Rockstar Games introduced the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid in Grand Theft Auto Online as a continuation of the Chop Shop update, where you team up with Vincent Effenburger, head of security at the Diamond Casino turned cop, to take down a drug operation. This raid is set of contact missions, including an intro mission, four setup missions, and a finale.
While it may not be much of a conventional heist, The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid is still lengthy and takes a fair bit of time to compete in the entire series. In this guide, we walk you through everything, including the intro mission, the setup missions, and the finale.
You can complete the finale in two ways: using either a silent or aggressive approach. To unlock silent approach though, you must do a specific step during one of the setup missions, which we cover below.
Silent vs. Aggressive Approach: This guide is based on the Silent approach, but it works just as well if you are doing the Aggressive approach. The only real difference is that if you are doing the Aggressive approach, some enemies will respawn. You can choose which approach to take by following the steps in the Setup: Disorganized Crime section below.
How to Start
To start the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid mission series, you must be in free roam and wait for Vincent's call. It may be instantaneous or it may take up to 5 minutes from when you drop into GTA Online, don't worry, as it is random. Once you get a call from Vincent, you will see a 'V' icon on the map where you can go and meet up with him to start your introductory mission, 'Slush Fund.
Slush Fund
After a small introductory cutscene, you must go to two money laundering businesses and steal the setup cash from them. You will get two locations — Location A and B. You won't be able to use any flying vehicles, even if they've already been set as your "personal vehicle." However, you can order any other land vehicle by calling the Mechanic from the contacts option.
You can choose any vehicle you'd like, but if you own an Armored Kuruma, use that to go to these locations to take out the enemies with almost full protection. You can shoot the gang members while sitting inside your Armored Kuruma and then enter the establishment to get the cash. The number of locations you get are based on the number of players you have in your party. For one or two players, you will get two locations. For three players, you will get three locations. And for four players, you will get four locations.
You will also find more enemies inside the buildings as you steal the cash. Once you've stolen the cash from both locations, deliver it to Vincent's Lockup to complete the mission.
Setup: Breaking and Entering
In this setup mission, you must go to two locations and steal some hacking equipment from a Terrorbyte and a laptop from a Cluckin' Bell employee.
Terrorbyte
You can get any of the three random locations for the Terrorbyte, and at each of these locations, the Terrorbyte is at a fixed spot inside a yellow highlighted region. You can also find the Terrorbyte by looking for flying drones in the air. The drones are flying around and directly above the parked Terrorbyte. All three locations are in La Puerta and close to each other. The following are the locations of all three Terrorbytes at each location. The red dot represents the exact location of the Terrorbyte inside each area:
Location 1
Location 2
Location 3
Once you get close to the Terrorbyte, it will appear on your minimap. You will see some drones flying around the Terrorbyte. Take them out. Be careful, as they deal a good amount of damage. Once you take one set of drones out, more will fly out of the Terrorbyte — this process will repeat three times.
After taking out the drones, enter the Terrorbyte and steal the hacking device. Next, you must go to the laptop.
Laptop
The laptop can be found at the Del Perro Pier. However, there are eleven possible spawn locations for the Cluckin' Bell employee who is holding it. When you get to the Pier, you will get a message from Vincent with the image of the employee you're looking for.
The laptop is always close to the employee, so it is easier to locate the employee and get the laptop. It will be highlighted on your minimap when you get close to the laptop.
The following map shows all the laptop locations at the Del Perro Pier. All you need to do is walk up to these eleven locations, and one of them will have the employee and the laptop. Once you're close enough to any of these locations with the laptop, it will appear on your minimap.
When you've acquired the laptop, you must go to the cartel's compound.
Cartel's Compound
When you're at the compound, you need to take out all the cartel members, and one of them will randomly drop the train key. Pick up the key and get inside the parked train. It is worth noting that if you have an Armored Kuruma, it will make this mission ten times easier for you. Regardless, you can always take cover and take your time with the cartel members. There are a lot of them.
When you're inside the train, accelerate on the train tracks and keep going until you see a red highlighted region on your minimap. You will get a prompt to hack the train track signal lights whenever you're inside this region. You must hack them to convert from red to green lights and keep your train going. If they are not hacked in time, the train will come to a complete stop, which leaves you vulnerable to enemy attacks.
As your train rushes through the tracks, you will be subjected to a lot of enemy fire, and slowing down in the middle of all that chaos is not a good idea. You can also have your snacks and armor menu up and use it whenever necessary to avoid death. The mission will complete once you reach the tunnels.
Setup: Concealed Weapons
When doing this mission, you can get three types of weapon loadouts and gear. You can choose from locations A, B, and C, each with its own set of weapons. The difficulty of getting these weapons goes up with how good they are. For example, location C has military grade weapons, and it is protected by military members with strong auto weapons. However, location B is the best location to get your weapon loadout and the required gear.
This is because location B is: (1) near the city; (2) has one of the best loadouts for the stealth approach; and (3) has the required gear at the location. This is important because if you go to location A, you can only find the weapon loadout. For the gear, you will need to go to a different location, such as location B, so why not go directly to location B and get both the weapon loadout and the gear in one go? It is much more convenient and gives you a better loadout option anyway.
Here's what each location has to offer:
LOCATION A
- Compact Rifle
- Combat Pistol
- Mini SMG
- Crowbar
- Molotovs
LOCATION B
- Heavy Rifle
- Tactical SMG
- Heavy Shotgun
- Pipe Bombs
LOCATION C
- MG
- AP Pistol
- Combat Shotgun
- Grenades
Location B is out in the sea on a yacht, and when you get to the beach, you can use one of the seasharks to get to the yacht. Once you board the yacht, all the enemies will be hostile towards you, and an enemy chopper will constantly spawn in to shoot you down. Take out the pilot to quickly eliminate the enemy chopper whenever one spawns, and slowly make your way upstairs.
Once you're upstairs, take the yacht's left side and go to its end. You will find the entrance to the living quarters to the right. Head inside, and you will see a blue marker directly to your right. This shortcut is to get to the lower level where the weapon loadout is. You do not have to fight the enemies when you're at a lower level. It will just take up unnecessary time.
As soon as you're inside, there will be two enemies. Take them out and pick up the loadout to your immediate right. Interact with the blue marker to go back up to the living quarters.
Once you're back up, go straight and enter the first bedroom to your right. Take out the guard inside and pick up the gear on the desk. The gear is inside the red duffle bag resting on the desk. Once you've acquired everything, return to the seashark and go to land. From there, get back inside your vehicle and deliver the equipment and the gear to Vincent's Lockup.
Once you've acquired at least one loadout and one gear, you can complete the mission without having to go to all other locations. This is why location B is the best, as you get the loadout and the gear. After delivering the equipment and gear, bring up your phone and go to text messages. It will automatically bring up the option to confirm the loadout and gear you will use during the finale.
Setup: Hit and Run
In this setup mission, you must steal a getaway vehicle and store it near the Cluckin' Bell Farm. This vehicle will be used during the finale to escape the area. You will get three locations — locations A, B, and C. The best location to go to is location B. It is also run by the same "Professionals" that you stole the weapon loadout and gear. If you happen to steal the getaway vehicle from the same gang you stole the weapons from, they seem to have more security, and by more security, I mean a handful of extra enemies in the area.
Note that each of these three locations will also have one of three random vehicles that may spawn, and they are as follows:
LOCATION A
- The Declasse Tulip
- The Declasse Moonbeam Custom
- The Declasse Impaler LX
LOCATION B
- The Ocelot Jugular
- The Dinka Sugoi
- The Coil Raiden
LOCATION C
- The Mammoth Patriot Mil-Spec
- The Mammoth Squaddie
- The Canis Terminus
Location B has the best vehicles for getaways, and stealing the vehicle from the site is not too difficult. When you get to location B, first take out all the enemies so it is easier to steal the vehicle. Besides, several obstacles are blocking the way out of the compound where the vehicle is parked. You need to clear the way to the ramp at the compound's back to jump out of the area and drive away.
Once you've acquired the vehicle and get to the garage where you need to store it, you will be asked to repair it at the mod shop. The mod shop is right across the street. Go to the mod shop to repair the vehicle for free and then return to the garage to store it. Once again, you can store multiple getaway vehicles, but you must text Vincent to confirm what vehicle you will be using during the escape.
Note that any extra getaway vehicles you steal will net you extra cash, albeit very little amount. For every extra getaway vehicle you have stolen, you will get around $5,000, which is not a lot. So, if you were to steal the vehicles from all three locations, you can expect an extra $10,000 for two cars.
Setup: Disorganized Crime
isorganized Crime is an important setup mission as it will determine the approach of your finale — stealth or aggressive. First, you must go to two different cartel vans driving around the city and hack them to find the location of the cartel's garage. When you get close to the van, you must stay within a certain field shown around the van on your minimap to start hacking. During the hacking process, you can see your progress bar at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
