Heists are among the highest-rewarding missions, and they are one of the reasons why GTA Online is still thriving in 2025. You should prioritize doing heists frequently to make the most out of the game. There are eight heists in the game, and you will require partners for most of them.

Hiring partners is not only important for heists, but they can also help you complete sell missions quickly. Instead of delivering each vehicle one by one, you can deliver them simultaneously with multiple partners.


4) Upgrade the businesses
