What missions provide the best RP in GTA Online?

I'm level 49 trying to level up so I can access better missions and rewards (like the tank). I mostly play solo and occasionally with 1-4 friends.

What are some good missions to do as a group to get RP? Who should I call for missions with best RP payout?


Long paste, thanks to GTAForums iirc - as of 1.04

If you want to grind, have someone host the job 'Coveted' under missions - 950 RP, $12k payout and is fairly fast once you have it down. As it isn't given by any character, you can Replay it from the post mission menu.

Mission Name / Cash / Rank req. / RP gained - all values on hardmode, solo.

Do the Coveted mission.

It gets really boring but you can play some music in the background and it gives $18000 and 1900-2100 RP


when you have a buzzard chopper, crystal clear out 3 is really fast and extremely easy.. and it is available at lv 40 (before buzzard is unlocked) it gives 7000 cash and 2000 rp solo on hard the other bonus is you can do this over and over again without using any ammo (you will notice the money saved)

with the chopper most of the missions that require killing stuff become blitzable


Rooftop Rumble - opens at rank 75, but by choosing 'quick' option you can join others games. Earns $18,750 + 4k+ rp on hard (1.5x) for a quick and really easy mission!

Tip - sprint down the side of the building, climb on the wall & hedge, crouch, then pick off all the dudes over the top of the wall!
