Getaway Vehicle is a heist setup in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description[]
The mission is encountered a maximum of three times. All the player must do is obtain a random appropriate vehicle, drive it to a particular location, then call Lester or Michael to confirm the vehicle's location. During the particular heist, the player will then use the getaway vehicle to escape.
The game will inform the player if a specific vehicle is suitable for the getaway, and whether the location chosen for stashing the vehicle is appropriate. Protagonists' default vehicles may not be used for this purpose. Generally, fast, 4-seater vehicles work.
While the game does not allow the vehicle to be stashed too close to the crime scene, keep in mind that wherever the vehicle is deposited the player will need to drive back to that location to obtain it. In the case of Blitz Play, which takes place in the southern part of the map, it's possible to park the vehicle in Vinewood Hills or beyond, leading to a lengthy drive. The game map provides no information as to what is an acceptable "zone" and what isn't although The Big Score's set up assigns a location for parking the vehicle and gameplay takes the characters to this location.
The third Getaway Vehicle mission strongly advises the vehicle be upgraded as much as possible before calling Lester and storing the vehicle, though this is not mandatory. The player will have backup and a five star wanted level. A fast heavy vehicle, preferably with high ground clearance and 4-wheel drive, with lots of modifications, such as armor, engine and brakes would be preferred. Bulletproof tires are necessary as there will be FIB Grangers chasing the player, and there will be NOOSE officers shooting at the player.
Although considered a mission, it cannot be failed, and the player receives no reward or medal for completion.
The vehicle is gone after the heist, but soon after it will re-spawn in the same parking lot, keeping all modifications.
