Mission 80 – Getaway Vehicle #3 full walkthrough
The example of a vehicle that can be used for the heist
The plan assumes obtaining some four-door car where, in accordance with the piece of information from Lester, this needs to be some larger vehicle so, I would recommend some SUV.
If you want to, you may purchase a better armor
It would be a good idea to make an additional, optional, stop at the Los Santos Customs garage to customize the car a bit. This is so, because you are going to use the car to escape a pretty demanding police pursuit. The list of the purchases recommended by me includes an Armor Upgrade – the most expensive one would be best, and Bulletproof Tires. Both of these upgrades are going to cost you a dozen or so thousand dollars and, although it is not mandatory, it will make things easier towards the end of the heist.
Regardless of whether you have decided to make the upgrades or not, you need to contact Lester. Select him from your contacts list and confirm your readiness to use the stolen car (Getaway vehicle ready – the above screenshot). You can now reach the marked underground parking lot. Leave the car and walk away from here.

What strategies can I use to avoid police detection during the getaway
To avoid police detection during a getaway in Grand Theft Auto V, consider these strategies:
-
Vehicle Choice and Upgrades: Select a vehicle with good speed and maneuverability. Upgrading armor and bulletproof tires can help withstand police damage during chases.
-
Route Planning: Use side streets and alleys to avoid main roads where police are more likely to patrol. Familiarize yourself with the map to find the best escape routes.
-
Speed Management: Maintain a moderate speed to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. High speeds can attract more police units.
-
Avoiding Roadblocks: Keep an eye out for roadblocks and be prepared to change direction quickly. Use narrow passages or jumps to bypass them if possible.
-
Disguise and Camouflage: While not applicable in GTA V, in real-world scenarios, changing appearance or using natural cover can help evade pursuers.
-
Utilizing Natural Obstacles: In GTA V, use natural obstacles like rivers or narrow tunnels to shake off police. However, be cautious of potential traps or additional police units waiting ahead.
-
Stay Alert and Adaptable: Be prepared to change your escape plan if the police close in. Use your radar to anticipate their movements and adjust your route accordingly.
-
Highway Use: Similar to tips from other racing games, using highways with flyovers can help you outmaneuver police if you have a fast car. However, be cautious of additional police units on highways.
By combining these strategies, you can increase your chances of a successful getaway in GTA V.
