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.

Grand Theft Auto V online races

The gameplay session features two high-octane stunt races in Grand Theft Auto Online. The first race, 'Stunt - Big Drop', begins with a teal and yellow Grotti Itali RSX positioned on a high-altitude starting line. The vehicle speeds down long straightaways and maneuvers through massive drops and sharp turns situated high above the Los Santos skyline. A significant portion of the track involves leaping across gaps between skyscrapers and navigating through narrow sections built atop buildings. The race culminates in a final precision jump onto a massive target platform. Following a brief spectating period and a transition through the job lobby, the second race, 'Stunt - Wall Climb', commences. The chosen vehicle is a vibrant purple Principe Deveste Eight. This race takes place on a complex track characterized by its purple and white color scheme and numerous vertical sections. The Deveste Eight navigates through several intense loops, corkscrews, and long, cylindrical tube segments at high speeds. The race demands careful throttle control to maintain momentum through the vertical climbs and tight turns on elevated platforms, leading eventually to the final dash across the finish line.
