Heists, a brand new 4-player cooperative experience for GTA Online, giving players the chance to team up to pull off a string of intense multi-part heists, raids and robberies. Online Heists span numerous missions featuring new gameplay, vehicles, weapons, and scenarios to test a team’s full set of skills. Choose your roles and strategize to complete each stage of a Heist, with tight communication and coordination the key to success and complete Elite Challenges for extra cash. Also try Adversary Modes, new Daily Objectives and other Freemode activities.

Grand Theft Auto Online Heists

Overview

  • Heists are a new type of gameplay experience inside GTA Online – massive, multi-layered, 4-player co-operative missions that encourage players to work together and make the most of their individual strengths, and a team’s level of communication and coordination can make or break each mission.
  • Heists unlock at Rank 12 for players with a high-end apartment. They are started by a call from Lester and a visit to his garment factory. Please note there is a short delay between each Heist, but Lester will be in touch when the next Heist is ready. You can replay Heist strands by calling Lester using the “Request Heist” option.

Triggering a Heist

  • Players who are Rank 12 or above and own a high-end apartment will receive a phone call from Lester.
  • When a player accepts Lester’s call and begins the 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. Players of any Rank who have already completed the GTA Online tutorial up to and including Gerald’s first LTS job can play Heists by accepting an invitation from a Heist Leader.
  • The Heist Leader has the responsibility of fronting the setup costs to acquire whatever equipment and additional NPC personnel needed to pull off the job – which amounts to a percentage of the final pay-out.

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.

Awards

Large cash and RP awards are earned for completing one-off and repeatable Heist Bonus Challenges. Challenge criteria are:

  • Completing each Heist Finale for the first time.
  • Completing all the Heists as a member.
  • Completing all 5 Heists in order.
  • Completing all the Heists back to back with the same team.
  • Completing all Heists on Hard difficulty, with the same team, in order, and without anyone dying.
  • On PS4 and Xbox One only: completing all Heists in first person view. Note: The Heist Leader must lock the game to first person in the lobby to unlock this.

Replaying a Heist

Heists are available for replay after completing each full strand as Heist Leader. Players can do this by calling Lester and requesting a Heist. There is a short delay before you can replay the same Heist again as Leader. Heists are available for players to join as crew members without delay as long as there is a Leader with an active lobby to join. The Heist replay board becomes available at your high end apartment once you have completed all 5 Heist finales as Leader or crew member (but you must also have reached Rank 12 and visited Lester to access it).

New Vehicles

  • New vehicles have been added to the in-game vehicle websites and are immediately available for purchase.
  • Some of the new vehicles will also unlock for purchase as players complete Heist missions.

NEW Weapons

A Flare Gun is given to the player straight after the update is installed, and is used during The Humane Labs Raid.

The Thermite Bomb also appears as special weapon used only in The Pacific Standard Job, which cannot be purchased.

ADVERSARY MODES

These brand new player vs. player modes bring a range of intense new competitive challenges to GTA Online. Adversary Modes will unlock as players progress through Heists. There are 16 new Adversary Mode missions spread across 3 new modes:

1. Siege Mentality

In Siege Mentality, one to three players are placed in a tower and are tasked to survive for 4 minutes. They can’t leave the tower but they have full use of all weapons. Attackers are tasked with taking out the tower players and have unlimited lives but only use sawn-off shotguns.

2. Hasta La Vista

Hasta La Vista is based on an action classic: The Runners are attempting to reach a checkpoint on bicycles whilst being chased by the Attackers in trucks. No weapons are included in this Adversary Mode; the Attackers in the trucks must rely solely on crushing the Runners. If one of the Runners reaches the checkpoint, they win. The Attackers must take out all of the Runners to win.

3. Come Out to Play

In Come Out to Play, a team of Runners attempt to survive a run on foot to an escape point while being pursued by Hunters riding bikes (or ATV’s). The Hunters must stay on their bikes and are limited to using sawn-off shotguns, but have infinite lives. The Runners only have one life each, but all their weapons to defend themselves with.
