Making money is easy in the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, but you can take advantage of some strategies to rake in cash even faster.

The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid in GTA Online can net you $500,000 following the completion of the heist. All of this cash is earned through stealing the cartel’s cocaine at the chicken factory and returning it to Vincent.
As with any heist in GTA Online, you can complete the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid over and over again (after a short cooldown). This means you have a concrete source of $500,000 as long as you keep completing the six missions in the heist. If you want to truly maximize your earnings potential with the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, though, you need to use some key strategies that allow you to finish the raid in under an hour.
Check out the guide below to see the fastest way to complete the raid.
There are a few specific strategies you need to take advantage of if you want to complete the raid as quickly as possible and make a lot of money fast. I do recommend you run the raid a couple of times first to fully understand the missions, but these strategies can be used on your first run as well. You can read our complete walkthrough of the raid to see how each mission is completed in-depth.
Below, I’ll go through the missions one-by-one and offer the fastest way to complete them. If done correctly, the raid should only take you roughly 50 minutes to an hour to finish. Every time you complete the raid, you walk away with $500,000, so this is a solid way to essentially make $1 million every two hours in GTA Online.
First and foremost, you have the Slush Fund mission, which doesn’t really have any set strategies to go along with it. However, for this mission and all future missions, I recommend playing on “Easy Difficulty.” You earn the same amount of cash at the end of the raid regardless of what difficulty you play on, so to be as fast as possible, you need to ensure the enemies can be killed quickly. You won’t earn the same amount of RP, though, so if that’s important to you, play on “Normal Difficulty.”
In Slush Fund, all that is needed is to drive to the money laundering building, go in, empty the dryers of money and then leave to return to the Vespucci Police Station. There’s no necessity to engage with the enemies, as they start the chase once you’ve left anyway.
Once more, there’s no real “quick” method to finish this mission. However, it’s recommended to remember the location of the Terrorbyte and laptop, so that their sites can be easily reached once the mission starts. For the Terrorbyte part of the mission, powerful weapons are advisable to swiftly destroy the drones. Regular machine guns may struggle with this task.
Regarding the laptop, it’s simple: just grab it from the bench near the owner and sprint back to your vehicle to drive to the train yard. Within the train yard, finding a reliable method to acquire the Train Key hasn’t yet been discovered. In most cases, it’s usually dropped by an enemy in the center of the yard, by the trailer and the red crate. However, it might differ for others, so continue defeating enemies until it’s found.
The remainder of the mission can’t be sped up from its usual pace. Just ensure survival in the train and use your hacking device at the correct moments.
Let the tactics begin. For the Concealed Weapons mission, your target should be exclusively Point C. There is no need to waste time on other locations as Point C possesses superior weapons and equipment. However, it’s crucial to be ready with either a well-armored or rapid vehicle before making your move towards Point C.
Point C, being the base of the militia, is situated at the airport. Inside the hangar, you will find the weapons and the gear is scattered on the tarmac. Initiate your action plan by driving directly inside the hangar, secure the weapons, then proceed to the tarmac. Collect the gear and exit the scene without engaging with foes unless absolutely necessary.
Though it’s significantly easier to acquire weapons and gear from Point A, the armor available there is only of Light Armor classification. This could spell trouble in future scenarios, particularly for solo players, as adversaries’ strength start to escalate. With the right vehicle in hand, Point C can become an equally swift option, plus you will be equipped with advanced gear.
Knowledge is the key to save time in the Hit and Run mission, one of the most crucial tasks in the raid. Your destination for this mission should be Point A, which is controlled by the Marabunta Grande gang. Your choice of vehicle for this mission is irrelevant as you will be switching to a new escape vehicle soon.
When you reach Point A, head directly for the garage which is located across the street from the motel. On the right side of the garage, there’s a grey electrical box situated midway up the wall. Use your vehicle to shoot the box, and this will open the garage door to reveal the getaway car.
The getaway vehicle could be different cars, in my case, it was a Declasse Tulip. Hop into the vehicle that is waiting for you and exit the garage, neglecting the opposition. Once you’re in the car, proceed towards the train tracks. The train tracks are located beyond the refinery and northwards of the garage. Follow the road until you spot the train tracks. Make your way to these tracks and then follow them in a westerly direction. Following this route prevents enemy cars from tailing you and it’s also a faster way to reach Vincent’s garage.
The fifth task is relatively simple. It’s important to have a speedy car before you set out on this mission. Your first target is to hack the first van that you encounter and then immediately move on to the second van. Two things to do with this second van. First, kill the driver and any other passenger after you’ve successfully hacked it. Doing this allows you to dress up in a Cluckin’ Bell uniform, making the next segment of the mission easier.
In the uniform, make your way to the cartel’s garage. This is best done using a silenced weapon. Begin by quietly eliminating the guards and then proceed to sabotage the trucks located near the killed guards. The trucks can be sabotaged by going over to the hood and dislodging a wire.
Complete the sabotage of all five trucks, then advance towards the rear of the garage where the CCTV footage should be wiped out. This step is crucial for a smooth final mission.
During the ultimate, sixth phase of the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, your mission is to infiltrate the chicken factory for a cocaine heist from the cartel. Your prior deletion of the CCTV footage will enable you to go undetected into the factory—an essential perk since you’ll quickly be overwhelmed by the factory guards without it.
Upon accessing the factory, head towards the room located on the warehouse’s right side. In this particular space, scout for the Office Keys, placed on a desk to the right. Proceed towards the back and locate the basement. Deal with the guards and scientists inside and then proceed with collecting the cocaine found on various shelves and desks.
Leave the basement and navigate further back to find a garage operated through a keypad situated on the right side of its gate. Locate and pick a crowbar from the garage’s back right and use it to open the middle container alone, as the other containers are purposeless.
Exit the garage and then go to the office, using your Office Keys to open the door. Utilize your hacker tool to access the three computers located in the subsequent chamber then punch in the vault code: 59, 97, 98. Secure the stolen goods inside and navigate to the furthest point of the factory. Overpower the two electrical circulation boxes to actuate the garage door and then run towards your escape vehicle.
Once inside the vehicle, you must steer directly onto the train tracks, ensuring to drive to the right. This route will be in contrast to your quest marker direction, but there is no need to be concerned about that. Maintain your course along the railway tracks and ephemeraldly, you will notice that the police pursuit will cease to trail you. Eventually, you will need to deviate from the tracks as they cross Vincent’s lockup. However, by then, you will have reached close enough proximity to your final destination that this detour won’t matter.
This brings us to the conclusion of the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, implementing these strategies, I managed to accomplish the raid in approximately 55 minutes. This timeframe could have potentially been shorter had I not squandered time in exterminating some foes.
