Primary Target payouts

The Kortz Center Heist pays more for the first Primary Target you sell after the weekly reset. Once that boosted sale has been used, every later sale that week uses the lower buyer-fatigue payout and costs the host GTA$100,000 to plan.

La Dernière Débauche is the mandatory story target and must be sold. It pays GTA$1,925,000 as the first sale of the week or GTA$481,250 on a later sale. Consumato paid GTA$308,000 on Normal difficulty during our later run that week.

The weekly boost applies to the first painting sold, not the first time you encounter each painting.

How the weekly payout works

The weekly boost is attached to your first Primary Target sale after the reset. It is not a separate first-time bonus for every painting.

In our playthrough, La Dernière Débauche was sold first and used that week's boosted payout. Consumato appeared afterward, so its GTA$308,000 Normal-difficulty payout is the later-sale amount. We have not yet confirmed Consumato's boosted first-sale value.

Our Normal-difficulty solo run earned GTA$651,000 from the painting, secondary loot and three additional payments.

The completed solo run showing a GTA$651,000 final take.

This run took place after La Dernière Débauche had already used the weekly boost, so Consumato's GTA$308,000 was the regular later-sale payout. The result screen also showed GTA$238,000 in Secondary Targets, GTA$50,000 for the Buyer’s Request, GTA$5,000 as a Getaway Vehicle Payment and GTA$50,000 for the Elite Challenge. Together, those amounts make the GTA$651,000 final take shown above.

Bonuses that can raise your take

The Buyer’s Request and Elite Challenge added GTA$100,000 to our Consumato run. Go after both when the scoped layout makes them possible, but remember that a requested item inside Crisp Gallery prevents a solo player from completing the full list.

Secondary Targets and solo limits

Scope the full Kortz Center to see the available Secondary Targets, but calculate your take from what your crew can carry rather than the total value revealed. A complete scope can reveal roughly GTA$2,300,000 to GTA$2,677,500 in Secondary Targets, but one player cannot carry the entire pool.

Each player receives one loot bag, paintings consume about half a bag, and smaller jewelry and artifact pieces consume less space. Enter only the Secondary Target value you can carry when estimating a solo result.

Bring another player if a required item is inside Crisp Gallery on Exhibit Level 2 because that location requires two players to open. If a Buyer’s Request item spawns there on a solo setup, the GTA$50,000 Buyer’s Request bonus and Elite Challenge are unavailable on that layout.

You can finish that setup without those rewards or cancel through Raf and pay the GTA$100,000 repeat-run planning fee to reroll the layout.

Costs to include before calculating profit

Separate unlock purchases from the costs attached to an individual run so the result-screen take is not mistaken for long-term profit.

  • Hosting unlocks: Hosting requires a Mansion and its GTA$4,700,000 Art Studio. These are unlock costs rather than deductions charged on every run.
  • Advanced Avionics: This optional GTA$1,200,000 Art Studio upgrade is a one-time purchase. It was used for the recorded solo Elite route to avoid risking an automatic helicopter crash during the escape.
  • Planning fee: The first weekly run is free to plan, while later runs cost the host GTA$100,000 each.
  • Host net: Subtract that GTA$100,000 fee from the result-screen take when calculating the host’s earnings from a repeat run.

Sell or display the Primary Target

Sell La Dernière Débauche because the mandatory story Primary Target cannot be kept. After the story run, eligible rotating paintings can be sold or displayed in the Art Studio.

Choose Display only when you deliberately want to keep an eligible painting because displaying it produces no sale payout for that Primary Target. Choose Sell when the objective is to generate a Primary Target payout.

Kortz Center Heist payout decisions

Can a solo player carry every scoped Secondary Target?

No. A full scope can reveal roughly GTA$2,300,000 to GTA$2,677,500 in Secondary Targets, but each player has only one loot bag.

Is Advanced Avionics required to host the Kortz Center Heist?

Advanced Avionics is an optional GTA$1,200,000 one-time Art Studio upgrade. It was used for the recorded solo Elite route to reduce the risk of an automatic helicopter crash during the escape.

Does displaying a rotating painting provide a payout?

No. Displaying an eligible rotating painting keeps it in the Art Studio but produces no sale payout for that Primary Target.
