Planning Work missions are important missions required for The Gangbanger Robbery in GTA Online'sThe Chop Shop DLC. The Planning Work missions involve acquiring key assets like the Police Maverick and tactical gear, as well as an optional disruption mission to make the finale even easier.
You can start the planning work missions by accessing the computer at your Salvage Yard.
Planning Work 1: Police Maverick
In this mission, you need to steal a Police Maverick to sneak into the Mission Row Police Station. You can get a random location for this mission. But the concept is the same.
We got St Fiacre Hospital. But to find the location with the Police Maverick, you must go to the Weazel News Building first.
When you get to the Weazel News Building, you need to hack a signal box outside the building.
Hacking the signal box is the same as you've done during the Cayo Perico Heist and many others. You need to link the numbers on the left to the symbols on the right to get the target number at the top.
But linking the numbers to the symbol isn't random. There is actually an easy way to solve this. You're basically multiplying the numbers. Each symbol represents a multiple. Remember the following:
'φ' multiplies by 1
'≠' muliplies by 2
'x' multiplies by 10
2, 2 x φ = 2, and 3 x ≠ = 6. So, 2+2+6 = 10.
Once you've successfully hacked the signal box, you will get one of the locations where you can steal the Police Maverick from.
When you get to the hospital, you need to park slightly awake from the destination. For some reason, the cops easily detect you when you get close enough with a vehicle.
At the location, look for a white dot on your minimap. This is usually the access point you need to get to the rooftops.
Be careful of the security cams as well. Watch out for their cones of vision. Avoid them and continue going up. The pathway to the top is linear, so you don't have to worry about navigating too much. Just avoid the cops as you go up.
However, a much faster way would be to land on top of the rooftops next to the Maverick and steal it. But that is if you're landing on the rooftops directly.
If you try to reach the Maverick while already detected by the cops from the get-go, it will be very difficult as the cops are really aggressive. You will keep dying before you can reach the Maverick.
Keep making your way up to the Maverick while avoiding the cones of visions of the guards and the security cameras.
Whenever you're climbing ladders, keep an eye out on your minimap to keep track of the cones of vision of the security cameras.
Security camera right after you climb up the ladder.
Speaking specifically about St Fiacre Hsopital, stick to the right side of the rooftops and continue moving forward.
This is an easier route.
You will eventually reach a final set of ladders to your left with some cops and another security camera to your right.
Wait for the camera to look away, then climb the ladder on your left.
As soon as you get inside the Maverick, you will get a 3-star wanted level.
However, since you're already flying, it is easier to lose the cops.
Fly high into the air and avoid the cops until you've lost them.
After that, fly to the marked location and leave the area to complete this mission.
Planning Work 2: Tactical Gear
In this planning work, you must steal a riot van containing tactical gear. The riot van is in a lockup, surrounded by a lot of enemies.
The planning work can be started from the computer at the Salvage Yard.
First, take out all the enemies outside when you get to the location. If you have an Oppressor Mark II, you can quickly take them out using your homing missiles.
If you don't have it, your free CEO vehicle, Buzzard, can do the job.
If you have an Armored Kuruma, that can also keep you safe while you take the enemies out.
The location of the lockup is random, but the whole sequence and the mission are exactly the same.
When you enter the lockup, take the stairs to the lowest level and you will find more enemies guarding several riot vans. You need to check each one of them for tactical gear.
First, take care of the enemies inside and then check the riot vans by opening up the back.
If the riot van has tactical gear, it will have metallic securing. The one without the tactical gear will be empty with nothing in it.
Riot van with tactical gear.
Deliver the riot van to your Salvage Yard to complete the mission.
You will have enemies following you, but you can ignore them as the riot van is quite tanky and has good protection.
Planning Work 3: Disrupt Equipment (Optional)
This optional mission can help make the final robbery mission easier. It is a timed mission, so we recommend using either an Oppressor Mark II or a Buzzard.
You only get a total of 10 minutes for the complete mission.
Completing this mission will essentially decrease the number of police officers inside the police station during a robbery.
First, you need to make your way to the LSPD lockup and destroy the first set of equipment. When you get to the lockup, you will find some cops outside.
Take them out and head inside.
Take out the cops inside and use explosives (such as a sticky bomb, grenades, or an RPG) to destroy the LSPD equipment.
You will find three more cops inside the lockup.
Planting the sticky bomb on the LSPD equipment.
Once destroyed, you need to find the location of the rest of the equipment. You can do this by looking for a clipboard inside the lockup.
It is either a clipboard or a black folder, usually on one of the office desks or tables around the area.
After getting the list, you should still have around 7-8 minutes to get to the rest of the equipment. There are three more locations where you must destroy the LSPD equipment.
You can easily destroy them all if you have an Oppressor Mark II or a Buzzard.
