GTA Online: Best Money Making Methods (Updated For 2020)

GTA Online is a game around obtaining racks of cash to buy the most lavish of items. This guide will help players with the best method to make money in the game during 2020. GTA Online is a capitalist dream-come-true. Like the real world, nothing comes for free and must be earned from hard work and labor. Although, the labor, in this case, involves pulling off successful heists and eating the rich for all they are worth. In GTA Online, players are thrown into the game world with very little to call their own. After the tutorial, the world begins to open up and the wild nature of Los Santos begins to shine through. For starters, everyone is out for blood in the online game world. Unless the player enters passive mode, they will most likely be targeted by players with bigger and better gear. Especially since the player starts with nothing more than a pistol and a run-down vehicle, it will be hard to defend themselves from other players. The more money the player gets, the more options open up. Better weapons, better homes, better cars, and most importantly, a better GTA Online experience. The game has changed drastically since its release back in 2013, so this guide will help players with the best money making methods currently in 2020.

The Grand Theft Auto series has been a staple of gaming since its major blockbuster success of Grand Theft Auto 3. For the first time, players were able to explore a full 3D world and there was no limitation for where the player could wander off to. Ever since then, several titles have released in the Grand Theft Auto series, introducing new gameplay elements, new cities based on Los Angeles and New York, and neat stories with likable and charismatic characters. GTA Online is not the first online experience the series has seen but is the one developer Rockstar is putting the most effort into fleshing out. Grand Theft Auto 4 had an online game mode where players could race, explore Liberty City, participate in deathmatches, and more, but Rockstar really began to get their footing with Grand Theft Auto 5. One of the biggest inclusions to GTA Online is the ability to go on heists with friends. Heists were a major inclusion that came along with the games story mode, only now this time, players could argue and bicker with their friends rather than Franklin or Trevor. Here’s how to make some fast cash in GTA Online.

Making Money in GTA Online: Heists

For starters, heists are easily the fastest way to make large sums of money in a shorter period of time. Players can potentially profit $400,000 an hour by participating in heist missions. These are special, multi-chapter missions that require the player to come together with a team and prepare, plan, and penetrate enemy forces to steal valuable items. The harder the difficulty, the more money the team will receive at the end of the mission. Also, these are some of the most enjoyable aspects of GTA Online, so jumping into these missions should be a no brainer. The Pacific Standard Heist is ideal for making the most money.

Making Money in GTA Online: Special Cargo and Vehicle Cargo

In order to pull this off, the player will need to invest in an office building and in warehouses. Players got to spend money to make money, as investing in these properties is a hefty price tag. Although, players will easily make this money back by participating in the vehicle and special cargo jobs. Participating in these missions by filling up warehouses with special cars and successfully delivering them will return several; hundreds of thousands of dollars to the player. Players can see to gain $300,000 an hour by doing this. Also, players can do this all alone, not needing to wait for friends to be online to participate.

Making Money in GTA Online: Time Trials

Time Trials will appear around the map of Los Santos. These are pretty simple to complete. Just find one that appears on the map and attempt to beat the score above. Successfully doing this can net players around $50,000 an hour. Although, it’s important to realize if driving is not the best skill in your set. This can turn into a colossal waste of time if the player is not comfortable behind the wheel. Re-attempting Time Trials over and over again will just waste more time if the player can successfully beat the clock. This is only recommended for players who are comfortable driving in Los Santos.

Making Money in GTA Online: Investing in Clubs

Purchase a bunker for either the GTA Online Motorcycle Club or Gunrunning Club. The neat thing about investing in these businesses is that the player does not need to invest much time into it after it has been purchased. The game will automatically begin raising money behind the scenes. These locations are used for money laundering and special items will be available for the player to sell. The player needs to be attentive in selling these items, but that’s all they have to do in the game. If they wait too long, the stock will grow too much and the player will most likely need to outsource some help to move it (bringing along friends). If the player can maintain a schedule, this is a great way to make around $80,000 without needing to do much.

GTA Online is a fantastic time with, or without friends. The game continues to sell extremely well, regardless of the title being over 7 years old. Rockstar currently has no plans for another Grand Theft Auto title, and it makes sense considering how successful GTA Online has become. An online community has spawned from the game as several YouTube videos and Twitch streams go live every day sharing their adventures within Los Santos. The modding community has also gone rampant with the options that become available when modding this game. GTA Online maintains the title of the definitive, online sandbox experience.

GTA Online is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
