Los Santos Legend

Congratulations! You're Vinewood's biggest star!

(97)

You successfully pulled off the ultimate heist and earned every available trophy. Congratulations!
Solid Gold, Baby!

Earn any 70 Gold Medals on Missions, Strangers and Freaks.

(74)

There are a total of 116 missions in the game which you can earn a Gold Medal in and work
towards this trophy. These comprise the 71 main story missions and the 45 (out of 58) Strangers &
Freaks missions which offer a Gold Medal. Medals earned in Hobbies & Pastimes such as races and
weapon
challenges
do not count
for
this
trophy.
A Gold Medal is earned when all objectives in a mission are achieved. Luckily you do not have to
earn them all in one run; you can replay a mission at your leisure and the objectives will stack with
each repeat play of that mission (the 5 Rampages are the only exception to this, as all requirements
must be achieved in one run). Individual requirements, however, are not stackable so if you get
8/10 headshots in your first playthrough you will still need to get 10 in your second. To replay a
mission or check your current medal progress, pause the game by pressing
and go to the "Game"
tab with
and select "Replay Story Mission" or "Replay Strangers & Freaks". Unfortunately you
have to manually count how many Gold Medals you have earned by scrolling down the mission
lists.
Certain missions have requirements such as "Time Completed", "Accuracy" and "Minimal Damage
to Health & Armour". These challenges will automatically be void if you die and instead the
checklist will say "Checkpoint", if this happens you must restart the entire mission again. Cutscenes
also add to the timer on missions so be sure to skip them with .

few

tips

to

bear

in

mind:

Your character's current skill levels when choosing "Replay Mission" will be available in that
mission, therefore it is highly recommended to do this trophy post-game when you have maxed out
at least "Driving", "Stamina", "Strength" and "Special". Furthermore, all weapons and upgrades
you have bought will be available, as will body armour if you purchase it before replaying a
mission.
The Strangers & Freaks missions are by far the easiest missions to get a Gold Medal in as they are
often very short and have only a few requirements to meet. Similarly the "heist preparation"
missions are short and easy as are Lester's Assassinations. Unfortunately you can only replay the
"heist preparation" missions that you chose to do during your playthrough i.e. "loud and dumb" or
"smart", you can't do the other side's easy missions as well. You can, however, replay the final
mission twice and choose both "Option A" and "Option B" for their very easy Gold Medals,
bringing the total available for main story missions up to 71. For story missions in general you
should replay those which have the fewest requirements, plus try and avoid those with criteria such
as "Accuracy" and "Time Completed" because if you die you'll have to restart the whole mission
again. With miscellaneous objectives if you fail you can often just kill yourself or fail the mission
on
purpose
to
try
again.
If you wish to view all missions which are eligible for a Gold Medal, along with requirement
checklists and tips for various missions, please see this guide by dcollins22: Gold Medal Requirements
Guide.

missions, see this video playlist created by GTA Series Videos: GTA V Missions 100% Gold Medal

selecting "100% Checklist". However, this in-game stats page has very limited information so we
highly recommended creating an account with the Rockstar Games Social Club if you haven't done so
already. Once on this site, select "GTA V" from the list of games and then click the "Checklist" tab.
This will provide far more detailed stats and will show you everything that is needed for 100% and,

more importantly, what you've already specifically accomplished (which the in-game page does not
tell
you).
The game will autosave after you complete every mission or activity which contributes towards
100%, this is helpful indication that something has been completed appropriately. There are also
on-screen notifications once you pick up a collectible or perform a Stunt Jump which tells you how

San Andreas Sightseer

Explore all of Los Santos and Blaine County

(17)

The description for this trophy is slightly misleading as revealing the ocean is also required,
however, focus first on revealing all of the land area. You will notice that at the start of the game,
despite the whole map being available to explore, the vast majority of it is clouded over with its
features indistinguishable. The best way to reveal the map this is to get a helicopter or a plane (the
fighter jet which you can steal from Fort Zancudo is preferable since it's the fastest) and fly along
the coast to define the land boundaries, then start in one corner and work your way north (or south,
depending on your starting point) before turning round and going back the other way in a parallel
line. Do not worry as much about the ocean as you will reveal the majority of it whilst searching for
Nuclear
Waste
for Waste
Management .
If after all this you are still without the trophy, set your waypoint on areas of the ocean still
undefined and either fly or use a boat to uncover these areas. Note: The map "ends" where the
water turns deep blue so if you carry on past this point, you are not uncovering any more of the
map.
Luckily you do not have to reveal every last pixel as the trophy unlocks once around 95% of the
map is revealed.
All's Fare in Love and War

Purchase Downtown Cab Co. and complete a private fare.

(41)

This property can only be bought with Franklin and it costs $200,000. You have to beat the story
mission "Nervous Ron" to unlock properties for purchase. After this mission the Downtown Cab
Co. can be found in East Vinewood in the North-East of Los Santos. It will be marked on your map

with

symbol.

Once the company is purchased wait until the manager, Raul, gives you a call about a private fare.
Completing a normal fare in a company taxi won't count. Accept the task and go to the green "P" on
your map. Wait until the VIP gets into the cab then drive him to the target destination. The trophy
will unlock after the person leaves the cab and the "Private Fare Complete" notification appears on
your
screen.
You don't actually have to be in a Downtown Cab Co. taxi for this trophy, as Raul can call you at
any point as long as you're playing as Franklin. Picking the VIP up in any car will suffice.
TP Industries Arms Race

Purchase McKenzie Field Hangar and win the arms race.

(25)

[MISSABLE] This trophy can be missed if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the
final mission. Make sure you choose "Option C" when offered the choice, after which this trophy is
no
longer
missable.
These missions can only be done as Trevor. You have to beat the story mission "Nervous Ron" to
unlock properties for purchase. The McKenzie Field Hangar costs $150,000 and can be found in the
Grapeseed area, north of the Grand Senora Desert. It will be marked on your map by the
symbol.
After purchasing it you need to complete 10 weapons-trafficking missions for Oscar. Five of the
missions are done with the Cuban 800 plane located in the hangar and the other five are done with
the BF Dune Buggy parked just outside it. Simply press
to get in either vehicle and the mission
will start. Once you complete a mission for one vehicle, do the other one then quick save and reload
your game to respawn at the hangar with the next two missions immediately available. This is a
much quicker way to respawn them, rather than having to travel a fair distance away and come
back.
Plane missions involve either airdropping crates on a fixed location or bombing certain areas, both
of which are done by flying over them and pressing
to release. For both types of missions you
will have to land your plane back at the hangar, therefore it is advisable to have Trevor's "Flying"
skill maxed and have completed the basic tutorials at the Flight School to get to grips with handling
planes.
The Dune Buggy missions are simple and just involve you driving to a nearby location to pick up a
package (which you can do just by driving over it) and driving back to the airfield, occasionally
having to either kill or escape from some chasing vehicles along the way.
Multi-Disciplined

Attain a gold medal in all applicable hobbies and pastimes.

(24)

There are 6 applicable hobbies and pastimes in which you must earn a gold medal. Luckily you
only need one gold medal per type of activity, which are as follows:

Flight School (any of the 12 lessons).

Off-Road Race (win any of the 6 races).

Sea Race (win any of the 4 races).

Shooting Range (1 gold medal out of all 18 challenges).

Street Race (Complete the "Shift Work" Strangers & Freaks mission for Hao).

Triathlon (win any of the 3 events).

The shooting range is probably the hardest as you will have to get a certain amount of points within
a time limit. Shoot quickly and always try and hit the yellow bullseye area of the targets to get the
most
points,
try
not
to
miss
as
that
will
reset
your
multiplier.
In the flight school you just need to beat a very simple time limit in the first tutorial. In the various
race types and triathlon you need to finish first to get a gold medal. Street races become available
by beating Hao's mission but completing that mission itself requires you to get a gold medal in the
street race so you won't need to complete any further races. Keep in mind that Hao's mission only
becomes available from 8pm-5am while playing as Franklin and is shown as a on the map. For
the
other
hobbies
you
can
choose
whichever
character
you
like.
Here is a video walkthrough for this trophy:
From Beyond the Stars

Collect and return all spaceship parts.

(19)

There are 50 Spaceship Parts in GTA V. In order for the Spaceship Parts to spawn on the map, you
must first complete the main story mission "Fame or Shame" (Mission 19 of 69) and then start the
Freaks & Strangers side-mission "Far Out" by talking to Omega. He can only be found by Franklin
and is located at the in Sandy Shores as shown below:

Once you have found all 50 Parts, return to Omega as Franklin for a cutscene, after which the
trophy will unlock. Note:The Parts can be found by any of the three characters, but only Franklin
can
begin
and
finish
the
mission.
The Spaceship Parts are small rectangular glowing objects that emit a resonating vibration sound
when you get close to them. As with all collectibles in the game, you need only walk over them to
pick them up. Beware that 6 of them can only be reached with a helicopter. If you are having
trouble locating some of the Parts, you can use Chop (as Franklin) to locate them for you. Stand
next to him and press , from the list of options choose to take him for a walk with . When you
are walking, press
to send him out to find "pick ups" and if there is a collectible nearby he will
run off and stand next to it. Follow the bone icon on the mini-map and the collectible will be there.
On extremely rare occasions a Spaceship Part may not be where it should be. If this occurs, switch
characters
then
back
again
and
it
should
be
there.
Please see the video below for the locations of all Spaceship Parts or check the 100% Completion Guide
& Checklistfor a map showing the locations of all Parts, plus text descriptions with accompanying
screenshots.
A Mystery, Solved

Solve the mystery of Leonora Johnson.

(14)

There are 50 Letter Scraps to collect in GTA V and they appear as soon as the game starts and can
be picked up by all the three characters. Once you find all 50 you must go (as Franklin) to the
labelled "Killer" located here:

There you will meet a character and the Strangers & Freaks mission "A Starlet In Vinewood" will
begin. Simply chase and kill him in order to complete the Strangers mission, after which this trophy
will
pop.
The Letter Scraps are small, glowing pieces of paper. Just like with the Spaceship Parts some of
them can only be reached with a helicopter. If you are having trouble locating some of the Scraps,
you can use Chop (as Franklin) to locate them for you. Stand next to him and press , from the list
of options choose to take him for a walk with . When you are walking, press
to send him out
to find "pick ups" and if there is a collectible nearby he will run off and stand next to it. Follow the
bone
icon
on
the
mini-map
and
the
collectible
will
be
there.
On extremely rare occasions a Letter Scrap may not be where it should be. If this occurs, switch
characters
then
back
again
and
it
should
be
there.
For the location of all the Letter Scraps please see the video below or the 100% Completion Guide &
Checklist for a map showing the locations of all Letter Scraps, plus text descriptions with
accompanying screenshots.
Waste Management

Purchase the old dock and collect all nuclear waste.

(17)

There are 30 Nuclear Waste collectibles in GTA V. To collect them you need to buy the Sonar
Collections Dock, which is available for $250,000 after completing the main story mission "The
Merryweather Heist". The dock can be bought with any character and is found here:

The Nuclear Waste collectibles are bright yellow and glow brightly underwater. They are all found
at the bottom of the ocean and they can only be picked up by driving into them in a submarine,
which will always spawn at the dock once the property has been bought. To control the sub
press
to accelerate,
to brake and reverse, then
and
to ascend and descend respectively.
Buying the property will also give you a new app called "Trackify" which starts automatically
when entering the submarine. The app works like sonar, showing a red blip on your mini-map that
you must follow until you reach the Waste. On extremely rare occasions one of the Nuclear Waste
items may not be where it should be. If this occurs, switch characters then back again and it should
be
there.
See the following video for the locations of all the Nuclear Waste (the order in the video matches
the order on the Trackify app) or use the collectible map provided in the 100% Completion Guide &
Checklist.
Each piece of Nuclear Waste you pick up will net you $23,000 per barrel and a lump sum of
$250,000 once all 30 are collected. The funds will be added to your weekly income from the
property.
Red Mist

Complete all Rampages.

(11)

[MISSABLE] This trophy can be missed if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the
final mission. Make sure you choose "Option C" when offered the choice, after which this trophy is
no
longer
missable.

Rampages are Strangers & Freaks missions that can only be done as Trevor and will become
available after beating the story mission "Trevor Philips Industries". There are 5 Rampages and in
them you need to kill a certain amount of enemies within a time limit. The first Rampage will be
shown by the icon in the Grand Senora Desert. Here is a screenshot of its location:

After finishing the first Rampage, the next one will show up as a skull symbol on your world map.
Rampages that you have already completed will have a green tick next to the skull, which looks
like this icon:
. You always need to complete a new Rampage in order to unlock the next one.
The
trophy
will
unlock
after
beating
all
5
Rampage
events.
You have infinite ammo for the given weapons along with 25 grenades. It'll greatly help you to
have the "Traditional GTA" aiming mode on to as with the large groups of enemies, the auto-aim
and ability to snap to different targets with
will prove invaluable. You should also make liberal
use of Trevor's special "berserk" ability by pressing
and simultaneously as it fills up very
quickly during Rampages. The game is confusing as the orange blur effect on the screen makes it
seem like the ability is permanently activated, but this is not the case as you must activate it
yourself.

Show Off

Complete all Stunt Jumps.

(27)

There are 50 Stunt Jumps in GTA V and they are easily the trickiest "collectibles" in the game. You
must always land in a specific spot and on all four wheels at the same time (both wheels on a
motorbike), without touching anything mid-air. If you drive too fast and overshoot or drive too
slowly and fail to reach the target landing area, the jump will not be registered. The game
inconveniently does not tell you where the specific landing area is so many jumps will require
numerous
retries.
Make sure that you get the notification on your screen saying "Stunt Jump completed!" before you
move on to the next one. This flashes up for a short period of time and if you miss it, there is no
way to check which ones you have missed (either in-game or via the Rockstar Social Club). This
will prevent endless frustration having to retry every jump to find the one you're missing.
With this temperamental system in mind, it is highly recommended that you make use of the quick
save feature (accessed from the main menu of your mobile phone by pressing ) before you
attempt every jump. After loading the quick save (by pausing, selecting the "Game" tab then "Load
Game") you will be with your vehicle again and will be at the exact same spot where you saved the
game. This way you will save lots of time otherwise spent finding a new vehicle or lining up the

jump again. Try to quick save whilst you are actually driving as the game, more often than not,
respawns you without your vehicle if you saved whilst parked up before the jump. However, if you
quick save when driving you will always be in or on your vehicle when reloading.
It is best to do the Stunt Jumps whilst playing as Franklin. You can trigger his special ability by
pressing
and simultaneously to slow down time while driving, which will come in very
handy for precise manoeuvring during these stunts. Furthermore, you can make adjustments to the
vehicle's direction in mid-air by moving the . Use this to land on all four (or two) wheels and to
avoid
any
obstacles
in
the
jump.
The best vehicle for the majority of the Stunt Jumps is the Pegassi Bati 801 motorbike which can be
bought from the vehicle dealership on your mobile phone (go to "Internet" => "Travel &
Transport") for $10,000 whilst any of the fast sports cars found in the Vinewood area will usually
suffice. For some of the more precise jumps, a car that handles exceptionally well (such as the Taxi)
is more preferable than speed. If you find yourself stuck at a jump use the same type of vehicle that
is shown in the video, which can be seen below:
Please check the 100% Completion Guide & Checklist for a map showing the locations of all Stunt Jumps
and timelinks for each specific jump.
Kifflom!

Complete your path to enlightenment... or not.

(72)

[MISSABLE] This trophy is missable if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the final
mission. You must choose "Option C" when offered the choice, after which this trophy is no longer
missable. An even more serious problem is that this trophy is [GLITCHED]. Many people are
reporting an issue with Step 7 not progressing like it should as after stealing all the cars they never
get the email to proceed to Step 8. For more detailed information seeStep 7.5 below. Note: This
issue
was
fixed
with
Patch
1.01.
This is a relatively complex trophy, you are required to complete numerous side-quests for the
Epsilon Program. To begin with you need to be playing as Michael and have a total of $90,500 to
earn this trophy, however, completing the final mission can net you as much as $2,100,000 so it is
well
worth
the
investment.
This mission will be detailed in small steps, if you wish to make use of the video then clicking the
timestamp next to each step will take you to that specific step in the video.

(8:23)

After the robes have been delivered to Michael's house in Vinewood (this takes 24 hours), get them
from Michael's wardrobe under the "Outfits" tab. You need to wear them for 10 cumulative days,
the easiest way to do this is to keep going to sleep until 10 days have passed at which point you will
get
an
email
leading
to
the
next

Do not switch characters during the 10 day period as it is highly likely that Michael will have

You will have to walk (or run) 5 miles in the desert wearing Epsilon robes. You know you are in the
right place when you get a notification saying "Now inside the Epsilonism pilgrimage zone". To
rack up 5 miles you can either: Stand at one end of the desert and set your waypoint at the other
then run back and forth or you can rubber-band your controller so that you don't have to do it
yourself. After you have travelled 5 miles, a notification saying "5 miles walked in the desert pilgrimage complete" will pop up in the bottom left corner and you will get a phone call.

Finish the mission, there are three ways of going about this and completing any of the three will
give
you
the
trophy:
A) Deliver the vehicle to the target destination - The reward is an old rusty tractor.
B) Escape with the blue Epsilon car before going to the target destination - You receive
$1,000,000.
C) Kill everyone at the target destination and escape the cops - You get all of the money
($2,100,000) and fulfil the Gold Medal criteria. You have to initiate the shoot-out with the Epsilon
guards
yourself.
It is recommended to go for "C" to get a good return on both your time and monetary investment in
this long side-quest. Bear in mind that you cannot replay this mission and choose another option for
the money so make sure you kill everyone the first time if you want to go down that route.

Survive 3 minutes on at least a 3 star Wanted Level with all three characters
together off mission.

(24)

[MISSABLE] This trophy can be missed if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the
final mission. Make sure you choose "Option C" when offered the choice, after which this trophy is
no
longer
missable.

Before you can do this you must complete the story mission "Friends Reunited" to be able to have
all 3 characters hang out together. After that you can call the other two characters via the "Contacts"
icon in the in-game mobile phone. Make sure you call both other characters immediately before
picking them up, because if you pick one up first before you call the other then you will get a
"busy"
tone
on
your
phone.
Pick your friends up with any four door car by going to their location on the map (shown by the
icon) and beeping the horn with , then head to the Los Santos International Airport at the
southern end of the map. Once you enter the airfield you will immediately get a 3-star wanted level.
Keep driving from one end of the airport to the other and make sure that you don't lose the cops. It
would also be highly advantageous to upgrade your car with the bulletproof tires and armour from
any Los Santos Customs shop to make this a little easier. After 3 minutes of driving round the
airport
this
trophy
will
unlock.
Here is a video showing this method:
Out of Your Depth

You're gonna need a bigger boat...

(20)

For this trophy you will need to be eaten by a shark. Sharks spawn randomly in deep water, go out
into the ocean with a boat or jet-ski and watch your mini-map until the area around you turns
completely dark blue. Keep navigating the boat or swim around. After a while you should see a red
dot on your radar representing a shark, jump into the water and wait until it kills you. This may take
some time as the shark doesn't spot you right away so keep swimming around until it eventually
kills you and you earn the trophy. On rare occasions the shark will actually attack the boat/jet-ski
you
are
on
and
kill
you
that
way.
Being killed will set you back 5% of your total income up to a maximum fee of $5,000 so if you
want to save your money, you should make a new save and reload after you have the trophy.
Please see the video below for a video walkthrough of this trophy:
Altruist Acolyte

Deliver an unsuspecting victim to the Altruist Cult.

(17)

[MISSABLE] This trophy can be missed if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the
final mission. Make sure you choose "Option C" when offered the choice. Furthermore there are
only a select few Random Events which provide you with an opportunity to deliver a victim so
even
if
"Option
C"
is
selected,
this
can
still
be
easily
missed.

Only Trevor can deliver people to the Altruist Cult as the Cult's location won't trigger with another
character. A Random Event occurs when you are driving or walking around and your mini-map
flashes white and a blue (representing an ally) or red (representing an enemy) blip appears on your
map. For this trophy you are looking for any of the following, these are confirmed to work for this
trophy as long as you are playing as Trevor:

Domestic

Hitch Lift (x4)

Drunk Driver (x2)

The Random Events have fixed locations, the easiest one to attempt this trophy is the "Hitch Lift"
mission found at this location on the southern foot of Mount Chiliad:

If you cannot find the hitchhiker, simply drive in another direction for a short while and return. The
event
will
spawn
sooner
or
later
if
you
keep
doing
this.
Once you pick up the hitchhiker he will ask you to drop him off somewhere. Instead of going to the
target destination you must drive to the Altruist Cult marked by the
icon on your map, this will
be on the West side of Mount Chiliad and will only show up once the hitchhiker is in the car. Set
your waypoint on this location and follow the purple route up to the camp. Wait for the gates to
open and a scene will play, after which you will earn some money and this trophy.
Here is a video showing how to earn this trophy:

A Lot of Cheddar

Spend a total of $200 million across all three characters.

(19)

This trophy requires you to spend a grand total of $200 million whether it be on weapons, cars,
vehicle mods, property, shares etc. You must also buy at least one thing with each character for it to
unlock. It is best to do this trophy after you complete the heist near the end of the game called "Big
Score" as each character will have a large chunk of money in excess of $25 million. To look up
how much cash you have spent in total go to the "Cash" tab in the "Stats" section of the pause
menu.
Luckily there is an extremely easy way of spending $200 million. Open your mobile phone with
, then choose "Internet" and select the "Money and Services" tab. Open the LCN stock exchange
website and invest all of your money in the stocks of any company in the list (the more expensive
the stock, the quicker it will be to buy them all) under the "Markets" tab. You can do this by
selecting "Buy" then hovering your cursor over the green "+" symbol and holding down
until
you have spent all your money. Press "Buy" again then "Confirm" and finally "Continue" to
complete the transaction. As soon as you have done so, choose "Sell All" and "Confirm" to sell all
the stocks back again and get your money back. Repeat the process as many times as necessary
until you have "spent" $200 million. You won't lose any money if you sell the stocks quick enough,
but
it
still
counts
towards
the
spending
for
the
trophy.
Here is a video showing this method:
By far the best way of making money in the game is to take advantage of company stocks with
Lester's assassination missions. Before you undertake each assassination mission, swap between all
three characters and purchase as many stocks as you can from the following companies:
Hotel
Assassination Betta
Multi-Target
Assassination Vice
Assassination Bus
Assassination Construction
Assassination -

Pharmaceuticals
(BAWSAQ
Debonaire
(LCN
Fruit
(BAWSAQ
Vapid
(BAWSAQ
GoldCoast
(LCN

stocks)
stocks)
stocks)
stocks)*
stocks)

*This mission is slightly different as you should buy the stocks just after the mission when prices
plummet,
they
will
rise
again
soon
after.
After waiting a few in-game days, sell all of the stocks of these companies which each character
and you will make a huge profit. This is because the assassination missions have you take out
certain competitors of the above-mentioned companies, which will greatly boost up their market
value. For a more detailed description of this method, see the following thread: How To Make Up To 1.5
Billion With Lester's Assassination Missions

Trading Pure Alpha

Make a profit over your total investments in the stock market.

(9)

For this trophy you will need to turn a profit in the stock market, just one stock is sufficient. For
information on how to purchase stocks, please see the A Lot Of Cheddar trophy. After a couple of
in-game hours, the price of your purchased stocks will have changed. A profit is indicated by a
green "up" arrow in your portfolio, whilst a decrease in value will be represented by a red "down"
arrow. Sell any of your stocks that are making a profit and the trophy will unlock.
A guaranteed method to earn this trophy is by exploiting Lester's assassination missions with the
method listed underA Lot of Cheddar. Another easy way is to complete the Random Events that
flash up on your mini-map as you drive around. If you help people out, you will occasionally get
lucky and one will email you revealing that they are actually rich and as way of thanks will give
you stocks in their company. Go to your stock portfolio and immediately sell the stocks you were
given and the trophy will unlock, despite the fact you didn't buy any of them.
Pimp My Sidearm

Fully mod a weapon.

(7)

This is a very simple trophy and can be earned either online, or in single-player as soon as you
complete the "Complications" story mission as Michael. You will only need $3,381 which you
should have by this point. Simply go to any Ammu-Nation store, select "Pistol" and buy the
following to unlock this trophy:

Extended Clip - $387

Flashlight - $472

Suppressor - $1822

Army Tint - $100

LSPD Tint - $600

Furthermore you can even earn this trophy for free. If you have the Special/Collector's Edition of
the game, you will receive the Pistol .50 and the Bullpup Shotgun for free as soon as you enter an
Ammu-Nation store. Simply "buy" all available attachments (they're all free) for either of these to
unlock this trophy. Similarly, linking your PSN ID to the Rockstar Social Club will unlock the
Assault SMG and all attachments for that will be free to.
Wanted: Alive or Alive

Deliver a bail bond target alive.

(12)

[MISSABLE] This trophy can be missed if you have not unlocked it by the time you get to the
final mission and choose an option other than "Option C". Furthermore there are only four bail
bond targets which provide you with an opportunity to earn this trophy so even if "Option C" is
selected,
this
can
still
be
easily
missed.
Bail bond missions are only available to Trevor. After doing the story mission "Mr. Philips", travel
to the icon North-East of Sandy Shores:

Once there, you will meet Maude and unlock the bail bond side missions. Go back to your
safehouse and sleep. When you wake up you should receive an email with details about your first
target named Ralph Ostrowsk. To find him you need to head east to the "Davis Quartz" quarry area
as shown here:

After you locate the target use the quick save feature as insurance against accidentally killing him.
Now quickly shoot the tires of his car and when he tries to run away just chase and shoot him with
the stun gun (which can be purchased from any Ammu-Nation store for $90 or received
automatically during the first "Civil Border Patrol Strangers & Freaks mission) or if you don't have
one, punch him by holding
and pressing . You can even try running him over with your car
but only touch him lightly otherwise he will die. He should surrender after this, he will then enter
your car automatically and you need to drive back to Maude. After you hand the bail bond target
over
to
Maude
the
trophy
will
unlock.
There are a total of four bail bond missions and they aren't replayable so you only have a few more
chances if you fail at this first attempt. They are:

Bail Bond Target #2: Larry Tupper - In front of the giant barn in the Grand Senora Desert.

Bail Bond Target #3: Glenn Scoville - Parachuting off the summit of Mount Chiliad.

Bail Bond Target #4: Curtis Weaver - In the homeless camp by the foot of Mount Chiliad.

Here is a video walkthrough:


Los Santos Customs

Fully mod a vehicle.

(16)

This trophy can be done either Online or in single-player. If done offline, in order to mod a vehicle
you must first beat the story mission "Father/Son" to unlock the "Los Santos Customs" shops,

located at the
icon on the map. You will then need quite a bit of money ($60,000 to be safe) to
fully upgrade a vehicle. Not all vehicles can be modified for this trophy, only those which have
every type of upgrade available to purchase. Some cars that are eligible will have different upgrade
categories to others so you will still need to buy something from every category that's unique to that
car.
If you have bought the "Los Santos Customs" property with Franklin for $349,000 then all mods
and upgrades are free, however, this total is substantially more than the maximum you should have
to pay so we have decided to list the absolute cheapest way to earn this trophy (assuming you have
not bought the property). Also bear in mind that you can save your game before buying the car and
upgrades, then simply reload after the trophy has popped to avoid any monetary loss.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding using the three main characters' default cars. Some
people have said that they got this trophy by modding them but many more have said that this never
worked, therefore we have chosen to list a different car that is guaranteed to unlock this trophy.
To begin press
to bring up your mobile phone, select "Internet" => "Travel & Transport" =>
"Southern San Andreas Super Autos" and buy the Weeny Issi (any colour will do) for $18,000 and
retrieve it from your garage. This is also the same car that Michael's daughter Tracey drives, so you
can get one for free from the driveway at his house in Vinewood as it spawns fairly frequently.

Close Shave

Complete all Under the Bridge and Knife Flight challenges.


Under

The

(42)

Bridges

There are 50 bridges that you must fly under across the map. First off, get a Maverick helicopter
from the roof of the South Los Santos Hospital. If the Maverick doesn't spawn, go down the ladder
to the street and up to the helipad again until it does. All 50 Under the Bridges can be finished with
this helicopter and most are very easy, but there are a few tricky ones with very little room to
manoeuvre. If you can't do these with the Maverick, the best helicopter for them is the Buzzard as it
is smaller. This is located in Fort Zancudo or can be bought for $2 million from the "Warstock Cash
&
Carry"
dealership
on
your
phone.
For all of the bridges we strongly advise you make use of the quick save feature when you are
approaching one, just in case something goes wrong. Therefore if something goes wrong and you
hit the bridge or the challenge does not register, you can quickly reload and try again. It is also
highly recommended you max out the "Flying" statistic of one of your characters first by
completing the lessons at the Flight School at the Los Santos International Airport (Trevor will be
nearly maxed out when you gain control of him in the story). This will greatly help with stability
and
control
for
the
delicate
movements.
You must not touch the sides of the bridges at all with your rotor blades, otherwise the challenge
will not register. Only move on to the next bridge once an on-screen notification appears saying
"Under The Bridge Completed!"
Knife

Flights

There are 15 Knife Flight challenges in the game. A Knife Flight is when you tilt a plane on its side
so that the wings are vertical, and to complete a "challenge" you have to do this manoeuvre
between two buildings. Use the
to tilt your plane on its side, then use the rudders with
and
to
maintain
altitude
and
balance.
The best aircraft to do all of the challenges with is the fighter jet due to its speed, although the stunt
airplane that occasionally appear at the McKenzie Field Hangar might be useful if you are
struggling with the trickier challenges due to it being thinner and having the more precise control

overall. However, it is much slower so you have to maintain your position and balance for a much
longer period. The fighter jet can be found at Fort Zancudo, the military base in the west of San
Andreas. You will automatically get a 4-star wanted level when you enter the base so make a quick
save beforehand as it will likely take a few tries to successfully steal the jet.
As with "Under The Bridges", it is highly recommended you use a character with a maxed out
"Flying" statistic to give you more control over your aircraft. Completing the "Knife Flights" lesson
at the Flight School is also good preparation for these challenges as the tutorial tells you exactly
what to do. Most importantly, remember to quick save just before you attempt a challenge so you
can easily restart if the attempt goes awry. Only move onto the next challenge once "Knife Flight
Completed!"
appears
on
your
screen.
Please check the 100% Completion Guide & Checklist for maps showing the locations of all "Under The
Bridges" and "Knife Flight" challenges.
Off the Plane

GTA Online: Complete the Introduction.

(14)

The first thing you will have to do when accessing GTA Online for the first time is design your
character. You can adjust the various "Heritage" options to tweak the facial appearance and gender
of your character, choose "Lifestyle" to adjust your various starting stats, and finally "Appearance"
for the more physical characteristics like age, hair and clothes. Once this is done, select "Save &
Continue". After this, the introductory cutscene will play accompanied by the credits.
Lamar will pick your character up from the Los Santos International Airport, say a few welcoming
words and give you your first weapon. He will drive you to a house and drop you off. As soon as
you get out of the car, this trophy will pop.
Three-Bit Gangster

GTA Online: Reach Rank 25.

(8)

Please see Above the Law for more information. You will need 127,100 RP to reach Rank 25.
Making Moves

GTA Online: Reach Rank 50.


Please see Above the Law for more information. You will need 448,800 RP to reach Rank 50.

(4)

Above the Law

GTA Online: Reach Rank 100.

(87)

In order to reach Rank 100, you will need exactly 1,583,380 RP. Practically every activity in GTA
Online will reward you with RP (Reputation Points), whether it be larger hauls from Jobs such as
missions and races or smaller boosts from miscellaneous acts like holding up stores and losing
Wanted Level stars. There is no escaping the fact that this is a long and arduous grind that will by
no means come quickly. There are a couple of things to bear in mind:
1: Completing a mission as a team as opposed to solo will give you a 20% increase in your RP
reward for that mission and if a member of that team is in the same Crew as you, you will receive a
further
10%
boost.
2: Setting the difficulty to "Hard" in the pre-mission options will also give you a 1.5x RP boost
upon
completion.
Since Patch 1.06, almost all avenues of boosting RP quickly and efficiently have been removed by
Rockstar. Therefore, reaching Rank 100 is an extremely long grind that will easily take upwards of
100 hours just if you are solidly doing Jobs and performing well in them. There are a few RP
exploits that get found, which is to be expected with an Online mode of this size, but Rockstar are
extremely diligent and as soon as they are found and posted on the Internet (such as on Youtube or
their
own
forums),
they
will
act
very
quickly
to
remove
them.
Exploits usually appear after new patches, so my advice would be to closely monitor the GTA V
forum of this site andthis thread in particular to see if any new exploits appear. Then, get onto them
as quickly as possible because the better and faster they are, the quicker they will be removed.
Similarly, keep an eye out for Double XP weekends and use them to your advantage to lessen the
grind.
Numero Uno

GTA Online: Obtain first place in all competitive game types.

(122)

There are numerous competitive game types that you must obtain first place in. The complete list is
as follows:

Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch

Air Race

Land Race - Standard

Land Race - GTA

Land Race - Rally (either as Driver or Co-Driver).

Sea Race

Arm Wrestling - Minimum one round.

Darts - Minimum 1 leg.

Golf - Minimum 1 hole.

Tennis - Minimum 1 set.

Shooting Range - Win any one of a Cover Target, Random Target or Target Grid match.

Parachuting

Complete a Gang Attack.

Complete all 10 waves of Survival Mode.

Thankfully all of the above can be easily boosted with a single friend or boosting partner in an
"Invite Only Session", with the exception of the Rally race and Team Deathmatch which require a
minimum of 4 each. Survival Mode and Gang Attack can be done in a Solo Session once you attain
Rank 15 and 18 respectively. If boosting, once everyone is in the Private Session you can start any
of the race types immediately by pausing, then selecting "Online => Jobs => Host Job => Rockstar
Created => Races => *Select Race*". Similarly, you can access Deathmatches by the same method,
swapping "Races" in the selection process with "Deathmatches". All other activities must be
activated by travelling to their respective icons on the map and hosting that way.
The earliest point at which you can complete this trophy is Rank 18 as that is when Gang Attacks
are unlocked. To check which game types you have already won, pause and go to "Stats => Awards
=> Victory" to see an overview of your medal progress for each specific game type. Not all of the
medals in this category denote objectives required to earn this trophy, only those which specifically
register
the
number
of
wins
in
the
game
types
listed
above.

The Midnight Club

GTA Online: Use custom vehicles to win 5 races.

(20)

After completing the tutorial missions in the beginning of GTA Online, you will unlock the Los
Santos Customs shops ( ) on your map. Simeon will call and tell you to steal a car that you can
use as your own personalised vehicle. Steal any car except a "premium vehicle" (basically any
except the fast sports cars) and make sure it is customizable. Now bring it back to the Los Santos
Customs shop and add a tracker and insurance, all of which are free the first time. This will be your
personal
insured
vehicle
and
can
be
used
in
Land
Races.
Shortly after getting the car, Land Races will be shown all over the map and represented by the
icon. Go to one of these icons and choose to host a race, making sure you enable "Custom
Vehicles: ON" in the race settings and set "Vehicle Class" to the same class as your vehicle. For
example, if you are driving a Coupe, you must choose "Coupe" as the vehicle class. If the class you
choose does not match with the class of your insured vehicle, it will not be available to select. To
see which class your own vehicle belongs to, simply press
while driving. Behind the car's name
it shows the vehicle type in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This trophy will not unlock in
"Solo Session" so you must boost it with a friend or do it legitimately.
Once hosting, wait until at least one other person has joined the match and choose your own
customised vehicle in vehicle select. You need to win 5 races using any custom vehicle, you do not
have
to
win
all
5
races
with
the
same
vehicle.
This can also be boosted very easily in a private lobby. Invite a friend to the race, set the number of
laps to "1", choose a very short track like "Criminal Records" and then beat them 5 times. After the
race, you can elect to "Replay" it by selecting the option in the bottom-left corner after the race is
over. This will restart the race with the exact same settings so the wins will come very quickly.

Unnatural Selection

GTA Online: Complete all 10 waves of a Survival.

(17)

Survival is a wave-based mode that sees you battle increasingly difficult enemies for a maximum of
10 waves. It is first available once you reach Rank 15 when Ron calls you informing you of a
commotion at the Industrial Plant. It is mandatory to go there and participate in your first Survival
match after which they are available to play at any time, however, it is possible to earn this trophy
earlier by having a friend who is Rank 15 or above invite you to a Survival lobby.
Survival mode, even with 4 players, can be very tough as enemies get stronger with each wave that
goes by in terms of both health and weaponry, though their A.I behaviour and numbers don't alter.
Furthermore armoured SUVs and Buzzard helicopters are introduced later on to increase the

difficulty, however, there is an exploit on one of the maps which makes completing all 10 waves
ridiculously
easy.
Firstly, you should visit any Ammu-Nation store in preparation and stock up on ammo. You take
into each Survival match what you have in your inventory at the time so it is wise to be prepared
rather than run out mid-wave, then press
and select "Online => Jobs => Host Job => Rockstar
Created
=>
Survival"
and
select
the
"Boneyard"
map.
Immediately as the first wave starts, look to your right to spot a grey portacabin in front of a red
wall. In between these two structures is a very narrow gap, which is where you will camp for the
entirety of the 10 waves. For some inexplicable reason, if you position yourself here all of the
enemies will spawn in front of you and run into your line of sight repeatedly. All you have to do is
hug the wall of the portacabin by pressing
then move along it with
and
depending on
which direction the enemies are coming from on your mini-map, then stick your head out to aim
and pick them off using the "Traditional GTA" targeting mode. On rare occasions an enemy will
reach the red wall and have a clear shot at you but instead of taking a shot, for some reason they
prefer to either take cover behind the rocks on the right-hand side or the wall on the left-hand side
so
these
should
be
of
little
trouble.
A Buzzard helicopter will appear on waves 4 and 7 in solo, but they pose little threat as they can't
shoot you in your narrow space. When they fly overhead and away from you, pop out of cover and
try to shoot the pilot to bring it down instantly. It can be difficult to hit him though so you may
prefer to shoot the helicopter until it crashes. The SUVs pose no threat as the enemies will
conveniently park up in front of you in the open and climb out, just pick them off easily or throw
sticky
bombs/grenades
at
the
vehicles
to
blow
them
up
instantly.
If you find yourself needing supplies, it is advised to wait until there is one enemy left (a
notification at the bottom of the screen will tell you this) and then going around the battlefield
carefully avoiding him while mopping up weapons, ammo, health and body armour if you need it.
You have 20 seconds to do this in between waves anyway, but sometimes you can be pushing it a
little tight and the last thing you need is to be caught out in the open when the next wave starts.
Using this method I (Krid) completed all 10 waves solo and was only shot a handful of times but
never enough to even deplete my body armour. It may, however, be advisable to do this with a
partner (with each person guarding one end of the portacabin), simply for the security just in case
something does go awry like running out of ammo mid-wave or even dying. With multiple players,
if one player dies then they will be resurrected at the end of the wave if the other survives. Using
this method with 3-4 players is still very possible, but is ill-advised due to the large increase in
enemy numbers and the fact that there is little room in the narrow gap for the extra players to be of
any
use.
One time only during a Survival match, you can call in helicopter support to assist you one time
only. This is done by calling "Merryweather" from the Contacts section of your in-game phone for
a cost of $5,000. This will also net you theDialling Digits
trophy if you haven't got it already.

Backseat Driver

GTA Online: Direct a driver to 1st place as co-driver in Rally Mode.

(114)

To participate in a Rally, you must travel to any of the blue "Land Race" icons ( ) on the map,
host a session then choose Race Type: Rally Mode. You will need 4 players for this trophy as the
match won't start with uneven teams so it is best to do it in a private session and invite three friends
or
boosting
partners
to
join
you.
Once you have four people, select your "Preferred Partner" (which can be anyone, assuming you
are going to swap wins) and most importantly, next to "Preferred Role", select "Co-Driver".
You must be the co-driver for this trophy to unlock. None of the other settings matter, so choose
whichever
you
like.
Rallying works similar to real-life, where the co-driver directs the driver and communication is
paramount. The driver's screen shows no race checkpoints, so it is up the co-driver to direct him in
the right direction. This is most easily done with a PS3 headset or another voice chat service like
Skype, but can also be done with the
and
buttons on the D-pad. Pressing these buttons will
bring up a corresponding yellow directional arrow on the left or right side of the driver's screen to
tell him when to turn. Simply direct the driver to the finish line first and the trophy will unlock.
An even easier method is to do a race in Rally Mode on the "Criminal Records" track. This is a
simple circular track going in a clockwise direction so you don't even need to direct the driver to
win as the course is obvious.
Run Like The Wind

GTA Online: Survive with a Bounty on your head.

(32)

Shortly after reaching Rank 10 you will receive a call from Lester while driving around in the open
world in Multiplayer. Lester will ask you to come to his home, marked with a white "L" on the
map. Go there and watch the cutscene to unlock the ability to place bounties on other players'
heads. To do so, access the "Contacts" app from your in-game phone and then call Lester. Select the
option "Set Bounty" and select then choose a player from your session to place a bounty upon. The
minimum cash you need to place a bounty on a player's head is $2,000 ($1,000 for the bounty and
$1,000
for
Lester's
cut).
The easiest way to earn this trophy is by inviting a friend or a boosting partner to a private session

and getting them to place a bounty on your head using the above method. You must be Rank 10
yourself to have a bounty placed on your head, even if the other player has unlocked the ability to
set
bounties.
For the trophy to unlock you must survive with a bounty for 24 in-game hours, plus however long
it takes to reach the next hour mark. For example: If someone sets a bounty on you at 12:27pm, you
must survive until 1pm the next day. One in-game day is a real-life total of 48 minutes.
Participating in activities, races or missions will pause the timer, so the best way to pass the time is
by driving or running around the map to avoid timing out (set at 15 minutes of being idle) and
leaving the session. One thing you cannot do is camp in your apartment, as the timer will pause as
soon as you enter it. If an NPC kills you or you commit suicide, the bounty will not be negated so if
you are only with your boosting partner in a session you don't have to worry.

There is also a small chance that you might get lucky with this in a solo session. If you steal cars
from NPCs (particularly the more expensive "premium" cars), there is a chance that they will place
a bounty on your head in revenge. You will get a threatening text message from them then Lester
will call you informing you that you have a bounty on your head. Survive for 24 hours (flying
around the map is best in solo as the NPC will never find you) and the trophy will be yours.
Clean Sweep

GTA Online: Finish a Gang Attack without dying and kill at least 10 enemies.

(13)

Gang Attacks are unlocked at Rank 18 after receiving a call from Martin Madrazzo informing you
that gang members are causing trouble in certain areas of San Andreas. From this point onwards
when travelling around the world you will see red circles appear on your mini-map indicating
where there is a gang presence. These won't appear on the overall map in the pause menu so the
only way to find them is by driving around and keeping an eye on your mini-map. There do seem to
be some fixed locations, such as the homeless camp under the bridge just south of the shooting
range at an Ammu-Nation and the construction site a few blocks to the north-west of it. If one does
not appear in these locations, it might be best starting a new session and going back to that location
as
opposed
to
driving
round
aimlessly
looking
for
others.
It is preferable to stock up on ammo and buy some body armour before initiating the Gang Attack
as even though you can still complete it after respawning, the trophy won't unlock if you die. Once
you are ready, go into the red circle and either wait for the enemies to start shooting you or start
killing them yourself. Once you do you will have an indicator in the bottom-right corner saying
"Remaining: /15" to show you how many enemies are left. Take cover, preferably on the edges of
the red circle to avoid being flanked from all sides and be patient. Keep an eye on your enemies'
positions on the mini-map and pop out to take them down if they get close. Once they are all dead
then,
assuming
you
didn't
die,
this
trophy
will
pop.

This trophy is best attempted solo rather than in a public lobby to ensure that other players don't
take too many kills but if you have a friendly partner in a private session, they can kill up to 5
enemies and draw their fire to make it easier for you to survive.

GTA Online: Earn 30 Platinum Awards.

(81)

Platinum Awards are in-game accomplishments that are earned by completing certain challenges in
GTA Online. There are 85 in total but only 30 are needed for this trophy. Most Awards are tierbased (Bronze > Silver > Gold > Platinum) but 22 are one-time only accomplishments that give
you
a
Platinum
straight
away.
Luckily the vast majority of the Awards can be boosted either solo or with 2-4 players in an Invite
Only Session. You can check your progress towards the various Awards by pausing and selecting
"Stats => Awards" and scrolling through the different categories. Similarly, clicking the "Awards"
tab in the Rockstar Social Club will take you to a list of all medals and your current progress.
Below is a list of all 85 Award requirements, along with various tips. Awards highlighted
in blue are the one-time only Platinum Awards and the ones marked with an asterisk (*) are the
easiest ones we recommend you obtain by yourself in a Solo Session or with a single boosting
partner
in
an
Invite
Only
Session.
For a detailed guide for this trophy, please see this thread created by FlutterGuy: Grand Theft Auto V 'Decorated' (30 Platinum Online Awards) Guide

Stick Up Kid

GTA Online: Hold up all 20 Stores.

(15)

It is highly recommended you earn this trophy in Solo, this can be accessed while in Single Player
by pressing
=> Online => GTA Online => Solo Session. If you play in a public session, other
plays can hold up stores (which makes them disappear from your map for a while to "regenerate")
and
can
also
kill
you
and
steal
your
money.
There are 20 stores around San Andreas and all of them are marked on your map by the
icon.
You will learn how to hold up a store as part of the tutorial. You must enter the store and aim a
weapon at the shopkeeper to intimidate him and make him empty the cash register, which he will
do more quickly if you shout down the headset or fire your weapon into the wall behind him. Once
the meter fills up, he will throw a bag of money over the counter and you can leave. What the
tutorial doesn't tell you is that if you shoot the cashier in the head immediately, you can go around
to the register and empty it yourself with . You only earn around 1/3 of the cash, but this is useful
if you need a quick getaway or you are just looking to complete this trophy as quickly as possible.

You

incur

no

extra

Wanted

Level

penalty

from

killing

him.

As soon as you aim your weapon, you will will have a Wanted Level which starts at 2-stars and
increases with the number of consecutive stores you hold up. You do not have to evade the Wanted
Level for the store to count as "held up", so even if you die it will count as long as you picked up
the bag of money. You can also swap to Single Player quickly via the character-selection wheel
then start a new Solo Session to erase your Wanted level completely or you can hold up a store
wearing a mask and remove it out of sight of the cops to instantly lose a star.
The stores you have successfully held up will have a green tick next to the map icon ( ) and to
check which stores out of the 20 you have left to hold up, access the map with
then scroll down
to "Store" with
and through them with
or . You can do this over multiple sessions as once
a shop has been robbed, the progress will be saved permanently for the character you are playing
with.
Enjoy Your Stay

GTA Online: Participate in everything Los Santos has to offer.

(45)

[GLITCHED] Despite what the trophy description says, you don't have to participate in every
activity for this trophy as only the following is required:

Buy a private dance at the Strip Club (


buy one for $40 then walk out.

Buy clothes - Completed as part of the tutorial.

Get a haircut.

Get a tattoo (On the torso, to be certain).

Have an Arm Wrestle - Minimum 1 round.

Hold up a store (

Play Darts (

Play Golf ( ) - Minimum 1 hole.

Play Tennis (

) - You don't need to actually have the dance, just

).

) - Minimum 1 leg (the first to score 301).

) - Minimum 1 set.

Play the Shooting Range (

) - Play one challenge.

Some people have experienced a problem where they have partaken in all of the above activities
but the trophy did not pop. It seems to be the tattoo that is a little glitchy so go back and try getting
a
different
tattoo
on
the
torso
area.
Thanks
to dcollins22 for
this
tip.
All of the above can be completed as early as Rank 6 when the Strip Club and sports activities
become available and all activities except for Arm Wrestling, Darts and Tennis can be done in a
Solo Session. For those you can invite a friend or a boosting partner to a private session to get them
done
quickly.
To check which activities you have done, pause the game with , go across to the "Stats" tab then
to "Unlocks" => "Progress". This will provide a list of all the activities in the game, but only the
ones listed above specific to Los Santos matter. Find the activity corresponding with the checklist
above and check next to it for a "No" or "Yes" indicating whether or not you have completed this
activity. Beware that if you quit out of an activity before completing it (or your opponent does
during the sports), then it will be marked as "Yes" but won't actually have counted. You can also
check by looking at the icon on your map; if there is a green tick in the top-left corner of the icon, it
has been participated in. Once all the above activities have been completed, the trophy will unlock.
To find a boosting partner, please click here: Trophy Boosting Thread (Read First Post!).
Crew Cut

GTA Online: Complete a Job as a member of a Crew.

(11)

Crews are GTA V's version of clans. For this trophy you need to finish any Job (such as a mission
or a race) with one person who is in the same Crew as you are. It doesn't matter if you play in a
team together or against each other, nor does it matter if you win the race/mission or get defeated,
the trophy will unlock regardless. You can create your own Crew and invite a friend or accept a
Crew invite. If you are hosting the match, choose "Crew Members" in the invite menu or select
someone from your friends list who is part of the same Crew and invite them. Your entire Crew
need
only
consist
of
2
people
for
this
trophy.
You can create or apply for a Crew of your choosing by linking your PSN ID to the Rockstar Social
Club and you can recruit members for your Crew or search for one matching your needs on this site
using the Crew Recruitment Thread (Read First Post!).
Full Refund

GTA Online: Kill the thief that mugged you.

(36)

For this trophy, you will need to be in a lobby with someone who's Rank 50 or above. The easiest
way to do this is to find one in your Crew or the Trophy Boosting Thread and set up a private session,
rather than relying on chance in a public lobby. You do not need to be Rank 50 yourself to earn this
trophy.
Once at Rank 50 your boosting partner will get the option to call Lamar, select the "Send Mugger"
option and choose a player in the session to send the mugger after for a fee of $1,000, just like the
process for bounties for Run Like The Wind . Your partner must select you, and you must have
cash on your person (although the amount can be as little as possible).
When this is done an enemy NPC will shortly arrive and tackle you to the floor, taking some or all
of your money in the process. Your character will be staggered and unable to stand up for a few
seconds so follow the direction he runs off in with the in-game camera ( ) and as soon as you can
stand up, chase after him. If you lose sight of him you can just follow the blip on your mini-map.
Once you get close enough, kill him and take your money back at which point the trophy will pop.
Dialling Digits

GTA Online: Call for gang backup for the first time.

(17)

Once you reach Rank 20, you will get a call from Merryweather informing you that you can now
utilise their help to call in air support via helicopters. To do so, go to the "Contacts" app on your
phone and call Merryweather. Select "Backup Helicopter" (which costs $5,000) and they will send
a Buzzard to support you. As soon as the Buzzard arrives the trophy will unlock, regardless of
whether it actually kills anyone.
American Dream

GTA Online: Own an Apartment, Garage and an Insured Vehicle

(30)

For this trophy you must own all three components simultaneously. The "Insured Vehicle"
component of this trophy is automatically covered, as you will get your first insured vehicle for free
as part of the tutorial missions. If for any reason you lose this vehicle, you can call "Mors Mutual
Insurance" from your phone to get it back or steal a cheap car (not a "Premium" one as they are
untrackable) and take it to a Los Santos Customs shop. Select Loss/Theft Prevention then buy the
"Tracker"
and
"Insurance".
To get an Apartment and Garage you need to be at least Rank 5 and have $80,000 cash in the bank.
You will get money fairly quickly by holding up stores, winning competitive match types, finishing
missions and races or by collecting vehicles for Simeon or selling them at Los Santos Customs.
Once you have $80,000, open your web browser and either click the "Dynasty 8" advert or go to
the "Money and Services" tab and select the Dynasty 8 website (www.dynasty8realestate.com) and
scroll down until you see the "0112 S Rockford Dr, Apt 13" property that costs $80,000. It comes

with a garage so you won't need to invest money in a separate one. As soon as you purchase the
property,
the
"Apartment"
and
"Garage"
requirements
will
be
fulfilled.
You must buy a property from the Internet via your phone, this is because the trophy won't
unlock if you buy one from the "For Sale" signs in front of the various properties dotted
around the map.

Secret Trophies
Welcome to Los Santos

You repo'd a car and raced it through the heart of a sun-soaked metropolis.

(1)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 2nd story
mission "Franklin and Lamar".
After the prologue is over you will come to Los Santos and be in control of Franklin. In the
beginning of this mission you will have to pick one of two cars to jack (steal) then race your buddy
Lamar to a certain location. After the race you will have to escape the cops and bring the car back
to the dealership garage. The trophy will pop after the cutscene at the garage.
A Friendship Resurrected

With friends like this who needs enemies?

(3)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 19th story
mission "Fame or Shame".
Go to the "M" on your map while playing as Trevor or Michael to start this mission, you will have
to drive to the Maze Bank Arena and go inside. After that you need to chase down a certain
character in an 18-wheeler. After the scripted chase you will eventually catch up with him, at which
point a cutscene will play and the trophy will unlock.
A Fair Day's Pay

It's time for a little getaway.

(5)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 38th story

mission "Caida Libre".


Go to the "MZ" on your map while playing as Trevor or Michael to start this mission. You will
have to go to the Galileo Observatory and get the high-powered sniper rifle from the van that is
parked there, then you need to shoot down an airplane by firing at the red square in front of it to
accommodate for the time lapse. Now follow its smoke trail through the desert until it crashes.
Once there kill the last passenger and go into the airplane to grab some documents. In the last step
you need to destroy your van, go to Martin's house and meet up with your partner to end the
mission. The trophy will pop after that.
The Moment of Truth

You have uncovered the truth about Brad.

(4)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 49th story
mission "Bury the Hatchet".
Go to the "M" on your map while playing as Trevor or Michael to start this mission. You will need
to drive to the Los Santos International Airport as Michael first and then to a graveyard. You will
see a cutscene and subsequently be attacked by Cheng's small private army, fight your way through
them and back to Michael's car. In the last part you will switch to Trevor automatically and need to
reach the yellow target destination with your airplane. Once you get there and land the plane safely,
the mission will end and the trophy will unlock.
To Live or Die in Los Santos

Completed the final mission.

(10)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 69th story
mission, which depending on your choice is called either "The Third Way", "Something
Sensible" or "The Time's Come". The guide below follows The Third Way as that relates to
"Option C" which we recommended you choose in the Roadmap to avoid missable trophies.
When the last mission stars you will get a call while playing as Franklin, be sure to pick option
"C"! In the first part you need to meet up with Lamar and drive to the target destination where you
meet Michael and Trevor. Fight off all the enemies and you will get the task to assassinate one
enemy leader with each character. Kill all of these high-value targets to receive the final objective
as Trevor. Go to the final target's house, kill the guards around the pool and approach the target.
Finally, drive to the rendezvous point and enjoy the final cutscene after which the final story trophy
will pop.
Diamond Hard

You cleaned out Vangelico to pay back Martin Madrazo.

(3)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, It will unlock after completing the 13th story
mission "The Jewel Store Job".
This is the first heist mission. After finishing the preparations, you can choose between two
approaches for this mission (i.e "Loud" or "Smart"). It does not matter which one you choose, it
just changes the short preparation missions and the way the heist plays out. Your final reward
depends on which people you choose to employ. Less skilled hirees will demand less of a cut than
experienced hands, but they are more likely to die and lose the money they were carrying.
During the heist, rob the store and take as many jewels as you can from the cabinets before
escaping with the money on motorbikes. After losing the cops in the sewer tunnels and meeting at
the rendezvous point, the mission will end and you will earn the trophy.
Subversive

You stole an experimental super weapon from Merryweather... and gave it


back.

(4)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 27th story
mission "The Merryweather Heist".
This is the second heist mission. After finishing the preparations you can choose between two
approaches again (neither way will affect the trophy, just the way the mission pans out). Following
the "Freighter" choice, you must plant the bombs on the ship then detonate them and pick up the
experimental super weapon with the submarine. Bring it to the target destination to finish the
mission and unlock the trophy.
Blitzed

You performed a classic blitz play.

(1)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 34th story
mission "Blitz Play".
This is the third heist mission. After finishing the preparations you must head to the "H" symbol on
your map. Unlike other heist missions, you don't have the opportunity to choose between different
approaches
for
this
one.
Get the garbage truck in place and ram the security van with the two trucks. Blast open the doors
and take the money, then fight off the cops for a couple of minutes. After all the cops are gone you

need to drive the garbage truck to the target area with Franklin. Destroy the truck and deliver the
money to end this mission and unlock the trophy.
Small Town, Big Job

You made a big impression at the Paleto Bay Chicken Festival.


This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 44th story
mission "The Paleto Score".
This is the fourth heist mission. After finishing the preparations you must head to the "H" symbol
on your map. Again unlike other heist missions, you don't have the opportunity to choose between
different
approaches
for
this
one.
Go to the bank and take the loot from the safe. Now fight your way through all the cops with your
new weapon until you switch to Franklin automatically. Franklin has to bring a bulldozer to
Michael and Trevor. Be careful though as there are several military tanks driving around and
shooting you, use the scoop on the front to lift cars out of your way. Pick up your comrades and
drive to the building on the other side of the street. Make your way through that building and jump
on the train to end this mission and unlock the trophy.
The Government Gimps

You recovered sensitive information from a highly defended federal building.

(2)

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 57th story
mission "The Bureau Raid".
This is the fifth heist mission. After finishing the preparations you can choose between two
approaches for this mission. Following the "Fire Crew" option, you must go to the FIB building as
Michael dressed as a janitor (which is automatically done for you). In between tedious mopping
sections, you must plant incendiary bombs around the building. After that is done, go outside and
detonate the bombs before going back in as a fireman (again, this will be automatic). Enter the
building and take the hard drive, fight your way out then escape the cops and go back to Lester's
house to finish this mission and unlock the trophy.
The Big One!

This ain't no dream no more.

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed, it will unlock after completing the 68th story

mission The Big Score".


This is the sixth and final heist mission. After finishing the preparations you can choose between
two approaches for this mission. Go to the bank and rob the gold. Now depending on which method
you chose, you must either transport the gold with a helicopter and place it on a train or drive your
escape vehicle into the back of a truck after a scripted chase to secure the loot. Once either is done,
go to the rendezvous point to end the mission and unlock the trophy.

DLC: Heists

Cost: TBD Trophies: 9

Shot Caller

You invested your hard earned cash and set up a Heist.


While this trophy is technically story related, you cannot get the trophy unless you are the Heist
Leader. You will get this on the second heist, The Prison Break, after the initial cutscene. You will
also need at least $40,000 in order to start the mission. Note you must have 4 people in your game
in order to start the cutscene. If you have already completed all the heists as a crew member, you
can choose to replay any heist, and the trophy will pop during/after the intro cutscene.
Four Way

As Heist Leader you set the Finale cut as 25% across all players.
Only the Heist Leader can get this trophy, crew members will not. You can get this trophy on any 4
player
heist
(i.e.
The
Prison
Break
and
onwards).
When you are the Heist Leader, you will choose the missions and which player has which task in
each heist and setup mission. After completing all the setup missions, you will begin the main heist
itself, which starts with a planning board where you can choose the tasks and payouts for each
player.
The Heist Leader is always offered more money than the others because they are the ones who pay
the setup costs, so you will need to adjust the payouts. Simply change the payout so that each
player gets 25%. The trophy should pop at the end of the heist after seeing the payouts appear.

Note it appears that if somebody disconnects from your team right at the end of the heist, the trophy
will not pop, so tell your teammates not to leave until the cutscene is done.
Live a Little

You spent a total of $8,000,000 purchasing vehicles included as part of The


Heists Update.

(15)

This trophy will require some grinding. The trophy requires you to spend $8,000,000 on vehicles
that are part of the Heists update. Some vehicles are unlocked from the start, but the rest of the
vehicles will be unlocked as you play through the Heists. You can view purchasable cars by going
to your phone with , then selecting the Travel and Transport option on the phone with
and
going
to
the
various
websites.
After completing all the Heists once, you will have earned roughly around $2,000,000. If you are
playing with a dedicated group of players and each person hosts every mission once, you might
earn close to $8,000,000 in that time. However, there are ways to exploit money to get the trophy
quicker, but Rockstar keeps patching the exploits so I wont post any specific tips here, but keep
checking the other threads on the forum to see if any new exploits are found.
You can buy a car and sell it right away and it will still count toward the trophy, but only if the
vehicle is labeled as "Part of the Heists update" on the vehicle websites. You don't need to only
purchase cars, the planes and helicopters that are from the same update will also count, however
you
are
unable
to
sell
those
vehicles.
Note this trophy has been reported to pop a few minutes after reaching the $8,000,000 spent. Some
people have reported it taking over 30 minutes to unlock. For me the trophy popped instantly, about
10
seconds
after
buying
my
last
vehicle.
Another way to make some easy money would be to buy a GTA cash card with real money. Most
people will not want to do this, but for those who just want to get the trophy as fast as possible,
there is no faster way than to buy GTA $ and using that to buy the vehicles.
Can't Touch This

You completed a Heist Finale without taking any damage.

(9)

This trophy may or may not come naturally. You must complete an entire heist from start to finish
without taking damage, and without anyone failing the mission. A mission failure includes too
many players dying and running out of lives, or failing to complete an objective in time.
There are 2 Heists to get this trophy easily. The first would be The Fleeca Job, which is the first
heist in the game, only requiring 2 people to complete it; the other is The Prison Break, requiring
4
people.

For the Fleeca Job, your objective is to take a car to the bank, rob it, then escape the police on a
predetermined route. The only time you need to be careful is when you are leaving the bank. There
will be some cops firing at you, so take them out before you leave. As you are following the route
you may or may not get shot, but if you manage to complete the last section without taking damage,
the trophy is yours. If you have body armour equipped, and you lose some armour(whether from a
crash
or
being
shot),
it
will
negate
the
trophy.
If you are playing on PS4, this mission is really easy to get the trophy on, as you can duck down
and
hide
in
your
car
by
pressing .
Thanks Dipsy for
the
tip!
The other heist, the Prison Break, is where you can also get the trophy. There are 2 task members
that are rarely in the line of fire: The Pilot and the Demolition player, and both only have small
sections
where
you
might
get
shot.
The Pilot just has to fly a plane to the Sandy Shores airfield and dodge missiles and planes. Then he
will land & pick up the others, and evade the police afterwards. After evading the police, the Pilot
will parachute to the beach and the mission will be pretty much done. The only time the pilot might
take damage is while picking up the other players, and while landing from parachuting. To avoid
damage while parachuting, simply hold
and
to slow your descent, and as long as you dont
crash into a cliff or the helicopters blades, you wont take damage.
The Demolition player has to steal a prison bus and dispose of it. Then they will take a chopper and
blow up planes chasing the Pilot. The only times the Demolition player might take damage is while
hijacking the prison bus and taking the Buzzard chopper, so as long as they are careful and take out
the single guard at each part, they should be fine.
Mastermind

You earned 25 platinum medals across Heist Setups and Finales.

(19)

This trophy may come naturally if you are a good player, but if not, there is an easy way to get it!
You must earn 25 platinum medals across all the heists. You CAN replay the same heist and get a
platinum medal on the same missions, it WILL count! These platinum medals are not the same as
platinum awards that you earned for theDecorated trophy in the main game. These medals are
given based on how you do in each mission, where platinum is for first place, gold for second, and
so on. The best way to get yourself a platinum medal is to always go for the objectives, and get lots
of kills and headshots. The game tends to prioritize the objectives more than anything else, so if a
mission has something you need to pick up, or a specific character to kill, prioritize those over all
else. If a mission just has lots of enemies, get the most kills & headshots and you should get the
platinum
medal.
Here is a link to a quick guide I made to help you get some easy platinum medals:
Guide.

Platinum Medals

I would recommend finishing all the heists before grinding it afterwards, as you might get platinum
medals without even trying during some missions, making you only need to grind a few afterwards.
The fastest way to get the trophy would be to replay the first heist, The Fleeca Job. You can
replay it by calling Lester and selecting the option Replay Heist. The person who drives the car in
each setup mission and the heist itself will always get the platinum medal, regardless of how bad
you
drive.
Note that after completing the heist, you will have to wait 24 in-game hours (roughly 50 minutes)
before
you
can
replay
it.
However here is a tip from Dark_Raven666 to get it done faster:
For Mastermind, you can avoid the 48 minute cooldown on heists by cancelling the Heist at the
finale. So for Fleeca Job, you can do the two set ups and cancel the finale, then call Lester and do
it straight away. Makes grinding platinum medals a lot faster.
If you want to keep track of your progress, press
Heists and finally the award called Decorated.
