Blitz Play is the third Heist mission in IGN's Grand Theft Auto 5 Walkthrough. This guide will highlight the main mission strategies and Gold Medal requirements needed to complete every main story mission. Check out more of IGN's GTA5 Walkthrough for info on Cheats, Easter Eggs, Strangers and Freaks and a lot more.

PART 1: THE SETUP

When the mission begins, drive the trash truck to the waypoint to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, park the garbage truck horizontally so that it blocks both lanes of the street.

Once the armored car makes it stop, fly out of the alley and broadside it with the tow truck to start the robbery.

PART 2: THE ROBBERY

Get out of the tow truck and plant a Sticky Bomb on the back doors and then step away and detonate it.

PART 3: DEFENDING THE FORT

Once that happens, police and SWAT will start arriving in droves. Start shooting them and aiming for their heads for headshots.

Shortly after a few cops are gunned down, more cops begin to swarm the alley behind Franklin. Move away from the front and get to cover in the back alley and start shooting at the incoming cops and SWAT. If you don't take these guys out, they will swarm behind Michael on the stairway and kill him, so keep an eye out!

PART 4: SNIPERS ON THE ROOF & A CHOPPER

After several more baddies are down, Franklin gives the heads up about snipers on the rooftops. Switch to Trevor and snipe down the THREE SWAT agents on the adjacent rooftop.

Once all three snipers are down, switch back to Franklin and Michael and continue gunning down agents and officers from the front and the back alleyway until Trevor gives the heads up on an incoming chopper.

PART 5: THE GETAWAY

With the chopper down, switch back between Michael and Franklin and continue to pick off any of the remaining officers and agents until Michael gives the green light to leave the area. Switch to Franklin and get into the trash truck and drive over to the getaway vehicle.

After you arrive at the getaway vehicle, park the trash truck a good distance away and then place a Sticky Bomb and detonate the truck. Drive away with the getaway vehicle and the game then switches to Michael. From there, drive up the hill to Devin Weston's house to complete the mission.
