Blaine County is the northern half of the San Andreas map in Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online, encompassing a diverse range of environments including the Grand Senora Desert, Mount Chiliad, the Alamo Sea, and numerous small communities like Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, and Grapeseed. Unlike the urban sprawl of Los Santos, Blaine County is characterized by open roads, off-road trails, and sparse population.
In GTA Online, Blaine County is home to several businesses and activities that can generate income. Players can purchase properties such as the Sandy Shores Airfield (for hangar cargo), the Paleto Bay Clubhouse (for MC businesses), and the Grand Senora Desert Bunker (for weapon manufacturing). Additionally, the region features several heist setups and freemode events like smuggling runs and treasure hunts.
The area is also critical for certain missions and heists, such as the Humane Labs Raid (located at the Humane Labs and Research facility) and the Pacific Standard Job's finale escape route. For players focused on money-making, Blaine County offers lower property prices compared to Los Santos, but travel distances are longer, requiring fast vehicles or aircraft.
Note: Prices and payouts for properties and missions in Blaine County change with game updates; always check the in-game Maze Bank Foreclosures or mission boards for current values.
