## Transcript

Today for the first time in 8 billion years, a new heist is coming to GTA Online I have no idea if any characters are coming back or what the heist is really about
I've done my best not to have super high expectations But I'm still pretty hyped let's go So maybe I'll go out and get a phone call, I guess
Tell me everything but first, have you seen Prix Luxury Real Estate is installing art studios in their properties?
He looking at me and say I'm not an art lover? Purchase the additional art studio room for any mansion to gain access 3.7 million!
And see if it costs additional You don't need to buy it for each mansion, okay [Haviland] Sir, you have guests waiting for you, in your new art studio
How did these guests get into my building? [Matt] It's the guy! [Matt] I do mind
I see some differences though
[Matt] Oh yes...
Oh he evil A fine talk
Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier
A whiteboard? Fancy! What this?
What else is in this room? Is he doing this right now? Oh, it's a dog looking at sausage dog Okay, so the Kortz Center looks similar Like, the maze is there and...
Like, this middle part here with the skylight Let’s get started Scope out the Kortz Center and locate the... la...
I had to face, a few things in French I regret it Okay, gotcha
Lester got his job taken That guy's junk is missing
How dare they remove them? Is this a reference to... I f*cked you
God, how can I f*ck... Team Fortress 2, there you go The two old guys, the red and blue Team Fortress 2 teams? That probably means something important
Haviland, translate look exactly the same What does this art mean?
really change from, like, 2013 Oh, can I take this guy out?
I can't... What? That's a rock
Hey look guys! Just like normal cougars they’re sh*t! I assume I can just run through this, because usually with these,
you need to be within their line of sight for a little bit If you ignore all the times I'm wrong, I'm right 100% of the time
It's moving! It's moving! Sneaky, sneaky
The pervy bastards so he can make another rogue AI They gonna do the AI thing again
Nah, they won't Sick
[Haviland] This is the security door that leads to the laser room So I'm gonna find my father and we're gonna dance through that? You uncultured swine
True
How would you know, Haviland? You don't have any pain receptors Okay, secondary loot Aha!
I am, after all, a Ninja Turtle Can't use this elevator Okay, so we find those particular secondary loot we get more money
What? Chat am I cooked? Okay, so you want me to take pictures of literally everything
I sincerely, sincerely doubt this will do something Oh! Well, how do I know which ones to take pictures of?
Oh, you have to scope the buyer’s requests specifically So we need Art Deco Circlets Should we just take pictures of these?
What? Thats wild, this is taking me a million years So you're telling me I looked at all these before and I should
Please tell me I don't have to do this every single time it'll drive me crazy Wow We can steal this gem too?
That's crazy! No one likes cougars I saw no alarm pad downstairs
What alarm? Oh, that is an alarm! I just pretend to suck at being a criminal so people don't suspect me
Okay, sewer Which is why I'm so good at finding the sewer
Oh, this thing? It is What's this? Oh!
What? Actually, I did know what a manhole key looks like But yeah, manhole key, you put it through the thing and you turn it
[Haviland] Please rest assured, I remain undetected in the Kortz Center's security systems Why is this guy not working? Stop looking at pornography
Vice City Use the planning board
Do I pick the target? [Raf] There's gotta be something missed last time, so let's do more reconnaissance [Reading chat] You scoped a secondary target, guard, liver value, $27,000
Alright Infiltration gear, staff keycard The career progress is going to require every option
This is definitely looking to be as big a heist as the Casino Heist
Greetings, friends! Okay, well, let's use another weapon, okay?
How did they know I was coming to kill them? It is terrible Wait a second, this is... this is... my garment factory
Am I just getting stuff for the heist? Oh, is there another box? There we go, okay
About time enemies had Terrorbytes Yoink Not that the Terrorbyte really helped them, mind you
Wait, can I buy a mask? From the immortal mask seller? This man hasn't aged a day in 13 years Are you saying there's not masks in missions?
Uh, there we go, okay Gonna stay exactly where I need to use? Look at my dodging skills!
Oh, geez, it's a tight squeeze Eh! it'll copy the card for me
Okay, leave the area I'm doing my best for you, game It would have just let me do it? Okay
The Veleno GT But I brought it here Where's my car?
This is why I refuse to have more than one mansion in real life chat Where, where just, where? This better be a really good car, okay
This is the new car? Okay Super upgrade, missile lock on Buy the thing
[Reading chat] How’s the heist? I’m currently being robbed of... Livery? No livery I don't normally get white cars, but I'm taking this one
[Reading chat] Ew, wheels? Yeah, I hate when cars have wheels too Yeah! I hope this thing is really fast
[Reading chat] Hey guys, look its Lester! Thanks man! He is involved in this heist Street layout
There's no way I should just do them all right now, right? No, no, we should just do the minimum and do the heist I should have picked the weapons
Mirror Park! Okay, let's see what this car can do This car doesn't seem that fast
What are you talking about? The mansion does all upgrades Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys! I just wanted to join in!
Break into the repair shop I did it guys, I broke in You think they'd have locks! This looks familiar!
I need to get in here Oh, rapid! “Drape?”
Steal the unmarked weapons I need to wipe the CCTV footage
Kids in chat just be like, “what? What? What is that?” How dare you guys shoot this vehicle? You know how much the vehicle costs?
Okay, here's the plan guys and we'll hope that I buy one Alright, home sweet home
So these are the other two Oh, Benefactor Laufer? Albany Merula? [Reading chat] Check Warstock? But no, are you trolling me again?
Scroll down to the bottom? Aw, goddammit chat There's nothing here! What do you guys want from me? Okay so, we could have gotten security, military,
but we took Street, which is probably the worst weapons because I'll do the rest later We get bikes
I got my eye on a stash in downtown The cocaine lockup
I think there are better ways than this to get bikes And besides, I'm way better at driving cars, so... This isn't the bike, just coincidentally on the side of the road there's a bike
That guy was ready, that guy surely was not That's why you shouldn't smoke cigarettes, guys someone shoots you in the face Hey, this looks like my cocaine lockup
Oh no, the cops are on their way
Weird little standoff there I thought I was gonna lockpick it Back in my day, you could get five stars for sneezing incorrectly
He shooting me through the window? Get outta here Wait, wait, wait, oh, there's a keypad? They looked angry
Oh, that's cool! Sky blue Yes
Oh! It's not going to work
Okay bush strats! Bush strats! He he he he
Can I? They'll never think here Alrighty
there's a requirement for an award or career progress that you get them all? We'll do it later if so I'm sure there is
[Reading chat] Go to Warstock? I'm not going to Warstock again! I'm not going there again So there's five requirements
I didn't even check what the other options were
That's why they call me a Technophile Hey, guys catch! I'm sorry, I'm bad- I'm a bad throw!
My hands just phase through in there, kinda, kinda Let's go home! [Reading chat] There are many kinds of ‘philes’? I am many kind of ‘philes’
Like I'm an audiophile, a cinemaphile, technophile I ain't no Minecraft YouTuber man It's the assassination mission
Okay, this is giving me MindsEye vibes [Reading chat] Why? Because the last mission I did in MindsEye involved me doing exactly this
Negative Please don't just be the last one You know what they say, it's always in the last place you look
Positive! 01-43-54 Blow up their generator and bring the whole service to a halt
Detonate, how do I detonate? This one! It's fine
The voice actor just threw it in because they want to keep getting employed That's so cool! Wait...
They all got less clothing Uh... Oh you can start preps without going back to the board?
Of course he does
I will say though guys, I'm skeptical that this is the final DLC "Yeah, Mr Faber, he works for a hidden organization” I don't think he's as memorable as, like a Pavel or a Lester or whatever,
It's almost like he thinks this is all f*cking stupid in a way, Like he recognizes the absurdity of a lot of what we're doing Wah!
That... It's always in the crotch or on the elbow
One of those two places [Chat TTS] Prediction Mr Faber will shoot you and Raf in the end, Raf dies You live on for revenge for next DLC, which is why they made Raf likable
how much he's got to live for, That's when we start getting worried about that “Noooo!”
One thing that leans into that is how subservient Raf is to Faber But I don't know about that Hmm, possible
[NPC] You can't be here, it's restricted Oh no, don't deal with it, I'm sorry
He doesn't like the look of me guys, it's rude So this is the math way
International Affairs Agency Oh! From previous...
I don't think it matters that they look the same Can I go back the way that I came?
Can I not just blow up this generator? Maybe this is the same door as we normally take?
You're telling me I just had to walk two steps forward? McGill Olsen, I knew it They'd be involved somehow
I'm going past the police station That's probably silly [NPC] You bleeding a*shole! We’ve done five of 20 preps
So every single prep I do, the painting gets that little bit better He still can't help but looking at those women
So I could do the optional stuff, but no! I kind of want to see what this is like the hardest it can possibly be We've loved, we've laughed, we've prepped, and it's all led to this
Guffy, Upscale Armor! Nah, high end crook We're going to be...
Let's do this! The first new heist in like five years I'm excited
With that being said, it seems like we're gonna get paid even less Better be nothing
What? Who said that? WHAT? Can I reset?
I didn't think there were guys out there because there was no one on the map Alright boss, we got everything we need to make a move Are you sure though?
I swear that's a Cargobob outside my window I'm scared chat Reduces the weapon and armor available in the Kortz Center security guards
Nice Oi What?
Okay... It's down there? The grace
I occasionally do stuff like that by luck sometimes They seem to have identified me as an a*sehole
It really seems like when people are in corridors like this, This is the arcade Please tell me this is not the same thing from...
This is the exact same screen from Dr Freidlander's office And this is a lot more blurry, though They have rob bank and kill everyone
Found it! He's hacking it with his mind
Okay my vehicle is stuck up there Why don't I have the ability to remotely drive my vehicle to me? What about if I summon a...
It also spawned up there, very good! Drive a car like some kind of peasant Man!
What's the closest one? This is definitely a give me my oppressor kind of moment right now The buzzard is my connection to 2013 gameplay
Long shot! I'm the best player that there's ever been
More optional, Guard Routes location of their security team Heist impact, shows the position of all the security guards at the Kortz center
That would have been useful That looks like every other unmarked cruiser I've ever seen in my life
No, I don't Ah! I didn't steal the radio!
No, just... Summon my oppressor for later I'm dying
Look at all these Khamelions Too far from a suitable road What do you mean?
What do you mean too far? You're kidding
I can't request my vehicle for one minute and five seconds You know, I'm thinking I want to get myself uhh... Two minutes for that as well
Uh, minute 33 fa-- [Coughs] Zero Uh, seven seconds before I can get my oppressor
Oh, there's bad guys up here There it is Bye!
I probably done enough optional ones now to just go ahead and do it but, Steal a grass cutter that can cut through reinforced It says glass! It says glass! It does not at all say grass
that are held in the reinforced glass display cases Why be difficult?
Let's do this [Chat TTS] Do you still drink Pepsi from grass bottles?
and the evil AI thing is very cliche at this point and is actually trying to help us Locate the grass cutter
Just like it was intentional the first time
Raf is not happy [Matt laughs] [NPC] Wow
Power drills!
Raf's a fan [NPC] My buddy’s been shot! Help! Are we the baddies?
I recognize this apartment from the, uh... F... is it... yeah, the FIB DLC? Of course, you have both of those in your bedroom
Spice up your love life with a nail gun May as well do them all
That's three letters [Reading chat] Tell him then, oh wait you can't talk Oh, a helicopter
I don't think this mission loaded in correctly [NPC] He got Menendez!
See his friend get shot in the face with a shotgun? Are you okay? [Reading chat] Didn't Menendez die in 2013?
Yeah but it's a different Menendez every time it's the Menendez clan Some Menendez should change jobs to avoid dying? Imagine not going into the military and dying, like everyone else in your family
Once the EMPs are armed, you're good to go charge around the museum and dispose off the van You got it
May as well steal a car while I'm here Been that way for millions of years
Ready for Everything! Yes! Getting those awards, which I only somewhat care about now Oops
It's heist time! I can't possibly fail now I won't let you down
Oh? Different people each time? Interesting
You cannot do that in singleplayer You can climb? Aha!
Down where I belong There were blueprints? I'm dying from the sh*t? Amazing It just be like Rockstar to test the alligators for GTA 6 in this mission
Okay, I smell now, which is definitely going to give away my location Hmm, I wonder if I can just kill people without consequences Ah, yes
Interesting Rockstar has added smell mechanics
It's good they yap because I did not know the guy could see me through there Okay, good The code was one
The lasers Then we find out this is like a very particular parkour kind of thing
The flies around me are gonna set off the lasers
Oh, I can- oh wow! I assume I don't instantly fail
I... Well, I guess I'm just going to lose a lot of money then
What? Oh! I have to memorize? So I best grab as much secondary loot as I can
Pry? Of course
I'm hammering it back in Arthur would not build a barn with this man
The secondary loot from the rest of the art exhibit How many paintings can I carry? I can only carry two paintings
It'll be interesting to see how many people is the best for making money I assume they usually need one person though
I've got to kill the witnesses it's funny They've seen too much, I have no choice!
Reminds me of the Casino Heist when the cops are pulling up They both said at the same time An officer's been shot!
for me to put the gun down Okay Into a pole, you know, wherever you want to go
That's how GTA Online ends Lose the cops, where's the bush? It's too powerful
I'm the cleanest person you'll ever meet So he can get involved in the Yayo on stripper's Toes? Yeah, because I'm so nice smelling
It’s Raf!
But I set off the alarms! Yeah, I switched the paintings but I assumed because I set off the alarms examine the painting and be like “this is fake”
So fancy! Thank you, machine Perfect
[Voice echoes] Oh! [Rae] Will the buyer send a review, or is that like, evidence? Yeah, so clearly there's going to be more than this
Unlock 15 platinum awards They're tying the awards into the career progress? No, they haven't
And $50 million This is not me personally getting it? So, okay, the awards matter
[Reading chat] There was a Faber call that I missed? I suppose we shall find out? I thought you guys were lying about it!
Oh, there is a Michael text! That's old man Michael! I can't call him?
I DELETED IT! NO! I mean, that text there, though, has to mean something, right? Thanks for watching, guys Thanks for hanging out
I hope you enjoyed the update, and we'll tune in for future update content Boop
