Series A Funding

Overview

Series A Funding is the fourth heist in the original GTA Online Heists update and the only one run for Trevor Philips. Instead of robbing a bank, the crew collects drugs from several gangs and suppliers across Los Santos and Blaine County so Trevor can close a deal, then protects and delivers the product in the finale.

Setup missions

The heist has five setups:

1. Coke – steal a cocaine shipment.
2. Trash Truck – take a trash truck that will be used to move product.
3. Bikers – raid a biker gang for its stash.
4. Weed – steal a weed shipment.
5. Steal Meth – take a meth delivery from rivals.

Approaches

There is a single approach in the finale, with the crew split into Van Driver, Technical Driver and Technical Gunner roles. The product is loaded into a van escorted by armed Technical pickups, and the crew must fight off attackers on the road while keeping the van alive.

Crew and tips

• The Technical gunner is the main defense: shoot enemy vehicles before they get close to the van.
• The van driver should drive steadily and avoid crashing into traffic, since the van is slow and fragile.
• Setups take the crew to many different gang territories; armor and body armor refills help on Hard.
• Several setups are noisy shootouts, so stocking up on ammo before starting saves time.

Payout

The potential take is $353,500 on Easy and $883,750 on Hard, split by the cuts chosen by the heist leader. Completing it also moves the crew on toward the final original heist, The Pacific Standard Job.
