Heists

If you happen to ask players on any GTA related community forum how to make money quick, 99% of replies will tell you to grind heists, specifically the Pacific Standard Job. The final of the five heists. Pac Stan as the community has dubbed it, has the biggest payout. The Pacific Standard Job once benefitted from the famous and popular Kuruma glitch, however unfortunately this was patched in late January, 2017. Nonetheless, the finale can still be completed with near-maximum payouts without the glitch, though it will be difficult with randoms due to a lack of communication.

Basically, after passing the checkpoint for the bikes, the scripting will cause police to not shoot at you unless you shoot at them first. Only the helicopers will take shots, but those are easy to avoid. Basically, you just need to get your best driver to grab a four-seater car of any kind, and drive the team to the dinghy without anyone firing at the police. This way you can also avoid damage, and therefore not lose cash from the final payout.

While heisting with randoms has become something of a dreaded activity, it is hardly as bad as most people say. In fact, a recent study shows that heists done with random players have an extremely high success rate. Even so, having to rely on any odd player does have its difficulties, which is why we compiled a comprehensive “how to heist with randoms ” guide some time ago.

Heists also include the option for the host to set the payout percentages for every participant. Since we’re all here to make money, you should make sure you’re not being screwed over. However, you should also check your expectations and avoid asking for more than you deserve. We’ve put together a rough guideline for how payouts should be distributed in each heist.

While heists are the most complex and lucrative jobs in GTA Online, even they can get boring after a long grinding streak. There are plenty of other options out there and we suggest you diversify – grinding will quickly lead to boredom.
