Quick Answer
The Merryweather Heist is more of a systems mission than a money spike. Freighter leans into infiltration and shooting; Offshore tests flying, diving, and recovery. Pick based on which control set you handle better.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Freighter | Good for stealth and cover practice | Gunfight and exit need stability |
| Offshore | Better if comfortable flying and diving | Longer control chain |
| Setup | Complete required vehicle prep | Missing setup blocks progress |
| Execution | Switch characters as prompted | Do not tunnel one protagonist |
Key Checks
- Do not judge this heist only by profit.
- If flying feels bad, train first.
- Most failures come from vehicle control gaps.
