The whole point of having GTA 5 heists is to get more GTA money and in the game, money plays a very important part.
Players can buy weapons, vehicles and other items. After players have finished playing some parts of the game they would normally want to max out.
Below is a guide that will help players to make some quick money courtesy VG247:
Tips to make some quick money in Heists:
Be the host - Though not everyone can be a host, players can take turn to be one. Hosts can decide on the pay percentage and the Pacific Standard Job with its final $1.25 million pay-out.
Play hard – If players play the game on the hard setting they will get 25% more cash and RP for increasing the difficulty level. The only problem here is players do not get reserve lives, but the rewards are too good to ignore.
Special Bonuses
The GTA 5 Online heists update has five special bonuses for its Jobs. Though all the jobs have good pay, they are one-time payments made only after the goal is achieved.
- First Time: Players get a $100,000 bonus for completing any heist for the first time. Eventually after completing through the entire heists set-up, player will get $500,000 in bonuses.
- All In Order Challenge: Though a harder challenge, players need to complete all the heists in their order. Such dedication will earn players $1 million. All you need is a group of dedicated players.
- Loyalty Challenge: If players stick with the same group of players for every challenge till the finale, they will be gaining $1 million in GTA money.
- Criminal Mastermind Challenge: The most difficult of the special challenges, players will be scooping out $10 million bonus if they are able to complete every challenge and finale in the order and with the same group of players, plus they should not lose any life.
- Another Perspective: Though its not completely clear on the payout, it is speculated that if players lock their camera option to first-person view before every job they take up, they will be awarded $100,000.

Agent 14 – The Mystery Character
When Heists update was released, it brought with it loads of features and along came a mysterious on-screen character Agent 14.
Nothing much is known about this Agent 14, and YouTube user MrBossFTW has released a video that asks exactly who this Agent 14 is and the mystery that surrounds him.
The original name for Agent 14 character was Jeff and it did not materialise for reasons unknown. There is no much information on him before the events of the GTA 5 Online and during one of the conversations with the protagonist says he is only a bystander trying to help. He is also seen tasking the players in a project that involved Niko Bellic's ex-girlfriend: Karen. He also has connections with the International Affairs Agency (IAA). The YouTube user speculated that this character could be part of the IAA. He also has a boss.
Lester warns at one place saying that Jeff is a dangerous man. The video also speaks about the Agent looking similar to one of the antagonists in Story mode, Steve Heynes who was a corrupt FIB agent. IAA and FIB are rival organisations.
Players successfully perform heists missions with him and after the set-up missions are over, they do not hear of Agent 14. The video wonders if he will come back in a future DLC, only time can tell.

RPG Glitch
YouTube user, Noah456 has found a RPG glitch and to activate it players need to have an RPG and go near a water body. Next get into the water while pointing the gun to the water. Get in so much that only a part of the tip of your RPG must be in water. Now once it is in water fire the RPG in the water.
Now players will see that the projectile will be launched sideways. The RPG spins off in a different direction and fires in the air. It is a funny thing to do in the game.
