Special Cargo is a series of Freemode Missions in GTA Online, associated to the Executive Offices and Special Cargo Warehouses property.
This job has been added to the game as part of the 1.34 Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update on June 7, 2016, and is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
This is a Solo or Co-Op mode that can be played by 1 to 4 players.
Procure special valuable cargo from the black market and resell it for big money. Highly illegal work, but highly productive.
Special Cargo Buy missions are dangerous, multi-part missions that call for a coordinated team of Associates to complete successfully. Buy missions range in scope and size, from police stings to high-speed pursuits, helicopter ambushes and more.
Special Cargo missions involve the CEO of an Organization procuring illicit goods, storing them at their warehouse, and then re-selling them for profit. Both components of the mission are completed in free-mode, with rival organizations and players being able to destroy the goods for RP and cash rewards.

Special Cargo: Products
At the player's office, by accessing the SecuroServ terminal, the player may choose to buy one, two, or three crates of goods, for the following prices. One player can only carry one crate of goods by hand, but sometimes the goods will be procured from vehicles, which can carry more than one crate.
- 1 crate -> $2,000
- 2 crates -> $8,000 ($4,000 per crate)
- 3 crates -> $18,000 ($6,000 per crate)
The most cost-efficient method may seem to be buying one crate at a time, but as the missions have a cooldown, completely filling up the player's warehouse will take a long time and therefore produce less money in the long run.
The category of goods that the player may steal are as follows, and they are chosen randomly when starting the mission. All of these goods have the same price when sold and procured.
- Animal Materials
- Art & Antiques
- Bullion
- Counterfeit Goods
- Electronic Goods
- Gemstones
- Jewelry
- Medical Supplies
- Narcotics
- Tobacco & Alcohol
- Weapons & Ammo
Special Goods
Occasionally, the SecuroServ assistant will call and tell the player about the presence of Special Goods on the market. These goods are more expensive to buy, but sell for 5 times their buying price.
Item | Category | Purchase Value | Sell Value |
---|---|---|---|
Film Reel | Counterfeit Goods | $19,000 | $95,000 |
Rare Hide | Animal Materials | $21,000 | $105,000 |
Golden Minigun | Weapons & Ammo | $23,000 | $115,000 |
Ornamental Egg | Art & Antiques | $25,000 | $125,000 |
Large Diamond | Gemstones | $27,000 | $135,000 |
