To intervene or not to intervene?
A few Random Events in GTA 5 allow the player to dictate the encounter’s outcome. One of these Random Events is the Countryside Robbery Random Event. During this event, you can choose to help the cops or the criminals as they engage in a shootout.
This quick guide outlines everything you need about the Countryside Robbery Random Event.
What is the Countryside Robbery Random Event in GTA 5?
The Countryside Robbery Random Event is 1 of 60 Random Events you will encounter as you play through GTA 5’s main story mode. In this Random Event, you will find a group of criminals engaging in a shootout with the cops near a motel.
You can either help the cops deal with the criminals or kill the cops to help the criminals escape in this Random Event. The former will be easier as you only have to wait for the criminals to die before you take the briefcases.

Meanwhile, if you decide to help the criminals by killing the cops, you will get a Wanted Level and a random amount of cash rewards from the criminals.
The rewards you get from this Random Event will also depend on your action.
Countryside Robbery Random Event Location
You can find the Countryside Robbery Random Event along Route 68 in Harmony. Head to the Motel along Route 68, and you’ll find multiple blue dots on the map if the Random Event spawns in the area.
If you’re looking for fun, help the criminals escape by killing all the cops in the area. Park your car near the criminals and just sit back and watch the chaos unfold before you take the briefcases. You will still get rewarded regardless of the option you end up taking.
Countryside Robbery Random Event Rewards
You can pick up two briefcases containing $5000 per briefcase in this Random Event if you wait for the two criminals to die in the shootout against the cops. You can walk away with up to $10,000 just by watching the shootout unfold.
Alternatively, you can help the criminals by killing all the cops in the area and helping them escape. The criminals will reward you with a random amount of cash by doing so. However, you will become Wanted for killing the cops, and you’ll have to evade the incoming police after the criminals leave the area.
Waiting for the criminals to die and then taking the dropped briefcases will be your best bet if you want to get the biggest payout possible from this Random Event. You also won’t have to deal with the cops after you help the criminals, so that’s a plus.
What random events repeat in GTA 5?
Security Vans, ATM Robberies, and the Bus Tour are guaranteed to respawn indefinitely in GTA 5. Security Vans and ATM Robberies are particularly useful for getting a steady stream of cash weekly in-game.
Most of the Random Events in the game only spawn once, especially those that unlock new characters and heist crew members such as Burial (Antonia Bottino), Crash Rescue (Taliana Martinez), and Getaway Driver (Packie McReary)
What happens if you fail a random event?
If you fail a Random Event, you must wait a few in-game hours, days, or weeks before the same Random Event respawns in GTA 5. They will respawn eventually, giving you another chance at completing the Random Event.
It is worth noting that not all Random Events recur in GTA 5. Only Security Vans, ATM Robberies, and the Bus Tour are guaranteed to respawn indefinitely in-game.
Cash Money
The Countryside Robbery Random Event is one of the few Random Events in GTA 5 where you can get rewards regardless of your chosen outcome. You can get more money from this Random Event by helping the criminals escape.
