GTA ONLINE / HEIST INTELLIGENCE

Plan your next score.

Every official GTA Online heist in one place — launch date, buy-in, crew size, payout, routes and the requirements that actually matter.

THE SCOREBOARD

11 heist scorelines. One clean reference.

Five classic apartment heists, three Doomsday acts, and three modern scores — including the 2026 Kortz Center Heist. Payouts below are current reference figures before crew cuts, damage penalties and weekly event multipliers.

11official heist entries

2015–26release window

How to read the money: “First weekly run” means the boosted first completion after the weekly reset where applicable. Rockstar can change payouts, target odds and bonus windows, so treat the in-game result screen as final.
