The Big Score is GTA 5's climactic heist and its largest payout (tens of millions). You choose Subtle or Obvious.
Subtle: drill into the Union Depository vault and escape in two Gauntlet muscle cars, then swap into identical cars waiting in a tunnel to shake the police. Cleaner and typically the bigger net take.
Obvious: haul gold out in an armored Trashmaster against heavy military resistance and gunships — chaotic but thrilling.
Crew tips: unlock Taliana Martinez (a roadside random event) as a free, high-skill driver, and use skilled gunmen like Packie so no gold is dropped. And when the story gives you the final choice, pick Option C ('Deathwish') — all three protagonists survive and you settle the score with the antagonists.
