Previews describe four main income streams in GTA 6: stealing and fencing cars, robbing stores and businesses, cracking safes, and bank heists. Money also gates parts of the story.
Income streams at a glance
| Stream | How it works (reported) | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Car theft | Steal, scan with WAINK, sell to a fence | Trackers can alert police |
| Store & business robberies | Quick cash, raises heat | Witnesses, cameras |
| Safes | Blow (fast) or crack (keeps full value) | Explosions damage valuables |
| Bank heists | Crew jobs with Raul Bautista | High stakes, high reward |
Why money matters more this time
