How do cooperative missions in gta online work?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V that supports up to 30 players in the same session. Within this open world, players can choose cooperative game modes where they team up to complete mission objectives such as heists, races, or special event challenges. All participants work together to achieve the mission goals, and the rewards—cash, experience points, and items—are distributed among the teammates. Cooperative play uses the same open‑world map of San Andreas, letting teams move freely between the city of Los Santos and the countryside while pursuing the mission tasks. These missions can be launched from the job menu or invited directly by other players, enabling flexible group formation and shared progress.
