You can also purchase everything in the game with money straight from your safe, so make sure to store often!
- This is a no brainer but grab every cash pile you see. While enemies typically drop money in the $50 range the piles you can find at enemy strongholds or throughout the city can hold much more. Some contain $20,000+.
- As soon as you get chance begin your work with Vito Scaletta. When you first unlock him as an associate he will give you the ability to call someone to pick up your money without having to return to a safe. This is very quick, easy to use and free. The sooner you have this the better.

Method #1 – Stealing Dead Drops & Following Bagmen
This method doesn’t become available until you progress through the story campaign and have all 3 main associates under your command. When you have the option to speak with Donovan at Barclay Mills, Tickfaw Harbor and Downtown. Speak with him at Downtown and you will unlock the ability to begin completing tasks to take this territory. There are 2 chains of events here – Construction and Blackmail. You want to begin the Blackmail one.
You will get two objectives, among others, which include Stealing Dead Drops and Following Bagmen. The Dead Drops are marked by an image that you’ll be shown during the mission, the placements aren’t fixed so just keep an eye out for it while you’re exploring Downtown, grabbing collectibles and finding the Bagmen.
The Following Bagmen is the money making objective. As you drive around the city you’ll come across a black car marked red on your mini-map. There are two men inside and you’re tasked with following. Follow until they reach the end of their route – typically it’s inside a carpark. A quick grenade will dispatch of all enemies, then simply pick up the cash bag on the floor. These can contain $3,000 – $5,000 at a time. You can find one every few minutes just exploring Downtown. Although not incredibly fast, if you don’t complete the over objectives it repeats. Making it a fantastic method to make money without progressing in the main story or relying on pickups.
Rob The Rackets
After you take the first three areas you will normally unlock a mission to Rob someone during your Racket take over. These missions typically have $10k+ that you can get just by walking up to a bag or stack of cash and stealing it. You might miss it if you unlock the Racket to quick to make sure to check before you skip doing the extra objectives and clearing a Racket. Lets on I was getting $20K per stack which was awesome.
