The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid: the complete guide

The Cluckin Bell Farm Raid arrived in March 2024 and quietly became the best on-ramp GTA Online has: a full six-mission robbery with no property to buy, no setup fees and a proper payday at the end. Since July 2026 its finale also carries the weekly first-completion boost, which turned a one-and-done story job into a standing Thursday appointment. If you are new, skint, or bringing a mate into the game, start here.

This guide is the full run: how it starts, each of the six missions as a walkthrough, the Scene of the Crime finale step by step, then the payout as it actually splits and every unlock the raid leaves behind.

Step 1: answer the phone

• Wait for the freemode call from Vincent Effenburger, the Diamond Casino head of security turned LSPD officer, or start the job from your phone
• Meet him at the Vespucci Police Station and take the deal: help him take down the cartel running its operation out of the Cluckin Bell factory in Paleto Bay
• Bring nobody or up to three others. One to four players throughout, and not one of you needs to own anything

Step 2: Slush Fund

• Hit the first marked money-laundering business and take the counterfeit cash
• Do the same at the second
• Deliver the lot to Vincent lockup, the abandoned FIB facility that becomes your base for the rest of the job
• This unlocks Dispatch Work in freemode and puts the Gauntlet Interceptor up for purchase, and finishing as leader carries its own award

Step 3: Breaking and Entering

• Lift the laptop holding the cartel operational picture
• Raid the heavily guarded Terrorbyte for the hacking device, and take it calmly: the Terrorbyte being destroyed fails the mission outright
• Acquire the freight train, because Vincent has a plan and the plan has rails
• Deliver everything back to the lockup

Step 4: Concealed Weapons

• Pick the target carefully and keep your tracks covered on the way in
• Lift the weapons and gear the raid needs, a spread running from combat pistols and SMGs up to heavy shotguns, an MG and pipe bombs
• Steal every piece in one playthrough for the All the Sides award, which is exactly the kind of pointless completionism this desk respects

Step 5: Hit and Run

• Choose the getaway vehicle from the pool on offer, which includes the Raiden, Terminus, Patriot Mil-Spec and Squaddie among others
• Take the fast one for an easier finale, or take all of them across one playthrough for the Fly The Coop award
• Get it back clean: unconnected and untraceable is the whole brief

Step 6: Disorganized Crime

• Cut the cartel supply lines as marked
• Come away with the cocaine storage keycard, the item that opens the finale
• Pick up the trade price on the Cluckin Bell Benson along the way
• Scene of the Crime is now unlocked

Step 7: Scene of the Crime, the finale

Vincent ships you into the factory concealed in a crate, which is exactly as dignified as it sounds. From the moment you climb out:

• Head into the factory grounds and locate the first coke storage area
• Open it with the keycard from Disorganized Crime, steal the cocaine, and get out clean
• Move to the second storage area, keycard again, and search the crates for the rest
• Get to the office and hack the computer
• Use the hacking device to pull the safe code, then empty the safe
• Leave the factory and reach the getaway vehicle you sourced in Hit and Run
• Drive the loot back to Vincent lockup

The finale supports both temperaments: a stealth clear earns the Sly Fox award, a loud one earns Cockfight, and the sensible read is stealth through the storage areas, then stop pretending once the office is done. Solo is entirely doable; a crew makes the storage splits faster and the drive home funnier.

The reference layer: what it pays, honestly

• The finale pays GTA$500,000 to the host and GTA$50,000 to each associate, so the button-presser gets the payday and the crew gets a tip
• Two one-time awards square that up: GTA$250,000 for finishing as leader and GTA$250,000 for finishing as a goon, so a first run pays serious money whichever seat you took
• Every mission in the chain pays modestly on completion
• Since July 2026 the first Scene of the Crime completion each week pays a substantially boosted rate, resetting every Thursday
• Unlocks along the way: Dispatch Work from Slush Fund onwards, the Gauntlet Interceptor purchasable then trade-priced after the finale, and the Cluckin Bell Benson trade price from Disorganized Crime

Finding a crew

You can run the whole raid alone, but it was written for a crew, and GTA Online has no crossplay, so that crew shares your platform. The SixCentral Heist Finder has the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid on the board, Xbox and PS5 kept separate, one tap to join and your gamertag straight to the host. It runs in our Discord, which opens from your account page, and the online desk lives at sixcentral.co.uk/online.

Free to start, half a million to finish, boosted on Thursdays, and the friendliest teacher in Los Santos. There is no cleverer first evening in GTA Online.
