Every GTA Online Heist, In Order
From the Pacific Standard Job to the Cayo Perico Heist to the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid — every Grand Theft Auto Online heist, listed in release order with payout.
Twelve years and approximately 15 major heists into GTA Online's lifecycle, the heist catalog represents the deepest co-op multiplayer content in any GTA. Each heist is a multi-mission setup arc culminating in a finale; payouts range from $400,000 to over $4,000,000 per crew member. Below: the complete list, in release order.
Heist 1: The Fleeca Job (March 2015)
Setup: 2 missions. Crew: 2 players. Payout: ~$200K-400K per player.
The first GTA Online heist. Bank vault job in Los Santos. Functions primarily as the tutorial heist — short setup, mid-game-friendly difficulty. Most returning players haven't run it in years.
Heist 2: The Prison Break (March 2015)
Setup: 4 missions. Crew: 4 players. Payout: ~$400K-800K per player.
Multi-vehicle prison-break heist with role specialisation (driver, demolitions, prisoner, gunman). The first proper four-player co-op heist in GTA Online and the template for the rest of the heist catalog.
Heist 3: The Humane Labs Raid (March 2015)
Setup: 5 missions. Crew: 4 players. Payout: ~$650K-1.1M per player.
A military-research-facility infiltration. Heavy combat focus, multiple aircraft setups, multi-stage finale.
Heist 4: Series A Funding (March 2015)
Setup: 6 missions. Crew: 4 players. Payout: ~$700K-1.2M per player.
The drug-business heist — Trevor Philips's narrative thread. Most-mission-rich of the original four.
Heist 5: The Pacific Standard Job (March 2015)
Setup: 5 missions. Crew: 4 players. Payout: ~$1M-1.5M per player.
The flagship original heist and the most-played GTA Online heist of all time. Pacific Standard Bank robbery with a multi-stage escape — players still run this for the experience even though Cayo Perico pays better.
Heist 6: The Doomsday Heist (December 2017)
Setup: 12 missions across 3 acts (the Data Breaches, the Bogdan Problem, the Doomsday Scenario). Crew: 4 players. Payout: ~$1.2M-2.5M per player.
The largest heist in GTA Online — three full sub-heists totalling 12 setups. The Doomsday Heist introduced the rail-gun, the Avenger, and various flying-motorcycle content. Significantly more difficult than Pacific Standard.
Heist 7: The Diamond Casino Heist (December 2019)
Setup: 8-12 missions. Crew: 2-4 players. Payout: $1.2M-3M per player.
The most replayed heist in GTA Online history. Three approaches (Aggressive, Sneaky, The Big Con) with multiple finale-vault contents (cash, gold, art, diamonds). The Diamond Casino Heist is the gold standard for GTA Online heist design and the template for every heist that followed.
Heist 8: The Cayo Perico Heist (December 2020)
Setup: 5 missions. Crew: 1-4 players (solo-able!). Payout: $1.5M-4M per player.
The first solo-runnable heist in GTA Online. Cayo Perico is a standalone island added specifically for this heist; it's the first new map area in GTA Online since the original release. Hugely popular for solo grinding; the highest payout-per-time of any heist.
Heist 9: The Contract (December 2021)
Setup: 3 missions. Crew: 1-4 players. Payout: ~$800K-1.5M per player.
Franklin Clinton-led heist set in Vinewood. Co-op with multiple new sub-businesses (the Agency, the music studio). Less emphasis on heist mechanics; more on the agency-business tie-in.
Heist 10: The Doomsday Heist refresh (April 2024)
A QoL update to the original Doomsday Heist with rebalanced payouts and bug fixes. Not a new heist; included here for completeness.
Heist 11: The First Dose (April 2024)
Setup: 6 missions. Crew: 1-4 players. Payout: ~$1M-2M per player.
A drug-industry heist tying into the Acid Lab business. Smaller than the major heists but tonally distinct.
Heist 12: Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid (December 2025)
Setup: 3 missions. Crew: 1-4 players. Payout: ~$800K-1.6M per player.
The most recent major heist. Set on a Cluckin' Bell-branded farm in Blaine County. Multi-stage infiltration with farming-equipment sabotage. The heist's tie-in is the long-running Cluckin' Bell Farms business.
Optimal heist progression
If you're a new GTA Online player approaching heists for the first time:
- Cayo Perico first — solo-able, highest payout-per-time
- Diamond Casino Heist second — most-replayed, most heist-game-feel
- Pacific Standard for nostalgic value
- Cluckin' Bell for the most-recent content
The earlier heists (Fleeca, Humane Labs, Prison Break, Series A) are mostly historical — most players don't run them in 2026.
What's next
GTA Online's heist cadence has slowed in 2025-2026 as Rockstar shifts development to GTA 6 and the eventual GTA 6 Online. The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid is widely considered the last major GTA Online heist; subsequent updates are smaller business additions and seasonal events.
