The Doomsday Heist is a three-part[1] Heist sequence introduced to Grand Theft Auto Online in the Doomsday Heist Update.
Description
- "There are three ways to acquire Heist Prep Equipment. By completing Freemode Preps, stealing it from rival Heist Crews or by purchasing the equipment directly."
- — On-Screen instruction
This Heist can only be played while being in a CEO or VIP Organization or being in a Motorcycle Club and the CEO/VIP/MC President must own a Facility in order to start The Doomsday Heist.
Unlike previous Heists, all missions in the Doomsday Heist can be completed with a minimum of two players (as opposed to the original Heists, which required four, with the exception of the Fleeca Job), allowing a larger payout during the Finale of each Act if played with fewer players. Each Crew Member has a 15% Cut minimum of the Heist's earnings during the Finale.
Also unlike previous Heists, Prep Jobs are featured in the three acts of the Doomsday Heists: These are required in order to progress to the Setup missions. Prep Jobs are completed seamlessly in public Freemode sessions and players have the option to do the mission, steal the equipment from rival CEO/VIP Organizations and Motorcycle Clubs, or buy the equipment; however, these missions can be completed by the CEO/VIP/MC President themselves without any other member in the Organization/MC, though it is not recommended, as there could be PvP action. You can only steal equipment from other Heist crews when they have the same Prep jobs available and are in the same Act of the Doomsday Heist.
Preparation and setup jobs may be completed in any order within each Act.

Upon arrival, all must be killed, and two of the enemies will have one Railgun each (unobtainable). Once all mercenaries are dead, the Chernobog's driver will run away and it can be stolen (Driver is not required to be killed), and the Rhino Tank can be used by another player to escort the Chernobog - Which may need the latter to slow down so the former can catch up - Up to 4 waves of 2 Mesas filled with enemies will attempt to intercept the Chernobog.

Once inside the house, the players must find a supply crate that contains a laptop, which one player should retrieve. In order to remain undetected, it is recommended to do this alone, staying in stealth mode and killing the guards using headshots from a silenced weapon. If this is successful, the laptop can be delivered immediately without any trouble. However, if the guards are alerted in the process, the players will face a 3-star wanted level once they escape, not to mention Cliffford Mercenaries will also send Dubsta6x6s to defeat the players.

Trivia
- Technically, the Setups and Finales of the Doomsday Heist are missions, rather than being actual heists or heist setups.
- If players restart from a checkpoint, money mesh texture is shown on the intro screen instead of the cube grid that is seen on the intro screen opening a mission.
- Unlike original Heists, during the Doomsday Heist setups of finales, the background of the Job List app is inconsistent: instead of being persian green, it might be just white, or red, like it is usually during Adversary Modes.

Soundtrack
A new soundtrack was mixed for the Doomsday Heist. The soundtrack was created by Oh No and features stems reused and remixed from the original Heists Update to reflect the heists in operation. Three different variations appear, each of which have 2 separate alternative versions which play exclusively during setup work.
