The Paleto Score
Michael, Franklin, and Trevor rob the Blaine County Savings Bank in Paleto Bay with a hired gunman, ending in a town-wide shootout and countryside escape.
Overview
The Paleto Score is a rural bank heist planned by Lester to raise funds while the crew is hiding in Blaine County. Players select a gunman on the planning board, with options including Packie McReary and Chef, each affecting combat support during the robbery. The crew uses a stolen fire truck as cover to reach the bank, then fights police and military response through Paleto's main street before fleeing into the countryside. The mission is notable for its small-town setting and heavy end-mission combat.
