GTA 5 has an amazing storyline that will take everyone on a thrilling ride. But, there are some instances where players must earn serious cash to complete a mission. While grabbing money from the stores is always an option, there are some other great ways to increase the profit and purchase anything in the game.

But, only a limited amount of things can generate good money in the story mode, unlike the online multiplayer. This article ranks the top five ways to earn more cash in GTA 5 story mode.


Ranking the five best ways to earn money in GTA 5

5) Raiding the stores

Gamers looking for some quick cash in GTA 5 offline can use the numerous stores across Los Santos. It is very easy to do and can be done by playing as any of the game's three protagonists. Hold-ups are an easy way to get money in the game without hassle.

Unlike other methods, players must enter a shop and aim their gun at the cashier. If this does not work, then shoot around the person several times to increase the intimidation. Once this happens, the cashier will empty all the cash for the players to take.

Players can use this method to rob stores, including clothing, gas stations, ammunition stores, and general stores. Note that some store cashiers can be armed and will resist. But it's not a problem that a couple of rounds of bullets cannot solve.


4) Weed farms

Unlike the mission in San Andreas, where players had to grow and harvest the weed crop to earn money, GTA 5 has a specific spot where it's possible to raid a weed farm and loot the cash. This is an easy yet effective way for new players to earn money in the game.

All they need to do is switch to Trevor and raid the weed farm in the Mount Chiliad region, kill a couple of guards, and take the money from the shed. This whole mission can be repeated since the guards and the money respawn after 48 hours (in-game time).

The payout of the raid can be random, but it will always be around $60k-$70k. This is quite an amount of cash for beginners in GTA 5, considering the process can be repeated.


3) Heists

GTA 5 story mode has a couple of heists that they will need to complete if they wish to progress the plot. They are one of the best ways to earn big money in the game. Since these heists are also a part of the main storyline, players won't need to wander around Los Santos to find them.

There are five heists that players can participate in the game. Out of them, the Jewel Store Job, the Paleto Score, and the Big Score are the highest-paying missions that will earn at least a couple of million dollars.

Since these are plot-driven heists, players will always have at least two protagonists, allowing them to utilize their special skills during the missions. With the GTA 6 trailer just around the corner, players expect more such thrilling missions in the upcoming game.


2) Collectibles

Players can find many rare collectible items hidden all across Los Santos in GTA 5 offline. While some items, like the submarine, are easier to spot, others can get a little challenging.

But since these are not timed challenges, players can keep completing missions and exploring the city while keeping an eye out for these items. Since there are around 50 collectibles, it will take some time for the players to reach 100% achievement.

But, collecting these items is quite profitable and will allow the players to earn some good cash without putting themselves in danger.


1) Assassination missions

Lester is a great friend who helps the players with the main missions and provides some good opportunities to earn more cash. This makes him one of the best characters in GTA 5. Franklin will receive these missions from Lester, generally including killing off some CEO or stockholder.

Completing the tasks will earn Frankling a couple of thousand dollars for quick cash. Doing so will also get Franklin and Lester closer. But there is another opportunity to earn even more.

Players can invest in the Grand Theft Auto stock market just before completing the missions to increase the stock's value. All three characters in the game can perform this action, making the players rich.
