The briefing
The March 10, 2015 update record covers GTA Online Heists Update - Title Update 1.21 Patch Notes (Online 1.23). It places the release in GTA V and GTA Online’s ongoing platform and content history.
Heist content separates the planning base, preparation sequence and final robbery. The property required to host a job is distinct from the vehicles and equipment that can make preparation easier.
Participant count, difficulty and the host’s payout allocation all affect the experience. An announcement of new content should be read alongside the individual mission requirements before assembling a group.
Named parts of the release include Grand Theft Auto Online Heists; Overview; Triggering a Heist; Setup Missions; Awards.
The reference tables retain the specific additions and values. Maintenance changes describe the build released at that time; later patches can revise behavior or supersede an earlier fix.
