“I’ll get us there, no problem.” – Karim Denz

Karim Denz is an unlockable heist crew member in Grand Theft Auto V, specializing as a driver. While initially viewed as inexperienced, Karim can improve his skills with repeated use, eventually becoming a more reliable choice for high-stakes heists.

Early Life

Not much is known about Karim Denz’s early life, but he is portrayed as a relatively inexperienced driver when compared to other, more seasoned Crew Members. He enters the world of heists looking for opportunities to prove himself and improve his reputation.

Appearance in Grand Theft Auto V

Karim Denz becomes available after the mission “The Jewel Store Job” as a potential getaway driver. Although he lacks experience, his cut of the profits is lower than other drivers, making him a budget-friendly option early on. Over time, Karim’s driving skills improve as he participates in more heists, reducing the risk of mishaps.

Role in Heists

As a driver, Karim’s main responsibility is ensuring the crew’s smooth escape after a robbery. In earlier Missions, his inexperience can cause Complications, such as getting lost or choosing less effective escape routes. However, with repeated use, Karim’s skills improve, making him a solid choice for heists that require precision driving.

Karim is eager to prove himself but often lacks the confidence and experience displayed by more seasoned Crew Members. He’s earnest and willing to take on any challenge but acknowledges his shortcomings. As Karim gains more experience, his personality reflects increased confidence in his driving abilities.

• Karim is one of the least expensive getaway drivers in the game, which makes him a cost-effective option in early heists.
• Although his driving skills are limited at first, Karim’s abilities improve if players repeatedly choose him for heist Missions.
• If Karim is selected as the driver in “The Jewel Store Job” (Smart Approach), he chooses less suitable motorcycles for the getaway, which can lead to Complications during the escape.
• Despite his early mistakes, Karim can become a reliable driver if the player continues to utilize him, reducing the risk of future issues.
• Karim’s driving skills are especially useful in later heists if players have invested in his growth by selecting him multiple times.
