San Andreas Sightseer All GTA 5 Achievements In: GTA 5 Missions The Merryweather Heist Mission in GTA 5 Edit Improve this page The Merryweather Heist is a storyline mission in GTA 5 that includes all three protagonists. This heist is planned by Trevor after he learns that Floyd works at the docks. There are two approaches to the heist which have to be chosen by Trevor in the mission Scouting The Port. The two approaches are the Offshore approach and the Freighter approach. Both the approaches begin at Floyd’s apartment in Los Santos where Trevor explains, in brief, to Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton what they’ll be doing. After they leave the apartment, both approaches have different scenarios.

After that Trevor leaves with Franklin, he takes him to the vantage point on the bridge from where he can stealthily cover Michael with a Sniper. Michael is given a wet suit as he has to plant four charges on the Freighter ship and get away from the ship. Franklin takes out the guards after which Michael gets on to the ship and does his job of planting the charges. Franklin continues to provide Michael with cover fire taking out the guards who are after Michael, one by one. When Micahel is at a secure spot, Franklin sets off the charges using his phone. Once the cargo ship sinks into the water Michael has to dive into the water and locate the device for Trevor to arrive with the submersible stolen earlier in the preparation mission. Trevor drives the submarine to the location where Michael is waiting with the device underwater and picks it up. In the cutscene after the device is retrieved successfully, the submersible with the device attached to it is seen on a truck driven by Floyd where Michael and Franklin are surprised to see Lester who has just arrived at the scene. Lester explains to them how they have made a mistake by stealing a super weapon and that they’ll all now become targets on every wanted list. Trevor gets furious and refuses to return it but Michael convinces him and they let Lester return it. The Offshore Approach For this approach along with the Submersible preparation mission there is an additional setup mission “Cargobob” in which Trevor retrieves the Cargobob from the military base. There is a unique cutscene in Floyd’s apartment for this approach. After leaving Floyd’s apartment, all three protagonists drive to Sandy Shores airfield. Michael and Franklin are heard complaining about travelling such a long distance on the way. When they arrive at the airfield, Michael and Franklin enter the Cargobob with Michael flying. They are instructed by Trevor to attach the submersible to the cargobob and fly out to the Pacific Ocean, a little west to Paleto Cove, where the device to be retrieved is underwater. The submersible is dropped into the water with Trevor in it. Trevor has to then locate the device using the Trackify app on his phone and retrieve the device which automatically gets attached to the submersible. The Cargobob with Michael and Franklin lifts Trevor and the submersible and starts their journey back to Sandy Shores airfield when they are attacked by the Merryweather guards. Franklin has to take out the boats and helicopters with a machine gun in the Cargobob. They can be outrun or taken out. Once they’re back at Sandy Shores airfield, the trio find Lester there who has just arrived at the scene. He explains to them how they have made a mistake by stealing a super weapon and that they’ll all now become targets on every wanted list. Trevor gets furious and is convinced by Michael to return it.

During the ending scene of the freighter approach, Lester can be seen arriving at the pier in a Taxi in the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions of the game. In the enhanced version, however, the Taxi is nowhere to be seen. If the offshore method was chosen, after the mission ends, the Submersible will always spawn in a small courtyard by the side of the warehouse in the Sandy Shores Airfield permanently. The player will need a Cargobob to take the submarine back to water so it can be used This is the only heist in GTA V that doesn't have law enforcement involved in the heist.
