TL;DR
Payout: GTA$500K for leader, GTA$50K for crew. +GTA$250K first-time bonus each.
Duration: ~50–60 min run + 1 h cooldown → about GTA$250K/hour solo.
Optimize: Do a friend’s raid during cooldown to reach GTA$320K–400K+/h.
Best solo plan: Stealth finale (“Scene of the Crime”) — faster, cleaner, no alarms.
Crew trick: Swap hosts each run; everyone prints cash nonstop.
Don’t waste time: Skip optional loot, explosions, and sightseeing — this is capitalism, not tourism.
The easiest, greasiest, most profitable poultry massacre in Los Santos. Run it, cash it, repeat till your wallet smells like fried chicken.
Here’s where you stop arguing with yourself and just do it:If you are serious about making money in GTA Online, the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid is your go-to.
You don’t need to plagiarize grand heist movies, you don’t need a 20-man super-crew, and you don’t need to wait for the “event week” to cash in (though those bonus weeks are nice). Host it, do it fast, and treat downtime as another earning opportunity by hopping as crew.
Solo leader only? Expect about GTA$250,000 per hour realistically.
Optimised host + associate combo? Might push you into the neighborhood of GTA$320,000-400,000+ per hour, if you’re slick. Ignore this or do it casually? You’ll lag behind your cosmetic-buying friends. And that’s embarrassing.
So: grab that raid by the throat, empty the coop, count your chooks, load your bank account — and let the rest of Los Santos go cluck themselves.
Why this raid is your money-machine (no, really)
Let’s start with the hard facts (the kind you don’t find in your cousin’s “easy cheat” post):
If you’re the leader/host, finishing the finale of the raid guarantees you GTA$500,000.
If you’re an associate (crew-member), you get GTA$50,000 for your share when the finale hits.
First-time bonus: Leader gets +GTA$250,000 the first time you ever finish as leader. Associate gets +GTA$250,000 the first time you finish as a crew member.
There is a ~60-minute cooldown after the finale in which you cannot immediately start the raid again as leader.
The raid consists of 6 missions (5 setups including intro + 1 finale). You can solo it from start to finish.
So: you host → you get half-a-million per run. You can cling to that like a seagull attacks chips on Brighton Pier.
The hard numbers: Cash per hour, real talk
We’re not playing pretend here. You wanna optimize. Here’s how the money adds up.
Solo leader scenario
Run time: assume a clean solo run takes ~50–60 minutes. Many players hit ~55 mins if competent.
Cooldown time: ~60 minutes dead time before you can host again.
Total cycle time ~110–120 minutes → payout per cycle = GTA$500,000.
That means ~GTA$250,000/hour (500k ÷ 2 hours) in the realistic solo-host case.
If you tighten your run to ~45 minutes, and minimize downtime, you could push closer to ~GTA$300k/hour.
Leader + associate combination
You host one run (500k) → then either join someone else’s as crew (50k + setup pay) during your cooldown → you still earn money while you wait.
Crews have reported total earnings of ~GTA$150k–$250k/hour as associates when joined into fast hosts. (Since base pay is 50k + whatever the setup missions paid in that session.)
Combined: you as host get your 500k cycle, plus extra from being associate in someone else’s run in the interlude → your effective hourly becomes ~GTA$320k–400k+ if you’re efficient.
Careful: these are estimates, not fantasy. You're not getting a million an hour unless you're doing the run in 20 minutes (and you’re not — unless glitch?).
“This raid can easily be completed in an hour fully…” Yes, easily if you’re good. That one hour includes time. Good. Use that.
Mission list & fastest approach (so you stop faffing about)
Here are the missions — then how to execute them quickly, like a well-oiled chicken-clawing machine.
Mission list
Slush Fund
Breaking & Entering
Concealed Weapons
Hit & Run
Disorganized Crime
Finale: Scene of the Crime (choice of Silent or Aggressive)
Fastest route (leader solo style)
Slush Fund: Drive straight in, grab what you need, drive out. Avoid wasting time hero-mode.
Breaking & Entering: Know the route for the train and laptop/hack. The quicker you enter the train yard and grab the key, the fewer minutes you burn.
Concealed Weapons: Choose the best weapons/gear package (Point C often) if you want speed. Don’t go exploring every garage. Time’s money, man.
Hit & Run: Get the getaway vehicle fast. Drive the train-track path west (less chase) to buy time.
Disorganized Crime: Sabotage only what you need. If you inspect all optional trucks, you’ll lose minutes. Then erase CCTV if you intend to go stealth.
Finale (Scene of the Crime): For solo leader I strongly recommend Silent Approach — fewer firefights, fewer dead-eyes, less chance of a catastrophic wipe. With associates, you could go loud if everyone’s tight and fast. Either way, payout is the same.
If you execute that route with minimal mistakes, you’ll finish the whole thing in ~50 minutes. Then you hit your cooldown. That is your money loop.
Tips & tricks the community swear by (you’re welcome)
Use a fast vehicle for set-ups and transitions. The slower you move between objectives, the less money per hour.
Stealth finale solo: fewer alarms = fewer extra enemies = fewer minutes wasted.
Skip non-critical loot: yes, exploring secret lockers gives fun and awards, but you’re here for cash, not bragging rights. Detours cost minutes.
Associate mode during your cooldown: as soon as you finish hosting, jump into a friend’s raid as crew to bank more cash while you wait.
If you’ve done the entire raid once (leader) and once as crew, don’t forget those first-time bonuses (250k each) — get them done!
Keep the same session between missions if you can. Some reports show switching sessions or losing Vincent’s call breaks progress / wastes time.
Consider a duo rotation: you and your buddy alternate hosting. That way one hosts while the other crew’s, and downtime is minimized for both.
🐔 FAQ — Frequently Asked Cluck-ups
Q: How much money do I actually make from the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid? A: If you’re the host, you’ll pocket GTA$500,000 at the end. Crew members get GTA$50,000. There’s also a GTA$250,000 first-time bonus for finishing as host, and another GTA$250,000 for finishing as crew. So yes — your first raid could net a million bucks if you play it smart.
Q: Can I play this solo, or do I need friends with a caffeine addiction? A: You can solo the entire thing. Every mission and even the finale can be completed alone. The only thing you’ll need help with is convincing your friends that you’re not ignoring them — you’re just making more money than them.
Q: What’s faster: stealth or loud finale? A: Stealth is faster for solo players — fewer enemies, fewer respawns, less screaming.Loud is faster if your crew knows how to shoot in the same direction and not into each other’s backs. Otherwise, it’s a loud funeral.
Q: Does difficulty (Normal/Hard) change the payout? A: Nope. You get the same GTA$500K finale payout whether you play like Solid Snake or a headless chicken. Hard mode just increases the number of bullets you’ll eat — not the money you’ll make.
Q: Is there a cooldown? A: Sadly, yes. Roughly 60 minutes after completing the finale before you can host again. During that time, jump into someone else’s raid as crew or do another grind (FIB Files, Salvage Yard, etc.) to keep the cash flowing.
Q: How long does a full run take? A: Around 45–60 minutes if you’re competent, 35–45 if you’re cracked, and an eternity if you drive like your grandma.
Q: What’s the best way to maximize hourly cash? A: Do this; Host your own run (500K); While your cooldown ticks, join a friend’s raid as crew (50K + setup payouts); Repeat.That’s ~GTA$320K–400K/hour, depending on how much time you spend admiring explosions.
Q: What about special unlocks or rewards? A: You’ll unlock the Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor and Vapid Benson (Cluckin’ Bell) for Pegasus. There are also career progress rewards on next-gen consoles, like weapon tints, clothes, and bragging rights.
Q: Do we get more money for going in loud, killing everyone, and blowing stuff up? A: No. Rockstar doesn’t reward mayhem — it just makes you feel richer. The payout is fixed, no matter how cinematic your carnage looks.
Q: Why does everyone say this is the best free money grind? A: Because it’s 100% free (no setup costs or buy-ins), soloable, and guaranteed half a million per run. It’s basically GTA’s version of printing money, minus the moral implications.
Q: Be honest — is this better than the Cayo Perico Heist? A: For pure efficiency and zero buy-ins, yes. For raw profit potential, no. Cayo Perico can still edge it out on total yield, but the Cluckin’ Bell Raid wins for “least chance of smashing your controller.”
Q: TL;DR me like a TikTok caption. A: Farm chickens, rob cops, make half a million. Wait an hour. Repeat. Your wallet gets fatter, your soul gets darker, and your fridge smells like fried crime.
