GTA Online Auto Shop Contracts guide: An overview of all the Robbery Contracts
Rockstar Games included a total of eight Robbery Contracts for Grand Theft Auto players. These missions are available through the Job Board inside the Auto Shop property and are offered by Kenny Dixon Jr. (also known as Moodymann) and Sessanta. However, you must first complete the Impounded Car mission, which is a setup mission for the popular business in GTA 5 Online.
Once you have completed the setup mission, you will see up to three Robbery Contracts listed on the Job Board at a time. The eight missions are as follows:
- The Bank Contract
- The Data Contract
- The Superdollar Deal
- The Prison Contract
- The Agency Deal
- The E.C.U Job
- The Lost Contract
- The Union Depository Contract
Before, getting onto them, the GTA Online Auto Shop Contracts guide readers must note down the following four things regarding the missions:
- You will have to register either as a SecuroServ VIP, an Organization CEO, or an MC President to access these missions.
- Each Robbery Contract has three missions: Two setup missions and a finale.
- You can play the missions solo or with up to three other players (a total of four players).
- Each mission offers a different amount of money as a reward.
It is also worth noting that you cannot use all types of vehicles and weapons during the finale of the GTA Online Robbery Contracts. Rockstar Games limits the vehicle class strictly to the Tuners.

Since you will have to face the wrath of Merryweather soldiers, you must be fully prepared with armor and snacks. You will also have to protect and guard an NPC named Avi Schwartzman, which makes the finale a little more challenging.

During the finale, the GTA Online Auto Shop Contracts guide readers must ambush a moving military convoy and significantly damage a Mobile Operations Center vehicle to make it stop.

Once the MOC vehicle stops, enter it and steal four printing plates. Keep in mind that a few military guards are also stationed inside the vehicle. Kill all of them before looting the items. Once done, safely deliver the plates to the client to complete the mission. He will pay you with a reward of $185,000.
