| Cars spawn in random places on the map and the teams must steal them and take them to a drop off point. The cash teams get for dropping off stolen vehicles depends on their condition - teams get less cash the more damaged they are. There are exceptions though: some are special bonus cars, containing drugs, which give a set amount of cash on delivery no matter how damaged they are. Your crew has to get hold of whatever vehicles the boss wants. Whichever crew makes the most money wins. | | Cars spawn in random places on the map and the teams must steal them and take them to a drop off point.
