GTA Online Criminal Careers Guide: All Career Builder Paths (Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner, Biker)

Anyone getting started in GTA Online on the latest generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) will have access to the Career Builder, which offers new players useful tools to help them rise from street-level hustler to criminal kingpin.

You can choose from one of four Criminal Careers - Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner, or Biker - each offering unique mission types and pathways to success. 

After selecting a criminal career path, you will receive GTA$4,000,000 to use toward acquiring start-up essentials like Properties, Vehicles, and Weapons. Once those selections have been made, you can bring a maximum of GTA$1,000,000 from the original budget to start with in GTA Online.

This guide breaks down all available Criminal Careers in GTA Online so you can understand what each path offers, how they differ, and which one best fits your playstyle. From fast money-making opportunities to long-term business growth, choosing the right career can give you a strong head start in Los Santos.

Note: The Career Builder and start-up GTA$4,000,000 can only be experienced once, and are only available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Enhanced) versions of GTA Online. If you decide to delete a character that has already chosen one of the criminal career paths, you will not be able to go through the Career Builder again on a new character.
