GTA 5 100% Completion Guide & Full Checklist (2024)

On this page, you find the ultimate guide and checklist to achieve 100% Completion in GTA 5, with all the required tasks. These include story missions, side missions, collectibles, and activities.

While GTA V is a huge game, Rockstar has been generous with their requirements, as several tasks only need to be partially completed to contribute toward 100%. Your progress towards GTA V 100% Completion can be tracked in the Pause Menu under "Stats > 100% Checklist", or in more detail via the complete checklist on the Rockstar Social Club.

There are five main categories of objectives in the GTA V 100% Checklist: to achieve 100% Completion in GTA 5, you must complete 69 Storyline Missions, 20 , 42 , 14 Random Events, and 16 miscellaneous activities.

To make the big feat of fully completing Grand Theft Auto V easier for you, we've comprised this full list of what you need to do to achieve 100% completion in GTA 5. For every task required, you can find more detailed information on our site by accessing its respective guide article.

NOTE: In GTA V, nothing prevents you from achieving 100%. You can complete these tasks at any time, in any order you want. You can even safely use cheat codes on your way to 100% completion, as the GTA 5 cheats only block achievements for the current game session, and have no permanent effect when you reload the game.

Complete all GTA V Story Missions (55%)

Finalize the events of the main storyline of GTA V by completing all the 69 main story missions, from Prologue to one of the three Endings (Something Sensible, The Time's Come, or The Third Way).

These also include the optional Lester's Assassination Missions, which should be played after the main storyline is completed, so that you can maximize profit.

Despite the in-game and Social Club checklist listing 69 missions, there are actually more missions available, depending on your choices during the story. However, any heist approach or path you choose is fine, as long as you get to one of the Endings.

In the final mission, choosing Ending C, "The Third Way", is recommended as it allows both Michael and Trevor to survive the end of the storyline.

Find the complete list and guide of all the missions in our GTA V Story Missions guide.

Complete all of Franklin's Strangers and Freaks (10%)

The side missions involve secondary characters that Michael, Franklin, or Trevor can encounter outside the main story.

As Franklin is the only character who is guaranteed to remain playable after the end of the storyline, his Strangers & Freaks missions are the only ones required for 100% completion. The Strangers & Freaks missions for Michael and Trevor are NOT required.

So, out of 66 total Strangers & Freaks missions available, only 24 are required for 100% completion:

• Barry: 4 missions (Franklin's only. Note: 2 of them are not listed on Social Club)
• Beverly: 6 missions (Note: 2 of them are not listed on Social Club)
• Dom: 4 missions (Requires completing all 13 Parachute Jumps)
• Hao: 1 mission
• Mary-Ann: 1 mission (Franklin's only)
• Omega: 2 missions (Requires collecting all 50 Spaceship Parts)
• Peter Dreyfuss: 1 mission (Requires collecting all 50 Letter Scraps)
• Tonya: 5 missions

Note: Despite the in-game checklist indicating 20 Strangers & Freaks missions for Franklin, there are actually 24 missions to complete. For some reason, 4 of his missions are not listed on the official checklists, but they're still required.

Complete 42 Hobbies and Pastimes (10%)

The Hobbies and Pastimes in GTA 5 include various Challenges, Races, Sports activities, and mini-games.

Out of 61 total Hobbies & Pastimes featured in GTA V, 42 of them are required for 100% completion of the game, while the others are optional.

The 42 Hobbies & Pastimes required for 100% completion of GTA V are:

• 12 Flight School Challenges: win a medal in each
• 6 Shooting Range Challenges: win three medals in each

• 4 Sea Races: win a medal in each

Find the complete list and guide to each of these side missions in our GTA V Hobbies and Pastimes guide.

Complete any 14 Random Events (5%)

There are many random encounters to be found around the map, a total of 60 random events to be exact, where you can decide to help or hinder various NPCs.

These are short free roam missions that appear randomly when traveling throughout San Andreas and can be triggered by any of the three protagonists. They are shown on the map by either a blue dot (for someone who needs help) or a red dot (for an enemy that needs to be stopped)

You only need to complete any of these 14 Random Events to progress your GTA V 100% completion percentage, the choice of which ones is yours.

The complete list of all these encounters and their locations can be found in our GTA V Random Events guide, as well as on the map below (click on the image to enlarge it at full size):

Complete 16 Miscellaneous Activities (20%)

The "Misc" category includes various extra activities and collectibles that can be found around the state of San Andreas.

The Rockstar Social Club checklist shows 30 miscellaneous activities that can be completed during the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto V.

However, only the following 16 tasks are required for 100% completion of the game, while the others are optional.

Purchase any 5 Properties

Buy any 5 Properties available for sale, by approaching the "Purchase" sign outside the property.

Note: The Vanilla Unicorn and vehicle storage properties (such as garages, heliports, and docks) do NOT count.

Find information on every property in our GTA V Properties Database.

Purchase a Vehicle from a website

Enter any vehicle sales website from the in-game internet, such as Southern San Andreas Super Autos, Legendary Motorsport, Warstock Cache & Carry, or Elitas Travel.

Once there, buy any of the vehicles and the requirement is fulfilled.

Walk and play fetch with Chop

When at Franklin's house, go near Chop and take him out for a walk.

While on a walk, you can throw Chop his ball to play fetch with him.

Complete a Booty Call

Most of the available Booty Calls in Grand Theft Auto V are from strippers. When a stripper's "like" meter is full, you have the option to ask the stripper home, unlocking their respective Booty Call.

Booty calls can also be obtained from other game activities, such as random encounters (unlocking Ursula), or private taxi fares (which can unlock Liz Macallen).

Receive a Prostitute Service

Prostitutes appear on sidewalks, usually during nighttime. Picking one up and accepting her services will cost you some amount of money, depending on the service chosen.

Hold Up a Store

Go to any convenience store in Los Santos and aim a gun at the clerk. Usually, they will begin placing money in a bag.

After taking the cash, a wanted level will be issued, so prepare to flee from the police.

Visit the Cinema

Go to one of the three available cinemas (Tivoli Cinema, Ten Cent Theater, or Oriental Theater) by yourself and watch a movie.

You don't have to watch the whole movie, you can quit at any time and the requirement will still count.

Friend Activity: Visit the Cinema

Phone a friend and initiate a friend activity with them, then visit a cinema.

Friend Activity: Visit a Bar

Phone a friend and initiate a friend activity with them, then visit a bar.

Friend Activity: Visit the Strip Club

Phone a friend and initiate a friend activity with them, then visit the Vanilla Unicorn strip club together.

Friend Activity: Play Darts

Phone a friend and initiate a friend activity with them, then go and play a round of Darts together.

Collect all 50 Spaceship Parts

Complete the "Far Out" Strangers & Freaks mission by collecting all the 50 Spaceship Parts scattered throughout San Andreas. These are small, glowing objects that emit a resonating vibration sound when you get close.

Finding all of them is required for 100% completion of GTA V, and will also earn you the "From Beyond The Stars" achievement / trophy.

Note: the Parts can be found by any of the three characters, but only Franklin can begin and finish the mission.

Complete 25 of 50 Stunt Jumps

A staple of Grand Theft Auto games, stunt jumps require you to find and take certain ramps at high speed, and land safely on the other side.

While there are 50 Stunt Jump locations in Grand Theft Auto V, you only need to complete 25 of these stunts for 100% completion of the game. However, all 50 Stunt Jumps are still required to obtain the dedicated "Show Off" achievement / trophy.

It's recommended to do the stunt jumps while playing as Franklin, and to use of the quick save feature before attempting every jump.

You can find the locations of all these stunts in our GTA V Stunt Jump guide, as well as on the map below (click on the image to enlarge it at full size):

Complete 25 of 50 Under The Bridge

While there are a total of 50 bridges around San Andreas that can be flown under, you only need to fly under 25 of these bridges for 100% completion of the game.

However, all 50 bridges are still required to obtain the dedicated "Close Shave" achievement / trophy.

You can use any Helicopter to complete this challenge, and make sure to perform a quick save before attempting to fly under the harder bridges.

Here is the full map of all the GTA 5 Under The Bridge locations, you can click on the image to enlarge it at full size:

Complete 8 of 15 Knife Flights

Completing a Knife Flight in GTA V requires you to fly a fixed-wing aircraft through a tight area, with the aircraft's wings aligned vertically.

While there are a total of 15 knife flights to perform around Los Santos, you only need to execute 8 of these stunts for 100% completion of the game.

However, all 15 knife flights are still required to obtain the dedicated "Close Shave" achievement / trophy.

You can use a fighter jet from Fort Zancudo to complete all stunts, and make sure to perform a quick save right before attempting each knife flight - as they will probably take a few tries.

GTA V 100% Completion Rewards

Congratulations! You've fully completed Grand Theft Auto V, and you can now show off your GTA 5 100% completion on your Statistics page. But what exactly do you receive for doing this?

Achieving 100% completion in Grand Theft Auto V will present you with several rewards:

• In the Enhanced Edition, after completing "The Last One", a Golden Peyote Plant begins to spawn in the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness area. Eating it will transform the character into the Sasquatch and unlock the challenge related to The Beast.

Grand Theft Auto V is one of the few GTA games in which no weapon or vehicle-related award is given for 100% completion.

Tasks NOT Required for 100% Completion

Alright, you've completed Grand Theft Auto V in its entirety, but you don't want to stop playing the game. What do you do?

There are a lot of things to do in Grand Theft Auto V, and not all of them are necessary for 100% completion. Despite this, some might still contribute to other Achievements/Trophies, or can be done just for fun!

Tasks listed on Rockstar Social Club

The Rockstar Social Club features a 100% Checklist Progress page that shows exactly which missions and activities you completed, and which are still left to do.

Each category in the Rockstar Social Club also lists additional objectives that are not required for 100% of the game (only the items with a colored border are those that contribute to the GTA 5 100% completion), but that are still available to play and experience.

Complete Michael's and Trevor's Strangers and Freaks

While only Franklin's missions are required for 100%, Michael and Trevor also have their unique characters they can encounter outside the main story.

Find the full list and guide to these side missions in our .

Note: If you choose Ending A or Ending B, either Trevor's or Michael's Strangers & Freaks missions will become unavailable after the end of the storyline. That's why Rockstar decided to not make them required for the GTA 5 100% completion.

Complete the remaining Hobbies and Pastimes

As mentioned earlier, only 42 out of the 61 Hobbies and Pastimes are required for 100% of the game.

Buying the docks will give you a new app called "Trackify", which starts automatically when entering the submarine and provides a radar that points to the next collectible.
