The Paleto Score is a heist mission in GTA V performed by all three protagonists. This is the fourth heist mission in the game. The Paleto Score has just one setup mission, Military Hardware. It is unlocked after completing Military Hardware and Predator.
At the start of this mission, Michael and Trevor are seen arguing at Trevor’s place at the Liquor Ace store in Sandy Shores along with Lester, Franklin and the gunman. They soon leave for the heist with Lester wishing them luck. The protagonists along with the gunman leave in a Burrito driving towards the Blaine County Savings Bank. On the way, Trevor asks everyone about their first scores.
Franklin is dropped off a little away from the bank to help with their getaway while Michael, Trevor and the gunman park the Burrito at the bank and enter. This sets off the alarm and the hostages are gathered while the cash is collected.
The trio leave the bank through the main entrance where a few police cruisers are waiting for them. Trevor can take out the cops and their vehicles with his minigun while Michael and the gunman assist him. They start their journey on foot and hold off the cops until Franklin comes to their rescue.
As they fight the law enforcement that even includes the Army now, Franklin drives a Dozer towards the group and takes them to safety by entering a factory. At this point the gunman is left behind or dead and responsible for his own life as the trio make their way through the factory taking down army men. They get through and get on to the train that passes next to the factory.
They soon get off when the train is halted later at night and come across agent Andreas Sanchez who had been waiting for their arrival. They hand over the cash to agent Sanchez and receive their cuts. Agent Sanchez leaves the scene after which Trevor and Franklin too leave together in a utility vehicle parked nearby. This is where the mission ends.

After this mission, Michael and Trevor try to set right their mistakes that they were arguing about earlier. They steal an ancient artifact from a train to compensate for their actions against Martin Madrazo and hope that he forgives them.
If the player chooses Packie to be a gunman on this heist, he will mention Niko, Derrick, Michael, and the events of Three Leaf Clover from Grand Theft Auto IV. He may also mention it again right before the first NOOSE team shows up.
The heist originally had another option where Franklin would rescue the crew in a tank.
During the motion capture recording for this mission, the actors were wearing weights attached to their motion capture suits to make it look like they were struggling under the weight of the suits.
During the drive to the bank, Trevor asks everyone what their first bank job was like. Michael reveals that his first job was at a bank on the outskirts of Carcer City in 1988, making him the first Grand Theft Auto protagonist to ever have been in or near Carcer City, as well as the first to mention it.
This mission can be seen in the first couple of seconds in the Official GTA V Trailer. In it, Michael, Franklin and Trevor are wearing their default outfits instead of their heist outfits and Lester along with the chosen gunmen aren't seen.
A. The best choice for the gunman in The Paleto Score would be Chef or Packie followed by Gustavo Mota.
A. The Paleto Score is the fourth heist mission in GTA V and is performed by all three protagonists.
A. $8,016,020 is the highest possible take in this heist. Packie should be picked as the gunman if he was also picked in the Jewel Store Job. Picking Chef is also a good option.
