Planning Work missions are important missions required for The Gangbanger Robbery in GTA Online's The 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.
