Heist season is back in GTA Online. This week is a full Heist Event and it runs from Thursday November 5 to Wednesday November 11, 2026.
The headline is simple. First-time Heist finishes pay double. Cayo Perico gives you the Panther Statue on your first run. And the properties you need for the big jobs are 40% off. If you have been saving your first runs then this is the week to use them.
GTA Online This Week at a Glance
- 2X GTA$ first-time completion bonuses on the Original Heists and The Doomsday Heist and The Diamond Casino Heist and KnoWay Out Missions
- Guaranteed Panther Statue as the Primary Target on your first Cayo Perico Heist run this week
- Guaranteed painting in The Kortz Center Heist on your first run
- 3X GTA$ and RP on Mansion Raid
- 2X GTA$ and RP on the Community Race Series
- Free Mansion painting just for logging in
- 40% off High-End Apartments and Casino Penthouses and Facilities
2X First-Time Completion Bonuses on Heists
The double money this week sits on first-time completion bonuses. It does not double every normal Heist payout.
The bonus covers all five Original Heists. That list is The Fleeca Job and Prison Break and Humane Labs Raid and Series A Funding and The Pacific Standard Job. It also covers all three Acts of The Doomsday Heist. The Diamond Casino Heist gets the same 2X first-time bonus. So do the KnoWay Out Missions.
Newer players gain the most here. If you have already finished a Heist before then that first-time bonus is already gone. Plan your week around the jobs you have never finished.
Guaranteed Panther Statue in The Cayo Perico Heist
This is the best single target of the week. Your first Cayo Perico run in this event is guaranteed to place the Panther Statue inside El Rubio’s compound.
The Panther Statue is one of the most wanted Primary Targets in the game. It does not show up often. A guaranteed run saves you repeat scoping trips and wasted time.
The guarantee is for the first qualifying run only. Scope the island with care and take your best approach. Do not rush this one.
The Kortz Center Heist Gets a Guaranteed Painting
The Kortz Center Heist joins the Heist Event for the first time this week. Your first run is guaranteed to offer The Outcome of Endeavour as the painting target.
The Heist rotates four paintings in total. The full set is The Outcome of Endeavour and To Beat About the Bush and Hare Oneself Think and True Love. This week takes the luck out of that first pick.
Good news if you already finished it once. The first time completion bonus resets this week, so you can earn it again.
Finish the Kortz Center Heist without dying and you get an extra GTA$400,000 on top.
Free Mansion Painting Just for Logging In
Log in at any point before November 11 ends and you get The Great Circle Back for free. It is a decoration painting for your Mansion.
There is no mission to finish and no challenge to clear. Log in and it is yours.
Property Discounts: 40% Off the Buildings You Need
The property sale lines up with the Heist bonuses on purpose. The buildings on sale are the same buildings that unlock the jobs.
- 40% off High-End Apartments
- 40% off the Casino Master Penthouse
- 40% off Casino Master Penthouse upgrades and modifications
- 40% off Facilities
- 40% off Facility upgrades and modifications
A High-End Apartment gives you access to the Original Heists. A Facility is what you need to host The Doomsday Heist. If you are missing either one then buy it this week and run its Heist while the first-time bonus is live.
Vehicle Discounts and Showrooms
The Grotti Veleno GT leads the car deals with 25% off at Legendary Motorsport. It also sits in the Luxury Autos showroom this week next to the Grotti GT750.
Ten more vehicles are 30% off. The list is the Cheval Taipan and the Benefactor Vorschlaghammer and the Invetero Coquette D5 and the Pegassi Reaper and the Maibatsu Penumbra FF and the Western Company Besra and the Western Rampant Rocket and the HVY Insurgent and the Dinka Blista Kanjo and the Grotti Cheetah.
Podium vehicle and Prize Ride
The Entity XXR normally costs $2,305,000 from Legendary Motorsport, so a free one from the wheel is a big saving. GTA+ members now get 2 spins every 24 hours instead of 1. The Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel podium vehicle is the Overflod Entity XXR. Spin the wheel each day for your shot at it. The Hellion normally costs $835,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
The LS Car Meet Prize Ride is the Annis Hellion. Finish in the top 5 in an LS Car Meet Series race on three days in a row to win it. Hao’s Premium Test Ride is the Grotti Brioso R/A. The LS Car Meet test rides are the Cheval Taipan and the HVY Insurgent and the Pegassi Reaper.
Weekly Challenge, Time Trials and Robbery Targets
The Weekly Challenge pays GTA$100,000 for one win in any Adversary Mode. It is quick money and worth doing early in the week.
The Premium Race is At the Races. The HSW Time Trial runs from Del Perro Beach to Murietta Heights. The standard Time Trial is LSIA.
The FIB Priority File is The Black Box File. Priority Files pay double this week, so this file is worth running more than once. The Salvage Yard Robbery targets are the Annis Hellion for The Podium Robbery and the Truffade Z-Type for The Cargo Ship Robbery and the Lampadati Cinquemila for The McTony Robbery.
Gun Van This Week
The Precision Rifle is the big Gun Van deal at 50% off. The Baseball Bat and the Knife are both free.
GTA+ Members get 40% off the Compact EMP Launcher and 80% off Armor. The rest of the stock list is the El Strickler and the Sweeper Shotgun and the Widowmaker and Knuckle Dusters and Proximity Mines and Pipe Bombs and Molotovs.
The rest of the stock is 10% off for everyone, and 20% off for GTA+ members.
What Should You Do First This Week?
Start with the free and the guaranteed items. Log in first so the Mansion painting is locked in. Then run Cayo Perico and take the Panther Statue while the guarantee is live. Run The Kortz Center Heist next for its guaranteed painting.
After that work through any Heist you have never finished. The 2X first-time bonuses are the biggest cash in this event. And if a missing Apartment or Facility is blocking you then buy it at 40% off before you start.
