GTA Heist Payouts — Complete List

Heists stand out as the cash cows of GTA Online , offering lucrative paydays for players willing to take the risk. However, it's important to factor in the time investment required for each job. While some heists can be completed quickly, others demand hours of meticulous planning and execution for comparable payouts.

In this article, we detail all the missions for each of the four GTA Online heist series, what they payout and at what difficulty level. We've also linked to our guides on completing each heist as more detailed and nuanced payout information.

Original GTA Online Heists

The Pacific Standard series of heists were the first heists introduced in GTA Online. Each heist comprises a series of setup missions leading up to the grand finale, The Pacific Standard. While the time investment for completing the entire series is significant, its payouts do not really mesh up with the time investment required when compared to other heist options.

Below, you'll find a breakdown of the original heists, their setup costs, and the potential earnings across various difficulty levels (easy, normal, and hard).

Heists' Elite Challenges

In every OG heist finale, players can undertake a series of bonus objectives known as Elite Challenges. These challenges task players with either finishing the heist finale within a restricted timeframe or accomplishing specific tasks throughout the mission.

If players successfully complete all Elite Challenges within a single heist, they unlock an additional $100,000 bonus — except for The Fleeca Job, which offers a $50,000 bonus.

The following are the challenges

• The Fleeca Job
  • Complete in under 5:20
  • Vehicle damage under 6%
  • Nobody gets wasted
• The Prison Break
  • Rashkovsky damaging 1% or less
  • Extraction in under 4:40

The Doomsday Heist

The Doomsday Heist is a massive three-act heist introduced in GTA Online, focusing on saving San Andreas from a potential global catastrophe. It involves extensive preparation and setup missions, culminating in high-stakes finales. Each act of the heist operates independently, with its own set of prep missions and a grand finale.

The Doomsday Heist Payout

The payouts for The Doomsday Heist are among the highest in GTA Online, reflecting the complexity and length of the missions. The payouts are split among players, with the host typically receiving a larger cut. The listed payouts are the maximum potential earnings for each act on different difficulty levels, before crew cuts.

The Doomsday Heist Elite Challenges

Similar to other heists, The Doomsday Heist features Elite Challenges for each of its three finales. Successfully completing these challenges can grant a significant bonus. While the base setup cost for each act (Act I, II, and III) is $25,000, players can effectively recover this cost by completing the Elite Challenges.

Successfully completing all Elite Challenges across all three acts can net you an additional $50,000 bonus. The Elite Challenges for The Doomsday Heist are generally more demanding due to the nature of the missions.

• Act I: The Data Breaches
  • Complete in under 15:00 minutes
  • Take less than 10% vehicle damage
  • Nobody gets wasted
• Act II: The Bogdan Problem
  • Complete in under 15:00 minutes
  • Take less than 5% vehicle damage
  • Nobody gets wasted
• Act III: The Doomsday Scenario
  • Complete in under 30:00 minutes
  • 150 headshots
  • Nobody gets wasted

The Diamond Casino Heist

The Diamond Casino Heist, as the name suggests, lets you plan and pull off a daring casino heist.

Unlike other heists, players can select from three different approaches — Silent & Sneaky, Aggressive, or The Big Con — to pull off this heist. Your approach must be selected before the heist preps can be started, as the prep missions are dependent on what approach you select.

In the Diamond Casino Heist, your target isn't just one thing. You could end up with cash, artwork, gold, or even the rarest find of all: diamonds. These valuables are randomly assigned. Diamonds are available on limited occasions.

• Silent & Sneaky Approach: 20-25 mins

The Cayo Perico Heist

The Cayo Perico Heist is one of the best heists if you're looking to earn money as a solo player. With relatively quick prep missions, this heist offers solo players the opportunity to rake in millions with minimal effort.

The average completion time for the Cayo Perico heist is around 10-15 mins as a solo player.

The Cayo Perico Heist Payout

Throughout the Cayo Perico Heist, players aim to secure both primary and secondary targets. While the primary target may vary, with the exception of the initial playthrough where the Madrazo Files are fixed, subsequent attempts at the heist will offer different primary objectives.

Primary targets include items like the Sinsimito Tequila, Ruby Necklace, Bearer Bonds, Pink Diamond, and the elusive Panther Statue, available only during special occurrences.

Secondary targets, on the other hand, provide optional loot opportunities, including artwork, weed, cocaine, cash, and gold, giving players a way to maximize their payout. The amount of secondary loot you get depends on how much you can carry in your loot bag.
