Let's be real - Jailbreak is all about one thing: money. Whether you're pulling heists as a criminal or chasing bounties as a cop, cash is what gets you the best vehicles, weapons, and upgrades. This guide ranks every robbery, gives you the optimal grinding route, and shows you exactly how to maximize your earnings per hour.

Which Robberies Are Worth It
S Tier - Always Do These
- Mansion - Massive payouts. Even better with a team.
- Tomb - Excellent money-to-time ratio. Straightforward obby once you learn it.
- Crown Jewel - Fast and high-paying if you can handle the obby.
- Power Plant - Payout scales with driving speed. Fast drivers earn the most.
A Tier - Reliable Earners
- Casino - Consistent earner. Good for solo grinding.
- Jewelry Store - Classic. Low risk once you've mastered the obby.
- City Bank - Reliable payout. Fits into most grinding routes.
- Museum - Good money but better with teammates.
B Tier - Do If Convenient
- Train - Good if it's on your route. Not worth going out of your way.
- Cargo Ship - Decent payout but slow travel time to reach it.
- Oil Rig - Needs a team. Don't bother solo.
C Tier - Skip
- Gas Station - Low payout. Only rob if you're literally driving past it.
- Donut Shop - Minimal cash. Not worth your time.
The Grinding Route
- Escape prison using the fastest method (see below).
- Grab a fast vehicle from the nearest spawn.
- Hit Tomb or Crown Jewel first - usually open when you start.
- Drive to Power Plant while other robberies recharge.
- Hit Casino or Jewelry Store as fillers.
- Return to Tomb/Crown Jewel once cooldowns reset.
- Never stop moving. Repeat the cycle endlessly.
The key is never being idle. While one robbery's on cooldown, you should be doing another. Dead time = lost money.
Best Vehicles for Grinding
- Roadster - Top speed + handling. Best overall grinding vehicle.
- Bionic - Excellent acceleration. Great for quick getaways.
- Torpedo - Fastest straight-line speed. Expensive but unmatched on highways.
- Helicopter - Skip traffic entirely. Fly between robberies for maximum efficiency.
- Avoid slow vehicles. Using a pickup truck for grinding wastes time on every single trip.
Criminal vs Cop
Criminal (Best for Money)
- Criminals earn through robberies. This is the fastest way to get rich. Period.
- Focus entirely on completing robberies as fast as possible.
- Avoid unnecessary fights with cops. Running is faster than fighting.
- Use private servers to avoid cops entirely.
Cop (Slower but Steady)
- Cops earn by arresting criminals. Payout depends on the criminal's bounty.
- Target high-bounty criminals for maximum payout per arrest.
- Camp robbery exits for easy arrests as criminals try to escape.
- Use the handcuffs upgrade for faster arrest speed.
Getting Out of Prison
- Crawl through the vent in your cell - fastest escape for most spawns.
- Punch the wall in certain cells to create an exit.
- Use the yard to reach the outer fence and jump over.
- Team up - other criminals can distract guards while you escape.
- Don't waste time fighting guards. Escape first, gear up second.
Pro Tips
- Use small or private servers. Fewer cops = fewer interruptions = more consistent earnings.
- Grind with a team. Museum, Mansion, and Oil Rig are significantly faster with teammates.
- Use fast vehicles. Time between robberies is dead time. Minimize it.
- Learn the obbies. Practice the parkour sections. Faster completion = more runs per hour.
- Play during events. Seasonal events often have 2x cash multipliers. Grind HARD during these.
- Check for active codes. Free cash from codes adds up over time.
Trading Smart
- Trade high-demand items for overpays. Limited vehicles and items often sell above cash value.
- Buy low, sell high. Watch what players want and price yours accordingly.
- Be patient. Good trades take time. Don't accept bad deals out of impatience.
- Know item values. Check community trading servers and value lists before trading.
What's Wasting Your Money
- Buying every vehicle. You only need 1-2 fast ones for grinding. Don't waste cash collecting slow cars.
- Fighting cops instead of running. Dying resets your robbery progress. Run and live to earn.
- Doing low-tier robberies. Gas Station and Donut Shop waste time for minimal payout.
- Being idle between robberies. Always be driving to the next heist. Zero downtime.
- Playing cop for money. Cop income is slower than criminal income. Play criminal for grinding.
- Not using private servers. Public servers with aggressive cops cut your earnings in half.
