The Humane Labs Raid is the third of five original heists in GTA Online, accessible after completing the Prison Break heist. It is hosted by the player from their high-end apartment and requires a team of four players. The heist consists of five setup missions followed by a finale, where the team must infiltrate the Humane Labs and Research facility to steal a Hydra VTOL jet.
Setup missions include stealing an Insurgent, delivering EMP equipment, infiltrating the lab to disable security, stealing a Valkyrie helicopter, and delivering key codes. The finale involves using the EMP to disable lab defenses, then fighting through the facility to reach and fly out the Hydra. Coordination is critical, especially during the EMP delivery and the final escape.
This heist is notable for its high difficulty and the requirement for the Hydra jet, which is a powerful vehicle for both air and ground combat. The payout for the finale is substantial, but setup costs and time investment are significant. Prices and payouts may change with updates, so check in-game for current numbers. The heist also contributes to the Criminal Mastermind challenge and offers an Elite Challenge bonus for completing it within time and damage limits.
