Series A Funding is the fourth heist in the original GTA Online heists lineup, unlocked after completing The Prison Break. It is hosted by Trevor Philips, who tasks players with sabotaging his former associates' meth operations. The heist involves a series of setup missions and a finale, with players working together to steal and destroy meth supplies.

The heist requires a high-end apartment with a planning room and a team of 2-4 players. Setup missions include stealing a weed van, destroying a meth lab, and hijacking a train. The finale has players infiltrating a meth lab, stealing a truck, and escaping while fending off enemies. Payouts vary based on difficulty and player count; exact numbers change with game updates, so check in-game for current rates.

Series A Funding is a mid-tier earner, offering decent payouts for the time invested. It is also required for the Criminal Mastermind challenge, which rewards a substantial bonus for completing all original heists in order on hard difficulty without dying. The Elite Challenge adds extra cash for completing the finale within time and damage limits.

Tips

  • Use the Heavy Utility Vest during setups and finale for increased damage resistance (available from Ammu-Nation).
  • In the finale, assign one player to drive the truck while others provide cover from the back or use weaponized vehicles.
  • Destroy the meth lab quickly to reduce enemy spawns; use grenades or sticky bombs on the equipment.
  • For the train setup, use a helicopter or sniper to eliminate enemies on the train before boarding.
  • Coordinate roles: let a skilled driver handle the truck and a sharpshooter handle the turret.
  • Complete the Elite Challenge by finishing the finale under 10 minutes and with less than 50% damage to the truck.
