Find cover spots during shootouts
If you’re going for a large purse in completing each heists with mini-missions, only one life is available on the highest difficulty. It’s extremely hard to maintain health, which is why you need to pay attention to your environments to avoid a western shootout (see: the quick and the dead). This is crucial if you’re right in the middle of the desert of Blaine County with limited spaces to preserve health. Always look for spots to find during a shootout or hot pursuit, because those 10 seconds to regain health are necessary when trying to finish off that last shooter you’ve tried to kill many times previously around his or hers entourage.
