Quick answer: The GTA Online weekly update for November 5–11, 2026 is the Heist Event. Your first Cayo Perico Heist of the week is guaranteed to roll the Panther Statue (GTA$1,900,000, or GTA$2,090,000 on Hard Mode), your first Kortz Center Heist is guaranteed to roll The Outcome of Endeavour, and the first-time completion bonuses are doubled on all Original Heists, every Doomsday Heist act, the Diamond Casino Heist and KnoWay Out. Also live: 3X GTA$ & RP on Mansion Raid, a GTA$100,000 Weekly Challenge for winning one Adversary Mode, and 40% off Facilities, High-End Apartments and the Casino Master Penthouse. Everything runs through Wednesday, November 11 and resets on Thursday, November 12.
The Panther Statue is the highest-value Cayo Perico primary target and normally only appears during Rockstar events, and The Outcome of Endeavour was previously locked to players who hit Elitist status in the Fine Art Collector program. Below is the full update, which heists actually got the 2X, and a money route that gets the most out of seven days.
What's in the GTA Online weekly update for November 5–11, 2026?
Rockstar's Heist Event Newswire post sets out the week: "Get in, get out, and make a killing in this week's GTA Online Heist Event... earn doubled first-time completion bonuses for completing all the Original Heists, The Doomsday Heist, and The Diamond Casino Heist." On the Kortz Center it adds: "To commemorate The Kortz Center Heist's inaugural Heist Event, you and your accomplices are guaranteed to find The Outcome of Endeavour — previously only available to those who reached Elitist status in this summer's Fine Art Collector program." The full listing is mirrored by u/PapaXan in the r/gtaonline weekly thread and by GTABase.
| Bonus | Reward | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Play GTA Online this week | The Great Circle Back painting (Mansion decoration) | November 11 |
| First Cayo Perico Heist run | Panther Statue guaranteed as the primary target | November 11 |
| First Kortz Center Heist run | The Outcome of Endeavour guaranteed | November 11 |
| Original Heists, Doomsday (all acts), Diamond Casino Heist | 2X GTA$ first-time completion bonus | November 11 |
| KnoWay Out | 2X GTA$ on your first completion | November 11 |
| Mansion Raid | 3X GTA$ & RP | November 11 |
| Community Race Series | 2X rewards | November 11 |
| Weekly Challenge: win an Adversary Mode | GTA$100,000 | November 11 |
| Facilities, High-End Apartments, Casino Master Penthouse | 40% off (plus Facility and Penthouse upgrades) | November 11 |
The week's FIB Priority File is The Black Box File. The reddit thread is titled "November 5th to November 12th" because the subreddit counts to the reset day; Rockstar's own copy says the painting, the property sale and the Veleno GT discount run through November 11.
Which heists pay 2X this week, and which don't?
The doubled bonus is on the first-time completion bonus, not on every run. Since Title Update 1.73 (July 14, 2026), these finales pay a weekly completion bonus, and this week Rockstar doubles it. The key detail is that eligibility follows the host: Rockstar's patch notes say the bonus increases rewards "for all players if the host has not yet completed the associated Finale in the current weekly period." So a host's second Casino Heist of the week pays the reduced repeat rate for the whole crew, but you can earn the boosted payout again as a guest by joining a host who hasn't run that finale yet this week.
Doubled this week (first completion only):
- Original Heists: The Fleeca Job, The Prison Break, The Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding, The Pacific Standard Job
- The Doomsday Heist: all three acts
- The Diamond Casino Heist
- KnoWay Out: 2X GTA$ on your first completion, November 5–11
Not doubled: The Cayo Perico Heist and The Kortz Center Heist. Both get a guaranteed best target instead (below). Rockstar has never published the exact size of the weekly first-completion bonus, so treat any "exact 2X payout" figure you see quoted elsewhere as a community estimate. For the base finale values, see our Doomsday Heist payouts and Diamond Casino Heist payout breakdowns.
Property check before you plan: The Doomsday Heist is run from a Facility, and the Original Heists are hosted from a High-End Apartment planning room. Both property types are 40% off this week, which is exactly why Rockstar put them on sale. If you only join other players' heists, you don't need either.
How much is the Panther Statue worth this week?
The Panther Statue is worth GTA$1,900,000 on Normal and GTA$2,090,000 on Hard Mode, the highest primary target in The Cayo Perico Heist. Rockstar says you are "guaranteed to find the Panther Statue on the premises upon first approach", so your first Cayo run of the week is the one that counts. Repeat runs go back to the normal target rotation.
| Cayo Perico primary target | Normal | Hard Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Panther Statue (event only) | GTA$1,900,000 | GTA$2,090,000 |
| Pink Diamond | GTA$910,000 | GTA$1,001,000 |
| Bearer Bonds | GTA$616,000 | GTA$677,600 |
| Ruby Necklace | GTA$560,000 | GTA$616,000 |
| Sinsimito Tequila | GTA$400,000 | GTA$440,000 |
The Panther pays roughly double the Pink Diamond after the July 2026 Cayo value cuts. A solo Hard Mode run lands around GTA$2.1 to 2.2 million once Madrazo's and Pavel's 12% comes off and you add one full secondary bag (cocaine is the solo ceiling, since the gold rooms need two players). That estimate covers the primary and secondary loot only; it does not count the Elite Challenge bonus, office-safe cash or any setup costs. Values and the full loot table: Cayo Perico loot values 2026. Last time the statue came back, we covered the run in detail: Panther Statue return guide.
Run it on Hard Mode if you can. Hard Mode adds 10% to the primary, which is GTA$190,000 extra on the Panther.
What is The Outcome of Endeavour in the Kortz Center Heist?
The Outcome of Endeavour is a Kortz Center Heist primary target painting that until now was only obtainable by players who reached Elitist status in the summer's Fine Art Collector program. This week every player is guaranteed to find it on their first Kortz Center Heist attempt.
This week's Kortz Center Heist primary targets are:
- The Outcome of Endeavour (guaranteed on your first run)
- To Beat About the Bush
- Hare Oneself Think
- True Love
Rockstar hasn't published the painting's sale value, so we won't guess one. For scale, the first-run-of-the-week Kortz result screens logged by GTA BOOM came in between GTA$1,587,994 and GTA$1,809,000 depending on target and difficulty. Remember the Kortz Center needs a Mansion with the Art Studio to host; you can join someone else's run without either.

What's the best way to make money in GTA Online this week?
A suggested heist-first priority order for November 5–11, biggest guaranteed scores first:
- Log in for The Great Circle Back painting. Free.
- Cayo Perico Heist, first run, Hard Mode if possible. The guaranteed Panther Statue is the biggest confirmed primary target value on offer this week at up to GTA$2,090,000 for the primary alone (Rockstar hasn't valued The Outcome of Endeavour). Solo-friendly.
- Kortz Center Heist, first run. The Outcome of Endeavour is guaranteed. If you own a Mansion with the Art Studio, this is your second big score of the week.
- Diamond Casino Heist, first completion. The doubled first-time bonus lands on top of a finale that was already one of the best first-of-the-week payouts. Needs an Arcade to host and works with two players.
- Doomsday Heist acts, first completion each. Each of the three acts gets the doubled bonus. Needs a Facility to host, which is 40% off this week.
- KnoWay Out, first completion. 2X GTA$, solo-runnable, no expensive property.
- Original Heists if you have a full crew. Fleeca needs two players; the other four finales need four.
- Win one round of Mansion Raid. It pays 3X GTA$ & RP this week, and since Mansion Raid is an Adversary Mode, a win there should also tick the GTA$100,000 Weekly Challenge. Confirm the challenge shows as complete before you move on.
Rockstar's newswire points crews to the #the-heist-board channel on the official Rockstar Games Discord for finding teammates, which is the easiest way to fill four-player Original Heists. For a full ranking of every heist after the July changes, see best GTA Online heists ranked.
Is a Facility worth buying at 40% off this week?
Yes, if you want to host The Doomsday Heist and don't own one yet. A Facility is the only way to host Doomsday, and this week every Facility plus its upgrades and modifications is 40% off. Base prices on the GTA Wiki run from GTA$1,250,000 to GTA$2,950,000, which works out to roughly GTA$750,000 to GTA$1,770,000 at 40% off. Location doesn't change the heist, so the cheapest one does the job.
The Casino Master Penthouse starts at GTA$1,500,000 (about GTA$900,000 at 40% off) and its upgrades are discounted too. It's a lifestyle property rather than a money-maker, so buy it for the extras, not as a heist requirement. High-End Apartments are the one to grab if you plan to host the Original Heists.
What cars are discounted and free this week?
Grotti Veleno GT, 25% off for the first time. Rockstar's copy says Legendary Motorsport is selling the Veleno GT (Super) at 25% off through November 11, "a first for this concept car originally envisioned to spin slowly and gracefully at exotic motor shows."

| Vehicle | Full price | Sale price |

What's coming after the Heist Event?
Rockstar has already dated the next block in the same Newswire post. From November 12 through December 2:
- All Contact Missions pay Double Rewards, including Madrazo's Dispatch Services, Gerald's Last Play, Premium Deluxe Repo Work and Lowriders (4X for GTA+ members)
- Freemode Challenges pay 4X GTA$ and RP

FAQ
When does the GTA Online Heist Event end? The bonuses run from Thursday, November 5 through Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The next weekly reset is Thursday, November 12, when the Contact Missions event starts.
Is the Panther Statue guaranteed in Cayo Perico this week? Yes. Rockstar guarantees the Panther Statue as the primary target on your first Cayo Perico Heist run of the week. It is worth GTA$1,900,000 on Normal and GTA$2,090,000 on Hard Mode.
Does Cayo Perico get 2X money this week? No. The doubled first-time completion bonus covers the Original Heists, The Doomsday Heist, The Diamond Casino Heist and KnoWay Out. Cayo Perico's bonus this week is the guaranteed Panther Statue.
How do I get The Outcome of Endeavour? Run The Kortz Center Heist between November 5 and 11. Your first attempt this week is guaranteed to have The Outcome of Endeavour as the primary target, with no Fine Art Collector Elitist status needed.
Can I get the doubled heist bonus more than once this week? Yes, as a guest. The weekly completion bonus depends on whether the host has already completed that finale this week, so joining a different host who hasn't run it yet pays the boosted rate again. Hosting the same finale a second time pays the reduced repeat rate.
What is this week's GTA Online Weekly Challenge? Win an Adversary Mode for GTA$100,000. Mansion Raid pays 3X GTA$ and RP this week, so it is the best Adversary Mode to win it in.
How do I get The Great Circle Back painting? Log in to GTA Online any time through November 11. It is a decoration for your Mansion.
