Doomsday Heist in GTA Online: All you need to know

Once players soldier through the first few Heists in GTA Online, they finally stand on the precipice of the big leagues.

After making money in the initial few Heists in the game, gamers should have enough money to buy a Facility and take on one of the craziest Heists in the game.

At the time of the Heist's release, the Doomsday Heist was the most ambitious in GTA Online and set the bar for future title updates. It wasn't just a one-and-done, as it played out in 3 Acts, meaning the stakes would get bigger with each Act and escalate into chaos and madness.

The Doomsday Heist remains a favorite of the community despite newer ones popping up. The reason being its endlessly replayable quality and the sheer over-the-top nature of the events that unfold.

The Doomsday Heist: Payout, setup, and more

After purchasing the Facility, a cutscene will play out as Lester contacts the protagonist for a massive Heist. This marks the player moving into the big leagues in GTA Online.

To get started, they will need to do a couple of missions to further the setup missions. They can choose to procure the required equipment through Freemode tasks or buy it for a hefty sum.

It is more time consuming, but ultimately more rewarding, to get the equipment needed in the setup from the Freemode. Each Act of the Heist has an average of 4-5 Freemode Prep missions but shouldn't take too long to complete and aren't necessarily all that difficult.

Payout:

• • ­Act I: $325,000 - $812,500
• • ­Act II: $475,000 - $1,187,500
• • ­Act III: $1,200,000 - $1,500,000

Players required: 2-4

The Planning Room will act as the base of operations for the Doomsday Heist inside the Facility, similar to the Planning Room in the High-End Apartment in GTA Online's last few Heists.
