Is the Fleeca Job Solo in GTA Online? No – Here‘s Why It‘s Still Worth Playing
As an avid GTA Online gamer specializing in heists, one of the most common questions I see is: "Can you play the Fleeca Job heist solo?"
The short answer is no, the Fleeca Job requires two players. But it‘s still very much worth playing even if you usually prefer to lone wolf it!
In this guide from a fellow heisting fanatic, I‘ll analyze whether the Fleeca Job is solo-able, explain why having a partner is key, and share expert strategies to master this iconic first heist while maximizing your cash rewards!
Overview – GTA Online‘s Introductory Heist
The Fleeca Job kicks off the epic series of multiplayer Heists introduced in GTA Online. Teaming up with my brother, it was our exhilarating first taste of big league scores after grinding contact missions for our first weapons and armored rides.
You can access the Fleeca Job once you‘ve purchased a high-end apartment and are at least Rank 12. It serves as a tutorial for the more complex heists, teaching beginners the ropes while paying out decent money.
What Does The Fleeca Job Involve?
The event consists of just two short prep missions followed by the finale robbery:
Scope Out – Case Fleeca branch, gather intel, tag security cameras/vans.
Kuruma Getaway Car – Steal armored Kuruma for use in finale.
The Fleeca Job (Finale) – Rob Fleeca Bank, crack the vault, escape the cops.
With an experienced driver and hacker, each mission can be completed pretty smoothly within 5-10 minutes. So you‘ll be in and out with about $75k each in just 30 minutes – not bad for new players!
Why The Fleeca Job Requires Two Players
While solo heists were later introduced in the Cayo Perico update, the Fleeca Job was designed by Rockstar specifically for two players cooperating; here‘s why both are essential:
* The Driver: Waits outside in the getaway car, ready to pick up the hacker and race to safety. This role requires maneuvering at high speed through traffic while being pursued by police to safely deliver the score.
* The Hacker: Must breach the bank‘s security system via hacking minigames, drilling the vault, loading cash into duffel bags while the driver stands watch outside. Then race out for pickup before the cops swarm your location.
As seasoned Fleeca veterans know, smooth cooperation between driver and hacker is vital. The hacker needs to work efficiently while watching their back. The Getaway driver must remain vigilant for the hacker to emerge then floor it out of there while resisting the urge to celebrate pre-maturely!
Expert Tips for Mastering The Fleeca Job
Through extensive replay of this classic partner heist, my crew and I have identified some optimal strategies for smoothly pillaging those Fleeca coffers while avoiding rookie mistakes:
Use the Armored Karuma!
The armored Karuma you source during prep is essential for finale success. Its speed and resilience allows engaging cops while protecting you and your teammate during the intense chase.
As hacker, I request my driver pull up the instant I exit – no time to spare! We‘ve perfected this maneuver after hours of practice.
Memorize The Vault Hack Sequence
Rather than nervously trying to trace prompted fingerprints, memorize the input sequence so you‘re not frantically glancing back and forth. This shaves seconds off hacking time for a quick and clean breach!
Communication is Key!
Having mics allows the hacker to provide directions so the driver knows exactly where to swing for pickup. We also remind each other to avoid gunfire when possible – shooting slows you down. Just focus on the escape!
"I got the cash – GO GO GO!" is music to my ears as driver skidding around the corner!
How Much Does The Fleeca Job Pay?
Successfully looting those Fleeca lockboxes nets a maximum payout of $143,750 split between the two players ($71,875 each).
Subsequent replays cost ~10% of take, but first completion has no buy-in fee.
Even splitting 50/50, $70k for less than 30 minutes play is great money early on. It fast-tracked my savings towards that sweet Armored Kuruma to roll in style!
Here‘s a breakdown of possible Fleeca Job payouts:
| Difficulty | Total Take | Buy-in (1st run free) |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | $115,000 | $0 |
| Normal | $126,500 | $0 |
| Hard | $143,750 | $0 |
Long Term Benefits
Beyond the immediate cash payout, completing Fleeca unlocks access to the next tiers of heists with even Bigger scores!
These include the multi-stage Prison Break heist ($200k-$500k takes) and eventually the epic Casino Heist boasting hauls up to $3M+!
Fleeca also counts towards your Heists Awards progress for bonuses like:
- Armored Paragon R armored sports car
- Skull Smuggler‘s Top tattoo
- AK-47 Rifle for your Heist loadout
…and more!
So Fleeca serves as a springboard to master this exhilarating series of criminal team ups yielding epic rewards!
