FIB Files and 4 other fast ways to make money in GTA Online after Agents of Sabotage update

1) The Cluckin Bell Farm Raid

The Cluckin Bell Farm Raid debuted in early 2024 and is a great way to make a large sum of money relatively quickly. It is much like a heist, as it includes some setup missions and a finale, all of which can be completed within an hour. The payout is $500,000 for each playthrough. A $250,000 bonus is also offered for completing it the first time.

The Cluckin Bell Farm Raid has no prerequisites, so even GTA Online beginners can grind it.

2) Salvage Yard Vehicle Robberies

Salvage Yard Vehicle Robberies also consist of some setup missions and a finale. They are part of the Salvage Yard business, so players will have to purchase that property from Maze Bank Foreclosures to play them.

Three Salvage Yard Robberies are made available every week (all playable only once). Each pays a few hundred thousand dollars for selling or salvaging the stolen vehicle. These missions can be completed within an hour.

It is worth noting that Rockstar Games occasionally makes a Salvage Yard Robbery vehicle claimable for a very small fee. However, claiming it would mean losing its sale/salvage payout.

3) FIB Files

The GTA Online Agents of Sabotage update introduced FIB Files. These missions are very similar to Salvage Yard Robberies in terms of gameplay structure, and they can be completed very quickly. Three of the four files will pay around $150,000. The one marked as the Priority File (playable only once a week) will pay around $300,000.

Grinding the repeatable files can help make a lot of money fast. Completing bonus objectives in their finales pays a bit of extra money.

To play FIB Files, players will have to buy the GTA Online Garment Factory (Darnell Bros Garment Factory) from Maze Bank Foreclosures.

4) Payphone Hits

Payphone Hits (basically assassination jobs) are given by Franklin Clinton, and they can be completed within a few minutes. The base payout is just $15,000. However, completing the optional objective rewards a $30,000 bonus. After completing one, the next Hit can be played after a 10-minute cooldown period. So, grinding them can generate quite a bit on an hourly basis.

Payphone Hits can be started by answering a ringing payphone (marked with a blue telephone icon when around one of its spawn locations) on the map.

Alternatively, Franklin can be called to request a Hit as well. To unlock Payphone Hits, players need to buy a Celebrity Solutions Agency from Dynasty 8 Executive, and complete three Security Contracts.

5) The Cayo Perico Heist

The Cayo Perico Heist can pay very close to, or even over, a million dollars depending on the Primary and Secondary Targets. It can be played solo, unlike most other heists in GTA Online, and only takes a little more than an hour to beat once familiar with its structure.

To play the Cayo Perico Heist, players first need to visit the Music Locker at the Diamond Casino and Resort to meet Miguel Madrazo. They can then purchase the Kosatka submarine from Warstock Cache and Carry.

The submarine costs $2,200,000; which is a pretty hefty investment, but the amount can be recouped easily within a few playthroughs.
