Role in the story

In The Merryweather Heist, Trevor steals a device the company is holding, either from a docked freighter or by diving to a container offshore. In Minor Turbulence Trevor hijacks a Merryweather cargo plane, and in Derailed he and Michael rob one of its trains. A Merryweather team joins the battle at the Kortz Center in The Wrap Up, and Devin sends its soldiers to attack Michael's family in Meltdown. Merryweather forces also oppose the crew during The Big Score. In The Third Way, the protagonists ambush and wipe out a Merryweather team at the foundry.

Relations with other gangs

Merryweather has no street gang allies. It works for paying clients such as Devin Weston and is hostile to the protagonists for most of the game.
