Complete activity guide

Rockstar confirms the catalogue and Terrorbyte functions. Exact base bands and cooldowns come from convergent secondary sources (confidence B), so the card remains informational.

Start here

Terrorbyte Client Jobs

Start here

Buy any Nightclub from Maze Bank Foreclosures, then the Terrorbyte from Warstock. Request it through Services → Terrorbyte, enter the Nerve Center and use Paige's large touchscreen.

Access and requirements

A Nightclub starts at $1,080,000 and the Terrorbyte costs $1,375,000 according to current secondary sources. Register as VIP/CEO/MC President. The reported $815,000 Drone Station is mandatory only for Targeted Data and Diamond Shopping.

If the start is missing

If Warstock blocks the Terrorbyte, complete the Nightclub purchase and introduction. If the two drone jobs are greyed out, renovate the Terrorbyte with the Drone Station; the other four should not require that module.

01 • First completion, step by step

First completion, step by step

01
Request and position the Terrorbyte
ACTION
Register as a Boss, request the Terrorbyte on a wide street and park so you can leave the Nerve Center quickly after launch.
TIP
Choose Robbery in Progress for the first run—it needs neither the Drone Station nor a partner.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
The interior can be unavailable during another Job or when the vehicle is in an invalid position.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
End the active work, return the Terrorbyte to storage and request it again on a road.
02
Read the job gates
ACTION
On the screen distinguish four Client Jobs from two Client Challenges. Do not select a drone job without the module or a challenge without a second player.
TIP
Paige displays the reason for a lock without requiring a guessed purchase.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
A failed gate stops launch before the actual briefing.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
Choose Robbery in Progress/Data Sweep or invite a partner/buy the module according to the message.
03
Launch and identify the target
ACTION
After the briefing use cameras, scanner or drone only until the correct target is identified; then leave the Terrorbyte and travel directly to the marker.
TIP
Mark the target before leaving the seat, especially when it is moving.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
Scanning for too long reduces the time left for theft and delivery.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
If the system loses signal, return to the last confirmed area and repeat only the required scan.
04
Recover the cargo
ACTION
Clear the bank, vehicle, store or meet; collect gold, data, diamonds or antiques and immediately set an escape route.
TIP
In co-op one player carries the objective while the other clears police and roadblocks.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
The carrier drops the bag on death, and leaving without it does not progress the job.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
Clear the drop location from range, collect the item with a surviving player and continue from the preserved checkpoint.
05
Lose pursuit and deliver
ACTION
Break line of sight from police/rivals, deliver the objective to the client and remain in the Job until full settlement.
TIP
Tunnels and switching vehicles help only after securing the bag; do not leave the objective in the first vehicle.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
Delivery while actively wanted may not open the final prompt.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
Leave the area, lose the wanted level and return to the drop-off with the objective still carried.
06
Observe the cooldown
ACTION
After completion return to the Terrorbyte screen. Secondary sources report about 30 minutes before repeating the same ordinary Job and about 5 minutes before a different one; Client Challenges have separately reported timing.
TIP
Rotate different jobs rather than trying to reset the lock by changing session.
RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
Changing session does not guarantee a shorter lockout and can lose the last result.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
Wait until the terminal reports availability; after an aborted Job do not assume a duration without an on-screen status.

02 • Variants and mechanics

Variants and mechanics

Robbery in Progress

1–4

Terrorbyte • no Drone Station.

OBJECTIVE: Identify the active bank robbery, recover the gold and deliver it to the client.
MECHANIC: Cycle bank cameras until the armed crew is found, travel there, eliminate the robbers, take the bag and lose the police.
COMPLETION: The gold reaches the final drop-off.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: After death the bag remains on the ground; clear the entrance and recover it rather than rescanning every camera.

Data Sweep

1–4

Terrorbyte • no Drone Station.

OBJECTIVE: Find the vehicle carrying the correct data, steal the drives and deliver them.
MECHANIC: Move into range of each moving target, perform the phone hack from the Terrorbyte/vehicle, identify the correct transport, stop it and take the data.
COMPLETION: The data drive reaches the client after pursuit is lost.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: If a target escapes use the map and a fast vehicle; after destroying the wrong car continue scanning rather than abandoning the Job.

Targeted Data

1–4

Terrorbyte + Drone Station.

OBJECTIVE: Breach the Lifeinvader network, identify the target and carry out the hit.
MECHANIC: Deploy the drone, enter the office, hack the marked laptops, identify the target, leave drone control and travel to the hit.
COMPLETION: The correct target is eliminated after the confirmed hack.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: If the drone is destroyed wait for it to return or take a safer approach; an alert does not remove the target but increases security.

Diamond Shopping

1–4

Terrorbyte + Drone Station.

OBJECTIVE: Disable Vangelico's alarm with the drone, take the diamonds and deliver them.
MECHANIC: Fly the drone into the store, stun the alarm panel, enter on foot, remove security, collect the diamonds and lose the police.
COMPLETION: The diamonds reach the client after the wanted level is lost.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: If the drone fails to disable the alarm the job can still be finished by assault; prepare an armoured vehicle and lose the police before delivery.

Collector's Pieces

2–4 • Client Challenge

At least 2 Organization members • no Drone Station requirement.

OBJECTIVE: Locate three security vans and recover the antiques before the challenge ends.
MECHANIC: Use the signal scanner to reveal vehicles, split the team across interceptions, breach three vans and collect every package.
COMPLETION: The team delivers/secures the required antiques and the challenge settles the result.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: After destroying a van mark dropped packages, regroup on the nearest one and do not leave one player carrying everything under full pursuit.

Deal Breaker

2–4 • Client Challenge

At least 2 Organization members • no Drone Station requirement.

OBJECTIVE: Locate the illicit deal, seize the briefcase and deliver it to the client.
MECHANIC: Scan signals, narrow down the meet location, attack buyers/sellers, collect the case and break through to the drop-off.
COMPLETION: The case reaches the client and the challenge settles for the team.
HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN: If the carrier dies the cover player recovers the case; another player draws pursuit rather than everyone retracing the same route.

03 • Real roles / Strategies

Real roles i Strategies

Real roles

Nerve Center operator

Identifies the target through cameras, scanner or drone and marks it for the team before leaving.

Real roles

Carrier

Carries gold, data, diamonds, antiques or the briefcase and prioritises reaching the drop-off.

Real roles

Cover / interceptor

A real challenge role: intercepts additional vans, handles pursuit and recovers a dropped objective.

SAFE FIRST RUN

Start with Robbery in Progress, park the Terrorbyte near the centre of the map and finish one job without rushing. Buy the Drone Station only for the two explicitly gated jobs.

ADVANCED

Rotate different Client Jobs while the same entry is locked; in two-player Challenges split scanning/interception from carrying so the whole team does not travel between every target.

04 • Reward and economic status

Reported about $30,000–35,000 solo • $20,000–25,000 challenge

These are convergent secondary base-completion bands: four ordinary Jobs pay for the objective while the two Client Challenges settle the team under their own rules. No official complete table and no stable run time means no $/h ranking.

GTA$GTA$ ≈ 20 × (300 + mission unlock rank) × time × difficulty × players

Observed range specific to this activity; variant, result, duration or completion condition selects the value within it. Event multipliers are excluded.

B • community-reported

RPRP ≈ 9 × (100 + rank/2) × time × difficulty × targeting/players + action RP

The formula and roles apply to the stated settlement unit; event multipliers are excluded.

B • community-reported

Reported: about 30 minutes for the same ordinary job and 5 minutes for a different one; the Terrorbyte screen is authoritative after an aborted run.

CONFIDENCE: Catalogue/requirements A • figures and cooldown B

05 • Common mistakes and recovery

Common mistakes and recovery

Buying the Drone Station for all six

The module gates only Targeted Data and Diamond Shopping; the other four use different requirements.

A challenge will not launch solo

Collector's Pieces and Deal Breaker require at least two Organization members; choose an ordinary Client Job when alone.

The target was found but not delivered

Check who carries the bag and whether the wanted level is gone; scanning alone does not complete the operation.
