Why You Should Never Walk Into a Bank With a Slung Rifle First
Walking down a crowded Vice City sidewalk or entering a store with a Tier 2 Carbine Rifle visibly slung across your chest immediately alarms civilians—triggering witness phone calls before you even reach the counter. Always case the interior with a concealed Tier 1 pistol first, or park your Declasse Tulip right outside the rear alley so you can grab your long-gun from the trunk at the exact moment the heist begins.
