Architect's Plans: Difference between revisions

Franklin calls [[Michael De Santa]], telling him that he is following the [[Chip Peterson|architect]]. As Franklin enters the construction site, a worker hands him a hard hat. Franklin follows the architect up to a higher level. When no workers are around, Franklin knocks out the architect and takes his briefcase and leaves the construction site, returning to the [[Darnell Bros.]] garment factory. When Franklin arrives with the blueprints for the [[FIB Building]], he, Michael, and [[Lester Crest]] lay out their plans to raid the FIB Building.

If Michael chooses the fire crew option, Michael goes into the FIB Building posing as a janitor with the ID acquired while [[Cleaning Out the Bureau|casing the building]]. Michael mops up the floor and plants the bombs in strategic locations to ensure the building maintains integrity. Michael or Franklin will need to [[Fire Truck (mission)|steal]] a [[Fire Truck]] and acquire a [[Getaway Vehicle|getaway vehicle]] and park it discreetly near the FIB Building.

For the crew, Lester states that two gunmen are needed. Although Lester doesn't anticipate any resistance, since Michael is going in at night when the tower is sparsely occupied, he tells Michael that they are entering a [[wp:Skyscraper_fire|burning high-rise]].

 

If the player chooses [[Gustavo Mota]] and/or [[Packie McReary]], they will survive the heist; however, if Michael selects any low-level gunmen, they can potentially die depending on the crew load-out.

If Michael chooses the roof entry option, Lester states that Michael's FIB paymasters will have to supply a helicopter and pilot. The crew flies above the building, parachute in, and gain access through the roof. Lester warns that the crew needs to be well armed, as agents are likely to be in the building when they hack their mainframe.

 

For the crew, Lester states that a hacker, gunman, and getaway driver are needed. The hacker will remotely guide Michael in accessing the FIB's mainframe. The gunman assists Michael and Franklin in holding off any resistance while the network is being hacked. The driver will source a getaway vehicle for the crew to escape in.

If the player selects [[Paige Harris]], she will competently guide Michael through the hacking process and shut off the sprinklers. If [[Christian Feltz]] is chosen, he will also competently guide Michael through the hacking process; however, he will be unable to disable the sprinklers unless he previously participated in [[The Jewel Store Job]]. If [[Rickie Lukens]] is chosen, he will be unsure of how to hack the mainframe, forcing Michael, Franklin, and the gunman to fight off the FIB for a longer period of time, and he will be unable to disable the sprinklers; however, if he participated in the Jewel Store Job, then he will guide Michael and shut off the sprinklers.

If the player selects either Gustavo Mota or Packie McReary, they will have better weapons to engage the FIB and won't fire upon the police during the getaway. If the player selects a low-level gunman, then they will have weaker weapons and have the possibility of blowing the crew's cover during their getaway.

If the player selects either [[Eddie Toh]] or [[Taliana Martinez]], they will show up on time in an [[Ambulance]], allowing the crew to stealthily leave the scene if the gunman doesn't open fire. If [[Karim Denz]] is chosen, he will show up late in a slow van, forcing the crew to fight off the police and the FIB, forcing Michael or Franklin to evade a 4 star [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted level]]; however, if Karim was used in the Jewel Store Job, then he shows up on time in an Ambulance.
