Grand Theft Auto V

GTA 5 story & heists

GTA 5's story ties together three lives: Michael, a retired robber living on a government deal; Franklin, a young hustler who wants out of the street; and Trevor, Michael's former partner. A debt, a pair of crooked FIB agents and a billionaire with his own plans keep pushing the three into bigger and riskier jobs.

The heists

The story is built around these jobs. Most let you pick an approach and a crew, which changes how the job plays and how much you take home.

  1. Heist 1

    The Jewel Store Job

    Michael's comeback: a raid on a high-end Rockford Hills jeweller to pay off a debt.

    Approaches: Loud (go in armed) or Smart (knock-out gas)

  2. Heist 2

    The Merryweather Heist

    A job for the FIB: steal a device from the private military contractor Merryweather.

    Approaches: Offshore (hit the cargo at sea) or Freighter (hit the ship in port)

  3. Heist 3

    Blitz Play

    FIB agent Steve Haines has the crew hit an armoured truck carrying bonds: a garbage truck boxes it in, a tow truck rams it, and Trevor covers from above. There is one fixed plan, with no choice of approach.

  4. Heist 4

    The Paleto Score

    A heavily armed bank robbery in the small northern town of Paleto Bay.

  5. Heist 5

    The Bureau Raid

    Breaking into FIB headquarters to steal data.

    Approaches: Fire Crew (go in as firefighters) or Roof Entry (by helicopter)

  6. Heist 6

    The Big Score

    The final heist: gold bullion from the Union Depository.

    Approaches: Subtle or Obvious

The three endings

Spoiler warning. Near the end, Franklin is given a choice, and it decides how the story finishes.

Option ASomething SensibleShow what happens

Franklin is told to kill Trevor, and goes through with it.

Option BThe Time's ComeShow what happens

Franklin is told to kill Michael, and goes through with it.

Option CThe Third WayShow what happens

Franklin refuses both and the three turn on everyone who has been threatening them instead. The only ending where all three survive.

GTAV : Cayo Perico Heist - Elite Challenge ( Longfin Approach )

The Cayo Perico heist begins with an amphibious landing at the North Dock. The character moves stealthily, avoiding guard vision cones to find an island guard disguise near a fishing pier. After changing clothes, the character re-enters the Longfin boat and navigates to the island's airfield. Upon arrival, the character scouts for equipment, securing a grappling hook and locating a supply truck. Secondary looting takes place in a large hangar, where a cutting torch is used to access stashed drugs. The character then drives the supply truck across the island, passing through checkpoints by using the disguise. At a secondary warehouse, more loot is gathered until the bag is full. The character then drives to the compound's perimeter and uses the grappling hook to scale the wall. Once inside, guards are eliminated silently to obtain gate keys. The character enters El Rubio’s office to loot a hidden wall safe before heading to the underground vault. A fingerprint hack grants access to the elevator, leading down to the vault where the Bearer Bonds are stored in a safe. After securing the primary target, the character escapes the compound by scaling the wall again and swims out to sea, eventually hijacking a dinghy to flee the island. The mission concludes with a successful delivery of the loot and a final payout screen showing the heist statistics.

GTAV: Cayo Perico Heist - Elite Challenge ( Submarine Approach )

The mission begins with the character swimming underwater, utilizing scuba gear to infiltrate El Rubio's heavily guarded compound on Cayo Perico. The character approaches a metal drainage pipe entrance and uses a cutting tool to bypass the security grate. Inside the submerged tunnel, the character removes their scuba gear and emerges into a maintenance area of the compound, meeting a teammate. The team proceeds toward the central mansion, using suppressed weapons to silently eliminate patrolling guards who cannot be fooled by disguises. They navigate the outdoor courtyards and terraces, carefully avoiding cones of vision. The team enters the main building to locate and collect necessary security keycards, finding a keycard and a stash of cash inside a safe. After securing both dual keycards from guards and a safe, they head toward the underground vault. Inside the vault, they retrieve the primary target, Bearer Bonds, and attempt to escape, only to find the drainage pipe exit sealed. They quickly switch to securing secondary targets, cutting out two valuable paintings until their loot bags reach maximum capacity. The team escapes the vault and races back through the compound grounds, silently neutralizing the remaining guards. They open the main gate using the dual keycards and run toward the ocean cliffside. Jumping into the turbulent waves, they commandeer a waiting dinghy. El Rubio begins a search from his helicopter, forcing the team to speed away from the island and out into the open ocean to complete the heist.

GTAV: Cayo Perico heist - Elite Challenge (Helicopter Approach)

The mission begins with a high-altitude stealth helicopter insertion over the Cayo Perico island. A rapid rappel from the aircraft leads to the ground where a military truck is commandeered for a cross-country drive. Reaching a communication tower, a long climb enables the retrieval of essential grappling equipment. The path continues on foot through dense fields, utilizing suppressed rifle fire to neutralize sentries without alerting the base. At a secure warehouse, a small torch melts a lock to allow looting of secondary targets including narcotics and stacks of cash. Driving a vintage jeep across the island allows for a quick approach to the heavily guarded mansion. Grappling hooks facilitate an over-the-wall entry into the interior gardens. Moving cautiously through the mansion, personal bodyguards are dispatched silently with headshots. A hidden safe behind a wall painting provides additional funds before heading to the vault. A multi-stage fingerprint hack bypasses the electronic locks of the underground chamber. Inside, a plasma cutter carefully opens the display case containing the Sinsimito Tequila. The escape route involves a daring climb back over the compound walls and a plunge into the ocean. Swimming away from the immediate search zone leads to a patrol boat which is hijacked for a high-speed getaway into the open sea. The mission concludes with a successful delivery and a massive financial payout.
