Step by step
- 1Wait for Maude's call, then buy the Bail Office on Maze Bank Foreclosures (a city location saves travel).
- 2Pick standard bounties from the office board every 48 minutes.
- 3Do the one Most Wanted bounty each day.
- 4Capture targets alive, and send agents out on work for passive income.
Common mistakes
- Killing the target — you lose 75% of the pay.
- Buying the Paleto Bay office to save money, then driving north for every job.
Section 01
The brief
The bail office adds short, skill-light bounty work that fills gaps between longer money routes.
- Bail jobs come in low, medium and high tiers; high-value targets are worth waiting for
- Targets can be brought in alive for a bonus, which most players skip
- Staff can be dispatched for passive income while you play elsewhere
Section 02
Recommended route
Queue a bounty before starting any passive collection run so the target search shares travel with deliveries.
- Take the highest tier available rather than clearing the cheap ones first
- Subdue with a stun gun and deliver alive for the full bonus
- Dispatch office staff before you leave so passive income accrues
- Collect the office safe each session
Section 03
What good looks like
Bounty payouts stay small but land often enough to smooth a slow week.
- Most-wanted targets cleared alive and the safe never left to cap
