GTA 6 Robberies

Short answerPress preview

GTA 6 robberies can hit any store you walk into, alone or with your partner.

Slip in the back with a snap gun, kill the cameras and alarm, crack the safe, then bank the cash or take the loot to a fence; going loud is faster but escalates the police response.

A quiet store robbery, step by step

  1. Lucia walking toward a We Do Repairs phone shop beside a pawn shop in a strip mall.

    Pick a target

    Any store works. Bigger targets come from tips, story contacts, or a map blip showing the estimated take.

  2. Lucia and Jason in bandanas walking down a liquor store aisle.

    Go in the back

    Kicking the door sets off the alarm. A snap gun — a lock-picking tool — gets you in quietly.

  3. A robber in a skull mask raising a submachine gun in a room lit red, from Trailer 2.

    Kill cameras and alarm

    Destroy the cameras so nobody sees you, then disable the security system so the alarm stays off.

  4. Lucia in a red bandana and Jason in a mask walking down a store aisle, from Trailer 1.

    Crack the safe

    Back-room safes need a code: work it out, overhear a pedestrian, or get it texted by a fence.

  5. A store clerk tackling Jason to the floor mid-robbery, his pistol still in hand.

    Watch for heroes

    Clerks, guards and customers may try to stop you if you slack.

  6. A customer in the doorway of a corner store, an ATM against the wall, from Trailer 2.

    Bank it

    Cash goes to an ATM, duffel bag loot to a fence. Die with cash on you and you can lose it.

Loud or quiet

Game Informer's cover story says robberies go loud and fast, or quiet and slow, and how far you escalate sets the police response.

Rob Nelson to Famitsu

If you behave with restraint, it's possible to escape without killing anyone.

Firing near people instead of at them scares them off and buys time to escape, and it keeps your Criminal Profile on the professional side.

After the job

On a hired job you can deliver the loot together or send Lucia alone to the person who hired you.

In the getaway, one partner drives and the other shoots — you pick who you control. Pull over, take the masks off, and the police lose the description they were hunting. The GTA 6 wanted level page covers the rest.
