GTA Online Heists: Full List & Guide

GTA Online Heists Modes: Full List & Guide

Here you find a complete guide to all the Heist Modes available in GTA Online, including the 5 original Heists, and all the ones released in subsequent Title Updates, such as The Doomsday Heist, The Diamond Casino Heist, and The Cayo Perico Heist.

Heists are massive cooperative experiences for GTA Online, where 2 to 4 players team up to pull off a string of intense multi-part heists, raids, and robberies. These involve numerous setup missions featuring unique gameplay, vehicles, weapons, and scenarios to test a team’s full set of skills - culminating in a high-profit finale.

Choose your roles and strategize to complete each stage of a Heist, with tight communication and coordination being the key to success.  Some missions will require the team to work as a single unit, while others will break the team into separate roles to complete key objectives. Replay each Heist to experience a different perspective on the action, and complete Elite Challenges for extra cash.

Starting a Heist

  • The original Heists unlock at Rank 12 for players owning a high-end Apartment. They are started by a call from Lester and a visit to his garment factory.
  • The Doomsday Heist, The Diamond Casino Heist, and The Cayo Perico Heist require owning a Facility, Arcade Property, and Kosatka Submarine - respectively.
  • When a player begins a Heist, they become the Heist Leader and can choose to invite other players from the lobby, their friends list, or players from the previous Heist.
  • The Heist Leader pays an up-front cost to finance the job, and dictates how the final profits will be split among the players.
  • Heists are available for replay after completing each full strand as Heist Leader. There is a short delay before you can replay the same Heist again as Leader.

Setup Missions

  • Members earn money for completing each Setup Mission.
  • Heist Leaders do not earn any money for completing a setup mission, though they do earn 10% more RP than other members. Leaders can assign themselves a larger portion of the take once the entire Heist is complete.
  • Successfully completing a setup mission drops players back into Freemode. The Heist Leader can then use their phone to return to the Heist planning board and start the next job in the strand.
  • All newer Heists (excluding the original 5) also include Prep Jobs, missions that take place during Freemode sessions and are required to unlock Setup missions.

The Diamond Casino Heist is an all-new approach to Heist architecture and execution: one huge gameplay-packed operation as you work with the Cheng family to infiltrate the most secure building in all of Los Santos - featuring a diverse range of opportunities for set-up and prep missions that shape your plan of attack, multiple paths of approach, constantly changing security measures and a dizzying array of choices once inside.

Three possible approaches can be selected for the Heist: Silent & Sneaky, Aggressive, and The Big Con.

Expect outcomes for you and your crew to change on the fly as you deal with each new situation, leading to more choices mid-mission. Even if the best laid plans go sideways, you’ll have the opportunity to keep the mission afloat without failing by shooting your way out with your remaining team lives, all allowing the Heist to be highly replayable with new scenarios unfolding each time.
