Player notes

After the crew chooses the Subtle approach for The Big Score, Lester Crest emails Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips. He needs three Bravado Gauntlets prepared as getaway cars and identifies examples around Los Santos. The three men can tackle the jobs in any order. Each takes a Gauntlet to Los Santos Customs, fits the modifications Lester requires for the heist, then leaves the finished vehicle at a lockup.

Michael heads to the top level of a multistorey car park in Pillbox Hill, where Lester's photographed Gauntlet is waiting. He takes the muscle car from the roof, drives it to Los Santos Customs and has it rebuilt for the job. With the required work completed, Michael delivers the Gauntlet to the lockup and leaves it there.

Trevor goes to Rockford Hills and finds another Gauntlet behind the Vangelico store, near Caca. He steals the car and brings it to Los Santos Customs for the heist modifications. Trevor then drives the modified Gauntlet to the lockup, parks it inside and leaves it for the crew.

Franklin collects the last Gauntlet from outside the Templar Hotel in Mission Row, southeast of Legion Square. The car is dirty and needs repairing before its conversion. Franklin takes it to Los Santos Customs, has the required equipment installed, and delivers the finished Gauntlet to the lockup. The three prepared getaway cars are now in place.

Trivia

  • โ—†Players should consider that upgrading the Gauntlets costs money, thereby reducing the profit available from completing the final heist. The obvious method also involves upgrading a vehicle, but only one.
  • โ—†If Franklin has already purchased the Los Santos Customs in the Harmony, he will receive free modifications on cars he brings in.
  • โ—†If the player has a garage, they can also choose to buy three Gauntlets from southernsanandreasuperautos.com at a price of $32,000 each. However, this will not earn the player a gold medal, since it requires stealing it from given locations.
