With multiple primary and secondary targets to grab in order to achieve the max payout during the heist, players want to make sure to grab the Madrazo Files on their first try. This primary target must be recovered on the first play through and is worth $1,100,000.

The Doomsday Heist
The Doomsday Heist requires players to register as a CEO, VP, or MC president and must purchase a facility at Maze Bank to launch this mission. This purchase sets players back $1,250,000, but the job's potential payout is crazy!
There are three different acts to complete in this complex heist that involve stealing ambulances, juggernauts, and the Imponte Deluxo hover car, which is one of the most expensive cars in GTA 5 and was inspired by the Delorean from the movie Back To The Future.

The Pacific Standard Heist
The Pacific Standard Heist is a chaotic bank robbery classic. Players get to go all out in taking hostages, cracking vaults, and police shootouts. A high-end apartment is the only set-up cost for this heist, and players should already have purchased one.
Depending on the difficulty settings from easy to hard, the potential payout ranges from $500,000 to $1,250,000. Get in and out in under 10 minutes and prepare for a highly exposed escape on motorbikes as the police open fire!
The Humane Labs Raid Heist
The Humane Labs Raid heist consists of multiple set up missions that involve stealing a VTOL jet, a Valkyrie helicopter, and sniping enemies; which leads to the final heist of stealing some important files from the Humane Labs. Potential payout for this heist also solely consists on the players difficulty setting, ranging from $270,000 on easy to $675,000 on hard. The stealth set up mission can be a difficult one. Players want to silence their snipers, watch the time, and alert no one. Players will fail the mission if enemies are alerted!
