Money plays a vital role in GTA 5. You can’t buy weapons, houses, or even repair cars without money.
As a result, learning how to make money in GTA 5 is necessary for a fulfilling experience.
In this post, we’ll show you how to make money in GTA 5 story mode.
How to Make Money In Story Mode in GTA 5
In general, you’ll receive money as a reward after completing each primary mission. However, considering the limited amount and the difficulty of the missions, it’s advisable to focus on other ways.
There are several ways to get money in GTA 5, but our top 7 picks are the fastest and most lucrative.
1. Robbing Peds
Most civilians in Los Santos and Blain County have money themselves. To get money from them, simply equip firearms or melee weapons, then knock off anyone you see on the roads.
The money you get from those people is roughly $15-$25. Typically, people standing next to the ATMs or withdrawing cash can offer more.
Although this method is improvised and provides money instantly, it can draw police attention and increase your Wanted Star level.
2. Finding Hidden Packages
There are a total of 15 hidden packages in GTA 5: 11 in the ocean, and 4 in the nudist colony.
Finding these packages is not only a chance to explore the world of GTA 5 but also to receive $7000-$25000 for each package.
3. Completing Heists and Lester’s Assassination
Heists are missions that enhance teamwork skills and provide experience.
There are 6 heists in GTA 5, and completing each can earn each protagonist a reward ranging from a hundred to a million dollars, depending on how thoroughly you finish it.
Lester’s Assassinations are exclusive missions for Franklin, assigned by Lester. There are 5 assassinations, and completing each one earns Franklin approximately $5,000 to $10,000.
However, the most profitable aspect of these missions is buying and selling stocks before and after them.
The estimated amount of money you get after 5 assassinations and investing stocks wisely is up to $2,100,000,000.
4. Approaching the Securities Vans
Security Vans are randomly spawned throughout Los Santos, on the roads, and in fixed locations.
To rob the vans, you need to eliminate 2-3 guards, then shoot to the back doors to get between $3000-$8000.
5. Owning Properties
The money you receive from properties in GTA 5 is sustainable. You can earn between $130,000 and $264,000 weekly, depending on the real estate you acquire.
However, you need to invest a significant amount of money upfront to purchase them. That said, this method can only be utilized in the late game.
6. Investing in The Stock Market
Stocks in GTA 5 can make you well-off or poor in the blink of an eye. The amount of money you get from investing is flexible, depending on how much you have and which stocks you invest in.
To check the stock price and buy it, bring up your phone and access Liberty City National Exchange (LCN) and BAWSAQ, then select the stocks that have potential.
