1) Cayo Perico heist

While Cayo Perico is not a new heist in the game, it is still one of the most fun GTA Online missions that you can complete. It is one of the best solo heists in the game, thanks to its high payout and beginner-friendly nature. The objectives that are part of this mission — such as stealing drugs and money — are more fun to complete with friends. Moreover, doing the setup missions with friends increases the heist's payout.

The Cayo Perico mission is also one of the best ways to make money in GTA Online, especially for new and solo players. All you have to do is grind a little at the beginning and purchase the Kosatka submarine to access this heist.

The First Dose offers a series of very enjoyable GTA Online missions. However, its finale, Off The Rails, is the most outrageous and action-packed of them all. In it, you first raid the Humane Labs and Research facility to obtain some chemicals. Here, you learn about a train carrying a huge supply of chemicals and decide to derail and loot it.

After getting the train off its tracks, you must fight law enforcement and steal the chemicals from its compartments. You also have the chance to steal the Brickade 6x6 during Off The Rails and take it back to the Freakshop to complete the mission.

Rockstar sometimes offers bonus cash and RP for completing the mission during certain GTA Online weekly updates. However, even without it, the mission is fun and very rewarding, especially for first-timers.

3) Breaking and Entering

Breaking and Entering is the second mission in the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid. It requires players to complete multiple objectives before they can finally reach its end. The first task needs them to steal a laptop from a Cluckin' Bell Farm employee. Once this is complete, they must infiltrate the defenses of a Terrorbyte and obtain a hacking chip, which will come in handy throughout the raid.

The last part of this mission is the best since players have to steal a freight train and ride it to the hideout. To do so, they first need to attack a cartel base and obtain the keys to the railcar. After that, they need to ride the train and hack the signal lights to let the vehicle pass without any issues. The mission overall is quite fun and full of adventure.

The Last Dose is part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update, where players get to complete five missions and earn hefty rewards in return. Last Dose 5, BDKD, is its finale and one of the best GTA Online missions. In it, you must fly a stolen aircraft close to Friedlander's airplane and hack it in the air. This will open the latter's doors, allowing you to craft and land inside.

Then, you must fight off enemies and land the plane at an airfield. Here, the Fooligans will unload its contents while defending the truck from cops. Your final goal is to take the truck to the Freakshop without letting the police destroy it. Completing the mission will reward you with the Ocelot Virtue, which is an amazing Supercar in GTA Online.

5) Scene of the Crime

This is the finale of the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid and one of the best GTA Online missions because it is jam-packed with action and pays a lot of money. Once you complete all the setup missions for Scene of the Crime, you will need to enter a factory to deal the final blow to a cartel. Depending on how you performed during the setup missions, you can either go in silently or crash through the front door and make your presence known.

Regardless of your approach, your objectives are the same — steal all the coke that you can and empty the safe before exiting the compound. Doing both in stealth mode is easier, but going in guns blazing is fun and daring. Sometimes, GTA Plus Benefits offer bonus cash or RP for completing the setup missions, which makes Scene of the Crime quite lucrative.
