Snapshot
  • The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid is a series of missions involving an intro, four setups, and a finale with silent or aggressive approaches.
  • You can earn $500,000 for completing the finale, with an additional $250,000 awarded as a first-time completion bonus.
  • We have a detailed walkthrough of each mission with tips on loadouts, locations, and executing the finale using either stealth or force.

Rockstar Games introduced the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid in Grand Theft Auto Online as a continuation of the Chop Shop update, where you team up with Vincent Effenburger, head of security at the Diamond Casino turned cop, to take down a drug operation. This raid is set of contact missions, including an intro mission, four setup missions, and a finale. 

While it may not be much of a conventional heist, The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid is still lengthy and takes a fair bit of time to compete in the entire series. In this guide, we walk you through everything, including the intro mission, the setup missions, and the finale.

You can complete the finale in two ways: using either a silent or aggressive approach. To unlock silent approach though, you must do a specific step during one of the setup missions, which we cover below.

Silent vs. Aggressive Approach: This guide is based on the Silent approach, but it works just as well if you are doing the Aggressive approach. The only real difference is that if you are doing the Aggressive approach, some enemies will respawn. You can choose which approach to take by following the steps in the Setup: Disorganized Crime section below.

How to Start

To start the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid mission series, you must be in free roam and wait for Vincent’s call. It may be instantaneous or it may take up to 5 minutes from when you drop into GTA Online, don’t worry, as it is random. Once you get a call from Vincent, you will see a ‘V’ icon on the map where you can go and meet up with him to start your introductory mission, ‘Slush Fund.

Vincent’s location on the map after the call.

Is the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid worth it as a new player?

The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid doesn’t require any upfront investment and has no prerequisites to start. It’s quick and, even on Hard Mode, it’s relatively easy to complete, especially if you opt for the stealth approach.

This contact mission is particularly beneficial for beginners. However, for veterans, it may only be worth running a few times. It’s not as profitable for seasoned players as it is for newer ones.

We recommend new players take advantage of the ease of this raid to earn money. You can then invest it in one of our other more lucrative money-making methods, surpassing the earnings from the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid.

I completed one of the missions, but can’t see the yellow mission marker anymore?

This is a bug. After completing a mission, you should always receive a call from Vincent Effenburger. It’s important not to switch your session until Vincent contacts you. Otherwise, you may not see the mission marker.

If you do encounter this issue, simply restarting your game entirely should resolve it. Changing sessions or toggling between story mode and online mode won’t fix it.

Chop Shop DLC: Yusuf Amir arrives in San Andreas with a shady GTA twist https://www.gtaboom.com/rockstar-games-the-chop-shop-update-gta-online/ https://www.gtaboom.com/rockstar-games-the-chop-shop-update-gta-online/#comments Tue, 12 Dec 2023 19:05:20 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=80675 Rockstar Games has, once again, upped the ante with the release of The Chop Shop update, a GTA Online expansion that’s introducing an all-new illegal business venture.

The update, available on all platforms as of Wednesday, December 12, adds a fresh layer of criminal enterprise to the already content-rich virtual world of Los Santos.

The core of The Chop Shop update revolves around a new salvage yard business, introduced by Yusuf Amir, a character familiar to fans from the Grand Theft Auto 4 expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Now making his mark in San Andreas, Yusuf helps players establish a salvage yard that doubles as an illicit chop shop.

In this new venture, players are tasked with stealing high-end cars, which can be sold as complete units or dismantled for valuable scrap. This new business model offers players a new avenue for earning in the game, blending the thrill of car theft with the strategic management of a criminal operation.

Players have the option to choose from five different locations for their salvage yard, allowing them to set up shop in a part of the map that suits their playstyle. These yards can be progressively upgraded, enhancing their functionality and efficiency.

Adding to the intrigue, the car robberies required for the business demand a specific blend of skills, including hacking, driving, and even the use of disguises and undercover work. This varied gameplay injects new life into GTA Online, keeping the experience fresh and engaging.

But the update isn’t just about stealing cars. It also introduces an array of new vehicles to the game, ranging from sleek supercars to versatile SUVs, and even (finally) Police cars, which can be used to wreak havoc and chaos. A new battle rifle, available at the armory, is also available for players.

As fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025 (not on PC though, that comes a ways later but for a good reason), The Chop Shop update serves as a reminder of Rockstar’s commitment to keeping GTA Online fresh and exciting.

The incorporation of characters from the franchise’s past, like Yusuf Amir, is a nod to the long-standing fans and an example of how Rockstar Games skillfully weaves its narrative universe across different titles.

It remains to be seen if GTA Online will be taking a backseat or if it'll be business as usual.
