The Doomsday Heist is a multi-act heist chain introduced in the 2017 Doomsday Heist update. Unlike the original heists, it is designed for 2-4 players and does not require a high-end apartment; instead, you must own a Facility (purchasable from Maze Bank Foreclosures). The heist consists of three acts: Act I (The Data Breaches), Act II (The Bogdan Problem), and Act III (The Doomsday Scenario). Each act has multiple setup missions and a finale.
To start, you need to buy a Facility (prices vary by location, roughly $1.25M to $2.5M). Then, visit the planning board inside to launch the heist. You can play as a leader or join as a crew member. The heist features unique vehicles like the Deluxo and Oppressor Mk II, and introduces the Avenger as a mobile command center.
Completing the Doomsday Heist is one of the most lucrative activities in GTA Online, with potential earnings in the millions. However, payouts depend on difficulty, player count, and whether you complete the Criminal Mastermind challenge. Note that exact prices and payouts change with game updates; always check the in-game pause menu or the Maze Bank Foreclosures site for current costs.
The heist is also tied to the Criminal Mastermind challenge for the Doomsday Heist, which rewards a massive bonus for completing all three acts on hard difficulty with the same team without dying. This makes it a key money-making method for coordinated groups.
