Heist Finale

The heist finale is the climactic mission of a GTA Online heist — the actual robbery that follows all the prep work and pays out the large reward. It is where the cash is earned, and the host can set how the take is split among the crew.

Finales are the reason heists are the go-to legitimate big earner, but most require completing the heist setups first and, for team heists, coordinating several players. That time and coordination is part of why some players prefer a pre-loaded account over grinding finales repeatedly.
