100% Gold Requirements for Prologue
Completion	There are no Gold requirements for this mission

PART 1: THE ROBBERY

When the mission begins, walk into the back office and intimidate the employees by pointing your weapon at them (DO NOT SHOOT THEM!) to make them shuffle into the back room. Whilst you are doing that, Trevor sets the charges on the vault door. Once he is back, use your phone’s remote function to detonate the charges.

Follow Trevor into the vault and collect the cash on the ground and in the back right corner.

PART 2: THE THREAT-ASSESSMENT

As you exit the vault, a security guard gets a hold of Michael while pointing a gun to his head. From here, switch to Trevor by pressing and holding Down on the D-Pad and then use the Right Analog Stick to choose Trevor. Once the perspective changes, aim at the guard's head and execute him.

PART 3: THE ESCAPE

Follow the boys towards the exit and take cover behind some cargo, as Brad detonates the doors. From there, take cover at the edge of the garage door and pick off the cops running towards you in the distance.

When you get outside, check out the windows on the trucks to your left. You will see Smiley Faces imprinted in the snow.

Gradually advance from pillar to pillar, hugging cover. Cops will try to flank you on your left so watch out.

PART 4: THE GETAWAY

Then step forward, running and gunning at the same time, (by not aiming with LT and only holding down the RT) go down the hill and then reach the getaway car and hop in. Be gentle on the wheel, and stay in the right lane to avoid an unfortunate collision with oncoming police or traffic. Stay on the road and don’t attempt any cross-country shortcuts or the mission will end.
