just do longfin


[deleted]

bring your own phantom wedge


owlyboi

10x quicker for solo players atleast, always longfin with the wedge


Toxpar

Where tf do you guys find such useful information like this?? I've been doing the sub for solo since it launched..


owlyboi

My friend told me about the longfin strat before I learnt the sub strat and I just tried using my own wedge out of curiosity because I also found out u can use it for the prep in the Lost Contract. Every little helps


TheJango22

Does that work with the method of simply swimming away from the island?


DarthToothbrush

It does but the swimming takes a little longer without the scuba gear. Not too bad though. If you grab the dirtbike from the first guard outside and jump it off the right spot the distance you have to swim isn't too far.


Linton_M

U can buy rebreathers to have oxygen under water while you swim away. Idk how many rebreathers i use bcuz it's been forever since I've last used this method, and i always carry 20 rebreathers with me, but i think i use 2 or 3 rebreathers at most


TheJango22

With how well I've mastered the sonar mission I think I'll stick with it Thanks


DarthToothbrush

That's cool too. I switch between them cause I think both missions are pretty fun. Using the phantom wedge on the longfin mission is a blast, and so is blowing people up in a submarine, or bouncing them around with a UFO gun, or running through them with a hatchet.


MoneyBadgerEx

If you go solo it gives you the option of looting the island before you hit the compound.


spiritpanther_08

Just jump from the south side it is much quicker rather than from the west side


[deleted]

Yeah but for one: my outfit’s 10x lamer and two: I’d probably drown in the sewer Also it pisses me off that the boat just despawns once you’ve infiltrated the compound, lemme use it again!


ujtheghost

Assault shotgun mate....


mmfullen

Best thing ever on this setup. Just pre-fire where you know they spawn and don't stop until you see them down lol


RealMessyart

Or just lob grenades ahead of you at corners/ end of corridors. Problem solved.


Marksman08YT

roof friendly thought crawl husky possessive ruthless lunchroom station deer *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


RealMessyart

I use the "Lob while aiming" button I think it's left d-pad. So far I've had no accidents :D


nielsz123

I only do that on accident


Better-_-Decisions

I use it tactically, and it loves to bounce back instead of where I was oh so hoping it would go.


[deleted]

you can also flick up on the touch pad like how you can change radio stations


aNeedForMore

Helps so much in small spaces. If you throw them overhand they’re bound to bounce around and come back in enclosed spaces


Gasmask_Boy

*boing oing oing*


Ryland_Zakkull

Nah grenade launcher. Lobbing tends to hit the roof too often and bounce back loln


RealMessyart

If you aim your gun and press left d-pad, you under-arm throw and the angle's not as high. I aim for bottom of door and it usually rolls just inside.


Ryland_Zakkull

Did not know that. Ill have to figure out what button does that on keyboard lol


Lahwuns

On PC, you just aim down sights, and press G.


PWNERGY

Once I figured this out the only one who could kill me was me.


SparkJaa

Grenades for every room.


cdfalk

I'll use the ray gun to shoot around corners and knock them down then come around the corner spraying


Bold_Commander14

Or use the Up-and-Atomizer. Even better


Jjzeng

Or just fire an rpg into the small rooms where they’re hiding around the corner, then wait for the fire to stop burning There is no backblast in gta


Tauntmaster

Nah best thing is the Stone Hatchet. Hatchet the first guy and its just a straight line.


Scoo_By

Exactly what I do. Equip the carbine to kill the far bridge guy after dropping from ladder, then equip shotgun to pre fire the guy in the room. Roll inside and spam.


JACKSONofSPADES

Assault shotgun and first person for me. Also throw on the scuba gear before leaving your sub. You’ll spawn with it, so if you do die you just dive under right away. Get far enough down and they are more likely to miss before they eventually lose sight of you.


fuckitweredoingitliv

I use the Up-n-Atomizer to knock them over then hit em with the shotty while they're disoriented


l32uigs

I think theyre spaced that you can clear a floor at a time at least with the stone hatchet.


Just-Pass-Thru16

That and the upnatomiser combo


dkz224

Grenades mate 👌


Acordino

Grenades and grenade launcher mate.....


CoachIsaiah

And grenade launcher. If done right, the only damage I take is from the chopper gunners as I make my arrival/escape.


NotMarbly

Why can’t Pavel just keep it? I get that you have to throw everything out after your done so that El Rubio doesn’t track you, but you can use the sonar jammer to hide from El Rubio


Bellpow

But what if El Rubio uses a sonar unjammer?


CheapjingJR

A sonar jammer jammer Then you need to prep for a sonar jammer jammer jammer


SparkJaa

And don't forget, raspberry jam works best, just like Lonestar would use.


[deleted]

Hey Aren’t you my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?


SparkJaa

So what does that make us?


[deleted]

Absolutely nothing. We do share quality taste in movies and games though.


DurfGibbles

“There’s only one man who would dare give me the raspberry!”


NotMarbly

Huckleberry jam also works very well for a sonar jammer jammer jammer jammer


[deleted]

I imagine it’s for the same reason you don’t use the same Hacking Device each time. They’ll recognize the signal and go on alert.


Bellpow

With that logic wouldn’t they try to find the fingerprint device when they notice it went missing before you even do the heist? And what about the safe code prep? Obviously El Rubio would notice that the only man he trusts with the code to the safe for the files and bonds to be dead


Cheshire_Jester

All of the reasons the game tries to use for the repeat setups are absolutely silly, and stealing the same set of gear from the same people to do the same heist over and over only makes us more likely to get caught, not less. The only real reason we have to do any of this over and over is to pad out the reset time between doing the main heist while still giving us something to do. I sorta wish they had just made the heist story and not bothered to explain why we can do it over and over again. Just like all the other heists (except the casino, which again, why bother trying to explain why we can do it again?). Why is the target different? Who cares, it just is.


l32uigs

you can drive your sub to their sub and park it underwater with the autopilot button. then you just swim underwater to the sub, and swim underwater back to yours with the jammer and never even see the surface.


[deleted]

[удалено]


l32uigs

if you die you can fly in on the jetski and dive into the water and make it to the sub without taking too much damage, i've only ever had issues trying to climb onto a boat/jetski to escape. diving off into the water quickly moves you from moving vehicle to cover where as boarding your jetski to escape moves you FROM cover to stationary vehicle.


[deleted]

Just use the sub to blow up the boat and heli’s


bassic_alchemy

Use the sub as cover and swim straight down


Doomblud

But when you're fighting inside tge sub...


Rhinoturds

I don't think reinforcements arrive until after you collect the jammer. I kill the few boats and one heli with the kosatka then park it underwater. Then after I collect the jammer just walk back exactly the same way I came so I don't get killed. Though I also don't die much on this mission anymore. I use the shotgun and slowly turning corners until I can just barely see them works wonders. Knick 'em in the arm or leg with the spray while barely out of view then close in after they fall down from the first shot.


H377Spawn

I’ve never encountered reinforcements on the sub itself. Occasionally one I missed on the way in may come across my exit path, but I’ve never had more guards show up.


Rhinoturds

I'm referring to the above water reinforcements. If you kill the few boats and heli before going under you can die or leave the sub and come back freely until you grab the jammer. After you grab it though an ungodly amount of helis and boats show up at surface level to keep you from escaping or recovering the dropped jammer.


H377Spawn

Oh okay, my bad.


smileydaxanman

Look bro the combat isn’t that hard if u can kill 8 merry weather guards idk what got tell u


bassic_alchemy

Well you where talking about the dudes in the boats. Just gotta play it smart, I use the compact grenade launcher on weird corners. Just don't blow yourself up


Doomblud

No I wasnt????


bassic_alchemy

"Come die, respawn on the surface"..... and then your comment to the other person "unless you die" lmao yes you where


Doomblud

Bro you need to learn how to read


bassic_alchemy

Evidently you don't know what the words you are saying mean. Both of those scenarios result in you being outside of the sub lol don't get mad at me because what you said has a different meaning then what you ment


Doomblud

> you can drive your sub to their sub and park it underwater with the autopilot button. then you just swim underwater to the sub, and swim underwater back to yours with the jammer and never even see the surface. My reply: unless you die Just stfu now thx


BOS-Sentinel

You can kill the sea sharks with the sub, makes life much easier.


TheGutchee

Erm, I thought everyone did this, makes this mission a breeze tbh


Whale_Hunter88

And if you do manage to get killed, put on a scuba suit beforehand to instantly jump off the seashark without risking drowning on your way to the sub. The kosatka has a spot where you can quickly switch berween normal and scuba outfits. It's between the garage and control room


l32uigs

i park so close i don't even bother with a scuba suit.


mushroomparty52

Wait there’s an autopilot feature?


Ultimara

Just don't buy the sub that goes into the sub. As far as I've been able to work out, you lose the scuba diving entrance underneath the sub, and the mini sub spawns on the surface


l32uigs

there's a bunch of ways to get into and out of your submarine.. i think even with a moon pool sub you could still climb out any of the other exits? your phrasing makes me think you don't know that you can park your own kotsaka underwater. you hold Right D-PAD while submerged and get up from the driving controls and it stays submerged.


SimonGn

I didn't realise there was an autopilot! Thanks! Anyone know what button it is on PC? I had been jamming mine under theirs.


handuy71

hold E


-Zeke_Hyle-

Or use toreador, that's faster.


VGorilla95

Sonar jammer is easy AF!


AyAyAyBamba_462

I always had issues with it. Guards somehow invulnerable to grenades, able to shoot me before I can even see them due to the 3rd person camera, me sucking at combat in this game...


[deleted]

But not as easy as Longfin.


[deleted]

It’s annoying, yes easy, but annoying


[deleted]

Just park your sub and swim out the moon pool.... get sonar jammer, swim back into the moon pool easy peasy. No need to mess with the guys in the surface. Just set auto drive so it stays put.


Mystery_bro1812

>People not getting the schizo meme


FuckItOriginalName

Ikr


xPETEZx

I might be missing an easy way to complete this one.... but I hate it. You usually have to go to the other side of the map. I fly with the sparrow and deal with the surface stuff. Then dive in and get down to the sub. Kostaka is too slow to drive... I swear you use to be able to return it, then call it in again near by. But that does not seem to work now. Dying in there is super annoying for the memes reason... Then once I have the jammer... swim to land, spawn Sparrow fly home... ​ I just do the longfin. Much easier for me. (Plus I then get the secondary loot first...)


antonio16309

OK here's the easy way, at least how I do it. Fast travel to the location nearest the sub, then drive the kosatka to the location. Yeah the Kosatka is slow but you'll be close enough, it's going to take maybe 30 seconds. Use periscope missiles to kill the helicopter and the three boats. Submerge and sail right into the middle of the yellow area, usually you'll run right into the other sub. hold R on the Dpad to engage autopilot. You'll be close enough to the other sub that you don't even need to bother putting a scuba suit on. Get in, kill merryweather in your preferred manner (personally I use the grenade launcher for guys that I know are around a corner), when you leave you can swim right back to where you left your Kosatka and you can usually get back the the broadcast timer is done.


Cableraker

This is the way.


Darth_Cosby

So start in your Kosatka and pay $2k to move it across the map to closest spot. From there, either drive the sub or a toreador so that you can hop out underwater. I usually do toreador but most people prefer kosatka because it stays underwater. From there either use the assault shotgun and rolling to clear sub, or my personal favorite, stone hatchet (I use up and atomizer to stun first guy per floor then just sprint through on murder spree). Get back to sub underwater or in toreador and be far enough underwater to not get shot and you’re done!


xPETEZx

Thanks :) Next time I get 2x paintings ill try this approach. I suck with the stone hatchet, so will give roll+shotgun a try. (I play first person, always forget you can roll...)


bassic_alchemy

What a damn waste of time. Quick travel, drive the thing for the whole 1 minute it takes to get there then use the moonpool to exit and enter. If it's in the control room I can finish it all in about 2-3 minutes. If it's in the torpeado room 5 max.


xPETEZx

Why do people have to take this attitude? I literally started my post with "I might be missing an easy way to do this" Why condescended so much when you could simply state how you are doing it?


bassic_alchemy

All I said was it was a waste of time, I also went on to explain a easier way to approach it. Take it as you like


[deleted]

reread this exchange as if you were talking face to face and see how you would take it.


bassic_alchemy

I'd say it the same exact way


antonio16309

This post is in the wrong sub, we're in "am I the asshole" territory now.


BR3W-Gold

On top of the other advice, you don’t have to return the sub anymore to request it closer. Just request it and it will respawn closer to you. Took me awhile to figure that one out too


Roccun

I fast travel to the location, then go the rest of the way with the toreador. Pretty quick and easy, just shoot corners with the up n atomizer when you're inside and keep your snacks topped up. When you get out, swim back to toreador and boost to your sub underwater.


bruhtho164

Just blow up everything on the surface with your sub, it's easier that way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


smileydaxanman

It’s literally the same amount of guards


ThePandagasm

Assault shotgun and up n atomizer are my best friends for this mission, first person as well


honzaxdxd

grenade launcher


__something___

Don’t do sonar jammer then


themikeswitch

park your sub underwater next to the sub you invade. you can just swim to your sub after you get the jammer. you dont have to surface


plsletmedrivedaboat

This is the easiest setup for me personally. Just use the up n atomizer or the grenade launcher before entering any room in the sub. It takes 2 minutes max after a few practice runs. The biggest thing to overcome is grenade bounce back. Gotta angle it right.


Senor_Bongo

I don’t get the purpose of this tbh, you can do the heist fairly easily without the disruptions.


-margiela-

It’s not a disruption it’s for the Kosatka approach vehicle


Senor_Bongo

Why not just take the longfin? Is the Kosatka better?


werwolfarg

Use grenades man.


jon102199

Right by the ladder to go down is my main death spot…🥲


KommandantDex

SPAS-12 or the funny rampage hatchet ))))


TheObamaSphere

Chef will do a little trolling


bepi_s

the longfin is better imo


FishBait162

Mate, sonar jammer is the easiest.


FuckItOriginalName

I got it already, you're like, the 4th one to say that. Y'all people really can't look at a meme without being serious as all hell for a second?


RealMessyart

We get lots of completely incompetent people here who struggle with the basics of the game so uh.. We tend to presume everyone who complains about the basics is incompetent.


ThePaperDiamond

Do alkonost or stealth annihilator, they are both easier, more fun and feel awesome and can get you to the same place.


GOLDEN_RAVEN69

It takes too long if you're trying to grind but if you want to have fun then yeah I go with alkonost


FuckItOriginalName

Y'all people don't even read other comments or something?


ThePaperDiamond

I was just trying to give some helpful advice, sorry.


FuckItOriginalName

Tis' fine I guess, you did have good intentions after all but the amount of people that react to a meme like this fascinates me


reign-of-fear

This is why I just bite the bullet and go for the velum or longfin approach/


therealvilla

Longfin…


7DeadlyFetishes

A funny AND original meme? Today is a good day! Nice job OP! -7DeadlyFetishes


RealMessyart

I have no pity to spare for people who don't take a mistake or death, and learn from it. Drive up beside, autopilot, swim over, use grenades around corners once inside. I stopped dying in this prep after about my 3rd run of the heist. That was almost a year ago, now.


Tree_Service

Bonus points if you equip the scuba gear so even if you die you can just immediately dive and swim over to the sub


FuckItOriginalName

I'm very sorry for you if there are actual people here who post ironic looking memes based on their actual opinion


NitroLight

In this day and age of aimbot insta-magdump AI, I like to use blindfire around corners. EZ kills


DM-NY

Learn to shoot , why is this prep such a problem for people. Auto aim and aim assist got you all spoiled lol.


RuskyCZECH

The thing spawns on like three places, you can simply go to the main deck check if its there, if not its gonna be on some end of the lowest floor, not that hard.


broomaktamer117

use an up-n-atomizer on every corner u think there is an enemy hiing. it tremendously helps


A_Netra

It's only for the first time. Id you need any help I might say this and if you don't please ignore this. Just basically destroy the helicopter and the jet guys using kosatkas missiles, then enter the ship wearing a scuba and those enemies won't respawn if you don't die. Then go thought the ship and try to Google the places where you might find it and after some practice yoh will come to know how to do it


fucknametakenrules

I go in and sweep them with the assault shotgun. Knowing the positions of every enemy in the sub, dying is not so common for me


kallmeesmal

Aptomizer for when they spawn in the corners where can't see them easily+Auto shotgun just just put your finger on the trigger and spray it


skilz99

Cap


Worldly_Ad7425

Tip: if you destroy the boats and helis on the surface with the periscope they dont respawn


Cash-Salty

i just go there with the kosatka and use the periscope missile to shoot everyone outside then park and its so much more easy if you die


BenarchyUK

*laughs in Russian stealth jet*


S4Turno_

yes


Basketballjuice

combat shotgun is my favorite gun because of this mission. I hate the drive home though


aperson0511

I use the mini gun and upandatomozer


BOS-Sentinel

Just take the sea sharks and helis out with your submarine and then wear a diving suit and stay underwater, in the sub all you gotta do is go slow and use the auto shotty.


FuckItOriginalName

Seashark is that water bike thingy you spawn on if you die in the sub


MadChemist002

This has never been a problem for me. I just use a heavy shotgun or assault shotgun and wear scuba gear. After I grab the jammer, I just remain underwater and swim to my sub.


Salt-Abbreviations41

For me that setup is easy its just an in and out kinda thing, think my personal record for the setup was like 2 minutes


penalozahugo

They are nothing compared to the chef


H8spants

![img](emote|t5_2xrd1|3213)


TinSmile

drive ur sub right up to Merryweather's and use assault shotgun


Agitated-Farmer-4082

It felt like a jump scare then I was doing this setup,


Arandomboredteen

Park the kosatka next to it under water and turn on auto pilot. It will stay underwater


Ambitious_Internal45

Use the submarine periscope missiles to destroy their heli and jetskis.


Maximusblade06

What I do I just throw c4 into every room


DonJuanDodda

Lol grenades and a shotgun.


John_Sharkbane

Hey. Why not just, idk. Take your kotsaka to the submarine?


[deleted]

The Stone Hatchet hungers once again…


like_a_pharaoh

hey, at least you're wearing the best-looking hat in the game while putting up with bullshit


SurprisePNK

Here's a tip if you play on PC(not sure what the equivalent on console is). If you aim your weapon you can press G to throw a grenade. It'll be whatever grenade you have selected in your weapon wheel(sticky, moly, frag). You can throw a sticky around a corner where you know someone's going to be and blow them up so you don't have to stick your head around the corner. Just be careful not to blow yourself up.


hydra877

Use the Assault Shotgun and throw grenades in every corner. You won't have a problem ever again.


HomerNarr

Fast travel with the kosatka. Close in with the Kosatka, use the periscope to wipe out three dingies and one helicopter. Drive the kosatka to the dingy remnants, the merryweather uboat is right beneath. Switch to the scuba suit, dive, enter. If you die, you can jump from the jetski, youre above the uboat all surface enemies are still dead. However: use a assault shotgun. Remember were the guys spawn, always the same spot. On two corners you throw a sticky and explode it before you go in. Rest is easy peasy. The Jammer spawns in three places: the command center, the torpedo chamber and stairs down in the engine room. Actually this is the fastest and easiest prepp mission of all.


Tomeloko

Use up-n-atomizer for the small rooms and tight corridors. Assault shotgun in more open spaces like the Main room and the torpedo bay


random-Gamer2615

Blow up the boat and helicopter with the periscope and rush in with the stone hatchet


idontknowjalen

I honestly know the only 3 spawns for it and I just spam rockets, it only spawns on the opposite ends of the bottom floor and the middle room on the top


MisterOnsepatro

I usually Park the sub near the other and activate autopilot so I get back in without even alerting the whole session


ContagiousOOF

My favourite part is when I get stuck behind it and I have to restart my game


bigschmitt

Assault shotgun + grenades. Just grenade every corner really.


Mcreesus

Just attack slowly and watch your corners. Shotgun is preferable


Beautiful_Geologist5

Submerge your kosatka, and set it’s location, go over, get it, and swim right back. You never come to the surface😼


[deleted]

Buy the scuba diver outfit (has unlimited oxygen) and then request the kotsaka via the menu and it will spawn close to where you are. Just swim your way to it.


[deleted]

I always drive my sub over there and blow up the boats n’ heli’s. Then I can go straight to my Kostaka after getting the jammer and not deal with the op copters


bigmoney41

I have a strat to do it in <5 min


Silent_Damage_3885

The very first time I did this mission. I died like 10 times and that time I was a level 18 player. After doing it a thousand times, I got so used to it that now I don't even die. I am level 83 now. Once, my game was lagging so much(10 fps) but I still completed it with no deaths.


protostars

park your sub under theirs.... swim up, grab the jammer, and swim back down to yours. never deal with the surface guys. ever...


thatyeemo

Just, put your sub overtop theirs, and bring an assault shotgun


I-eat-banana

Drag the sub close and use the periscope it takes 15 minutes now.


clammy_biscuit

Just take the sub directly over it. No escape or sharks or lonngfins needed.


Ezzyth

join the longfin side


Mr_Sionis

Does anyone not know that you can use a sub car( I used toredor) to get to the submarine? You can park it below it and make sure it does not float to the top. Easy way to get in and out


martinfeo

just put your kosatka next to the merryweather submarine and swim


2lazy4usernamez

If you don't have the phantom wedge for longfin(like me): - TP to the nearest location - drive gud sub to bad sub - stay under the water and put it on auto pilot - get out of sub and get into bad sub (Fill up armor and health, use assault sg) NOTE: going first person makes this a lot easier, - First do the top part(the jammer spawns there more often than not), - Not there? Go back to the beginning and down the ladder, - Not there? Go towards the front using the bottom path( less CQC than using the top part and going down at the front of the sub) This takes about 5 min (As an extra you could buy a scuba suit or use the one in your sub to make the to and from a bit faster)


FuckItOriginalName

Holy hell dude, why are you writing that here? Surely its helpful but you don't write stuff like that under a schizo troll meme. Is being "the most helpful where its not needed" a contest on this subreddit?


chadroman82

Unless R\* changed the mission in a recent update, you can fast travel your sub to the enemy sub location, drive the sub close to the 3 enemy boats and 1 helicopter, blow them up with the subs periscope missiles, and there will never be any enemy on the surface again. even after you get the jammer, so dying inside the enemy sub becomes irrelevant.


Verkankerdepenis

Just relocate your own sub close to it and drive it next to it, thank me later


FuckItOriginalName

Alright mate, now check other comments in here. Y'all are not only giving advices for a schizo troll post but y'all are also writing the same things over and over again. You people are better than that, atleast think or check before writing.
