The Marabunta Grande is a Salvadoran gang in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description
They are heavily involved in drug trafficking and are currently at war with the Mexican gang Varrios Los Aztecas over the drug trade, drug trafficking and arms trafficking in Blaine County. Weazel News also reported that a recent shootout occurred between the two gangs in the Grand Senora Desert.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V
The Marabunta Grande appears for the first time during the mission Father/Son, where Jimmy tries to impress Michael by selling his boat to them. They, however, decide to steal it with a truck, with Jimmy still onboard. Michael and Franklin chase them on the highway, and Franklin jumps onto the boat to get Jimmy out, while Michael shoots the Marabunta Grande members on it. At some point, after Franklin and Jimmy safely return to Michael's car, the car's motor breaks down due to bullet damage, allowing the Marabunta Grande to get away with the boat.

They appear later in the air arms trafficking side mission where they are bringing weapons by sea and moving them out by rail, Oscar orders Trevor to destroy their containers and boats. In the ground arms trafficking side mission, the Marabunta Grande appears twice, both missions where they try to steal packages from Trevor.

Events of Grand Theft Auto Online
In GTA Online, the Marabunta Grande appears in certain gang attacks. Defeating them in five Gang Attacks within one session will result in a bounty being placed on the player's head. A threatening text message from "The Boss" will appear, saying: "You're in trouble now. Bitch!". They also appear in the mission Potshot, where their van gets stolen by the player. They also appear in resupply missions for the marijuana business, as they come into conflict with motorcycle clubs.

During the Prison Break - Plane mission, Agent 14 says to the Velum pilot that three custom officers died from spider bites after opening a Marabunta Grande shipment of untaxed cocobolo wood.

During the mission Last Play - Bad Companies (set in 2020), the protagonist kills The Boss in the construction site in Alta.

In one of The Cayo Perico Heist setups, the players storm a warehouse owned by the Marabunta Grande and destroy the body armor shipments meant for El Rubio´s guards.
