The Pacific Standard Job is the climax of the original GTA Online heists, where players rob the Pacific Standard Bank in Vinewood. The heist requires a high-end apartment with a planning room and a minimum of two players, though four is standard. Setup missions include stealing a dinghy, hacking a bank van, and acquiring a police van and a helicopter.
The finale involves entering the bank, cracking the vault, and escaping with the cash. Players must ride motorcycles through the city, evade police, and reach a boat at the Raton Canyon river. The heist offers multiple approaches, such as using the Karuma or the helicopter for escape.
Completing the Pacific Standard Job on hard difficulty with the same crew in order unlocks the Criminal Mastermind challenge, rewarding a 10 million dollar bonus. The Elite Challenge requires finishing the finale within 10 minutes and 30 seconds without losing any money. Prices and payouts change with updates; check in-game for current values.
