Setup: Submarine Recon is a heist setup featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Doomsday Heist update. It is part of the Act 2 of The Doomsday Heist.
Description[]
The crew is instructed by Lester to get into their Strombergs and start the recon mission on the Russian submarine, but before, they have another objective to do. The crew splits into two teams: the Paleto Bay team and the Paleto Cove team.
The first part for both teams is to move to North Chumash and take the sub's resupply convoy, consisting of four Brickade trucks, two Insurgent Pick-Up armed trucks and three Buzzard Attack Choppers.
Once the convoy is destroyed, the crew heads to Paleto Bay while avoiding enemies in Nightshark SUVs, but Lester informs he detected a network of sea mines around the vessel. Here, the team splits into two areas:
- Paleto Bay
The Paleto Bay team heads to the beach in Paleto Bay, gets in the ocean with their Strombergs and destroy ten mines with the torpedoes. Once all mines are destroyed, they are then instructed by Avon to scan the wreckage of a spy plane they lost the other day, so they can determine which weapon they used. A red scanning projection comes from the front end of the Strombergs to indicate it is scanning. The team scans three different points of the wreckage.
- Paleto Cove
The Paleto Bay team heads to the beach in Paleto Cove, gets in the ocean with their Strombergs and destroy ten mines with the torpedoes. Lester informs that he sent an acoustic signal to the submarine so they should not be detected on their screens. Once all mines are destroyed, they are then instructed by Lester to scan the submarine. Again, a red scanning projection comes from the front end of the Strombergs to indicate it is scanning. The team scans three different points of the submarine.
Once the scanning is done, Lester warns that the submarine is producing a counter signal, so the team has to leave the submarine as quick as possible.
- All
Once both teams gathered the necessary data, the crew gets on land and deliver the Strombergs to the drop-off point in the parking lot of the Paleto Bay Ammu-Nation to complete the mission.

Oversights[]
- The Strombergs parked in the drop-off location may get destroyed as if they were stuck, thus failing the mission. It is possible to avoid this glitch by constantly moving the car (i.e. cruising around the area) and deliver the cars at the same time with the rest of the group.
