GTA 6 Compound Raids

Short answerPress preview

Compounds are gang and criminal hideouts you raid in GTA 6, and Rob Nelson says there are "lots and lots" of them.

You find them through the story, tips or exploring, hit them for drugs or cash and sell the haul to a fence; one compound raid is exclusive to the Ultimate Edition.

Lots and lots of compounds

Rob Nelson to TGG

There are lots and lots of compounds that you can find out about either through the flow or tips from people you meet or just by stumbling across them. And you can go and hit them for drugs or cash and then you take it to a fence.

Compounds are a higher tier, so they can appear on the map with an estimated take when you hover them. You can raid them alone or together.

The map can tell you how much cash and how many drugs a gang hideout is holding before you go in, Rob Nelson told Famitsu. Sneak in, take them, and sell the drugs to a fence.

Raid with a van if you expect a big haul: you can carry two duffel bags by hand, a car holds a couple, and a bike holds none.
