“	Merryweather is a private military and security company with over $10 billion of taxpayer's money in US Government contracts to it's name.	„
	~ Description of the Merryweather Security company.

“	(Floyd: There's been all these Merryweather folks hangin' around.) Merryweather Security Consulting? Private army to the New World Order? The folks waging outsourced shadow wars in 20 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.

Merryweather Security Consulting are the main group of antagonists in 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.

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, stuffed into the back of their car and pushed off a cliff, presumably sent to his death. (Deathwish Ending only)

Because of these problems, towards the end, Merryweather's reputation begins to fall and this causes several clients to drop them from their payroll, including the U.S. Government itself. After the loss of the Government's contract, Merryweather then loses its clearance license to operate on American soil and is forced to shut down several operations they'd started in the country, costing them millions of dollars, and decides switching back to current ones overseas, specifically in the Middle East.

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 a nuclear bomb.

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: An crate filled with ammo will be dropped from the skies. It will add ammo to the firearm that the player is wielding.
• Backup Helicopter: A Buzzard Helicopter 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 go at the player's location.
• Helicopter Pickup: A private Maverick will land at the player's location.
• Call Mercenaries: Mercenaries will track and kill the selected target. 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, a full refund will be sent to the client.
• Airstrike: The player will be requested to drop a flare before a P-996 LAZER arrives.
