All GTA 5 Online Original Heists and Setups (2025)

GTA 5 Online Original Heists debuted 10 years ago in March 2015. The title's PC port wasn't even out back then (would be released the following month); that's how old these heists are. Rockstar Games added them with the Heists DLC, which was a highly-anticipated content update at the time. Although there are many higher-paying and arguably more exciting heists available today, the originals have their own charm, which keeps players coming back.

For those interested in checking them out, here are all GTA 5 Online Original Heists and Setups, as well as some other important things to know about them.

GTA 5 Online Original Heists and Setups: All you need to know (2025)

A High-end apartment is needed to start GTA 5 Online Original Heists. This property can be purchased from the Dynasty 8 website via the in-game browser. The Planning Room inside High-end Apartments is where you can begin these quests.

However, note that you should be at Rank 12 or higher, will need a few additional participants, and will have to pay a setup fee for each. Further note that the March 10, 2025, weekly update has doubled the payout of all Original Heists and the Hasta La Vista GTA Adversary Mode through March 16, 2025.

With that said, here's a brief on all GTA 5 Online Original Heists and Setups:

The Fleeca Job is a classic bank heist that requires a total of two players. The objective is robbing a Fleeca Bank outlet, but before that, you must complete two setup missions — Scope Out and Kuruma.

Scope Out - This setup mission involves scoping out the target Fleeca Bank outlet. It also features a hacking mini-game section that one of the participants can attempt. The final phase involves delivering a Declasse Granger from Lester's Garment Factory to the heist leader's High-end Apartment.
Kuruma - This setup mission is simple enough, as it requires stealing an Armored Kuruma and delivering it to Lester's Garment Factory. The car will be guarded, so be stocked up on ammunition, snacks and armor.

The setup fee for The Fleeca Job is $11,500. Completing it (that is all Setups and Finale) can pay $100,625 on Easy, $201,250 on Normal, and $250,250 on Hard difficulty.
