Gauntlet
The crew steals three modified Bravado Gauntlets used as getaway vehicles for the Subtle Big Score approach.
Overview
Gauntlet is a Subtle-approach setup for The Big Score. Franklin recovers three upgraded Gauntlet muscle cars stored in separate locations. The vehicles are armored and tuned for the gold convoy escape after the Union Depository breach. Each car must reach the crew garage intact. Progress is tracked on Lester Crest's planning board at the garment factory hideout. The equipment or intelligence gathered here is referenced again during the finale briefing. Setup missions do not pay separate completion bonuses; earnings are bundled into the heist payout when the score succeeds. Players may complete preparations in any order allowed by approach selection, but the finale remains locked until all required icons for that path are marked ready on the planning screen.
Walkthrough
1. Travel to the first Gauntlet storage location. 2. Steal the first modified Gauntlet and drive it to the hideout. 3. Repeat for the second Gauntlet at its marked position. 4. Steal the third Gauntlet and deliver it to the crew garage. 5. Confirm all three vehicles are ready on the planning board.
Fail Conditions
The mission fails if Franklin dies or if any required Gauntlet is destroyed before being delivered to the stash.
