“The nerve center of the FIB’s operations in Los Santos, an ominous symbol of federal power in the city’s skyline.” – Los Santos Insider

FIB Headquarters is the primary base of operations for the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) in Grand Theft Auto V. Located in Downtown Los Santos, the imposing skyscraper is a key location in several high-stakes Missions and serves as a backdrop for some of the game’s most intense moments. The FIB Headquarters plays a critical role in the narrative of GTA V, especially in Missions involving Michael De Santa, who becomes entangled with corrupt FIB agents. The building also symbolizes the deep corruption within the government agencies in the world of Los Santos.

Location & Significance

The FIB Headquarters is located in Pillbox Hill, Downtown Los Santos, adjacent to the IAA Building. This towering skyscraper is one of the tallest and most distinctive structures in the city’s skyline. As the command center for the FIB, the building is heavily fortified and serves as the focal point for various operations conducted by the agency. Its significance in the game’s storyline cannot be understated, as it is the site of multiple Missions, including an iconic heist.
