em up the hard way while bouncing between setups, gunfights, and those "one more try" restarts.


Heists: build the rhythm before the payout
People always want the huge score first, but that's usually where crews start arguing and rage-quitting. Do it in order and you'll feel the difference. Start with Fleeca to get timing down with one teammate. Move to Prison Break once you can actually follow a callout without someone wandering off. Then hit Pacific Standard, where little ***akes snowball fast, and you finally learn how to move as a unit. After that, the Big Score style finale is way less scary because you've already been tested in every dumb way possible.



Approaches: pick what your crew can actually handle
Stealth sounds cool until somebody fires a "warning shot" and the whole place lights up. If you've got friends who can stay quiet and listen, Stealth or Silent & Sneaky usually keeps the take healthier because you're not bleeding money in gunfire. But if your group is more "vibes" than "discipline," don't force it. Go Aggressive or lean into the Big Con style play where the steps are clearer and you can brute-force problems. It's louder, sure, but it's also less fragile when someone panics.



Roles: stop pretending everyone can do everything
This is where most runs fall apart. Give the wheel to the person who actually knows the streets and doesn't clip every curb. Put your calm shooter on crowd control, not the player who reloads in the open like it's a hobby. And don't hand hacking to the one who "almost had it" last time. You want clean handoffs: driver gets you out, gunner keeps lanes safe, hacker opens doors fast. When roles fit, the whole heist feels lighter.



Story mode: use the switch like it's part of your kit
Single-player's different because your team is you, and the switch isn't just a gimmick. When bullets start eating the screen, jump to Michael and use that slowdown to place quick headshots instead of spraying and praying. When a chase gets messy, take Franklin and thread traffic with his driving focus, because one bad corner can turn a solid mission into a long, annoying reset. Play it that way and the city feels less random, and if you're the type who likes having options, you'll probably end up looking at GTA 5 Accounts buy as another route to keep the fun moving without the usual grind.
