Heists inGrand Theft Auto Onlinehave the player work for the government, sneaking into labs and stealing information, while also allowing the player to rob banks and casinos. While not every heist in the game goes according to plan, it is still fun to try to escape from the police, and even sometimes the military.
14Prologue
This heist is featured as the first mission ofGrand Theft Auto V.It takes place 9 years before the story and has Michael and Trevor robbing a bank in North Yankton, a parody of North Dakota. While it appears to be going well, everything falls apart towards the end.
The getaway driver is killed, an accomplice named Brad is killed, and Trevor is under the impression that Michael was killed as well. As it is revealed, Michael went into witness protection and sold his friends out to the FIB. While the heist might have been a failure, it set the stage for the game.
13The Fleeca Job
The Fleeca Job is the first heist the player can complete inGrand Theft Auto Online.The setup missions are simple enough – scope out the bank and steal an armored Karuma. That being said, the entire heist is pretty simple.
The player has to drive to the bank, and one person has to do crowd control while the other drills into safe boxes. After this, the player must follow the road and get picked up by a Cargobob. It is understandable because it is the first heist, but it isverysimple.
12The Merryweather Heist
This is another failed heist, technically. Michael, Franklin, and Trevor steal a device from Merryweather, but Lester Crest does not want it and demands they return it. It does bring up a pressing question concerning how the protagonists arenot in serious troublefor doing this heist.

The player is able to approach this heist in two ways – blowing up the freighter and taking the device or using a submarine to steal the device from a testing site. It is also worth noting that the player will not get any money for this heist, as the device was returned.
11The Jewel Store Heist
Robbing the jewelry store is what brings Michael out of retirement. After messing with the wrong man, Michael has to repay a debt, so he decides to start pulling heists again. The heist can be performed through stealth or by using brute force.
By sneaking, the player gasses the store and steals the jewelry without harming anyone (except for gas inhalation), while going loud means you bust in there and hold everyone at gunpoint. The loud option also gives the chance for heist members to die, losing some of the money earned.
10Series A
Series A Funding is a mission given to the player by Trevor inGrand Theft Auto Online.This heist’s setup missions have the player steal drugs from a yacht, disguise as trash collectors and steal drugs, steal drugs from bikers – there’s an awful lot of narcotics theft going on.
After stealing the drugs for Trevor, the player will deliver a truck to the El Gordo Lighthouse, where Trevor is waiting. As revealed in the cutscene, the buyer was an undercover cop, who attempts to arrest Trevor. Trevor escapes and the cargo is seized, but the player is still paid for their work.
9Blitz Play
The preparation for this heist is simple enough. The player has to purchase 3 boiler suits, 3 masks, find a trash truck, find a tow truck, and stash a getaway vehicle. The actual heist involves a shootout with police and blowing up the doors of the Stockade to get the money.

This heist is also a reference to the beginning ofHeat.Michael makes a reference by saying he got this plan from an old Vinewood movie.
8The Humane Labs Raid
This heist turns out to be a government mission, given to the player by Agent 14. The setups have the player robbing from a navy ship, stealing a helicopter from Merryweather, and getting codes from IAA agent Karen Daniels. The actual raid is a lot more fun than expected.
One team sneaks into the lab while the other team provides cover with a helicopter. After breaking in, the inside team must steal information and escape through an underwater tunnel. The ending has the players blow up the helicopter, walking away as it ignites.
7The Bureau Raid
The Bureau Raid is one of the last heists in the story mode and has the player raid the FIB headquarters. It is worth noting that Trevor is not a part of this heist. This is because Steve Haines is responsible for giving the player this heist, and he has a dislike for Trevor.
There are two options the player can choose from, either entering disguised as firemen or by entering the building by the roof. Entering via the roof requires no setups, making it available from the start. It is also interesting to note that Michael does not take a cut of the money earned for this heist.
6The Prison Break
The Prison Break heist is featured inGrand Theft Auto Onlineand has the players break a researcher named Maxim Rashkovsky out of prison. The setups include stealing a plane, a prison bus, police information, and assassinating people keeping Maxim in prison.

The actual heist has two players sneak into the prison disguised as a guard and a prisoner. After a shootout, they must get to the airfield and fly to safety. Maxim takes control of the plane, and the players parachute to the ground, completing their goal.
5The Paleto Score
The Paleto Score has the player rob a bank in Paleto Bay during the story mode. Cops pull up to the bank, assuming it was another false alarm until Trevor shoots at them. The heist members put on armor and shoot through cops using miniguns.
While fighting through a chicken factory, the military shows up and the player has to fight through them. When they get to the train tracks, a train appears and all of the heist members climb aboard. With the close location to Fort Zancudo, tanks and helicopters attack the player, too.
