Heists are some of the best pieces of content in GTA Online, with players banding together to rob an organization. Successful completion of all heists in the game at least once is actually part of a challenge in GTA Online. In this article, we are going to list out the top 5 most exciting heists in GTA Online.

5 - The Fleeca Job

  • Prerequisites: Rank 12 or above, high-end apartment, Heist planning room
  • Potential earnings: $57,500 (easy), $115,000 (normal), $143,000 (hard)
  • Setup cost: $11,500
  • Number of players: 2

The Flecca Job is the first heist in GTA Online... and it is supposed to be your introduction to the mechanic. The best part about this job is that you can complete it with only 2 people instead of the usual 4. Because of this, you should have a much easier time finding people to play with. Once you have gotten familiar with the Flecca Job, clearing it out at speed should be easy.

A casino is one of the most popular targets for a heist... and the Diamond Casino heist in GTA Online recreated that perfectly. You can pick between three different approaches in this heist based on your playstyle. Silent & Sneaky approach is for the stealth players, Aggressive approach is for the usual "drive up and shot" players... and The Big Con is an approach that involves disguises. The latter is definitely inspired by other popular movies and games like Ocean's Eleven or Hitman.
