Merryweather is a private military and security company with over $10 billion of taxpayer's money in US Government contracts to it's name.
~ The description of the Merryweather Security company.
Floyd Herbert: There's been all these Merryweather folks hanging around.
Trevor Phillips: Merryweather Security Consulting? Private army to the New World Order? The folks waging outsourced shadow wars in twenty countries around the globe, and recently cleared to operate on US soil?
Floyd: That, umm, sounds like them.
~ Trevor Philips to Floyd Herbert about the Merryweather Security corporation.

The Merryweather Security Consulting are the main antagonists of the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. They are a private military company and security contractor, as well as one of the primary enemies in Grand Theft Auto Online.

History[]

The company was founded by Ex-Navy SEAL Lieutenant Don Percival in 2003 using money from a government coup in Africa.

During the main storyline, Merryweather suffered many problems from Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Phillips. They had one of the experimental weapons they were protecting for the U.S. Government stolen, one of their planes which was carrying millions of dollars in weaponry was hijacked and taken down, one of their courier trains holding millions of dollars worth of priceless artifacts was derailed; dozens of their men were killed at a shootout at the Kortz Center.

Several men were murdered after an unsuccessful house invasion, many men were lost when unsuccessfully attempting to prevent the Union Depository Building from being robbed and (determinant) many of their men were killed in a foundry while trying to kill the protagonists and one of their chief board members was kidnapped, (with eight more of their soldiers were killed trying to protect him), as he was stuffed into the back of their car and pushed off a cliff, sent to his death. (Deathwish Ending only)

The major disruptions to their contracts cost them many clients. After the loss of the government contracts, Merryweather is no longer able to operate on U.S. soil and closes down many of its assets with major losses. However, judging from their frequent appearances, Merryweathers appears to be continually running clandestine operations in Grand Theft Auto Online, which is set both before and after the events of Grand Theft Auto V, and the online protagonists typically encounter them as opponents.

During The Doomsday Heist DLC, Merryweather makes an appearance in every act and support the respective antagonists. In The Data Breaches finale, Bogdan, a rogue Russian operative who's intent on stopping Avon, hires Merryweather to assault the IAA Facility in the Grand Senora Desert, only for the protagonists to repel the attack. In Setup: Avenger, the protagonists attempt to steal an Avenger for their assault on Bogdan, and were ambushed when Merryweather killed all lights. Nevertheless, they are all slaughtered, with the protagonists stealing the aircraft and escaping. In Setup: Rescue Agent 14, Merryweather have abducted Agent 14 and allied themselves with Avon Hertz, Attempted to sell him off to Hertz and luring the protagonists into a trap. The protagonists defeat them and extract Agent 14 safely. In Prep: Chernobog, the protagonists assault a Merryweather testing site to steal the Chernobog missile truck.

Divisions[]

There are three divisions in the company. The first division provides onsite and property protection with uniformed guards; these guards can be seen patrolling their assigned properties with marked cars or walking the premises with a guard dog. Other guards can be seen protecting the Humane Labs and Research and have different clothing than the standard guards. They offer private security to shareholders such as Devin Weston, and they rarely help out the public law enforcement in major incidents.

The second division is a paramilitary force equipped and trained for high-risk operations; this division is comprised primarily of former military servicemen, possibly Special Forces. The government employs this division as a courier service and it is implied the FIB and IAA use this as hired backup. They also own a ship, a SS Bulker which holds an experimental superweapon that Trevor attempted to steal.

The third division is the courier service which transports art, artifacts and perishables for collectors and museums.

Services[]

There are various services Merryweather can provide for players in GTA Online.

  • Ammo Drop: Airdrop an ammo crate that resupplies munitions to the currently held weapon.
  • Backup Helicopter: An unarmed Buzzard Helicopter with two gunners will fly to the player's location and eliminate any hostile players and other enemies. It will circle around the character until it leaves.
  • Boat Pickup: A private Dinghy will arrive at the player's location and act like a taxi. Can only be called while on water.
  • Helicopter Pickup: A private Maverick will land at the player's location and act like a taxi.
  • Call Mercenaries: Mercenaries will track and kill another selected player. They will appear as four armed operatives driving a Mesa and will continue to come until the target is dead. If they don't succeed, the client gets a full refund.
  • Airstrike: The player will be requested to drop a flare. A P-996 LAZER then proceeds to attack the flare's target with several missiles. If the flare wasn't used, the jet simply leaves and no refunds are given.

Vehicles[]

  • Mesa: A heavily modified SUV with enhanced off-road capability, the primary vehicle for ground operatives.
  • Dilettantes: Used by Merryweather Security Guards to patrol areas.
  • Buzzard Attack Chopper: Primary choice for air transport and air support..

Mission Appearances[]

Grand Theft Auto V[]

  • Scouting The Port: Trevor discusses the organization with Floyd Herbert, examines and takes pictures of a cargo ship, and steals associated documents, then calls his associate Ron Jakowski and goes home.
  • The Merryweather Heist: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor steal an unknown experimental superweapon. They either blow up a freighter ship and retrieve its cargo, (Freighter Method) or fly out to sea, retrieve a special device with a submarine, and fly back (Offshore Method). They kill any resistance on their way and nearly succeed in the heist, but Lester gets them to return the device, as it isn't worth the trouble.
  • Minor Turbulence: Trevor uses a crop duster biplane to capture a Merryweather Cargo Plane. He kills everyone on board, but was intercepted and crippled by the USAF, forcing him to escape. The plane crashes into Alamo Sea.
  • Derailed: To appease Martin Madrazo's wrath, Trevor hijacks and derails a Merryweather train, allowing him and Michael to steal the artifacts on board.
  • Monkey Business: Steve Haines claims the International Affairs Agency is developing a neurotoxin for an orchestrated terrorist attack to secure more funding. He, Michael and Dave assault the facility, kill the Merryweather security forces stationed there, and take the substance by force.
  • The Wrap Up: A massive 3-way shooting erupts at Kortz Center between Merryweather, the FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau), and the IAA (International Affairs Agency). Michael and FIB agent Dave Norton are forced to fight their way out, with Trevor also joining the chaos. It culminates in numerous casualties for the IAA, FIB and Merryweather, the latter having lost at least two Buzzard Attack Choppers.
  • Meltdown: Michael and his son Jimmy rush back home to stop Merryweather mercenaries hired by Devin from killing his wife Amanda and his daughter Tracey on the premier release night of the movie "Meltdown". Michael kills nearly all attackers and was ambushed by the last, but Jimmy saves him.
  • The Big Score: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor steal a large amount of gold bars from the Union Depository by either disguising themselves as guards from Gruppe Sechs, controlling traffic lights and using Gauntlet muscle cars (Subtle Approach) or drilling a hole near the bank, taking the gold by force, and escaping by air (Obvious Approach). Either way, they inevitably come across Merryweather forces and the LSPD, but manage to demolish or evade them and escape with the loot.
  • The Third Way: Lester lures the FIB and Merryweather to the foundry, ostensibly with the gold's presence. Lamar, Franklin, Michael and Trevor proceed to eliminate them all. Trevor then heads to Devin's mansion and kills all Merryweather guards there in order to abduct Devin. (Deathwish Ending only)
