GTA Online Heist Event: 2X first-time heist payouts and a guaranteed Kortz Center prize

From November 5 to 11, 2026, GTA Online is running a Heist Event: first-time completion bonuses are doubled for the Original Heists, The Doomsday Heist, The Diamond Casino Heist and the KnoWay Out missions, Mansion Raid pays triple, and two of the game's most coveted scores are locked in for you: the Panther Statue on Cayo Perico and The Outcome of Endeavour painting at the Kortz Center. The new week went live on Thursday, November 5 at 10:00 AM ET.

It takes over from the month-long Halloween event, which wrapped up on November 4, and it's the first Heist Event since The Kortz Center Heist arrived.

Guaranteed targets at the Kortz Center and Cayo Perico

Your first run of The Kortz Center Heist during the event comes with The Outcome of Endeavour as the primary target. Until now, that canvas was reserved for players who reached Elitist status in this summer's Fine Art Collector program. The rest of this week's rotation is To Beat About the Bush, Hare Oneself Think and True Love.

Over in The Cayo Perico Heist, the Panther Statue is waiting inside El Rubio's compound on your first approach, just like it was during the Summer Heist Event. It's the island's most valuable primary target, so this is a week to run Cayo again even if you've long since burned out on it.

On top of that, simply playing before November 11 gets you The Great Circle Back, a mid-century realist painting for your Mansion walls. Short on crew? Rockstar points to the #the-heist-board channel on its Discord server for finding teammates.

This week's bonuses

Activity

Bonus

Original Heists (The Fleeca Job, The Prison Break, The Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding and The Pacific Standard Job)

2X GTA$ first-time completion bonus

The Doomsday Heist (all three acts)

2X GTA$ first-time completion bonus

2X GTA$ on first completion

Mansion Raid

Community Series

Weekly Challenge: win any Adversary Mode

GTA$100,000

One catch worth knowing: what's doubled is the first-time completion bonus, not the regular finale payout. If you finished all of these heists years ago, there's little extra in them for you; if one is still on your list (Doomsday acts are the usual stragglers), this is the week to tick it off.

Discounts: the Grotti Veleno GT's first sale

The Grotti Veleno GT (Super), which GTA+ members got ahead of everyone else in July, is discounted for the first time: 25% off at Legendary Motorsport through November 11. GTABase puts the sale price at GTA$2,317,500, down from GTA$3,090,000.

The properties that unlock these heists are on sale too. A High-End Apartment is your way into the Original Heists and a Facility is where The Doomsday Heist begins, so if you were missing either one, it's 40% cheaper this week.

Coming up: Contact Missions from November 12 to December 2

Rockstar has already previewed what's next, and it runs for three weeks: from November 12 through December 2, every Contact Mission (Madrazo's Dispatch Services, Gerald's Last Play, Premium Deluxe Repo Work and Lowriders among them) pays Double Rewards, stacking to 4X for GTA+ members. Over the same stretch, Freemode Challenges pay 4X GTA$ and RP, the Stunt Race Series pays triple, Sumo (Remix) pays double and the Community Series pays triple.

Our take: it's a long, low-commitment event that doesn't ask for expensive properties, and it runs right through GTA VI's November 19 launch (the pre-load opens on November 10). The intent seems clear: give anyone still hanging around Los Santos in those weeks a reason to log in for a quick session.

What to do first

Start with the sure things that won't come around again soon: the Kortz Center with The Outcome of Endeavour guaranteed, and Cayo Perico with the Panther Statue, which you can run solo. Then check which older heists you've never actually finished and cash in on the doubled first-time bonus; if you're missing a High-End Apartment or a Facility, you won't find them much cheaper than this. And log in before November 11 so you don't miss The Great Circle Back.
