Even with Grand Theft Auto Online’s new Career Builder feature on next-gen systems, players should focus their time on completing Heists instead of running businesses. The new GTA Online Career Builder feature acts as a guide that cancels out any disadvantage that may be had between players of different levels. While it does offer more options, that’s all it should be primarily used for until the ability to perform heists is unlocked.

When starting the enhanced version of GTA Online, players have the option to either transfer over their character or create a new one and enter the Career Builder. Doing this grants the user $4 million, with the catch that $3 million of it can only go to buying business, vehicles, and weapons. In reality, $1 million can only go so far in GTA Online, as properties and other items can be very expensive.

Running a business in GTA Online is more of a chore than entertaining, whereas Heists include electrifying set-pieces and can be replayed without having to worry about a lobby full of strangers. Doing missions related to a player’s business is time-consuming as they have to be performed multiple times just to earn a profit, essentially turning GTA Online into a massive grind. To possibly make it worse, other players can intervene and attack each other which can result in failure, making any progress made a waste of time.

GTA Online Heists Reward More Than Businesses

Instead of performing business-related tasks, new players should save up as much money as possible and buy a luxury apartment in Los Santos so they can start running heist missions. These are considered to be the number one method to making money and combating inflation in GTA Online as of right now. Not only that, but heists, in general, can prove to be a fun time, especially when a crew works well together and has great chemistry.

The Cayo Perico and Doomsday heists are examples of missions with a great payout and don’t take up too much time to get together. While certain heists do have set-up missions that can be griefed by other online players, the earlier ones can all be completed without interference from a random player in a public lobby. Also, even if players do have to restart, it takes less time to replay the public set-up missions compared to re-doing a business-related task again. With that in mind, while both businesses and heists in Grand Theft Auto Online include somewhat of a grindy element, the latter tend to be much more rewarding and enjoyable to play.
