GTA 6 Store Robbery

Short answerPress preview

Local stores are the bottom robbery tier in GTA 6: convenience stores, gas stations, phone repair shops — any store you walk into, none of them blipped on the map.

Go in the back with a snap gun, kill the cameras, and crack the back-room safe with a code a fence may text you.

Any store, not just blips

Rob Nelson to TGG

You can try and rob any store that you walk into, not just money-making opportunities that are blipped on the map.

Low-level robberies never appear on the map as robberies. TGG lists a local phone store, a convenience store and potentially a hair salon as fair game, and Nelson adds that "the little gas stations and stuff are not even on here".

Inside the store

Rob Nelson demonstrating a store robbery to Famitsu

We approach through the back entrance so we won't be spotted, but kicking the door down would trigger the alarm. We have a snap gun — a special lock-picking tool — so let's sneak inside instead.

Destroy the security cameras and nobody can see you; disable the security system and the alarm stays off. Then you can quietly empty the register and walk out with nobody knowing.

Some stores hide a safe in the back room. The code comes three ways: work it out, overhear a pedestrian, or have a fence text it to you — TGG watched a fence text one to Nelson.

Clerks, store security and customers can try to be the hero if they see you slacking. TGG saw it several times, so no two robberies play the same.

One Extended Look hold-up is at a Food Mart with a rusted sign: Jason and Lucia, faces hidden by bandanas, face a cashier holding a shotgun behind protective glass, then run, according to GTA 6 Hub.

  • 01 / Heists

    GTA 6 robberies

    GTA 6 robberies work on any store: back door, snap gun, kill cameras and alarm, crack the safe, then bank the cash or fence the loot. Solo or with Lucia.

  • 02 / Heists

    Jewelry stores

    Jewelry stores are a higher GTA 6 robbery tier: strong security, solo or as a pair, a map blip with an estimated take, and a jewelry fence.

  • 03 / Heists

    Banks

    Banks are a GTA 6 robbery tier: small banks alone or as a pair, payday loan places as smaller targets, and Raul Bautista's story bank jobs.

  • 04 / Heists

    Compounds

    GTA 6 has "lots and lots" of gang compounds to raid for drugs or cash, found through the story, tips or exploring. One is Ultimate Edition only.

  • 05 / Heists

    GTA 6 heists

    GTA 6 has 4 free-roam robbery tiers — stores, jewelers, banks, compounds — plus story heists with Raul. Loot goes to fences.

Confirmed so far

  • Any store can be robbed (Rob Nelson).
  • Back entrance, snap gun, cameras and alarm can be handled quietly (Rob Nelson).
  • Safe codes can come from a fence (TGG hands-on).

Still unknown: The payout of a store robbery — TGG's couple-thousand guess is a guess.
