Crew tips

This request is also optional.
Getaway tips
This heist is straightforward and doesn’t require too much strategy to make your getaway.
If you take the Freighter approach, your skill with a sniper rifle will determine if you survive.
When you’re ready, Trevor must steal a cargobob so they can transport the Submersible to the ocean.
Using the Submersible, Trevor looks for the rig along the ocean floor and picks it up.
Michael then uses the cargobob to lift the Submersible with the unit attached to it.
Michael must continue flying while Franklin protects the cargobob by shooting at Merryweather helicopters and land vehicles.
If successful, Michael will fly the cargobob and the Submersible back to the airfield in Sandy Shores.
At the airfield, they are met by Lester and Floyd.
Lester tells them that they have to send the gadget back.
Trevor reluctantly agrees, and the crew earns no money from the heist.
This approach begins with Michael boards the freighter and places sticky bombs throughout the deck.
While Michael is setting the bombs, Franklin protects him from a high vantage point with a sniper rifle.
After Michael successfully plants all the sticky bombs, Franklin is attacked by Merryweather troops and a helicopter.
He must survive the onslaught before they can blow up the freighter.
Using the night vision view during the gunfight will help you to see all the gunmen.
Once the bombs are detonated, Michael dives into the ocean to locate the gadget.
Trevor then uses the Submersible to collect the equipment and take it to a safe spot along the shore.
As they exit their vehicles, they are met by Lester and Floyd.
Lester tells them that they have to send the unit back.
Trevor reluctantly agrees, and the crew earns no money from the heist.
Whichever route you choose - best of luck completing The Merryweather Heist in GTA 5!
