Guide for Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360)

As we get started, bear in mind that you will need to get 70 gold medals for the following achievement:

There are 120 missions in the game, so you should be able to easily get enough, especially if you go for all the Strangers and Freaks missions as soon as they appear. You can use mission replay to tackle the objectives one at a time if you need to. Medal requirements will be in italics under the mission titles. Anyway, on with the Walkthrough and the first mission...

Prologue

N/A

Ludendorff, North Yankton. Michael, Trevor and Brad are in the midst of a robbery. As you are put in control of Michael, you are instructed to aim at the hostages using to get them to move. Trevor will then tell you to detonate the bomb. Pull up the phone using , then hit detonate to blow open the vault. Make your way to the vault to collect the money. Michael will be caught and unmasked by a guard, so switch to Trevor using and to cap the guard in the head. From here, take cover as Brad blows open the nearby door, then approach the nearby button to open the shutter. Cops will arrive, so take cover and blast away. With the game's generous auto-aim combat should be no problem. Continue up the road, killing cops as they arrive. Eventually a cutscene will play where you will make your escape, but the getaway driver (who remains nameless) is shot. Michael takes the wheel, and you must drive down the road. Another cutscene will play, and your car will be wrecked by a passing train, then Brad and Michael will both be shot by a sniper. Trevor refuses to leave, so gun down some more cops as they arrive. Another cutscene will then ensue, as Trevor flees, and Michael is buried.

The scene then shifts to Los Santos, 10 years later, as Michael is having therapy. After a unsuccessful session, Michael takes a walk down the beach, where he is approached by two men asking where Bertolt Beach House is. He does, and the view shifts to Franklin as the next mission begins...

Franklin and Lamar

Not a Scratch - Deliver the car with minimal damage

Focused Driver - Use Franklin's Special Ability for 7 seconds.

Winner - Win the race against Lamar

We Come in Peace - Avoid hitting any aliens in the movie studio

After taking the vehicles you need to race Lamar back to Simeon's Dealership. As you race along you will be given instructions on your Special Ability and controlling vehicles in the air. Try not to beat Lamar as he is a good driver. The reason for this is so you don't wreck your car to satisfy one of the requirements. Just stay reasonably close and you should be fine. When driving through the movie studio make sure to avoid the aliens for another requirement, use Franklin's ability to help with this. Pass Lamar at the last stretch with your ability for another requirement.

After the race then Lamar will drive off but the Police will come after you with a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Lose them then duck into an alley until the Rating disappears. After that then drive to the Dealership to start a cutscene. When this is completed then get into your vehicle, the Buffalo, and drive you and Lamar back to your home. When you arrive home then the mission is successfully completed. You will also unlock:

Before continuing with the main story, there are some miscellaneous achievements that can be done...

Head to the N.O.O.S.E HQ, located here:

to pick up a Buzzard, and fly around the map, enjoying the scenery and unfogging the map, to unlock:

Once finished, fly out into the ocean and fall out of the Buzzard, then swim around until a red dot appears on the map. Dive under, and wait until the shark attacks and kills you to unlock:

Also doable now are the Stunt Jumps, which there are 50 of. This video from PowerPyx is easy to follow and will make this achievement slightly easier, although some of the jumps are a pain.

Make sure to quick save before each jump, as some of them can put you in the water or outright kill you. Once all 50 are complete, you will unlock:

The next activity that can be completed is the Shooting Range, which is available at the Ammu-Nation store closest to Franklin's house. Complete each of the challenges to progress towards 100%, and earn all Gold medals to earn a permanent 25% discount at the store. Doing this early will also max Franklin's Shooting stat.

Following that, there are a couple smaller diversions that contribute to the Miscellaneous portion of the 100% checklist.

Firstly, rob a store by going in and aiming a gun at the cashier. After he throws the money over you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating.

Next, wait until nighttime and drive around Vespucci Beach. You're looking for a prostitute, who generally wear quite trashy clothes and stand on street corners. Once you have found one, take her to a secluded spot to do some "business" and earn another notch on the completion.

For some more action, head to the Vanilla Unicorn strip club and you will be approached by a dancer, who will coerce you into a private dance. If the dancer is named Sapphire, Juliet, Nikki or Infernus, you can get a Booty Call. Touch the stripper when the bouncer isn't looking, and once the Like Meter is full she will give you her number. Leave the club, call it and head to her house for some action and another step towards 100%.

Finally, head to any cinema and watch a movie.

With those diversions completed, let's continue with the main story...

Repossession

Time - 6:30

Headshots - 6

Accuracy - 70%

Trail Blazer - Shoot the gasoline trail

Simeon, Franklin and Lamar's employer, decides to give Franklin the coveted Employee of the Month award. Lamar appears and is shocked when Simeon tells him the news, because he thought he had done enough. Simeon then sends the two of them to retrieve a bike...

Head over to Vespucci Beach. When you get there then follow Lamar. Climb the fence and head to the end of the street. When you get to the end of the street then start looking through the three garages. One of them on the left will have some Body Armor for you. Choose the garage on the right and you will find that the bike isn't there. You will also be ambushed by the Vagos and this starts a fight between you and them as Lamar kicks you a Pistol. The game will instruct you on how to use the weapon wheel and cover. Take your time and go for headshots to satisfy the Accuracy requirement.

Continue forward and a car will speed off, only to crash into a wall and leak oil. Shoot the oil trail for a massive explosion and another requirement. The bike will then appear. If you are quick, you can shoot the gang member off the bike before he drives away. If not, get in your car, chase him down and knock him off. Get on the bike and drive it to the car wash, where Lamar decides to repo the bike for himself and drives off, completing the mission.

The Pump Shotgun will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

At this point in the game, Stranger and Freaks will begin to appear. Only Franklin's missions count towards 100%, but there are some easy gold medals to be had among the others, so I will be covering each mission as they appear. The first mission will require you to collect all 50 Letter Scraps to trigger, so here is another video from PowerPyx (all credit to him) with the locations. Again use the Buzzard to speed up collection.

Collecting all 50 will unlock the following...

A Starlet in Vinewood

Cut! - Kill Dreyfuss

Dreyfuss will run away and get in an SUV. Get in your vehicle and chase him. Put him down to earn an easy gold medal and:

Now head over to the icon in front of Franklin's house for...

Pulling Favors

Time - 5:00

Unhook Bonus - Keep the vehicle hooked until you deliver it to the Impound Lot.

The first in a long line of exciting tow truck missions. Head to the Towing Compund to pick up the Tow Truck. After entering the Tow Truck then head to the abandoned car in Pillbox Hill. Follow the instructions on how to hook up the car then drive it to the Impound Lot. When you get there then maneuver into the designated zone and drop the vehicle off to complete the encounter.

A couple more ? icons will now show up across Los Santos, but firstly a quick word on Random Events. You need to complete 14 for 100%, but there are many more. I will only mention specific ones that are beneficial to your playthrough, but complete any that you come across. Speaking of beneficial random events, just across from Franklin's safehouse is a Dollar Bill store. A random event may spawn here at any time with Packie McReary of GTA IV fame. When it appears, head over there to pick up him and his accomplice, then lose the 2-Star Wanted Rating to complete the encounter and unlock Packie for heists later in the game. After this, head back to Franklin's safehouse for the next main mission...

Chop

Not a Scratch - Complete the mission with minimal damage to the van

Homedog - Remain in Chop's perspective for 10 seconds

Advanced Reflexes - Use Franklin's Special Ability for 7 seconds

After dodging his Aunt, who takes off on a Spirit Walk, Lamar appears. Apparently he wants to perform a kidnapping of a Ballas gang member named D.

Get into the van and head up to Vinewood. When you get there you then confront D who takes off on a fast bike, however you have to drive a slow van. Keep up with him and he will eventually wipe out near a bus terminal. Chase D on foot into the train yard. You will then be able to switch to Chop, do so for 10 seconds to satisfy a requirement, then open the train cars as Franklin. Once you find D, get in the van and drive back to Strawberry. On the way, Lamar will call the Ballas and demand a ransom for D, but after Franklin tells Lamar that the cops will easily trace the call, you let D out of the van. Drive a disappointed Lamar back to the rec center to complete the mission.

Following this mission, Lamar will text Franklin to tell him he has left Chop at his house. Head over there and take Chop for a little walk to get another notch on the 100% completion. Now wait until nighttime for the next Strangers and Freaks mission...

Shift Work

Fastest Lap - Finish a lap in less than 1:20

Underdog - Finish the race in less than 2:50

Clean Race - Finish the race with less than 5 collisions

A simple street race. Grab a fast car and head to the start line. This will begin a two lap checkpoint race with five other cars. The course winds through the Strawberry, Rancho, and Davis areas. This is a fairly easy race course-wise and opponent-wise as you can get into first place quickly with the right car. When you get into first place then be conservative around the course so you don't smack into things. The traffic isn't too bad so that helps. Finish the race in first place then the encounter is completed successfully.

Some time after this mission, Hao will text with information on Street Races, which will appear at night. Grab a fast car from Vinewood, head to the start line and smoke the opposition. There are 5 in total, and they do count towards 100% completion. Following this, head up to Vinewood for the next Stranger encounter...

Paparazzo

Smack Down - Help Beverley take down Madison on the first try

Picture Perfect - Help Beverley snap three photographs

Beverley, a photographer, ambushes Franklin from a bush, before asking him to help with some photos. Get alongside the limo so Beverley can take some shots. Eventually the limo will speed up and a rival paparazzo will appear to steal Beverley's shots. Exact some retribution by speeding up and getting alongside him, then activate your special so Beverley can knock him off. Drop Beverley off to complete the encounter.

By now, another icon will have appeared across from Franklin's house...

Pulling Another Favor

Time - 5:30

Unhook Bonus

*sigh*... Well, drive Tonya over to the tow truck, get in and head over to the parked car. Hitch it up and drive back to complete the encounter.

Wait a little bit and Tonya will text you saying that JB has gone missing, call her for yet another job...

Pulling Favors Again

Time - 7:00

Unhook Bonus

You know the drill. Drive to the impound, pick up the truck, and drive to the destination, which is some train tracks. Pull up and hitch the car up quickly, then drive to the auto repair shop to complete the encounter.

By now, Beverley will have reappeared in Vinewood...

Paparazzo: The Sex Tape

Quick Dip - Dip in the swimming pool whilst following Beverley

Money Shot - Achieve full facial recognition during the chase (90% min)

Follow Beverley as he enters the hotel grounds and sneak past the housekeepers. Eventually he will lead you to a garden where Poppy and her friend are getting it on. Keep the camera trained on them until you are spotted, then dart away from security and get into Beverley's car. Now keep the camera trained on Poppy as Beverley drives. Once you hit the construction site, Poppy will drive into some pipes and the encounter will be completed.

Call Tonya yet again for...

Still Pulling Favors

Time - 6:00

Unhook Bonus

We are still doing this. Grab the truck and now you have a 5 minute timer to get to the vehicle. Get there, hitch up the vehicle and drive it to the auto repair shop for another easy gold medal.

Wait a bit, and you will be summoned for one last ride...

Pulling One Last Favor

Time - 5:00

Unhook Bonus

Grab the truck, drive to the vehicle, grab it and head to the auto repair shop. Drop it off, then drive back to the impound lot to complete the encounter.

This will finally finish the towing missions. Hooray. That also finally wraps up the Stranger encounters for now, so save and head back to Simeon for the next mission...

Complications

Time - 5:00

Dirt Nap - Knock out the gardener with a stealth attack

Can't Touch This - Don't take any damage during the fight with Simeon

Simeon wants Franklin to retrieve a vehicle from a house up in Rockford Hills. Sounds simple enough.

Head to the house, hop over the gate and stealth attack the gardener for a requirement, then head round back, and find the car parked in the driveway. Climb it, then through the open window to break into the house. Now you have to sneak downstairs, avoiding the occupants. Exit onto the landing and creep down the stairs, then into the garage (or try getting caught for some hilarious fail states). Get into the SUV and drive out of the garage. As you make your way back to the dealership, Michael will emerge from the back seat (what is he doing there?) and threaten Franklin. Once you arrive at the dealership, he wants you to drive straight through the window. Do so, then Franklin will leave and you will auto-switch to Michael. Now engage in a fist fight with Simeon. Just continually punch him until you win as he won't put up much of a fight. Beat him to finish the mission.

You have now unlocked Michael, and can switch between the two protagonists by holding and using to select. I highly recommend hitting the shooting range again to max out Michael's shooting stat, and also get the 25% Ammu-Nation discount again. You will have also opened up two new Stranger encounters, so let's start with the one over in Pacific Bluffs...

Exercising Demons - Michael

Contender - Win the race without using any shortcuts

Meet Mary-Ann, crazed fitness fanatic and giver of three separate stranger encounters. You will have to race her down to the beachfront. I recommend mashing to start to build up a lead, then once you are in front just hold the button and block Mary-Ann off, as sprinting for too long will lead to a loss of health and eventually your character collapsing of exhaustion. Beat Mary-Ann and she will storm off and the encounter will be completed.

Now head over to Legion Square for...

Grass Roots - Michael

Unmarked - Complete the mission with minimal damage to health and armor.

Kill Chain - Kill 7 aliens in 10 seconds

Michael encounters a gentleman named Barry who is campaigning for the legalisation of medicinal plants. He gives Michael a taste, but there are some nasty effects. Simply use the Minigun to shoot the aliens as they approach you until Michael stops hallucinating and flees.

Now let's take a break and make some more progress to 100% completion. Golf and Tennis will have both opened. Golf can be played at Los Santos Golf Course, and Tennis at any of the various tennis courts around the city. For golf, you must get par or better. The controls are fairly straightforward. There is a gauge on the right side of the screen. Pull back on to begin your swinging motion and quickly push up when you reach the yellow point on the gauge. This will complete your swing. You can add spin to the ball in flight, and you also need to take into account wind speed and direction. Beat par to progress towards 100%. For Tennis, all you have to do is beat an opponent. Use and the face buttons to hit the ball. Win for another notch on the completion belt. After this, head to Michael's house, either as Franklin or Michael, for the next mission...

Father/Son

Quick Catch - Catch Jimmy in under 10 seconds

Not a Scratch - Complete the mission with no damage to Amanda's car

Franklin meets up with Michael at his house for the beer Michael promised in the last mission. As they leave, Michael gets a call from Jimmy, who tells Michael his yacht has been stolen, with Jimmy still on it.

Head down to the highway to see the boat on the back of a truck. Chase after it, and get Franklin close enough for him to jump aboard. Continue to follow the yacht until Franklin is attacked by an assailant. Shoot him, then Franklin will find Jimmy. Jimmy will get swept overboard, so quickly get the car underneath him to catch him, then allow Franklin to jump back. Follow the boat, but the car's engine will cut out and the thieves will get away. Drive the car over to Los Santos Customs, get the car repaired, then drive Jimmy and the car back to Michael's house to complete the mission.

After completing this mission, Franklin will have the Bagger, which Lamar stole back in Repossession, delivered to his house. You will now also be able to purchase some properties. Right now only garages are available for $30,000, which are needed for another miscellaneous requirement. Buy one, then go onto the internet and head to the vehicles section. Buy any vehicle, and that will be delivered to your garage. Now let's head back to the story, so head to Franklin's marker at his house for...

The Long Stretch

Accuracy - 60%

Unmarked

Headshots - 10

Time - 10:30

Lamar arrives at Franklin's house along with another homie, Stretch, who has recently been released from prison. Lamar and Stretch criticise Franklin for moving away from the gangbanging lifestyle, and then tell Franklin that something big is going down.

To begin, head over to the nearby Ammu-Nation, where you will be prompted to purchase a Pump Shotgun, along with a Flashlight and Suppressor. Do so, then head to the abandoned warehouse, where you will meet up with none other than D, the same guy you held captive in Chop. Of course, it's a set-up, and you have to fight your way out. Work your way through each room, taking cover and popping out to take down the Ballas with your shotgun. Work your way through the building until you exit outside, where you will be hit with a 3-Star Wanted Rating and a police chopper will appear. Take down the gunman on the chopper, then follow Lamar across the rooftops. Eventually you will drop to the street. Get in the nearby car and lose the cops, then drive home to complete the mission.

The Sawed-Off Shotgun will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Now head to Michael's house for...

Marriage Counseling

Not a Scratch - Complete the mission with minimal damage to the truck

Time - 5:30

Drive-By Killer - Kill 3 enemies whilst in a vehicle

Michael arrives home to discover that his wife has been sleeping with her tennis coach, so Michael chases him out the window, just as Franklin turns up. Follow the coach up into the hills. You will lose him, so just follow the marker to the canyon, where you will spot the coach on the patio of a mansion. Park up, and you will tear the house down. Literally. You will then get a call from the coach, who explains that it wasn't his house at all, and that it was the house of Martin Madrazo, a Mexican crime lord. Two car loads of goons will then show up, so take them out and drive back to Michael's house. Martin himself will then show, and will threaten Michael for a lot of cash for the repair of the house. Michael decides to make some calls, and the mission ends.

After the mission, Michael will be in a park, attempting to contact Lester, an old associate. This will open his marker on the map, however let's head back to Michael's house for the next mission...

Daddy's Little Girl

Fastest Speed - Reach top speed on the Seashark (jetski)

Stabilizer - Win the race without falling off the bicycle

Faster than Fish - Reach the boat in under one minute

As Michael is enjoying a movie, he hears several classic gamer slurs from Jimmy upstairs. He decides enough is enough, and heads upstairs. A smashed television later, Jimmy agrees to go for a bike ride with Michael, so get in your car and drive down to the beach. Once there, approach the bike rental stand and take a bike. Now ride over to the pier, where Jimmy will point out that Tracey is over on a nearby yacht, pleasing producers in an attempt to create fame for herself. Michael is enraged, and leaps off of the pier. Swim over to the boat and climb onboard, where Michael will take Tracey and get on a nearby jetski. Now lose or kill the pursuers, then go to the beach to complete the mission.

Now, before the next story mission, let's take a bit of a detour...

The Epsilon Program

Open your phone, head to the internet, and in the search box type 'epsilon', click on the website and you will see a link for a small personality test. Complete it, and a strangers and freaks icon will appear high in the canyons. Head there, and Michael will read the Epsilon tract only to be knocked out. You will wake in the middle of the desert. Go back to the website and make a donation of $500 to unlock the next part. Head to the Epsilon icon in Vinewood to trigger a cutscene, where Michael will meet Marnie (of GTA IV fame), who tells Michael of 'an incredible education tool' that needs a $5,000 donation. Once the cutscene concludes, head to the website and make the donation.

This will open up another encounter in Grapeseed. Head there, and Marnie will task Michael with collecting some cars for the 'higher beings'. The cars in question are:

1) Pegassi Vacca

2) Benefactor Surano

3) Dinka Double-T

4) Enus Super Diamond

5) Declasse Tornado

These vehicles can be found roaming the world, but once this encounter starts each vehicle will spawn in a specific location. Refer to this excellent map by Skuller 1O1 for the exact locations:

Once you have collected a vehicle, take it to the lockup in Vinewood. After all 5 vehicles have been collected you will receive an email setting up the next encounter back up in Grapeseed...

Chasing the Truth

Use the Force - Find the alien artifact without using the detector

You will be tasked with using an odd object to find some artifacts. Avoid using the detector for an easy gold medal. When you start, head west towards some houses. Eventually you will find an old TV sitting on the ground. This turns out to not be the artifact. From here, head back east until you reach a dry creek bed then turn north along the west edge. Continue until you find a car battery. This is also not the artifact. From here, cross the creek bed to the east edge and head south. Eventually you will find a trio of tree stumps and an old boot. Michael proclaims to have found the artifact and Marnie declares him ready for the next level. This will complete the encounter.

You then need to make two $5,000 donations on the website. This will cause the icon to reappear. Head to it, and Marnie will want you to purchase the Epsilon Robes from the website. Go back onto the website, and purchase the robes for a paltry $25,000, then head back to Michael's house and sleep for 10 days. You will then be summoned for the next encounter by Jimmy Boston, so head over to the icon near Fort Zancudo.

Delivering the Truth

Touchdown - Land the plane without damaging it

Zondar the Bridge - Fly under a bridge along Lago Zancudo

You will have to fly a plane over to Sandy Shores Airfield. Fly low and under a bridge, and make sure to take no damage, for another simple gold medal. Land to complete the encounter. Now wait a day.

The next encounter will spawn out in the desert, and you will be tasked with running 5 miles through the desert. Run to Sandy Shores Airfield, then sprint up and down, or tape the button down and the diagonally and go do something else. Once you are finished, you will be summoned to the Epsilon Building in Vinewood for the final encounter, but you need to bring $50,000.

Unknowing the Truth

Cult Intervention - Kill all Epsilon security, including those at the drop-off point

Show me the Money - Steal the money

Once there, you will be trusted with the task of delivering a car full of cash to a drop-off point. Head there in convoy, but DO NOT drive into the marker. Stop, get out, and gun down every single Epsilon member that opposes you to earn a 3-Star Wanted Rating, lose it to complete the mission and earn another gold medal. You will also get a cool $2.1 million and:

If you failed to kill the Epsilon members and drove into the marker, then you will be rewarded with no money and a tractor. Whoops.

The run in the desert will have undoubtedly maxed out your Stamina, so now is the time to tackle the Triathlons, another objective for 100%. Head down to the beach to get started. These races consist of three portions, a swimming portion to start, then a cycling portion and finally running. If you have your stamina maxed you can just mash and easily beat all other competitors. The third Triathlon is the toughest, as it is around 30 minutes long, so make sure to take a break to stop your wrist and fingers from hurting. Beat all three for another notch on the completion.

With all that done, let's head back to the main story and to Lester...

Friend Request

Time - 8:30

Popups Clear - Clear all of the popups on the programmer's computer within 32 seconds

Lester was one of Michael's partners in his robbery days, and now he spends his time dealing in the stock market. Michael asks Lester to help him get back in the game, but Lester wants Michael to help him deal with a 'lying scumbag', LifeInvader CEO Jay Norris, first.

To start, head over to the SubUrban clothing store and buy some suitably geeky clothes, then head to the LifeInvader offices. Head in, and follow the programmer to his desk, where you will need to close some very naughty pop-ups. After closing them, head into the nearby office to rig the prototype phone with Lester's device. Exit the office, and drive over to Michael's house. Turn on the TV in the living room and find the news channel. Wait for Jay to pull out the phone, then call it for some... explosive results. This completes the mission.

After this mission, you will also receive a call from Rickie Lukens, the programmer who let you into the LifeInvader offices. He knows what you did and subsequently wants some work. He will become available for heists later on. You will also unlock the Bulletproof Tires at Los Santos Customs, so grab Franklin's Bagger and head over there. Mod the bike with all the cheapest mods and change the colour to unlock:

Switch back to Michael now, and you will receive a phone call from Amanda, who is in a spot of bother...

The Good Husband

N/A

Head over to the Didier Sachs store, take the cop car and you will be hit with a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Lose it and head home to complete this mission and receive another simple gold medal.

After this, change into a suit, and head to the icon for the next mission...

Casing the Jewel Store

Time - 8:00

Picture Perfect - Take a picture with all three security systems in the same shot

After some discussion, Lester and Michael decide to hit a jewelry store. Head over to the store and inside. Take a picture standing by the door to get all of the security systems (alarm, camera and ventilation system) in one shot for a requirement. Head out and around the block to find an under construction area. Climb to the roof and find the highest point, then snap a shot of the air duct. Head back down, get back into your car and drive back to the garment factory.

Here is where you will setup your first heist. For heists, you choose the approach and the crew. Crew members all have differing skill levels, with higher skill members wanting a bigger cut of the money. You then perform appropriate setup missions and then the heist itself. For the approach, choose the Smart approach as it is slightly easier. For the crew, select Eddie Toh, as Karim chooses the wrong bikes for the getaway, and also gets lost in the tunnels. For the gunman, choose Packie if you have him as Norm will likely crash on the getaway. For the hacker, choose Rickie as he gives you enough time to grab the jewels, despite being the worst skill-wise. After you select the crew, the mission will be completed.

Michael will call Franklin to enlist his help with the heist, and then you will receive a message from Lester, which opens up...

Bugstars Equipment

Sneaky Pest - Get the van without being detected

Head down to the marker, and drive around the back of the warehouse, on the side closest to the water. Stealth attack the guard, then get in the van, reverse out and drive to the garment factory to complete the mission.

Lester will then tell Michael that you need gas for the job. Luckily, some gas is being transported into Los Santos by van...

BZ Gas Grenades

Loose Cargo - Shoot open the back doors of the van to release the gas

Approach the van on the highway, and start shooting at the back doors. Eventually they will fall off and the grenades will fall out. Grab them, then lose the cops and head back to the factory to complete the setups and immediately begin...

The Jewel Store Job

Quick Grab - Grab the jewelery in under 50 seconds

Protegé Protected - Protect Franklin in the LS River

Clean Sweep - Steal the jewelery from all 20 glass cases

Get into the van and drive over to Vangelico, then you will auto-switch to Franklin. Climb up to the roof and find the spot where you can throw the grenades into the vent. Do so, and everybody in the store will be knocked out. You will then auto-switch back to Michael. Run around the store and grab all of the jewels you can. Even with Rickie as the hacker you should be able to clean the store out completely. You will then auto-switch back to Franklin and be hit with a 4-Star Wanted Level. Follow Eddie and Packie into the tunnels and out into the flood control channel. Another auto-switch to Michael will occur, so use the truck to smash up the cop cars hassling Franklin. Once you reach the end of the canal the bikes will be loaded into the back of the truck. Drive over to the hiding spot to complete the heist and earn:

The Carbine Rifle and Tear Gas will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

With the heist completed, there's nothing left to do but celebrate, so head to Michael's house for...

Mr. Philips

No Survivors - Kill all fleeing bikers

Headshots - 12

Time - 12:00

Trailer Trashed - Cause $5,000 worth of damage to Ortega's trailer

Lost and Damned - Kill Terry and Clay during the chase

As Franklin and Michael celebrate their success, FIB agent and personal associate of Michael's, Dave Norton, arrives to lambast Michael for performing the heist. Across the state, Trevor Philips sees a news report where a witness speaks of his close call with the crew, and recalls a phrase that Michael said to him, the same phrase said in the Prologue. He immediately exits his trailer where he comes across Johnny Klebitz, member of The Lost Biker Gang and protagonist of GTA IV's The Lost and Damned DLC. Trevor proceeds to stomp him and sets out to do some business.

You are now in control of Trevor, the third protagonist. Before heading out to The Lost, I recommend hitting Ammu-Nation and buying some weapons, then head over to the marker. Trevor will encounter Terry and Clay, Johnny's clubmates, and after telling them of Johnny's demise, they ride off. Follow them, and shoot Terry and Clay off their bikes for a requirement. Follow the van for a while, and eventually it will stop at The Lost's hangout. Take cover, and kill every single Lost member in the trailer park. Use Trevor's Special to help.

After cleaning out the trailer park, get back in the truck and drive to the marker to deal with Ortega. Drive his trailer into the river, then decide whether to kill him or let him live. Drive back to Ron's place to complete the mission.

Completing this mission will open up some new activities. Firstly Off-Road Races will open up around the state, so head to and complete each one, six in total, for more progress towards 100%. I also recommend heading to Ammu-Nation and completing the shooting range again for the 25% discount. After that head back to Trevor's trailer for the next mission...

Nervous Ron

Headshots - 5

Time - 12:30

Nervous Twitch - Win the race against Ron

6 Bridges, 1 Plane - Fly under any 6 bridges during the race against Ron

Death on a Wing - Kill all bikers while on the plane wing

The Lost have trashed Trevor's trailer, and smashed his Impotent Rage figure in the process, so it's time to teach them a little bit of respect.

Head to Ammu-Nation to pick up a Sniper Rifle, complete with Advanced Scope and Suppressor, then head over to Sandy Shores Airfield. Once there, climb to the top of the water tower, where you will need to provide overwatch for Ron. Start by bringing your sights on him to start things off. He will point out a biker that is standing near the control tower. Kill him then shoot out the three nearby lights as a Lost van approaches. Wait for the van to stop and the driver to emerge before killing him. Next you need to kill a guard on the top of the tower then one at the bottom then another one at the top. After that then look for Ron again. He will lead you to another building. You will need to kill another guard and his friend that will emerge from the building. After that then Ron will continue moving. Another guard will drive up on a bike. Kill him before Ron is discovered. Then a chopper will show up. Quickly move the scope up and shoot the pilot. This will cause the aircraft to go down and you will go back to ground level. Now you need to secure the airstrip from The Lost.

Use cover and pick off all of The Lost guarding the airstrip. When you clear them out then get in the plane, well, on the wing of the plane. At this point more Lost will show up. Kill them from the wing using the Assault Rifle. Take advantage of the tanker and blow it up to kill several of the bikers. Continue to kill the bikers until you arrive at the next plane. Take off even though you have a biker hanging from the wing. After getting in the air he will eventually fall off. Follow Ron along the canyon until you get to the ocean. Follow Ron to the drop point and drop the cargo into the designated zone, then race Ron back to the airstrip, land and taxi into the hangar to finish the mission.

The Sniper Rifle will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

You will also unlock a few more properties, which I will go over later once we have acquired more money. You will also acquire Sandy Shores Airfield, which can be used to store planes and helicopters for Trevor. Now is also a good time to complete an important Random Event. Following the eastern highway north, you will follow the road through a tunnel and then emerge. Just along the road a random event may spawn in the median of the road, with a burning vehicle and a woman lying nearby. Stop and take the woman over to Sandy Shores before she bleeds out to unlock Taliana Martinez as a crew member for heists.

Another couple achievements can also be earned at this time. Just down the road from Trevor's trailer, a random event may spawn with a drunk couple. Grab a 4-seater car, pick them up, then follow the 'A' icon into the mountains to the Altruist Camp. Stop outside and the couple will be taken by the cult. This will unlock:

Now head out to the stranger encounter out in Grapeseed. You will meet Maude, who specialises in bail bonds, and capturing criminals on the loose. After the cutscene, Maude will send an email detailing the location of the first criminal. If you unfogged the map earlier, look for the quarry on the eastern side of the map. Head there, and head down to the bottom to find him. Shoot him once in the leg, get in the car and drive back to Maude to receive a reward and unlock:

You will also unlock more bail bonds, but they are not required for 100% and so will not be covered here. For now, head back to Sandy Shores and the next stranger...

Target Practice

2 for 1 - Kill 2 coyotes with 1 shot

Pop! Pop! - Destroy the tires with an accuracy of 75%

Bad Signal - Destroy all 3 satellite dishes without missing

Trevor links up with Cletus, a friend and hunter. To start, follow Cletus and shoot the satellite dishes with the Sniper Rifle. Get in the nearby buggy and drive to the abandoned motel. Follow Cletus again. You will then have to shoot tires of passing vehicles. Shoot three, then follow Cletus to the roof. Then shoot some nearby coyotes to complete the encounter.

Now head to the 'C' icon for...

Trevor Philips Industries

Body Count - Kill 32 enemies

Unmarked

Scrap Man - Blow up 6 vehicles

Time - 4:30

Trevor meets up with Cheng and his translator. Cheng appears to be high out of his mind, but Trevor takes him along to see the meth operation.

Once you regain control, drive over to the meth lab. En route, Chef will call and announce that the Aztecas are coming, annoyed with your dealings with Ortega. Once arriving at the meth lab, Trevor decides to show the guys the inside of an ice box. Follow Chef and the Aztecas will arrive. Take cover and pop out and kill them, then follow Chef outside to face another wave. Take them out and then follow Chef to the other side of the building for another wave. After this, Chef will gift you a shiny new Grenade Launcher, so use it to blow the remaining Aztecas to kingdom come. Follow Chef downstairs for one last wave, then Trevor will let Cheng and his translator out, and they will leave, completing the mission.

The Grenade Launcher will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Some time after the last mission you should get a message from Cletus, who wants you to meet him out in Paleto Bay for some hunting.

Fair Game

Downwind - Complete the mission without being detected by any Elk

Heart Hunter - Kill 3 Elk with heart shots

As you walk, Cletus will give you some information on elk hunting. The main thing is to stay downwind of it or it may detect you and run away before you can shoot it, failing the mission. You will now see a wind direction marker in the bottom right corner of the screen. You want the marker to be either pointing towards you or away from the Elk. Go into Stealth Mode and enter the red circle when the wind marker is where you want it. Find the first Elk. It should be behind some rocks and bushes. It's hard to see so wait for it to raise its head. Although you can shoot it in the head it is better to get a body shot for progress towards the requirement. After killing the first Elk then follow Cletus.

He will tell you to use the Elk Whistle. Use it and another one will appear nearby. You can see it easily even though you are out of the red circle. Once again nail it with a body shot. After that then follow Cletus again. Use the Elk Whistle again to bring a mating pair. Cletus only wants you to kill the male Elk - he will have antlers. The problem is that there are some large bushes and trees in the way so you will have to move to a point west of them to get a good shot. After killing the male Elk then Cletus will leave. But he will tell you to hunt another Elk and send a picture of it. After he leaves then use the Elk Whistle to find any nearby Elks. When one appears then find it and kill it with a body shot. Approach the dead Elk, bring out your phone, and use the camera function to take a picture of it. Send the picture to Cletus and he will call you. This will end the encounter successfully.

You will unlock the Hunting activities and the Hunting outfit for Trevor. Hunting is not required for 100% completion so will not be covered here. Now head to the Stranger marker in Sandy Shores for...

Rampage - Rednecks

Kill 45 Rednecks

Blow up 3 cars

Get 2 headshots

Remember Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City had these pesky challenges? Well they're back and overall not too challenging. There are five rampages in total, and you have to kill a certain amount of enemies in two minutes with a predetermined weapon. You can only earn the gold medal on the first try, mission replays do not count. As soon as the cutscene concludes, take cover behind the building and the Rednecks will come from all angles. Stay here, and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Kill at least 25 to complete the encounter.

Now head back to the Chinese contact for...

Crystal Maze

Headshots - 10

Unmarked

2 Birds, 1 Stone - Kill 2 enemies with one shot

Accuracy - 80%

Cheng has decided to renege on Trevor's deal, which greatly angers him. He threatens Cheng to find out who he had struck a deal with. It turns out to be the O'Neil brothers, a bunch of Irish dudes. Trevor decides to show Cheng who is the better option.

To start, head over to O'Neil's Farm. On the way, Trevor will call one of the brothers to tell them he is coming for their head. Once you reach the farm, go up the nearby hill and equip the Sniper Rifle. Use it to carefully pick off the guards by the barn, then the ones on the second floor of the main house, then those just outside the front of the house. If they detect you, equip your favourite weapon and gun them down as they run towards you. Once you reach the front door, equip the Pump Shotgun and go in.

Work your way through the rooms, gunning down any O'Neils. Make your way downstairs into the drug lab, shoot the guard, then pick up the Jerry Can. Switch to it, then hold to leave a trail. Take it outside, following the yellow line on the radar, then shoot it for a picturesque explosion. This completes the mission.

The Jerry Can will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Now head back to Trevor's trailer for...

Friends Reunited

Headshots - 5

Mystery Gift - Plant the bombs without being detected

Unmarked

Perfect Gift - Detonate all 5 bombs at once

Trevor arrives home to find Wade waiting for him. He was unable to find Michael Townley but has located a 'Michael De Santa' with a wife called Amanda. That's good enough for Trevor, so he gives control of his operation to Ron and leaves with Wade for Los Santos...

To start, Trevor needs to head to the trailer park, as another chapter of the Lost have arrived to avenge their brothers. Once you arrive, you need to plant Sticky Bombs on all 5 trailers. As you enter the trailer park, you will see red dots begin to appear. These are the bikers, and you need to kill or avoid them while you plant the bombs. You will also see that they have vision cones as well, showing you which direction they are looking.

After planting the first bomb on the nearest trailer then angle towards the nearest trailer inside the loop of the trailer park. Stay near the north end of the trailer as there will be a couple of bikers riding away. After planting the bomb then head back to the outer edge and continue clockwise. Jump over the next fence and plant the next bomb. There will be a couple of guards nearby but don't bother them. After planting the bomb then jump the fence at the outside edge and continue clockwise. Plant the next bomb and head close to the entrance. What you should do is approach the last trailer from the south since there are a couple of guards nearby.

After planting all five Sticky Bombs then get a safe distance away and detonate them before leaving the park. After that then return to Wade. From here, head to the marker in Los Santos. After the cutscene return to your vehicle and drive to Wade's cousin's apartment in Vespucci Beach. When you get there then follow Wade upstairs to meet Floyd and successfully complete the mission.

Floyd's Apartment will now be your Safehouse.

The Sticky Bomb will now be available at all Ammu-Nations

You will have also unlocked a bunch of new properties for purchase, but I will go over them once we have acquired a bit more money. You are now able to switch between all three characters, and Michael and Franklin will receive their cuts of the Jewel Store Job at this point too. Take this opportunity to go to the newly unlocked Flight School down at Los Santos International Airport and complete the challenges to max your Flying stat and earn some more completion percentage.

Now that you have maxed your Flying stat with at least one of your characters, it is time to tackle the Under the Bridge and Knife Flight challenges. The Under the Bridge challenges require you to fly under 50 bridges around the state in either a plane or helicopter, and the knife flights require you to perform certain stunts while flying vertically in a plane. There are 15 in total. Here are some videos from that man PowerPyx with the locations of the Under the Bridge challenges. I recommend taking the Buzzard from the N.O.O.S.E Headquarters for these.

And here are the knife flights. For these I recommend the Mallard plane, as the military jet is a pain to get. An easy way to get a Mallard is to go to the Flight School and select the Loop-the-Loop challenge. Once you have gone through the checkpoint, ignore the challenge and instead fly around the city, doing the challenges. The beauty of this is that if you crash you don't have to bother wasting any time. Select the challenge again and fly to the challenge again. Another advantage of using the Mallard is the slower speed, which allows you to make adjustments much more safely to complete the challenges.

Complete 25 Under the Bridges and 8 Knife Flights for progress towards 100% completion, but complete all of them to unlock:

The remaining Rampages will also become available. Complete one to unlock the next one. Here are the requirements for the gold medals:

Vagos - 45 kills, 6 headshots, 2 vehicles destroyed

Ballas - 50 kills, 6 headshots, 2 vehicles destroyed

Military - 45 kills, 6 headshots, 2 tanks destroyed

Hipsters - 30 kills, 10 headshots, 2 vehicles destroyed

Complete all 5 to unlock:

Now head to Trevor's Stranger mission up in Vinewood Hills...

Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill

Trevor encounters an eccentric British couple who mistake him for film star Jock Cranley. After Trevor nearly chokes Nigel to death, they explain that they are looking to collect some celebrity souvenirs for their collection. Trevor agrees to help them out.

After the cutscene, Nigel will email Trevor with the details of the celebrities that he wants souvenirs from. This will put multiple orange circles on the map. Start with the one in northern Vinewood...

Vinewood Souvenirs - Willie

Fist Fury - Beat Willie without getting hit

Entourage - Talk to the Entourage before confronting Willie

Enter Tequi-la-la and walk straight past Willie, turn left and head upstairs to find the Entourage. Talk to them to find out Willie is by the stage, but you knew that already. Go down to Willie and beat him up to get his golden tooth, then exit the club and you will get a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Lose the cops to complete the encounter.

Now let's go to the far northern circle.

Vinewood Souvenirs - Tyler

Weed Killer - Stealth attack the gardener

Pilferer - Steal the clothes without being detected

You need to get into Tyler's compound and steal some clothes. Find the south driveway gate, hop over it and stealth attack the gardener. Go round the corner to see Tyler and Poppy in the pool. Wait for Tyler to swim from south to north, then quickly sneak to the clothes and back. Leave to complete the encounter. If you are detected you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating, so you will have to lose that first.

Now head to the golf course.

Vinewood Souvenirs - Mark

Under Par - Steal the golf club in under 30 seconds

Hole in One - Kill Mark with a headshot

FOUR! - Kill Mark's security

Find a golf caddy, then head over to where Mark is. Kill him with the Micro-SMG before he can get away, then grab the golf club. Kill the security, then lose the 2-Star Wanted Rating to complete the encounter.

Now head to the last circle.

Vinewood Souvenirs - Kerry

Hot on the Paws - Stay close to the dog throughout the chase

When you approach Kerry the dog will run off. Follow it until it gets to the fire station, then get close to take the dog's collar and complete the encounter.

Wait about a day and Nigel will reappear...

Vinewood Souvenirs - Al Di Napoli

Stalker - Stay close to Al during the chase

Accident and Emergency - Avoid hitting anything in the hospital

Not a Scratch - Complete the mission with minimal damage to Nigel's car

Nigel has spotted Al Di Napoli, famed film star, and Nigel wishes to have a private conversation with him, however to Al the couple are certified stalkers, and speeds off when you approach...

Get in Nigel's car and stay on Al's tail. He isn't too hard to follow, just keep your distance. Eventually he will smash into a hospital and drive through the ER. Slowly follow him through there and out the window to find he has totaled his car. Nigel will grab him and the encounter will be completed successfully.

Wait another day and Nigel will appear once again.

Vinewood Souvenirs - The Last Act

Skin of Your Teeth - Bail from the car just before the train hits

Locomotivation - Kill Al using the train

Nigel finds himself in a spot of bother. Al is a fussy guest and Nigel wants to do something about him. Trevor decides to take him for a ride...

Your destination is the train tracks. On the way, Al will plead for his life and promise a monetary reward if you release him. Don't bother. Once you reach the train tracks, drive towards the oncoming train and bail using just before the train hits you. The train will crush Al, and the encounter will be completed.

That will end Nigel's missions. At this point, switch to Michael to immediately begin...

Fame or Shame

Bearing Down - Stay close to Lazlow throughout the chase

Fastest Speed - Reach top speed in the Phantom

No, I Can Park Here - Knock out the parking attendant

All Hooked Up - Keep the trailer hooked up during the chase

Michael finds Jimmy's weed in the fridge, and a family argument kicks off. Fabien, Amanda's Yoga instructor, shows up, followed by Trevor. The De Santa family are stunned, and after a tense catch-up, Jimmy tells Michael that Tracey is auditioning for the talent show Fame or Shame. Michael and Trevor head to the Maze Bank Arena to get Tracey back.

Head to the arena. Once there, knock out the guy standing by the curb, then head inside to find Tracey. After Lazlow, the show's host, starts dancing suggestively with her, Michael and Trevor interrupt proceedings and Lazlow flees. Follow him outside and get in the truck. Follow Lazlow's puny car as he takes you across the city and eventually into the LS River. Eventually, Lazlow's car will cease to work and Michael and Trevor confront and humiliate him. This completes the mission and gives you:

After the mission, Michael calls up Dave to set up a meeting at the Galileo Observatory. This puts a 'B' icon on your map.

You can now purchase the Vespucci Helipad and the Airport Hangar. You can also do friend activities now. Call up either of the other two protagonists, then pick up and take them to darts, a bar, the cinema and the strip club for completion percentage. There is also an achievement that can be earned. Grab a 4-door car, then outfit it with bulletproof tires. Call up one of the protagonists, then the other one. Pick up both of them, then drive to the airport. Go onto the tarmac to receive an automatic 3-Star Wanted Rating. Drive laps around the tarmac, avoiding the cops, for three minutes, to unlock:

Let's grab another quick achievement. Link your Rockstar Social Club account to your Xbox Live account in the pause menu. Then head to Ammu-Nation. Grab the Assault SMG for free and all the attachments, then equip each tint to unlock:

Now switch to Franklin and head to the Stranger encounter out in the desert for...

Far Out

Franklin meets Omega, a mysterious individual who believes that the aliens have attempted to contact him, but their ship crashed. Omega then tasks Franklin with finding the parts of the spaceship...

50 Spaceship Parts will now be available for collection around San Andreas. Again, just like the Letter Scraps, use the Buzzard from the N.O.O.S.E Headquarters to speed up collection. Here is another excellent video from PowerPyx showing the locations:

After collecting all 50, Omega will contact Franklin asking to meet at the Wind Farm, where the cutscene The Final Frontier takes place. Omega shows Franklin what he has done, then leaves. You will be rewarded with the Space Docker vehicle and:

Now switch to Michael and head to the observatory.

Dead Man Walking

Headshots - 14

Time - 9:30

Focused Killer - Kill 4 enemies while using Michael's ability

Unmarked

Michael meets up with Dave to discuss the reappearance of Trevor. Dave tells Michael that Trevor is a danger to both Michael's freedom and Dave's career, ao Dave gets Michael to do some dirty work for him. He needs to identify a body being kept under heavy guard, so knocks Michael out to sneak him in...

Wake up to surprise the surgeons. A guard will come to investigate, so sneak up behind him when he turns his back to knock him out and pick up his Combat Pistol. Inspect the toe tags of the two corpses in the opposite room to discover that the right guy is not here. Michael will call Dave, who will tell him to get upstairs, get his weapons and get out. Make your way through the corridors carefully, picking off any agents that appear. Once you reach the stairs, kill the agent on them and head upstairs. Kill a few more agents, then pick up your weapons and head to the window to leap out into the trash. You will now receive a 3-Star Wanted Rating, so grab a nearby car and lose the cops.

Michael will contact Franklin and tells him to meet him outside town, then calls Dave, who wants Michael to meet his employer downtown. Drive over to the oil derricks to meet Franklin. Michael reveals to Franklin the truth about Trevor and his dealings with the FIB, but Franklin pledges to stick around for some more action. After the cutscene the mission is completed successfully.

The Combat Pistol will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Now head over to the plaza for...

Three's Company

Time - 7:30

Accuracy - 60%

Headshots - 10

When you get to the plaza then find Dave. Here you get to meet his boss, Steve Haines. After what has happened at the morgue the I.A.A. has stepped up interrogation of Mr. K, your target in the previous mission, and wants him found before he talks.

After the cutscene then walk with Dave to his car. From here, drive to the oil fields. Along the way Michael is forced to call in Franklin and you also find out that Trevor has been pulled in to do the job involving extracting Mr. K. When you get there then you start a cutscene with all three of them together for the first time.

After the cutscene then you will auto switch to Trevor and you need to fly to the I.A.A. Headquarters. When you get there then you auto switch to Michael and you need to rappel down to where you need to go. When you get to the right spot then use the cinematic camera to see what is going on inside. After seeing Mr. K get interrogated for a while then you will be prompted to smash the window. At this point you need to quickly switch to Franklin who is on the opposite building with a Sniper Rifle. After shooting several of the agents switch back to Michael. When you get back then you need to quickly kill all of the agents before you can leave. Then you will auto switch back to Franklin who now needs to shoot down the approaching helicopters. One will approach you and try to kill you. Shoot the pilot to bring it down quickly. From here, you can switch to either Trevor or Michael.

Don't try to shoot down any more choppers. Just switch to Trevor and let Michael shoot down the choppers as you fly back to the oil fields. As you fly there Michael should be shooting down the other choppers. If things go right then he should shoot down the last chopper just before you get there. If not, just hover above the depot until the last one is downed. After Michael shoots down the last chopper then land the chopper at the depot to successfully complete the mission.

The Heavy Sniper, AP Pistol and RPG will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Call Steve, and he will tell you that the interrogation of Mr. K is about to get underway...

By the Book

Don't Stop Me Now - Interrogate Mr. K without stopping his heart

Electrocutioner - Electrocute Mr. K

The Tooth Hurts - Use the pliers to pull out one of Mr. K's teeth

Wrenched - Hit Mr. K with the wrench

It's Legal! - Waterboard Mr. K

Switch to Trevor to begin a cutscene. Michael and Trevor will be introduced to Devin Weston, millionaire investor and annoying dude. He will leave Trevor to torture Mr. K with Steve, and Michael heads out with Dave to find the target...

Start by driving to the house over in Rockford Hills. When you arrive, it turns out that it is definitely the wrong house. Switch back to Trevor, and use one of the torture devices on Mr. K for a new location. Switch back to Michael, and drive over to the new location to set up camp on the hill with a sniper. Switch back to Trevor for some more torture, then back to Michael. Look at the second floor, and you will see a bearded guy snorting coke off of a table. Shoot this guy to end the torture. Steve leaves Trevor to deal with Mr. K, so Trevor decides to let him go. Drive him over to the airport to complete the mission.

Switch back to Michael and go over to his house.

Did Somebody Say Yoga?

Time - 15:00

Warrior - Complete the first pose without fault

Triangle - Complete the second pose without fault

Praise the Sun! - Complete the third pose without fault

Michael and Amanda have an argument when Fabien, Amanda's yoga instructor, interrupts proceedings for some yoga. Fabien coerces Michael into joining in...

Follow the instructions to perform the exercises. Use the sticks to get into position and then the triggers to inhale and exhale. Once all three poses have been completed, Fabien moves on Amanda to Michael's dismay. Michael charges at Fabien and misses, instead flying into the swimming pool. Amanda announces that they are leaving.

Head up to Jimmy's room. He wants to take a drive to Burger Shot to score some drugs. Head there, then drive home. On the way, Michael will begin to hallucinate, eventually devolving into some seriously weird stuff. After an impromptu skydive, Michael wakes up on some grass near his house. Head home to find nobody home, and a note left saying that the family has moved out temporarily due to Michael's erratic behaviour. This completes the mission.

You lose your personal vehicle for now, but you can still use Amanda and Tracey's cars. Yoga is also unlocked, which can contribute to upgrading your special ability, but is not required for 100% completion. For now, switch to Franklin and head to Beverley.

Paparazzo - The Partnership

Franklin encounters Beverley hiding in a dumpster. Beverley says he has a reality show in development, and needs some pictures of celebrities to boost its profile, so he asks Franklin to get some snaps...

After the cutscene, Beverley will email and two green circles will appear on the map. Head to the nearest one.

Paparazzo - The Meltdown

Thick of It - Stay close to Poppy throughout the chase

DUI Diva - Take a photo of Poppy after she's been handcuffed

Poppy Mitchell is leading the cops on a chase around town. Head to her location, and follow her and the cop as they twist and turn around the city. Eventually, Poppy will crash into a tree. Stop nearby, pull up the camera and zoom in. Take a photo after the cop handcuffs Poppy, then get out of the area to complete the encounter.

Now head to the second circle.

Paparazzo - The Highness

Silent Snapper - Take a photo of the princess without being detected

Royal Drag - Take a photo of the princess buying drugs

When you get to the circle Beverley will call to say that the princess is nearby and buying drugs. Head over to the Hypermarket to meet up with Beverley's contact, then head to the east side of the store to find a dumpster that will take you to the roof. Sneak to the back edge to find the deal taking place. When the guard pulls out the drugs, take the picture then get off the roof and out of the area to complete the encounter.

Now head to the stranger icon with the 'B'.

Grass Roots - Franklin

Barry is still trying to get weed legalised. He gives Franklin a taste, but unlike Michael the weed has no effect on him. Barry then tells Franklin that he needs some supplies for a smoke-in happening soon. After the cutscene, you will get an email from him, which will put two circles on the map. Start with the east one.

Grass Roots - The Pickup

Time - 2:45

Unwanted Outcome - Complete the mission without getting a Wanted Rating

Get into the vehicle to find that you have a four-minute timer to get to Barry's place. There are also unmarked cops around the compound, and if you are spotted you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Drive forward and turn right, then right again. Drive to the end and drop to the grass below, then drive to Barry's. Get out of the truck and get out of the area to complete the encounter.

Head to the other circle now.

Grass Roots - The Drag

Hooked - Keep the stash car hooked until delivery

Time - 1:30

When you find the car, get in to find that the car is defunct. Grab the nearby tow truck and hook the car up. Drive it to Barry's, get out and walk out of the area to complete this encounter.

At this point Beverley should reappear, so head to him.

Paparazzo - Reality Check

Explosive Action! - Kill Beverley and his crew with one shot

When Franklin meets up with Beverley he is shooting his reality show, but when Franklin asks for payment for the pictures, Beverley acts as if they never met. Deal with his rudeness by equipping an RPG and blowing him and his crew up. Mission complete.

Now head over to Franklin's house for the next main mission.

Hood Safari

Time - 7:00

Accuracy - 70%

Headshots - 12

When Franklin arrives home he finds his aunt and Lamar, who chastise him for forgetting his gangbanging roots. Trevor then shows up, and after telling Denise to "get herself something nice", he gets involved in a spot of business with Franklin and Lamar...

Get in the van and drive over to Grove Street for a business transaction. When you arrive, head to the highlighted house. Lamar goes to purchase the block of drugs, but Trevor asks the gangbanger to show the other side. It ends up being drywall, and the whole of Grove Street begins an attack.

Now you need to move up Grove Street, killing the gang members as you go. You'll be able to switch characters if you want, but it isn't required. There are a lot of enemies, so take cover and pop up to cap off the assailants, or flank through the backyards. After advancing up the street a bit you will be slapped with a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Folow Lamar down into the river, where you will requisition some jetskis. Follow Lamar out into open water, then you will split off. Lose the Wanted Rating to successfully complete the mission.

You will also open up the Sea Races, which involve driving a Seashark. Complete all four for progress towards 100%, and if you have earned a gold medal in the Shooting Range, a Street Race, an Off-Road Race, a Triathlon, the Flight School and a Sea Race then you will unlock:

While doing the races you may also hear from Barry, so head over to City Hall for 'Grass Roots - The Smoke-In'. When Franklin arrives, he finds nobody is there. He calls Barry to find him high out of his mind. This will end the encounter. Now switch to Trevor and head over to Barry one last time.

Grass Roots - Trevor

Pre-emptive Strike - Destroy 4 clown vans before any clowns are spawned

Greatest Dancer - Kill 6 clowns while they are dancing

Once again Barry is still campaigning, and this time Trevor has a smoke and, like Michael, falls into a hallucinogenic daze. You will need to survive several minutes against gun-toting clowns. You have the use of the Assault Shotgun, so blast away. Clown vans will also spawn and start generating clowns. Keep blowing them up and killing clowns to eventually end the encounter.

After finishing up Barry, that leaves just one marker over at Floyd's Apartment...

Scouting the Port

Time - 20:00

Employee of the Month - Complete the mission without damaging the containers

Perfect Surveillance - Take all 3 photos of the boat as instructed

An Honest Day's Work - Complete the mission without causing a disturbance at the docks

Trevor finds out that Floyd works the docks, so the two of them and Wade take a drive to see if there is something worth stealing...

Once you regain control, head over to the docks. On the way, Floyd will say that there is a freighter ship being guarded by the mercenary group Merryweather, which Trevor takes an interest in. Once you reach the docks, stop in the markers to drop Wade off, then follow the worker to a container handler. Head to the containers, pick one up, take it over to the marked area and drop it off, then repeat with the second container. Once finished, head to the crane and climb to the top. Then you need to pick up two containers and move them onto the trucks. Once done, head to the vantage point and take the three photos of the freighter as instructed by Ron. Once done, head to the ground and get in the truck with Floyd. Head over to the restricted area, where you will be stopped by security. Floyd will take a beating, while Trevor takes the case. Drive back over to Floyd's Apartment to meet up with a messy Wade.

Then you will set up the Merryweather Heist. There is no crew for this one, so choose whichever approach you desire. I will be covering the Freighter approach here. Pick the approach to successfully complete the mission.

Shortly after the mission Wade will email, which will start the Heist setup.

Minisub

Time - 8:30

No Boarding - Retrieve the Sub without boarding the ship

Once you reach the ship, shoot the cables holding the Sub to drop it into the water. Get in and drive it around to Floyd. Then get in the truck and drive to the warehouse to complete the mission.

Head back to Floyd's apartment to begin the Heist...

The Merryweather Heist

Headshots - 12

Accuracy - 80%

Ninja - Kill 12 enemies using stealth attacks

Container Hunter - Find the package within 60 seconds

No Alarms - Get to the ship interior without being detected

After regrouping with Michael and Franklin at the apartment, it's time to rob Merryweather...

To begin, drive Franklin over to his perch atop the bridge. After dropping him off you automatically switch to him. Take the position indicated. Snipe the two guards, then you will switch to Michael. Plant the sticky bomb on the pillar, then switch back to Franklin. Shoot all of the guards as Michael makes his way around the ship and plants the bombs. After he enters the ship the alarm will be triggered. Snipe the guards as Michael makes his escape. A Buzzard will appear, so snipe the pilot to bring it down. Then take out the rest of the guards and Michael will jump off the ship. Detonate the bombs, then you will switch to Michael.

Use the sonar pings on the radar to locate the package, then you will be switched to Trevor. Drive to the device and pick it up, then drive over to the pier where Floyd is waiting. After bringing the device out of the water, Lester arrives and chews out the team for stealing an experimental super weapon from a massively armed mercenary group. He advises the trio that it should be taken back or all the heat in the country would be onto them. Thus the entire heist has been a waste of time. Great. This completes the mission.

Sadly you won't receive a monetary reward, but something better:

Now that we have unlocked a large portion of the properties, it's time to purchase one that will give a nice money boost. With the poorest character of either Franklin or Trevor, go and purchase the Sonar Collections Dock on the west side of the map for $250,000. This will allow you the use of a Sub to collect 30 barrels of nuclear waste strewn throughout the waters of San Andreas. Once in the sub, use the Trackify app on your phone. The nearest barrel will show up as a red dot. Go from barrel to barrel, collecting them. After collecting all 30, you will have made $690,000 and will also unlock:

Now it is time to prepare for the first assassination mission, which has to be completed before the mission Blitz Play. As all three characters, head on to the BAWSAQ stock market website and invest all of your hard earned money into the Betta Pharmaceuticals stock. Now head to Lester for...

Hotel Assassination

Sniper Boy - Kill the target using a Sniper Rifle

Lester wants Franklin to eliminate a key member in a pharmaceutical company so that he can benefit from the hit...

Head over to the hotel and park in the marker. You will see a countdown appear in the corner. Equip your sniper and aim at the doorway just across the plaza. Once the timer hits zero the businessman will emerge. Headshot him, and leave the area to complete the mission.

Once you have finished, head to your safehouse and sleep a couple of times. The Betta Pharmaceutical stock should top out at the 50% mark, so sell when it hits that point. As soon as you have sold, invest in the Bilkington stock on LCN, which should be around the $30 mark. Once it caps out at 100%, sell that too. This should put you in a decent financial position for now, as well as unlock:

Now go to the FIB marker for a cutscene that sets up the Blitz Play heist. Steve wants the three of you to steal some rainy day funds from the I.A.A for a mission. This puts multiple setup missions on the map. Firstly, grab a fast car from Vinewood and park it in an alley, then call Michael and select 'Mark Getaway Location'. Then head to the southern heist setup.

Tow Truck

Time - 3:00

Not a Scratch - Deliver the Tow Truck with minimal damage

Hawk Down - Shoot down the helicopter as Trevor

Switcher - Switch characters 10 times

You will start as Michael in the trash truck. Drive to Cypress Flats and park in the marker, where you will be switched to Trevor on lookout. He sees the van approaching, then you are switched back to Michael. Park the trash truck across both lanes of the road, then you will be switched to Franklin. Smash into the van with the tow truck, then get out and blow the back doors using the Sticky Bombs provided. This will trigger a 4-Star Wanted Level and a massive battle with the cops. Switch between the characters as you go toe-to-toe with the N.O.O.S.E squads that approach your position.

After defending your position for a while, the cops will thin out and Michael will say to make a break for it. Switch to Franklin, get in the trash truck and drive to where you parked the getaway vehicle earlier. Blow the truck up, then get in the getaway vehicle and drive off. Franklin will call Michael, who says he is about to meet Devin Weston, then you will switch to him. Drive to Devin's house to meet him. He wants Michael to requisition some cars for him, but Michael says he is not interested. After Devin says that he can get Michael a meeting with Solomon Richards, a famed movie director, Michael changes his tune. After the cutscene the mission will be successfully completed.

The Combat MG and Assault Shotgun will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

You will also pick up:

Now head over to Devin.

Devin wants the trio to retrieve some high-profile cars from some trust fund kids...

As Franklin, drive out to the gas station just north of Los Santos to trigger a cutscene where Franklin challenges the kids to a race. Head north as you head towards Grapeseed. Once there, Franklin will call Michael and you will be auto-switched to him. Follow the cars for a while, then the cars will come to a stop on a bridge eventually, and you will take them. Now you need to race back to the rendezvous point, so choose a character and drive back. Once you arrive, you find out that the order was for five cars and that Devin will not be paying the trio until the list is completed. He lets Michael go as he is not required for the next task, and you will switch to him as the mission is completed.

The Nightstick will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Now switch back to Franklin and head out to the oil fields...

Eye in the Sky

Not a Scratch - Deliver the Z-Type with no damage

Eavesdropper - Eavesdrop on three different conversations

I See You - Find Chad in the parking garage on the first attempt

Trevor and Franklin are tasked with finding the Z-Type, which a man named Chad Mulligan has put into storage. Trevor has a police helicopter to help...

As you take control of Trevor in the helicopter, get familiar with the controls. Scan Franklin, then point the camera to the next destination. Once you arrive, eavesdrop on the conversations, then scan the bodies to find Chad isn't there. Head to the next set of people, and scan them to find Chad. Follow Chad as he leads you to the garage. However, once Franklin confronts Chad he speeds off in the Z-Type. Now you need to follow Chad as he weaves through the streets of Los Santos. Eventually he will disappear into a parking garage.

Trevor will position the helicopter to look into the parking garage. Find Franklin in the middle, then zoom in and scan the furthest left body to find Chad. You will be switched to Franklin. Knock Chad out, then take the Z-Type. Franklin will call Molly, who will tell Franklin to bring the car to the airport. If you didn't knock out Chad you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating here. Drive to the airport and into the hangar to meet Devin to complete the mission.

Now switch to Michael and head over to Solomon.

Time - 10:00

Silent Assassin - Knock out 3 enemies with stealth attacks

Perfect Touchdown - Land the Frogger with no damage

Michael meets up with Solomon to find that he is planning a movie, Meltdown, but the lead actor has a new agent, Rocco Pelosi, who is trying to renegotiate for a better deal. Solomon wants Michael to talk some sense into him...

Head over to East Los Santos. On the way, Solomon will call to tell Michael to deal with Rocco and bring the talent back to the studio. Once you arrive, you will need to sneak to the roof. Climb up the ladders, incapacitating any workers you come across with a shot to the head. Once you reach the helipad, Michael will confront Rocco, which starts a fistfight. Mash punch to easily defeat him, then get in the chopper. Now you need to scare Anton and Milton into submission. Fly under the nearby bridges to scare them, then fly back to the studio and land, then go to Solomon to complete the mission.

After this mission you will get a call from everybody's favourite Mexican crime lord, Martin Madrazo. Head over to his villa for...

Time - 9:45

One Two Three - Take down the plane using only three shots

After Trevor and Martin get acquainted they are told to kill Martin's cousin who has some files of his...

As Michael, you need to head over to Galileo Observatory. Once you arrive, find the van and get in to find a massive anti-air gun. Target the red circle on the plane and shoot it three times to bring it down, then you will auto-switch to Trevor on a dirt bike. Follow the obvious route that the plane leads you down until the plane crashes. Head to the wreck, gun down Javier and pick up the files, then you will be auto-switched to Michael. Take the van out of the area and blow it up. Trevor will call and tell Michael to meet him at the Stoner Cement Works. Drive there to find out that Martin and Trevor had a bit of a disagreement, and so Trevor has kidnapped his wife. This doesn't sit well with Michael, but it completes the mission.

You will obtain:

You also cannot go back to Los Santos as Michael or Trevor for now as you will be attacked by Martin's goons. You also cannot use any businesses or safehouses. For now, you are auto-switched back to Franklin, so head over to the movie studio for...

Fastest Speed - Reach top speed in the JB700

Stealthy Recasting - Knock out the actor with a stealth attack

Premature Ejector - Use the ejector seat within 10 seconds

Head to the car and get in, then you will be assaulted by studio security. Hightail it out of there, then use spikes () to get rid of the pursuers. Eject the woman, then Franklin will call Molly, who tells him to bring the car to the garage, but that there has been a suspicious figure seen nearby. Head to the garage to meet up with Devin, only for Lamar to interrupt. Devin brings him in on the job, much to Franklin's dismay. This completes the mission.

Now head over to Michael's house.

Minor Turbulence

Accuracy - 80%

Four Wheel Flyer - Exit the cargo plane in the Mesa

Franklin arrives at Michael's house to find that nobody is home. He calls Michael up to find out they are hiding out in the countryside. Ron then appears to tell Trevor that a shipment of Merryweather weapons is inbound. Trevor heads out to requisition them...

To begin, head over to the airfield and get into the plane. You will need to get close to the cargo plane, but stay low to avoid detection from Fort Zancudo. Fly all around the rim of San Andreas, and eventually you will be notified that you no longer have to worry about the military. Climb, and fly the plane into the back door of the plane to make a dramatic entrance. Equip your shotgun, and move up, gunning down the guards as you go. Once you get to the end, climb the ladder and gun down the pilot. Take control of the plane and begin to fly it back to the airfield. On the way you will be accosted by two military jets. They will shoot your plane, and it will start to fall, so Trevor will abort. Get in the nearby jeep and drive out the back, then jump out and skydive down. Land to complete the mission.

The Parachute will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

You can now switch between all three characters once again. Switch to Trevor, and head to the new stranger encounter.

The Civil Border Patrol

Mariachi My Ride - Steal the band's Tornado after stopping them

Stop the Music - Stop the band within 40 seconds

Trevor encounters a pair of dimwits looking to protect the country's borders from any illegal immigrants. After using a device to locate some evildoers, Trevor is dragged along for the ride...

Get out of the car and use the provided stun gun on the miscreants, then get in their car. The Border Patrol will depart, and the encounter will be completed.

The Stun Gun will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Now switch to Franklin and head over to his stranger encounter at Galileo Observatory...

Risk Assessment

Free Faller - Fall for 7 seconds before opening the parachute

Big Air - Get 2 seconds of air during the race

Downhill King - Win the race

Franklin encounters a stray dog which... talks to him? Anyway, follow the dog down the way to find a guy tangled up in a tree. Franklin rescues him, and he introduces himself as Dom a.k.a the 'Dominator' and a helicopter is called in. Get in to be transported high above Mount Chiliad. Base jump out, and float down to the peak, where you will engage Dom in a bicycle race. It is really easy to fall off the mountain, so be careful and use the brake to maneuver the various bumps. Don't focus on passing Dom, because right before the line you can cut in front of him to beat him. This completes the encounter.

This encounter unlocks the Parachuting activity, which does need to be completed for 100% completion. There are 13 jumps, including 7 helicopter jumps and 6 base jumps. They are all fairly easy to complete, and completing them is also required for Dom's final encounter. Anyway, once you have completed the jumps, head over to the airport to meet Dom again.

Liquidity Risk

Dive Bomber - Survive a water landing without opening the parachute

Sky Blazer - Perform 8 flips on the ATV

To start, drive the ATV into the back of the cargo plane. After being transported high above the Alamo Sea, you will need to drive out the back. Perform as many flips as you can then leap off and aim for a heavy landing straight into the water. After landing, swim to the shore to meet Dom and complete the encounter.

After this encounter, Dom will contact Franklin and tell him to meet up at the top of the Maze Bank building. Grab a helicopter from either the N.O.O.S.E Headquarters or one of the heli jump locations, then fly to the top of the building for the next encounter.

Targeted Risk

Dare Devil - Fall for 8 seconds before opening the parachute

Bullseye - Land perfectly on the back of the truck

You will have to jump off the top of the building and land on the truck. The Dare Devil objective is really tough. The best method is to wait until Dom says the word 'accelerating', then open the parachute and move quickly from left to right to gain enough speed to land on the truck. Land on the back of the truck to complete the encounter.

If you have completed all of the parachute jumps, Dom will then appear at the dam about a day after the last mission.

Uncalculated Risk

Leap of Faith - Jump after Dom and survive the fall

Franklin encounters that pesky dog again, who warns him that Dom will kill himself. Head down to the dam to find Dom, who jumps off and splatters all over the bottom of the river. Follow him, but pull the parachute and land to complete the encounter.

This, of course, ends your encounters with Dom. Now switch to Trevor, and head out to the icon up at Mount Chiliad.

An American Welcome

Downed - Stop the first group of immigrants within 30 seconds

Double Downed - Stop the second group of immigrants within 55 seconds

Shock and Awe - Stop all immigrants with the Stun Gun

Trevor encounters the border patrol again, who take him on another great adventure. To start, chase the suspect on the ATV and knock him off. Wait for him to get into the car, then drive out to the Cement Factory to see two suspects take off on bikes. They are faster than you, so persist with the chase until you hit the road. Stop the bikes, then pull up to let them in. Get out of the car and the border patrol will drive off, completing the encounter.

Now wait a bit more, and the icon will reappear up in Paleto Bay. Head there.

Minute Man Blues

What Goes Around - Use the Stun Gun on Joe and Josef before killing them

No Migration - Kill Joe and Josef before leaving the farm

Trevor runs into one of the 'immigrants' that he helped the border patrol capture earlier, and it turns out that his family has lived in the country for 200 years. Trevor decides to help the immigrants out by dealing with the Border Patrol...

Head over to the farm to see Josef milling about out front. Stop, get out and snipe him, then get back into your car and approach the red dot to see Joe bust out of the barn in a tractor. Shoot the tires out with the Micro-SMG, then kill Joe to complete the encounter.

There is only one icon left, so head to the FIB icon for the...

Paleto Score Setup

Leisurely Drive - Drive to the bank within 3 minutes 30 seconds

Winner - Win the race back to the meth lab

Trevor and Michael meet up at the meth lab and get into a nasty argument, then Dave and Steve turn up and inform the duo that a rival agency is developing a nerve agent, and they need to conduct a raid to procure it, however they don't have the funds, so Michael and Trevor have to find the money themselves...

Start by driving over to Paleto Bay. On the way, Michael will call Lester, who will say that he will meet them there. This is the 'bank in the sticks' that Lester mentioned earlier on in the game. Once you get there, Michael and Trevor will wait around for Lester to turn up. Once he does, head over to the bank. Focus on it, then head round back. Lester will suggest shooting the alarm to see the police response. Do so, then drive over to the nearby gas station. Nothing will happen at first, but a bunch of cops will turn up, and you will find out roadblocks have been set up. Trevor will leave the car and get on a nearby bike. You will now have to race back to the meth lab. Once you get there you will have to choose a single gunman for the heist. Use Packie if you used him before, as his stats will be pretty much maxed out. After making your choice, the mission will be completed.

Regardless of who you finished the mission with, you will automatically be controlling Trevor, who will immediately get a call from Franklin, who is tailing the O'Neil brothers, who are headed to deal with Trevor. Head to Trevor's house to begin...

Predator

Accuracy - 70%

Time - 9:00

Headshots - Take out all three brothers with a headshot

Thin the Herd - Don't kill any animals when searching for the brothers

Trevor arrives home to find that Martin's wife has cleaned the place up. It seems that she is less of a hostage and more of a housewife. After stopping Trevor from taking a puff of gasoline, Trevor tells Michael about the trouble that Franklin has uncovered. This unsettles Michael, so Trevor leaves, but Michael goes along anyway...

To begin, start to drive towards Franklin's position. After a short distance you will be auto-switched to Franklin, who is tailing the O'Neils. They spot you, so chase them a ways down the road. Eventually they will encounter an elk in the middle of the road and crash. Get out of the car and head to the wreck to find that it's empty. Franklin will then call Trevor, and you will switch to him. Drive to the airfield and get in the chopper, then fly over to Franklin. Once there you will switch to Michael, who is using a thermal sight to locate the brothers. First look to the lower left of the forest to find the first brother near the water. Take him out, then look towards the middle to see the second brother among the animals. Kill him, then look towards the road. The third brother will begin to attack the chopper with an RPG.

You will then auto-switch to Franklin. Follow Chop, but head north-east across the creek and reach the road, then head south. The third brother will run straight towards you, so kill him, then switch to Trevor. Land the chopper to pick up Franklin and Chop, then fly back to the airfield to complete the mission.

Shortly after this, Lester will text about military hardware which is being moved into Fort Zancudo. This will put a 'Hs' icon on the map.

Military Hardware

Head Hunter - Take out 5 soldiers with a headshot

Sticky Strategist - Stop the convoy with a sticky bomb trap

Speed ahead of the convoy, stop and get out. Place a sticky bomb on the road, then wait for the convoy to approach. Once the first jeep drives over the bomb, detonate it and open fire on the convoy. Take out the soldiers, then grab the truck and take it to the meth lab to complete the setup.

Immediately following the mission, you will call Lester with the news. Now head into the meth lab for...

The Paleto Score

Let It Rain - Fire over four thousand bullets

Accuracy - 50%

Time - 16:00

Collateral Damage - Cause at least $1 million worth of damage to Paleto Bay

Starting as Michael, make your way to Paleto Bay and drop Franklin off at the marker. Now head over to the bank. You will go in for a classic hold-up. Packie will breach the vault, then go in and pick up the money. A whole lot of police reinforcements will have arrived, so you exit the bank with some heavy firepower. Oh yes. Use the Minigun to decimate the horde of cops just outside. It should be noted that you will lose a bit of the take when you are shot. Blow up the arriving chopper, then head into the apartment complex. Franklin will message to say that the boat escape is a no-go.

Proceed forwards and blow everything away as it approaches. Eventually the Army will join the party. Kill them too. Eventually they will call in a tank. Switch to Franklin to find him in a bulldozer. Drive down the street incredibly slowly, running over the soldiers. Pick up the group, then drive east to the factory to drop them off. Head inside, and gun down any and all soldiers that oppose you. Eventually the train will turn up, so get on. This will start a cutscene where Agent Sanchez will give you some money, then say that Steve will call in due course. This completes the heist.

You will also pick up:

The MG and Minigun will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

Shortly after this mission you should see a 'F?' icon up in Paleto Bay. Head there as Franklin for...

Exercising Demons - Franklin

Contender - Win the race without taking any shortcuts

This crazy woman again. Take her on in a simple checkpoint triathlon. Swim across the water, get on the bike and ride through the checkpoints. Watch out for the stunt jump, as you can easily fall, but you should be able to catch Mary-Ann on the running portion. Win the race to complete the encounter.

This will be the last stranger encounter for Franklin, and so fully fill out the Strangers and Freaks category for 100% completion. Now switch to Michael and head over to Trevor's house for the next mission.

Derailed

Time - 11:30

Fastest Speed - Reach top speed on the Sanchez

Better Than CJ - Jump onto the train on the first try

Michael arrives at Trevor's place, where he is informed by Ron about the monthly Merryweather train, which apparently carries quite a large portion of gold. The pair decide to requisition the gold in the hopes of paying off Martin and returning to Los Santos...

Beginning as Trevor, get on the bike and get to the train. There will be a series of ramps to the sides of the train that you can use to leap on top. Get on there, then speed along the narrow train to the front, where Trevor will take control. Blow past the train station, then you will switch to Michael in a dinghy. Head to the rail bridge to see a spectacular train collision, then chuck a Sticky Bomb on the marked container and blow it open. You will then switch to Trevor to protect Michael from the approaching Merryweather forces. Shoot the forces on the boats and shoot down the choppers, then nail the snipers on the bridge above. Merryweather will then send in parachuters, so gun them down.

Things will finally calm, so wait for Michael to get into the boat, then you will speed down some rapids. Stay as Trevor, and shoot the boats that follow you. Once you reach open waters, you will auto-switch to Michael. Head to the beach, where Michael wants to take the loot to Madrazo as a peace offering, but Trevor wants to take it for himself. Michael, however, offers Trevor something more, the Union Depository. Trevor reluctantly agrees. This completes the mission.

Shortly after, Michael will get a call from Steve, who believes that it is time to go after the nerve gas now that everything is in place...

Monkey Business

Time - 13:30

Accuracy - 70%

Headshots - 15

Stunner - Stun 8 enemies with the Stun Gun

When the trio arrive at the meet it appears that they were supposed to bring some additional members along for the job. After a bit of disagreement between Steve and Dave, they agree to take part in the proceedings...

Starting as Michael, drive over to the marker to dive underwater. Swim into the discharge tunnel, then use the wire cutter to cut the grate. Once through, swim forward a little more to surface. Here you will automatically equip a Stun Gun. Head forward to encounter some civilians. Stun them, then use the elevator. Stun the guy inside and take his security card. After the elevator ride, stun the two scientists, then head through to encounter some guards. Either take them down or let them pass, then head into the room with the nerve gas for a standoff. The door to the room will only open from the inside, but the scientist inside won't let you in. Stun his friend that appears, then he will let you in.

Grab the nerve gas container. This will set off the alarm. Equip your assault rifle, then move through the corridors, taking out any goons that appear. After you reach the loading bay, take out the guards, then place the nerve agent in the fridge outside. You will then auto-switch to Trevor in a Cargobob. Lower the chopper to attach the container and trigger a cutscene. Response teams have arrived and Steve wants to abort, fearing a release of the gas. Michael doesn't care, and tells Steve to come up with a solution. Steve shoots himself in the leg as a distraction. Fly the chopper back to the airfield, and lower the container onto the trailer, then land the chopper. In the ensuing cutscene, Michael receives a message from Lester saying that the item retrieved in the last mission was enough to square things with Martin. You will then switch to Trevor, who is in the process of returning Martin's wife. Drive over to the ranch to complete the mission.

You can finally head back to Los Santos now. Michael will have his personal vehicle returned to him by Jimmy as well. As Trevor, head to the marker at Floyd's Apartment...

Hang Ten

Time - 4:00

Trevor arrives back at Floyd's apartment and meets his girlfriend Debra, who snaps and pulls a gun on Trevor and Floyd. A quick cut later, Trevor is leaving the apartment with blood all over him. Wade arrives, but Trevor decides that a new safehouse is in order.

Drive over to the Vanilla Unicorn strip club. Trevor will take it over, then you will be switched to Michael, who is talking to Lester about the Union Depository job. He also tells Michael that Trevor has taken over the strip club. This completes the mission.

You will now notice a new stranger encounter for Trevor, so head there for Extra Commission, where Trevor meets a real estate agent, Josh, who is struggling with his rival, Lenny Avery. He tells Trevor to destroy all of Lenny's 'For Sale' signs. After the cutscene, head to Lenny Avery's website, and select a property. Click 'Get Directions', then head to the location. Shoot the sign, then rinse and repeat for all of the properties. After taking out all of them, the encounter will be completed. Shortly after this, Josh will text and set up the next encounter.

Closing the Deal

Pulverizer - Beat up Lenny with a melee weapon

Seized - Stop Lenny within 40 seconds

Trevor arrives at the motel for some 'bouncy-bouncy' with Josh's lady friend. After this, Josh tells Trevor to deal with Lenny. Head up to Rockford Hills. On the way, Josh will call to tell Trevor that Lenny drives a green Comet. Once you arrive, locate the car and force it to stop. Once Lenny gets out, beat him with a melee weapon. He will flee, and the encounter will be completed successfully.

Shortly after the mission, Josh will appear again.

Surreal Estate

Out of the Frying Pan - Complete the mission without alerting the cops

Pyromaniac - Pour the gasoline trail perfectly in one go

After partaking in some more 'bouncy-bouncy', Josh tells Trevor to burn his house down so he can claim insurance. Head over to the house and jump the low fence, then head around back and pour the gasoline trail. Shoot the trail, then get out of the area to avoid alerting the cops. When you get far enough away Trevor will call Josh to report his success, completing the encounter.

Soon after this encounter, Josh will appear again.

Breach of Contract

Dirty Rat - Kill Josh before escaping

Hot Pursuit - Escape in the parked police cruiser.

When Trevor meets Josh outside his ruined house he is talking to the cops. He then blames Trevor for the destruction of his house. This gives you a 3-Star Wanted Level. Shoot Josh, then get in the police car and lose the wanted rating to complete the encounter.

This finishes Josh's encounters for good. Now let's head over to the Vanilla Unicorn...

Surveying the Score

Time - 11:00

Perfect Distance - Follow the armored cars without being warned on distance

Cavity Search - Find the construction entrance within 20 seconds

Under the Bridge - Fly under a bridge while following the armored cars

Tunnel Flight - Fly through the tunnel while following the armored cars

When the trio arrive at the Vanilla Unicorn, Lester fills them in on 'The Big One', the heist that will set them up for life. Firstly, they have to scope out the Union Depository...

Starting as Michael, head over to the bank. Focus on the front, then head round back and focus on the back. Switch to Trevor, and head over to the airfield to get the chopper. Get in, and fly over to Murrieta Heights to find the armored cars. Tail them for a while until they go through a tunnel and then out the other side. Once they do Michael and Franklin will pick them up. Now fly around the back of the building to find the construction entrance (a massive hole in the ground). Hover for a minute so Lester can take some pictures, then fly back to the airfield to complete the mission.

Now head over to Michael's house.

Bury the Hatchet

Time - 11:00

Accuracy - 80%

Headshots - 20

Michael and Trevor have a chat in the living room about current affairs, when the topic of conversation turns to Brad, who Trevor believes is in prison. Trevor then begins to wonder who was buried in the place that Michael was meant to be buried. After realising it could be Brad, Trevor decides to go to North Yankton to see for himself...

Depending on who you arrived at the house with, the opening segment of the mission will be different. If you arrived as Michael, you will have to drive to the airport. On the way, Michael will call Trevor and try to reason with him, but ultimately fails. He will then call Dave to let him know that Trevor found out. Once you arrive at the airport, Michael is tailed onto the plane by some Chinese men, who call him the 'boyfriend'. Once you reach Ludendorff you will be in a car. Drive to the cemetery for the next part.

If you started as Trevor, drive over to the airfield and get in the plane. Fly to the marker to automatically be transported to the graveyard. At the grave, Michael finds Trevor digging it up. He opens it to find that it is indeed Brad that is buried in Michael's place. This angers Trevor, who pulls a gun on Michael. They have a standoff, which is rudely interrupted by the Chinese, who open fire on the pair. Trevor flees, and now you have to fight your way out of the cemetery.

Gun down the initial wave of goons, then grab one of their assault rifles. Head to the upper part of the graveyard and take cover as more Chinese come flooding in. Take them down, then move up little by little to trigger the arrival of some more. Gun them all down, then head to the car to find that it was sabotaged by Trevor. Michael is captured, and you are auto-switched to Trevor, who is flying back to the airfield. Cheng Sr. calls Trevor and announces that he has got Michael. Trevor tells him to do whatever he wants. Land back at the airfield to complete the mission.

This unlocks:

You can't switch to Michael for now, so switch to Franklin and head to the next mission.

Pack Man

Time - 12:00

Not a Scratch - Complete the mission with minimal damage to the JB700

Shredder - Disable three police vehicles with spike strips

Franklin is met by Lamar outside his aunt's, who tells him that he has boosted the last car and they are ready to deliver to Devin...

Walk round the corner with Lamar and get into the Monroe, then drive to the garage and put the car on the Packer. You will now auto-switch to Trevor, who is driving the Packer, and you will need to drive all the way up to the truck stop just east of Paleto Bay. Trevor and Lamar will discuss the situation with Michael while Franklin sleeps. Once you pass the penitentiary you will be hit with a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Franklin will climb onto the outside of the Packer in order to release the JB700. Keep the Packer steady, then once Franklin reverses off switch to him. Now use the spike strips to disable the police cruisers. After disabling a couple you will lose the wanted rating, so drive the short distance to the truck stop to meet up with Molly, who announces that the crew's money is being frozen in one of Devin's savings accounts and will not be distributed to them until an unspecified later date. This completes the mission.

After this mission Franklin calls Lester in order to find out where Michael is. Lester notices a lack of activity on Michael's credit card, and asks Trevor to meet Franklin at his aunt's house...

Fresh Meat

Switch Limiter - Complete the mission without switching characters more than three times

Accuracy - 70%

Headshots - 10

Swift Rescue - Save Michael within 3 minutes 30 seconds

Sense of Direction - Find Michael without using the Trackify app

Trevor meets up with Franklin at his aunt's house, where they have a brief confrontation after Trevor trips over a fence. Franklin gets Trevor to spill the details on Michael's kidnapping, but refuses to help Franklin rescue him. So Franklin goes it alone...

Franklin calls Lester, who suggests using the Trackify app to find Michael's cell phone. You then auto-switch to Michael, who is hanging upside down and is being interrogated by the Chinese on the whereabouts of Trevor. You will then switch back to Franklin. As you start, turn left onto Carson Avenue. Drive southeast until Carson Avenue ends and you turn left onto El Rancho Boulevard. Follow the road east until you reach the slaughterhouse where Michael is.

Find the front entrance and gun down the goons, then proceed into the building and gun down all of the goons in your way. Once you reach Michael, Franklin will toss him a pistol. Switch to him, and shoot the goons coming from where you came. You will then auto-switch back to Franklin. Kill the next two goons, then you will be jumped by a goon wielding a knife. Switching back to Michael, shoot the goon to rescue Franklin, then Michael will free himself. Switch back to Franklin and fight your way out of the slaughterhouse. Once you are out, wait outside for some more guys to show up. Kill them, then take Michael home to complete the mission.

Now let's head over to the film studio...

The Ballad of Rocco

Time - 3:00

As Michael arrives at the studio he witnesses Solomon being attacked by Rocco, who is upset about what happened earlier. When Michael gets involved he takes off. Solomon wants Michael to give chase...

Get in the nearby car. Catch up to Rocco and throw a Sticky Bomb on the car. Detonate it, then quickly drive away to avoid a wanted rating. Michael will then call Solomon, who will invite Michael back to the studio to show him something. Accept and head there to find that Michael has been credited as 'Associate Producer' on Solomon's new film, Meltdown. This completes the mission.

Make sure you have recruited Taliana Martinez to your crew, then head over to the garment factory for the next mission...

Cleaning Out the Bureau

Eagle Eye - Check all of the license plates

He Missed a Spot - Follow the janitor without being spotted

Time - 9:00

Michael arrives at the factory to meet up with Lester, and tells him of his troubles with Trevor. They decide to put the Big Score on hold for now until they can get Trevor back on board. Steve and Dave then arrive and want the gang to break into the F.I.B Building to erase the details of their past criminal activities. Simple enough, right? Michael and Lester head to scope out the place...

Get into the car with Lester, then drive over to the building. Lester has found a temp janitor that the crew can easily turn to their side. Zoom in on the license plates until you see the right one. Now tail the janitor back to his house from a safe distance. Follow him inside, where Michael will easily persuade him to help. Get back in the car and drive to the garment factory, where Lester explains that they will need some blueprints. Franklin goes off to tail the guy who has them. This completes the mission.

A new marker will have opened at Michael's house, but stick around for a second and Franklin will text Michael about tailing the architect. Switch to him to begin...

Architect's Plans

Quick Getaway - Leave the construction site in under 45 seconds

Enter the site and tail the architect. After being tossed a hard hat the architect will go up an elevator. Go up the other one, them continue tailing him through an area with some workers. Once he passes them, knock him out and take the briefcase, then head back down the elevator and leave the construction site to the south, then drive back to the garment factory to plan the heist. You will have the option of either the Roof Entry or Fire Crew approaches. Choose the roof entry, then pick Rickie as the hacker, Packie as the gunman and Taliana as the driver for the best setup for the Big Score later on. Confirm your approach to complete the mission.

There are no setup missions for the roof entry approach, so wait around for a second and Lester will text to say that the heist is on. Head back to the garment factory.

The Bureau Raid

No Innocents - Don't kill any innocent civilians

Perfect Drop - Land on the roof without stumbling

Hacker - Hack the system within 45 seconds

Headshots - 20

Accuracy- 70%

Time - 19:00

To begin, leave the factory and get in your car with Franklin. Drive over to the N.O.O.S.E Headquarters to pick up the chopper from the helipad, then fly up to the drop point. Jump out, and land on the roof of the building using the precision landing. You will cut the glass and make your way inside. Go to the server room to find the door is locked. Plant a Sticky Bomb and blow it to set off the alarms, then use the terminal inside. Go into My Computer, then the external drive and HackConnect. Now you need to find the sequence of numbers among the code that matches the one at the top, but the numbers are moving around. Once you find it, select it, then select the BruteForce program. Select each red letter as it comes through the middle row to get the password, then use Down&Out to start the download. You will now have to defend your position for two minutes.

Gun down the incoming goons with your Assault Shotgun. Your helicopter will arrive for the extraction but will be shot down. Once the download is complete, pick up the phone. Now you need to make an exit. Go down the stairwell to a heavily destroyed floor. Rickie will have failed to shut off the sprinklers, but assisted aiming will make killing the goons easy. Continue on, gunning down the goons as you continue to descend the floors. Eventually you will reach a room where you can rappel down to the ground. Do so, then shoot down the chopper with the Combat MG. Get down to ground level, kill a couple more goons, then find the nearby Ambulance, your getaway vehicle. Drive back to Franklin's house for a celebration and the completion of the mission.

Michael gets nothing, but Franklin will receive a fair bit of cash for the heist. You will also unlock:

Michael will then call Dave to tell him that he is done and is not doing anything else for the Bureau. Dave says that Trevor's repeated attacks on Merryweather has lead to the Bureau investigating Dave. This sets up a meeting at the Kortz Center...

The Wrap Up

Time - 7:00

Headshots - 18

Buzz Off! - Shoot down the pursuing helicopter

Once you reach the Kortz Center make your way to the upper level to meet up with Dave. Michael wants to finish things but Dave says that it's not that simple. Steve then shows up and wants Agent Sanchez to arrest Michael and Dave. They pull guns on each other, and during the standoff the I.A.A. turn up, followed by the F.I.B. seconds later... followed by Merryweather. What a mess.

Of course a massive shootout breaks out. Take out the nearby enemies swiftly with the Assault Shotgun, then make your way forwards to find that Merryweather has blown up the stairs, so you will have to make your way the long way around to get to Dave. Head forward to be ambushed by a Merryweather chopper. You will then be auto-switched to... Trevor? The main man is up on the adjacent roof with a Sniper Rifle. Shoot down the chopper, then all of the goons down below. Switch back to Michael and proceed forward, killing all N.O.O.S.E, F.I.B, I.A.A, whatever. Descend the stairs to meet up with Dave, then switch to Trevor and move from your position, gunning down the goons. Switching back to Michael, you will be killing off the final goons, then you will leave to meet up with Trevor. Take down the chopper, then head over to Morningwood to meet up with Trevor. Trevor explains that he came back for Michael because of the Big Score that was promised. They call Lester, and the heist is back on. This completes the mission.

Michael will be called by Dave, who explains that they can pin all of their criminal activities on the now-deceased Agent Sanchez, but warns Michael about Trevor, and that he may have to be dealt with in the future.

Now we have finally finished our dealings with the F.I.B, let's go over to Michael's house...

Reuniting the Family

Time - 10:30

Michael is lazing around at home when Jimmy walks in and starts ranting to Michael about his life. He then explains that Amanda is still mad at him and wants him to do something about it...

To begin, head over to the coffee shop to see Amanda and Fabien. After Fabien continues to make snarky comments, Michael decides enough is enough and smashes him over the head with a laptop. Michael and Amanda then agree to meet up at Dr. Friedlander's office to reconcile. Now head over to the tattoo parlor to see Tracey begging Lazlow to let her back on Fame or Shame. Disgrace Lazlow by piercing multiple body parts, tattooing a naughty picture on him and then finishing him off by cutting off his ponytail. Take Jimmy and Tracey over to the therapist's office to start a cutscene where Michael and Amanda reconcile by shouting at each other. Once that is over, drive the family home to complete the mission.

You will lose $4,000 for the therapist. Now switch to Trevor and head over to the final stranger encounter in the game, the F?.

Exercising Demons - Trevor

Good Cyclist - Don't anger Mary-Ann by cycling into her

Quick Win - Win the race within 1 minute 42 seconds

Now it's Trevor's turn to encounter certified nutcase Mary-Ann, who is freaked out when Trevor knocks out the guy Mary-Ann is hitting on. Mary-Ann begins to cycle away, but Trevor hastily follows...

You now begin a simple checkpoint race on the bike. Simply follow the checkpoints and stay ahead of Mary-Ann to easily win the race and complete the encounter.

Now switch back to Michael, and you will get a phone call from Tracey about a stalker...

Doting Dad

N/A

Head over to Tracey's location and get in her car. Follow the markers and eventually you will locate the stalker. Shoot out his tires with the Micro-SMG, then confront him. Kill him or let him go, either way get back in Tracey's car and drive her home to complete the mission and earn an easy gold medal.

Now head over to the film studio...

Legal Trouble

Time - 5:30

Floor It - Reach top speed in any car

Clean Escape - Lose the Wanted Rating within 2 minutes

News Hound - View the Weazel News camera for 15 seconds

Michael will arrive to find Solomon being pestered by Devin, who reveals that he wants to shutdown the production of Meltdown, take a hefty insurance payout, and shut down the film studio. After Molly leaves with the film reel Michael decides to give chase...

Get in one of the fast cars and floor it to the airport. When you arrive you will chase Molly, who is freaking out about your pursuit. Follow her as she causes untold destruction on the airport tarmac. Eventually she will ditch the car behind Devin's hangar and head inside. Follow her in on foot to witness her untimely end. Pick up the film reel, then hop in the nearby jet and take off. Fly west until you lose the Wanted Rating, and this will complete the mission.

Michael calls Solomon to report his success, but Solomon says that they had multiple digital copies anyway. They are planning to premiere the film soon. Anyway, switch to Franklin and head back to his house...

Lamar Down

Headshots - 18

Accuracy - 70%

Time - 13:30

Three Way - Kill an enemy with all three characters

Franklin gets a visit from Tanisha, his ex-girlfriend, while at home. She explains that Stretch sold out Lamar to the Ballas, and now Franklin, although hesitant, heads to rescue him...

Drive up to the Paleto Bay Sawmill. On the way there, Franklin will call Lester to arrange backup in the form of Michael and Trevor. As you follow the GPS, it winds its way through the centre of the map, and eventually you will come to Stab City, the ex-Lost camp. Just before that are some train tracks. Turn left and head north up the tracks, and you will end up at the sawmill. Drop down from the tracks into the southeast corner of the complex, and this will begin the assault. You don't have to bother setting up Michael and Trevor. Gun down the Ballas in front of you from the cover of your car using the Micro-SMG, then switch to Michael and snipe the remaining Ballas, then switch back and head over to Lamar to rescue him. Get back in your car and drive all the way back to Franklin's aunt's house to wrap things up. Franklin will give Lamar $50 to get a bucket of chicken. Then Steve and Dave show up, and want Franklin to kill Trevor for them. The mission is now completed.

Jimmy will then text to say that the movie premiere is coming up, so switch to Michael and head over to the marker at Ponsonbys.

Meltdown

Time - 6:30

Pedal to the Metal - Reach top speed in any vehicle

Tier One Operator - Headshot 12 enemies

Headshot Rescue - Rescue Amanda and Tracey with a headshot

Starting in Ponsonbys, buy a tuxedo, then get in the limo outside to be transported to the movie theater. Once there, Michael will be enjoying the festivities until he is confronted by a smirking Devin, who remarks that Amanda is "stuck at home". Michael races to save her...

Hop in the nearby car and burn rubber over to Michael's house. Once you have arrived, park in the marker and head in the front door to find Amanda struggling with a Merryweather goon on the stairs. Headshot the goon, then head upstairs and headshot the goon holding Tracey hostage. More enemies will arrive out front, so head downstairs and wipe them out as they file through the front door. Once they have been wiped out, head to the back to find some more goons trying to sneak around the back. Take them down, then head back to the front as more goons arrive in jeeps. Blow them all to smithereens, then head upstairs to trigger a cutscene. Michael will get ambushed by a Merryweather goon, but before he can finish the job the lights suddenly go out, and the Merryweather goon is bonked on the head by someone wearing night-vision goggles, which turns out to be Jimmy. This completes the mission.

Michael will call Lester to advise him that they need to move forward with the Big Score before Michael's feud with Devin causes any problems. This puts a marker at the Vanilla Unicorn. Before heading there, however, wait a minute and Amanda and Tracey will call, followed by Jimmy, who is in a spot of bother...

Parenting 101

N/A

Jimmy is being taken up Banham Canyon Drive. Head up there to find the kidnapper's car, and shoot out the tires with your Micro-SMG before he can flee. Get in the car with Jimmy, then drive him home to complete the mission.

Now, before we get on with the Big Score and the endgame, let's wrap up some loose ends, starting with the assassination missions that we have put off for so long. You can get a lot more money if you wait until after the Finale, but we can still earn enough money to comfortably earn the final achievements. To begin, invest in the Debonaire stock on LCN with all three characters and head to Lester...

The Multi Target Assassination

Speedy Killer Bonus - Kill the targets as quickly as possible

Lester wants Franklin to take down some jurors who have had their heads turned by Redwood Cigarettes, who are facing a court case. Lester wants to take them out to tank the stock price and aid their closest competitors, Debonaire...

You have a nine-minute time limit to take down all four targets. Start by heading to Vespucci Beach and drive-by the bodybuilder with your Micro-SMG. Now head north to the Redwood Inn, stop in the parking lot and get out. Zoom in with your Sniper Rifle and snipe the target, who is on a nearby yacht. Now head to Vinewood Hills to find the next target up on a window washing platform. Take him out, then speed to the final target, who is on a bike. Knock him off and take him out to complete the mission.

Now head back to your safehouse and sleep until the Debonaire stock peaks at 80%, then sell. Wait for Redwood Cigarettes to bottom out at around $35, then buy and hold until you can sell for a 300% profit. Now invest in Fruit on BAWSAQ and head to the next mission...

The Vice Assassination

Clean Escape - Complete the mission without alerting the cops

Lester wants Franklin to take out Jackson Skinner, a product developer at Facade, rival of Fruit's, who is selling data to non-desirable individuals. He has a soft spot for prostitutes, however...

Head to the marker and pull up to see a prostitute on the sidewalk. You have to wait until the prostitute gets in the car with the client, then kill him. She will wave off a couple cars, then get in a convertible with Skinner. Headshot him from afar, then quickly leave the area to avoid a wanted rating and complete the mission.

Now wait until Fruit tops out at 50%, then sell. There's nothing to invest in for the next one, so head back to Lester...

The Bus Assassination

Hit and Run - Kill the target with the Bus

Lester wants Franklin to eliminate Isaac Penny, new CEO of Vapid Motors, who is looking to lay off a ton of employees. The man, however, is cheap, and takes a bus to and from work everyday, giving you a chance to deal with him.

Head to the marker and grab the bus. Drive to each of the bus stops, and eventually Penny will board, but get frustrated and flee, getting on a bike. Knock him off and run him over to complete the mission.

Now wait until Penny's death is announced on the web news, then buy Vapid stock as it crashes on BAWSAQ, then wait. If you played it right you should be able to sell for 100% profit. Now invest in Gold Coast on LCN, then go to the N.O.O.S.E Headquarters and grab a Buzzard, and take it with you to the next mission.

The Construction Assassination

No Fly Zone - Take out the target's helicopter

Lester wants Franklin to assassinate Enzo Bonelli, a mob capo turned real estate developer who is strong arming the real estate community.

Get back in the Buzzard and head over to the marker. Land, then fly up to the top of the construction site, switching to rockets, then blow up the target's helicopter, and fly away to complete the mission.

Head back to the safehouse and sleep until the Gold Coast stock peaks at around the 80% mark, then sell. That wraps up the assassination missions, and now you should have some spare cash burning a hole in all three characters' pockets. If you haven't already earned it from buying and selling the stocks, buy and sell stocks until you unlock:

Now there a couple of things to clean up before the Big Score. Firstly use Trevor's money to purchase the MacKenzie Field Hangar up in Grapeseed, and complete the arms race by doing five tasks each in the plane and the buggy. They are pretty self-explanatory, so complete all 10 and you will unlock:

Now switch to Franklin, and purchase the Downtown Cab Co. Head back to your safehouse and sleep for a while. Eventually you will be contacted by the taxi service, who will ask you to complete a private fare. Accept, and complete it to earn:

Now purchase any two other properties (you should already have the Sonar Collections Dock) to hit a requirement for 100% completion.

Now head to the Vanilla Unicorn to set up the Big Score. You have the choice between the Subtle and Obvious approaches. Go with the Obvious approach, then choose Packie and Chef as the gunmen, then Taliana and Eddie as the drivers. Now to setup the heist. Firstly, pick up a four door car, mod it at Los Santos Customs to improve speed and toughness, then call Lester and take the car to the location. Now head over to the nearest setup mission.

Driller

Time - 5:00

Sneak Thief - Steal the Driller without being detected (only using stealth takedowns)

You can approach the compound stealthily, but it is immensely difficult to pull off. You are better off crashing through the front gate and wasting all the guards. Drive away to shake off the wanted rating, then head back and pick up the Driller. Take it over to the bank car park to complete the setup.

Now head over to the second setup mission out in the desert.

Sidetracked

Time - 4:30

Undetected - Steal the train without being detected

Start by sneaking up on the guy down by the tracks from behind. Take him out with a stealth takedown, then sneak up to the control booth and take out the second guard. Operate the lever, and wait for the train to come along before causing it to stop. You will then auto-switch to Trevor, who is in a Skylift. Head over to the train, then hover near the engine to attach it to the electromagnet. Take it back to the airfield and carefully land it on the trailer. Then head back to the train and pick up one of the flatbed cars. Take it back to the airfield and land it on the trailer to complete the mission.

You are now ready for the Big Score. Head to the Vanilla Unicorn.

The Big Score

Headshots - 20

Time - 16:00

Accuracy - 60%

Cha-Ching - Drop the gold onto the train within 30 seconds

Starting as Michael, drive over to the bank to meet up with Packie. You will then auto-switch to Franklin. Drive the Driller through the bank wall to get at the gold. Reverse the Driller out and park it, then go and place Sticky Bombs on the cages. Blow them open, then Chef will begin to load the gold into crates. N.O.O.S.E forces will emerge from the tunnels to the south, so use your shiny new Advanced Rifle to gun them down as they approach. More N.O.O.S.E will come from the northern tunnel, so take them down too. Once the tunnel is cleared out, one of the helicopters will arrive to lift the gold. More N.O.O.S.E will pour in from the vault, so gun them down too. As you are doing that more N.O.O.S.E will rappel into the tunnel, so Trevor bugs out. Switch to him, then fly north towards the city limits. You will then be prompted to switch to Michael.

Now you have to shoot your way out of a 5-Star Wanted Rating. Start by proceeding forward alongside the building and take down everyone who approaches. Once you reach the next level, you will meet up with Franklin and you will need to cross the bridge, but more cops show up to block your way. Use cover to gun them down, then cross the bridge and continue forward, gunning down everybody who approaches. Eventually, a police chopper will appear, so take that down too. Lester will then contact you to tell you that Merryweather have heard about the heist and are on their way to stop you. You will move up a level and end up in a courtyard. Take down all of the incoming cops who come to swarm you, then continue forward to come face-to-face with a Merryweather helicopter. Shoot the pilot to bring it down, then proceed forward and take out the N.O.O.S.E lying in wait. Get down to street level and make your way to the getaway vehicle, where you will be met by more cops. Take them down, then get in the car and speed out to the north. Drop down onto the highway, then duck into the construction tunnel you used back in the Vangelico heist to lose the wanted rating. Now switch to Trevor.

Unfortunately, Merryweather are onto Trevor and the gold and have sent in multiple Buzzards to deal with you. Lester will be targeting them with RPGs, so hold the chopper steady for Lester to do so. Annoyingly, your driver decides to attempt to lose Merryweather in the wind farm, so take care to avoid the rotating fans. Take down the choppers, then fly the gold to the train to drop it off. Now fly over to MacKenzie Field and land to complete the mission, and the Big Score.

The Advanced Rifle will now be available at all Ammu-Nations.

You will also unlock:

Now switch to Franklin and head back to his house for the...

Finale

Shortly after Franklin arrives home, Devin appears at his door, and wants him to kill Michael for his activities at the film studio and the constant attacks on Merryweather. However, the F.I.B have told Franklin to kill Trevor, and Franklin feels that he cannot kill them both, so now he has to make a choice...

Option A: Kill Trevor

Option B: Kill Michael

Option C: Deathwish

FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PLAYTHROUGH, MAKE SURE TO PICK OPTION C TO AVOID MISSING ANY ACHIEVEMENTS!

Choose Option C, but firstly I will cover Options A and B, starting with A...

Something Sensible

Judas! - Kill Trevor

Franklin decides to deal with Trevor, whose unpredictable nature may put Franklin in peril in the future. After calling Trevor, Franklin calls Michael to tell him of what he intends to do. Michael agrees to help. Go to the south end of the oil fields to confront Trevor, who speeds off. Chase him, and follow him on a prolonged chase. Eventually you will circle around back to the oil fields, where Michael will head off Trevor, causing him to crash into a gas tanker, which spills oil all over Trevor. As Trevor rambles on, shoot him to put him out of his misery. Franklin and Michael walk away, heading their separate ways...

If you chose Option B...

The Time's Come

Surpassed the Mentor - Kill Michael

Although Franklin and Michael have now become friends, Franklin doesn't want to make any more of an enemy of Devin Weston, so he accepts the deed...

Franklin calls Trevor, who wants no part of the deed and hangs up. Head to the north end of the wind farm to confront Michael, who speeds off. Tail him to the power station, where he ditches the car and flees on foot. Follow him to a smokestack, where he ambushes Franklin, however you reverse it and send Michael over the edge. You can choose to save him or not, but either way he falls to his demise. Franklin then calls Lamar, ending the story...

And finally, the option you should have chosen, Option C...

The Third Way

Time - 21:30

Headshots - 20

Accuracy - 70%

Stick, Tick... Boom! - Kill Cheng with a Sticky Bomb

Lead Lobotomy - Kill Steve Haines with a headshot

Stretched Out - Kill Stretch with a melee weapon

Aftee choosing not to kill either Michael or Trevor, Franklin calls Lester for help. After the call, head to Lester's house. When you get there, Lester concocts a plan to use the gold from the Big Score to lure both the F.I.B and Merryweather to the foundry, with Steve and Devin in tow. Lester gets Michael and Trevor involved with the plan, and Franklin calls Lamar to get him involved...

Go to Lamar's house and pick him up, then head over to the foundry. When you arrive enter to find Michael and Trevor bickering about their weapon selections, then the F.I.B will arrive. Stay as Franklin and use your Assault Shotgun to pick off the agents as they enter. After taking down the F.I.B, Merryweather joins the party, so switch to Trevor and open up a hot lead shower on the incoming goons. As the battle continues, Lamar will radio for help, so switch to Franklin and head outside. Take out the F.I.B that are lurking nearby, then Michael will radio to say that he hasn't seen Trevor. Switch to Michael, and shoot your way over to Trevor's position to find him holed up in cover. Take cover yourself and take down the next wave, then head outside to help Franklin. Take out the goons, then head round the corner to the left and take out the Merryweather guys bothering Trevor. At this point a Merryweather chopper will show up, so take it down. Kill off the remaining Merryweather, then regroup.

The current plan to lure Steve and Devin isn't working so the trio decide to tie up some loose ends - Steve, Devin, Cheng and Stretch. Franklin calls Lester for help, who pinpoints the locations of the three of them. Trevor goes after Steve, Michael after Stretch and Franklin heads to Cheng. Even though you start as Franklin, switch to Michael because his target is nearest. Head to the rec center to find Stretch, and smoke him by whatever means, then switch to Trevor, who should be arriving at Del Perro Pier. Stop a fair distance away and exit the vehicle, then zoom in with a Sniper Rifle on the ferris wheel to spot Steve in one of the cabins. Shoot him, which will trigger a 2-Star Wanted Rating. Hop down onto the beach and head north to lose it, then switch to Franklin, who is approaching Cheng. Drive up and stick all three cars with Sticky Bombs, then drive away and detonate them to destroy Cheng. Now switch to Trevor who is heading over to Devin.

Drive to Devin's house to find it heavily guarded by Merryweather. Use your Advanced Rifle to pick off all of the guards. There are only a small number so it shouldn't pose a threat. Find Devin hiding in a basket at the back of the residence, and Trevor will put him in the boot of a car. Head over to the rendezvous point to meet up with the rest of the gang. There you will deal with Devin once and for all. This successfully completes the mission, and the main story.

Regardless of which option you chose, you will unlock:

And if you followed the guide to the letter to this point, you will unlock:

Congratulations! Now there are two more things to do before we wrap things up for good. You may have noticed a new stranger encounter over at Trevor's trailer, so head there to meet...

Mrs. Philips

Well, Trevor meets his mother, who wants him to get some drugs for her, then locks him out of his trailer. Head over to the Dollar Bills store just across from Franklin's aunt's house in Strawberry to find a van with 'Deludamol' plastered on the side. Grab it to start Damaged Goods, then drive the van back to the trailer to find that Trevor's mother has disappeared.

Now switch to Franklin, and sleep for a couple of days. One final encounter should pop up in the wilderness...

The Last One

Wounded - Shoot the Sasquatch three times during the chase

Hunter - Kill four animals during the chase

Mr. Green - Enter the scat site on foot

Out in Raton Canyon Franklin encounters a hunter, who tells him that he is on the hunt for the mythical Sasquatch, and that he may be lurking in the area...

As the mission begins, head down to the marked area on foot. Once there, look around to spot the Sasquatch, who runs away at a lightning quick pace. Follow him up the hill to ambush him... and well, things are not as they seem. This completes the encounter.

And that wraps things up. Congratulations for earning every achievement in the single player of Grand Theft Auto V.
