Here is the Grand Theft Auto V Solid Gold Baby Trophy Guide.
To earn a Gold Medal you need to perform certain actions such as perform 10 headshots or drive a car without taking any damage etc.
There are 79 main missions in Grand Theft Auto V and 58 Strangers And Freaks missions (20 of which are required to complete for 100% game completion) allowing you plenty of scope to earn 70 Gold Medals as some mission requirements can be very difficult.
Fortunately, you can replay any mission as many times as you need to focusing on one particular element such as 10 headshots then go back and do the same mission again to focus on for example use Franklin’s special ability for 7 seconds.
Whichever elements you have completed stay completed and still count towards the overall Gold Medal score.
To replay a mission go Menu> Game> Replay Mission / Replay Strangers and Freaks then work your way down the list systematically until you have 70 Gold Medals.
Below, I’ll list every Main Mission and every Strangers And Freaks mission as well as their respective conditions you need to meet in order to earn a Gold Medal with a coding system of green for simple mission objectives, amber for challenging objectives and red for really tough challenges.

You will need to be quick and effective at taking the bikers down as well as getting back one you’re in the plane. - Nervous Twitch> Win the race against Ron

Please Note: If you crash the plane, no bridges will be counted unless you fly under them again which can be frustrating as you hit a checkpoint after dumping the cargo.
As you are flying your plane following Ron you will come across 3 bridges along Cassidy Creek, the first of which is a small bridge so go slow and get the angle right to make it through. The next 2 bridges on the way to the ocean are large enough to get any plane through.
The next bridge can be found to the left after you drop the packages off to the boats, the fifth bridge can be found a short way up the Zancudo River and is a tight fit so angle yourself left as you go through.
The final bridge is found at the end of the Zancudo River where you need to line yourself up well then pull up as soon as you’re through as there’s a telegraph pole right on the exit. - Death On A Wing> Kill all bikers whilst lying on the plane wing
Defeat all of the Bikers outside the hangar then go inside where you will be on a plane. You need to be very quick at taking the Bikers and this may well take you a good few attempts.

Combine this objective with the Perfect Gift objective (below) to get them both done and out the way.

Once all 5 bombs have been placed (there will be no more yellow dots) you can then trigger the bombs.
Fame Or Shame
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Fastest Speed> Reach top speed in the Phantom
The Phantom is the lorry cab and to reach top speed you need to unhook the trailer which you can do by holding Right then keep straight hoping there isn’t to much traffic.
If you do get a lot of traffic, have another go until you can reach top speed (the scenery will go a bit blurry). - Bearing Down> Stay close to Lazlow throughout the chase
Ensure you unhitch the trailer by holding Right which will allow you a lot more manoeuvrability as Lazlow is in a fairly quick car. You need to stay as close to him as possible throughout the chase so it might take you a few tries to learn the route as he can be erratic in driving. - No, I Can Park Here> Knock out the event coordinator
You will see the event coordinator in front of you when you park up in the car park. Walk up to him and press Circle to knock him out. - All Hooked Up> Don’t unhook the trailer

There are 4 containers you need to move, 2 in the Handler and 2 in the crane. For the 2 containers using the Handler, go to the containers and carefully drive them to their destinations. The crane containers can be a bit trickier.
Ensure you lift a container up as high at will go then take your time with lining the container onto the flatbed. Once you have successfully moved all 4 containers without damaging them, this objective will be completed. - Perfect Surveillance> Snap all 3 photographs of the boat as instructed
Once you are done in the crane loading the containers onto the wagons you need to take 3 photos, one of the front of the boat where you need to get the name of the ship in the photo.
The second photo requires you to photo the guard (he’s on the deck so zoom in). The third and final photo needs to be of the bridge (the tall white structure at the back of the ship that says Safety First).
Once you have all 3 photos, send them to Ron. - An Honest Day’s Work> Complete without causing a disturbance at the docks

Sounds simple but take to long on any section and 7.5 minutes disappears quickly. - Accuracy> Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 60%
Ensure you only fire whilst locked on and press the trigger once per enemy ensuring you go for the head, 60% is generous so you have scope to miss but in the chopper run, firing a ton of bullets is a bad idea as every miss drops your accuracy.

This is a tricky one due to the fact as soon as you steal the Trashmaster you will earn a 2 star wanted level and need to be very lucky to avoid them engaging you.
If they do shoot at you, you’ll take damage straight away making this a very challenging objective to complete. - Inn The Dust> Reach top speed in the Trashmaster

Hit the ceiling, the road or any cars and it will be a fail so take care and take it slow as you go under the bridge. - Tunnel Flight> Fly through the tunnel whilst following the security vans
Near the end of the security vans’ route, gently lower down and go through the tunnel slowly which will not only help you keep distance but also keep the chopper easier to control. - Mission Time> Complete within 11:00

Your starting weapon is a single shot pistol which will help keep you accuracy high. Only take a shot when you’re guaranteed a hit as 80% is a high target to make.
Pack Man
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Mission Time> Complete within 12:00
Drive up the freeway until you take control of the JB 700 then take down the cops quickly and efficiently using either the mounted guns for front offense or the spikes for cops coming up from the rear.
Once they’re down, follow the truck to the rendezvous and skip the cutscene where, depending on how quickly you took out the cops, you should just come in under the required time. - Not A Scratch> Complete with minimal damage to the JB 700
This is tough as the cops start firing at you immediately and you need to take them down so they aren’t led to the drop off point. Use the mounted guns as well as the spikes to take the cops down quickly whilst trying to stay clear of their shots and not crashing. Tough one this. - Shredder> Take out 3 cop cars using the spikes
Wait for a cop car to be about 1 car length behind you then press L3 to drop spikes on the road. Take out 3 cop cars this way.
Fresh Meat
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Switch Limiter> Don’t switch more than 3 times

Hang back from the Janitor’s car far enough as to not arouse suspicion but close enough that you can keep an eye on him all the way back to his house. - Time> Complete within 09:00
Time is tight here so get to the marker quickly then wait for the Janitor to leave, the problem is, it’s a scripted event as the Janitor will only go a certain speed so be patient then get yourself back to the factory smoothly to hopefully come in under the required time.
Architect's Plans
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Quick Getaway> Leave the construction site within 45 seconds

The Bureau Raid
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Mission Time> Complete within 18:00
Option A; Fire Crew is by far the easiest way to go here. Go through and mop the floors placing the bombs as you go then head down into the Fire Truck. From here, phone the Detonate option in your contacts to trigger the explosions.
Head into the F.I.B. building and proceed to the 53rd floor and collect the containment drive, from here make your way down and through the burning building dropping the hostile agents.
From here, abseil down the shaft into the fire truck then shift it to the marker then get to Lester’s house ensuring you skip the cutscenes along the way. This is a tight time limit, to many mistakes and you’ll need a redo. - Out Of Breath> Escape with 40% oxygen remaining
Be quick going through the area taking care not to sprint as this will use up more oxygen, hold Cross to jog rather than rapidly press it which will conserve your oxygen.
As long as you get out with more than 40% oxygen remaining, you’ll meet the objective. - You Missed A Spot> Complete the mopping section within 03:00
Whilst going through Option A Fire Crew, be quick whilst mopping. You get 2 mops then you need to go and change a dirty mop at the bucket. You need to be pretty much flawless to do this in 3 minutes as you also need to get the mop bucket back into the closet after placing the bomb in the restroom to meet the objective time. - Abseiler> Abseil down the elevator shaft within 30 seconds
When you get to the elevator, hold Square to abseil down fast, ensure you get down as quickly as you can to meet the objective.
The Wrap Up

Get to Dave’s location (go up the stairs at the back of the foyer) then clear out everyone who stands in your way ensuring you keep a few RPG rounds handy for the choppers.

- Time> Complete within 03:00
Ensure you have a fast firing weapon that can be shot from a car such as the Micro SMG then get after Rocco. Shoot his tyres out or just shoot him whilst he’s driving if you can then reject Solomon’s phone call to complete the mission.
Lamar Down
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Headshots> Kill 18 enemies with a headshot
Given the amount of enemies you’ll come up against, you might even get 18 headshots naturally, if not, aim at them then push up on the right stick to go for the head… 18 times. - Accuracy> Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 70%
This can be tough as the area is large so Shotguns won’t have the range and Pistols won’t lay down enough fire power so use short bursts on a Combat MG or similar weapon then stay in cover when you reload only taking the shot when you’re guaranteed a hit. - Three Way> Kill an enemy with all 3 characters
This should come naturally as you make your way through as Franklin, Trevor and Michael each get into trouble through the mission and need you to go be them to take close proximity enemies down.
If you’re really quick at killing then just ensure you get at least one kill with each of the 3 characters to satisfy the objective. - Time> Complete within 13:30
Send Trevor off to the right side position then place Franklin at the Bulldozer where Michael can lay down Sniper fire. From here, clear out all the Ballas where you’ll find Lamar then fight your way back to a vehicle.
Head back to LS as quick as you can where you will hopefully meet the time required. This is a tough target to hit though and any mistakes will cost you the objective.
Legal Trouble
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Mission Time> Complete within 05:30
Get to Molly’s position then chase her around the airfield until she goes for a ride then jack the plane at the front of the hangar and fly up high to lose the cops.
As soon as the cops have been lost you’ll complete the mission. This time is deathly tight though verging on to tight. - Floor It> Reach top speed in any car
Steal an car then once you’re in the airfield chase after Molly taking care not to hit the cops as you’ll slow down. On the straight you’ll easily hit top speed. - Clean Escape> Lose the wanted level within 02:00
Grab the jet after Molly’s demise then fly up high to avoid the cops. This should get rid of them in less than 2 minutes as long as you go very high so as to avoid the helicopters. - News Hound> View the Weazel News camera for 15 seconds
When prompted hold Circle for 15 seconds total. You will still be driving so try and use the news camera to keep an eye on your car and more importantly the road so you don’t crash.
Meltdown
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Time> Complete within 06:30

Take the sports car from outside the premiere then floor it down the straight. As long as you don’t crash you’ll hit top speed in the car. - Tier One Operator> Kill 12 enemies with a headshot
This is tight and tough. Use a decent weapon then aim high performing 12 headshots. The main problem is the Soldiers are heavily armed and your health bar will take a beating. - Headshot Rescue> Rescue Amanda and Tracey with a headshot
Activate Michael’s special ability by pressing both thumb sticks which slows time allowing you to aim for the head of both Soldiers holding Amanda on the stairs then Tracey in her bedroom.
Parenting 101
Gold Medal automatically awarded upon the missions’ completion.
Driller
Mission attempts recommended> I wouldn’t bother.
- Sneak Thief> Steal the Cutter without being detected
Grab a Sniper Rifle then climb up the ladder opposite the Driller’s location then take down the guards and workers starting from the back right and move to the front left.
This can be incredibly tough as one slip and you’ll get a 2 star wanted level and to be honest, it’s more hassle than it’s worth for a gold medal. - Time> Complete within 05:00
Fulfilling the requirements and doing so in less than 5 minutes including either taking everyone out then stealing the Driller or stealing the Driller then trying to lose the cops as well as delivering the rig in under 5 minutes is near enough impossible so complete the mission to move forward with the game but I’d forget the gold medal here.
Sidetracked
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Time> Complete within 04:30
You need to be flawless when flying the helicopter. One mistake or deviation and you’ll fail the time. Take out the guards quickly then switch the tracks. Fly low and precise grabbing the engine then a flatbed placing them carefully on the trailer to complete the mission. Tight, tight time this. - Undetected> Steal the train without being detected
Take out the worker by the tracks with a stealth attack / silenced weapon then slowly go upstairs and shoot the other guard with a silenced weapon.
The Big Score
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Headshots> Kill 20 enemies with a headshot
Choosing option B, Obvious will give you a lot more enemies to kill. You know what to do by now, aim high aiming for the head then put at least 20 enemies down with shots to the head. - Mission Time> Complete within 16:00
This is tough, tough time limit and can only be achieved on option B, Obvious. The problem is Lester in the chopper near the end. If he doesn’t get 3 perfect rocket shots off on the helicopters you won’t make the time limit as restarting a checkpoint keeps the timer ticking. This could easily be the objective that blocks the gold medal. - Cha-Ching> Drop the gold onto the train within 30 seconds
Once Lester has cleared out the choppers drop altitude quickly where need to get over the train’s flatbed allowing you to drop the gold. This is a very tight time limit and don’t be surprised if like most other objectives in this mission, it seems unachievable. - Accuracy> Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 60%
This can be tough given how good the enemy are at ducking into cover at the last second causing you to shoot a wall / barrier rather than the NOOSE / Police.
As always only take the shot when you’re guaranteed a hit. 60% may seem low but given the number of enemies you’ll face that can easily fall away with a few to many missed shots.
The Third Way
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Time> Complete within 21:30
Pick up Lamar then get to and clear out the factory. From here, deal with the 3 remaining targets and collect Devin. Send him for a drink to complete the mission skipping the cutscenes along the way to, providing you kill quickly in the Foundry and escape the heat quickly across the 3 assassinations, you’ll come in just under the time. - Headshots> Kill 20 enemies with a headshot
There’s a ton of F.I.B. and Merryweather to take down then a few more Merryweather at Devin’s house. Ensure you total 20+ headshots along the way. - Accuracy> Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 70%
70% is a tough ask given how dark the foundry is as well as the amount of enemies meaning automatic weapons are definitely the way to go. Ensure you only fire when you’re guaranteed a hit to increase your chances of keeping your accuracy high. - Stick, Tick… Boom!> Kill Cheng with a sticky bomb
You will of course need a sticky bomb so ensure you have some before starting / replaying the mission then after clearing the Foundry, get to Cheng and throw a sticky bomb on the middle car and detonate to put him down.
Careful around his guard though, they’ll shoot on site. - Lead Lobotomy> Kill Steve Haines with a headshot
Using a Sniper Rifle, drive down the pier then go against the left side (opposite the Ferris Wheel) and wait for the wheel to come round, line up the shot and stick a round in Haines’ head then lose the cops. - Stretched Out> Kill Stretch with a melee attack
Take out Stretch as Michael but be careful as he has an entourage with him. Stretch is the Balla with the white t shirt and the handgun. Get in the and lay him out quickly with a few well placed melee attacks then get out of there before the Ballas take you down.
Use sticky bombs / grenades / Micro SMG to deal with any pursuers.

Follow the steps to avoid the cops in Unwanted Outcome then race over to the marker within 02:44 to complete this objective. - Unwanted Outcome> Complete without gaining a wanted level

Take a photo of the Princesses bodyguard accepting the package from the drug dealer and send it over to Beverly to complete the objective.
Paparazzo - The Meltdown
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Thick of it> Stay close to Poppy throughout the chase
This is a hard objective to complete as Poppy drives very fast, erratically and is AI controlled so she naturally avoids the oncoming traffic as well the various trees / rocks / buildings you’ll need to get around.
To stay close to her, you need to be as close as the Police car is for the length of the chase which is a tall order especially as you can only use a car you steal rather than one you can customise.
If you touch the Police car to many times you will then earn a wanted level which is an instant fail of the mission as well. Make good use of Franklins ability to have an easier time of it, but don’t be surprised if this gold medal isn’t one you earn. - DUI Diva> Snap Poppy after she’s been cuffed
Wait until Poppy crashes where the Police will then arrest her. Stay back and use the zoom feature on the car to get close enough. Wait for her to be cuffed then take and send a photo of it to Beverly.
Paparazzo - The Sex Tape
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Quick Dip> Jump in the pool whilst following Beverly
After you sneak past the maid, you’ll go through a section of garden with a large pool to the right. Jump in the pool and come out the other side continuing the chase. - Money Shot> Achieve full facial recognition during chase
Once you’re caught being a voyeur and are in the car. Zoom in then focus on her face where the reticle needs to turn green. Focus on her on the straight rather than trying to track her when she’s weaving left and right to increase your chances.
Pulling Another Favor
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Time> Complete within 05:30
Get to the Tow truck then head over to collect the vehicle. Drive quickly but cautiously back to the yard and drop the car off in the marked area. As long as you don’t crash you’ll come in under the time easily. - Unhook Bonus> Keep the vehicle hooked until delivery
Once you’ve hooked the car, ensure you don’t reverse to hard or crash to keep the vehicle hooked.
Pulling Favors Again
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Time> Complete within 07:00
Get to the Tow truck then head to the marker. Get in front of the car and back up with the hook lowered to get the car off the train tracks before the train hits the car then stop allowing the driver to enter your cab.
Take the car to the marker to complete the mission. - Unhook Bonus> Keep the vehicle hooked until delivery
Once you have the vehicle off of the tracks head to marker ensuring you don’t reverse to hard or crash then drop the car in the marked section.
Pulling One Last Favor

Get over to the crashed car and hook it up. Drop it off at the marker then take Tonya back to the Tow truck yard without crashing to come in under the required time. - Unhook Bonus> Keep the vehicle hooked until delivery
As long as you don’t crash or reverse to hard you’ll keep the vehicle hooked until you need to drop it off at the marker.
Risk Assessment
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Free Faller> Fall for 7 seconds before opening the parachute
Nice and easy this one given how high you are. Jump out of the helicopter then slowly count to 10 before pulling the parachute. - Big Air> Get 2 seconds of air during the bicycle race
Keep your speed up across any of the big jumps to get 2 seconds of air time. It doesn’t matter if you go off the side to get the air time requirement as long as you don’t die and finish the race.
If you lose but still finish the race after getting 2 seconds of air time you will still meet the requirements so sacrifice a run just for this objective if needs be. - Downhill King> Win the bicycle race against Dom
Dom is quick on the downhill so take a few attempts if needs be to learn the course taking special care around the hairpin turns as it’s a long drop. - Dom does to to slow down near the end of the course so tuck in as much as you can and clip the second to last checkpoint as tight as you can allowing you to keep a good speed towards the finish.
Shift Work
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Fastest Lap> Complete a lap within 01:20
Use the first lap to get into first place where 9 times out of 10 the first lap will have the other racers crashing into you or crashing themselves blocking off the road then in lap 2 race smoothly and quickly to come in under 01:19.
Have a few goes at this mission to learn the course which will help a lot. - Underdog> Finish the race within 02:50
As long as you don’t crash and the traffic stays light (best at night) you stand a good chance of hitting this time. If you crash to often, however, you won’t be able to make the time so take a few runs to learn the course then with low traffic, you’ll get there in the end. - Clean Race> Finish the race with less than 5 collisions
Less than 5 collisions can be a tall order as the game counts other racers crashing into you as a collision as well as you crashing into other cars / objects. Keep it smooth throughout and stay ahead of the pack as best you can to hopefully avoid getting in 5 collisions.
Still Pulling Favours
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Time> Complete within 06:00
Get the Tow truck then head over and collect the car. From here, take it to the marker and drop if off in the yard without crashing to come in under the required time. - Unhook Bonus> Keep the vehicle hooked until delivery
As long as you don’t crash or reverse to hard you will keep the vehicle hooked until you need to drop it off at the mission marker.
Targeted Risk
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Dare Devil> Fall for 8 seconds before opening the parachute
Jump then pull back on the stick to slow yourself down. You need to pull the parachute just before you go to pass the top of the tree. This can be very to do as you only get a pass if you land on the truck as well. - Bullseye> Land perfectly on the back of the truck
Pull back and forward allowing you better control going to the flatbed. Pulling back will slow you down and pushing forward will speed you up. This might take you a good few attempts to do but eventually you’ll land on the truck on both feet completing the objective.
The Last One
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Wounded> Shoot the Sasquatch three times before catching it.
This can be tough as the Sasquatch is only visible for a few seconds and locking on is tricky as every time he’s visible there is either a Lioness or a Deer which will pull focus. - Go through the mission a couple of times to get a feel for where he is then shoot him three times with a low impact weapon like a Pistol.
- Hunter> Kill four animals whilst chasing the Sasquatch.
Chase after the Sasquatch where you will encounter 4 Lionesses as well as a Deer along the way, shoot 4 of the 5 animals dead. - Mr Green> Go to the scat site on foot.
Once you are told to go to the scat site, make your way down there on foot to the yellow marker on the map rather than taking a vehicle.
Uncalculated Risk
This mission becomes available after complete Targeted Risk as well as having completed all 13 parachute jumps through San Andreas which are show as white parachute symbols on the map.
You need to land on various targets after getting into the back of the chopper or finding the parachute on the ground. Once completed, Dom’s Strangers and Freaks mission marker will appear again, get over to the marker and go up to the dog.
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Leap of Faith> Jump after Dom and survive the fall.
After Dom jumps to his death go to the stairs to the left of his jump point then, with a parachute in your inventory, jump over the railings safely landing on the ground below.
Go to Dom’s body to complete the mission.

Chasing The Truth
Mission attempts recommended> 1.

Run right to the small shack then just on the outside of the fence will be a small TV on the ground. Don’t activate the alien detector as you make your way there to complete the objective.
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Collect 30 Submarine parts.
Firstly, go and find all 30 Nuclear Waste barrels (click the link to go to the complete Waste Management Trophy Guide for their locations) then go back to the Sonar Collections Dock and speak with Abigail.
From here, a dinghy will spawn and she’ll task you with collecting 30 submarine parts which are found in the green circles on the map and buy going to the centre of the white sonar ping, diving down and collecting the parts.
A new green marker won’t appear until you are back in the dinghy after collecting all of the parts in a given zone.
Also, take care if you see a red dot appear in the ocean as this will be a shark that will have you for lunch.
If it does eat you, you’ll earn Out Of Your Depth, however, you will have to go back to the dock and collect the dinghy again so circle around for a few minutes until the shark clears off.
Rinse and repeat until you have collected all 30 then return to the dock.
Put Abigail down after the cutscene to complete the mission.
Delivering The Truth
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Touchdown> Land the Velum without damaging it
Ensure you lower the landing gear and pull back slowing down as you approach to be able to land on the airfield safely. - Zondar the Bridge> Fly under a bridge along Lago Zancudo
This can be a bit troublesome as the brides are low to the ground and a tight gap to get through so take it slow and line yourself up where you can fit the Velum under one of the 3 bridges.
The bridge at the mouth of the river being the easiest.
Exercising Demons - Michael
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Contender> Win the race without using shortcuts
Stick to the path at the start without running across the grass then head down across the road and down the stairs. Cross the bridge then sprint to the finish.
Grass Roots - Michael
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Unmarked> Complete with minimal damage to health and armor
Take the Aliens down as quickly and efficiently as you can. Given the fact you have a minigun with infinite ammo will help but you still need to aim and fire quickly.
If you get hit to many times by their head laser you will fail the objective and with the minigun, cover isn’t an option so take a few attempts keeping an eye on the mini map as well as looking out for Aliens which spawn above you. - Kill Chain> Kill 7 aliens in 10 seconds
Near the end of the mission there will be a lot of Aliens spawning so take advantage and put them down quickly. As long as you take down 7 Aliens in less than 10 seconds, you’ll complete the objective.
Unknowing The Truth
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Cult Intervention> Kill all epsilon security
Once you get to the marker equip a powerful weapon then clear out the security which is a very challenging objective to complete as they come everywhere around you.
You also need to destroy the helicopter and any surviving crew as well. - Show me the Money> Steal the epsilon money and escape
Take out all security then escape with the car or get to the marker then reverse out of the lot and evade the security as if you’re evading the cops although the epsilon security are a lot more powerful and unrelenting than the cops every are.
Trevor
An American Welcome
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Downed> Stop the 1st immigrant within 30 seconds
This is tough as the first immigrant appears on a hairpin bend. Swing around the hairpin then, with the stun gun equipped, shoot the immigrant in the back to stun them as soon as you can.
You need to do this in less than 29 seconds. - Double Downed> Stop the 2nd group of immigrants within 55 seconds.
You need to take down the 2nd group of immigrants whom are on off-road bikes quickly. Get to the closes immigrant and ram him off the bike then keep pushing forward without slowing down in pursuit of the 2nd immigrant and take him down by any non lethal means possible. - Shock and Awe> Use the stun gun to stop all immigrants.
In total, you need to take down 3 immigrants whilst driving the vehicle so it will all depend on how good you are at steady aiming whilst driving. The stun gun has a very limited range so getting close to the ATV / bikes is essential here but there’s no way around it, it’s a tough objective to complete.
Exercising Demons - Trevor
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Good Cyclist> Don’t anger Mary Ann by cycling into her
Steer clear of Mary Ann at the start then carefully overtake her later in the race. - Quick Win> Win the race within 01:42
As long as you don’t crash / fall off your bike you’ll be able to make this time fairly easily.
Fair Game
Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Downwind> Don’t get detected by any Elk
Keep a good eye on the arrow in the bottom right and ensure you stay downwind of the Elk (Arrow needs to point down) then take them down with any shot (heart if you can, anywhere will do though). - Heart Hunter> Kill 3 elk with a heart shot
The Elk heart can be found in between their front legs at the base of their chest. Stay downwind so as not to spook the Elk, take aim and fire one round in the Elk’s chest to earn a heart shot.
On occasion the game won’t register a heart shot then the next time, you could place a bullet in exactly the same way on another run and it will count so try as many times as is needed to complete this objective.
Grass Roots - Trevor
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Pre-Emptive Strike> Destroy 4 clown vans before thy can generate clowns
This is a tough one as the clowns usually get out of the van as the van spawns so take a few runs to learn where the vans usually appear then destroy the vans as quickly as you can 4 times before any clowns get out. - Greatest Dancer> Kill 6 clowns whilst they are dancing
Every so often the clowns will start dancing, kill 6 of them whilst they’re doing so.
Minute Man Blues
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- What Goes Around…> Use the stun gun on Joe and Josef before killing them
Enter the Farm through the main entrance where you will find one of them aiming a gun at the immigrants. Equip your stun gun and tase him then equip and lethal weapon and put him down for good.
Move towards the barn in a vehicle with any offensive weapon equipped and as he bursts out of the barn in the tractor shoot the tyres out where he will get out of the tractor and bolt so be quick in stunning him.
Once stunned, equip a lethal weapon and put him down. - No Migration> Kill Joe and Josef before they leave the farm
If you’re struggling with the steps in What Goes Around, equip an RPG / Sticky Bomb and destroy the tractor before it can leave the farm.
Rampage: Ballas
As this is a rampage, you need to complete all 3 objectives in one run to earn the gold medal!
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Get 50 Kills
You get swarmed by Ballas in the alley way, I found it easiest to take them on at the entrance giving you enough room to not get surrounded as you have them coming from front, back, the sides and above.
Keep a good eye on your health bar and get to cover if you need to replenish some health then ensure you take down 50 in the time limit. - Get 6 Headshots
Aim at a Balla then push up on the right stick to go for the head. Take down at least 6 enemies with headshots. - Destroy 2 Vehicles
Open your weapon wheel to access your grenades then either shoot the driver making them crash or jump out of the way where the cars will stop behind you (they come through at high speed) then chuck a grenade to destroy a vehicle. Do this twice.
Rampage: Hipsters
As this is a rampage, you need to complete all 3 objectives in one run to earn the gold medal!
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Get 30 Kills
Keep laying Shotgun rounds down on the enemy which can be a pain as they sawn off has limited range so get up close whilst keeping an eye on your health bar. - Get 10 Headshots
Aim at any of the hipsters then push up on the right stick to aim for the head, achieve 10 headshots to complete the objective. - Destroy 2 Vehicles
Open your weapon wheel to access your grenades then destroy 2 vehicles which can be the Faggio’s (moped) or the Weeny Issi (Mini).

Open your weapon wheel and equip the Assault Rifle as long as you don’t have a tank on the field of play. Shoot the first 2 Soldiers that run off in the head quickly then allow 4 more Soldiers to exit a Jeep and put them down with headshots. It can be tricky but it’s doable as long as you aren’t getting run over by more inbound Soldiers. - Destroy 2 Tanks
Taking on Tanks is never recommended although here, they are a bit dumb so we’ll use that to our advantage. The tank seems to fire then aim for where you’re standing so strafe whilst firing (move left or right consistently) and lay down a few grenade rounds on the Tank to destroy it.
There will be 3 Tanks that spawn, I suggest you take down all 3 although you only need 2 for the objective.
Rampage: Rednecks
As this is a rampage, you need to complete all 3 objectives in one run to earn the gold medal!
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Get 45 Kills
You will be swarmed by Rednecks so take as many down as you can ensuring you handle at least 45 of them. Keep a good eye on the mini map as well as checking on top of the small building.
Given the numbers your health bar might struggle so go to cover for a few seconds to go from red to green then carry on laying down fire. - Get 3 Headshots
Aim at an enemy then push up on the right stick to aim for the head. Take down 3 enemies with headshots. - Destroy 2 Vehicles
Open your weapon wheel then select the grenades, there will be 4 vehicles that come for you in the mission. Destroy at least 2 of them.

Aim at one of the Vagos then push up on the right stick to aim at the head. Earn 6+ headshots before the timer runs out. - Destroy 2 Vehicles
In addition to the SMG you have, in your weapon wheel you have 25 grenades so you know what to do, use grenades to blow up at least 2 vehicles.
Target Practice
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- 2 For 1> Kill 2 coyotes with one shot
Wait for 2 coyotes to cross each others path where they are in line with each other allowing a round to pass through one then the other. This happens fairly regularly so be patient and aim for the body as it’s a larger target making it easier to hit. - Pop! Pop!> Shoot all 3 tires with an accuracy of at least 75%
Wait for a truck to come along where as they have larger tyres you’ll have an easier time shooting one. As soon as you shoot one tyre the truck will come to stop allowing you to shoot another tyre.
If the car stops square on and you can’t get a clean shot on one of the furthest tyres sprint to the left of the walkway you’re on the take the shot as soon as you can.
Please note you have to hit the actual tyre, hitting the wheel won’t count so zoom in and track the tyre with the scope and fire once you know you’ll make the shot. - Bad Signal> Shoot all 3 satellite dishes without missing
Working left to right the first satellite dish is on the ground, the next dish is on top of a building and is nearly side on and the the final satellite dish is facing away from you again on a building.
Use the red markers to help you find the dishes ensuring you take out all 3 using only one shot each.
The Civil Border Patrol
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Mariachi My Ride> Steal the band’s Tornado after stunning them
Once you have stopped the band (See Stop the Music) then go and jump in the driver’s seat of the band’s car after shooting both Mariachi with the stun gun. - Stop the Music> Stop the band within 40 seconds
As soon as you come out of the Jack Inn, have an Assault Rifle / SMG equipped and aim directly at the cars tyres, blow at least one where the band will stop.
Vinewood Souvenirs - Al Di Napoli
Mission attempts recommended> 3.
- Stalker> Stay close to Al Di Napoli throughout the chase
This will take a few attempts to learn the course he drives as well as a good amount of luck as you race to keep up with him.
The hardest section is in the hospital as there’s so much debris that goes everywhere it’s easier to get a chair / patient caught up in front of your car slowing you down. - Accident And Emergency> Avoid hitting anyone in the hospital
This is completely RNG as sometimes you’ll get through the hospital with no one in the way, other times there will be at least one person right in your path so take as many attempts as you need to until you complete this objective. - Not a Scratch> Complete with minimal damage to Nigel’s car
Another challenging objective, especially as you go through the hospital, one half speed crash and you’ll fail this, try and get through with no damage to minor cosmetic damage to stand a chance of passing this objective.
Sometimes it just won’t happen due to traffic / debris / pedestrians / patients whereas other times you’ll have a clear run giving you a better chance of minimising the damage to the car.
Vinewood Souvenirs - Kerry
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Hot on the Paws> Stay close to Dexie throughout chase

Mission attempts recommended> 2.
- Under Par> Collect the golf club within 30 seconds
This is tough to do. Get over to Mark and his body guards with a high powered / artillery weapon such as an Assault Shotgun / RPG / Minigun and clear them out then quickly grab the Golf Club. - Hole in One> Kill Mark with a headshot
Mark will try fleeing in a Golf cart. Chase him down then shoot him in the head which will be easiest if you can do so before the Cops show up as they can either kill you or ram your Golf cart affecting your aim. - FOUR!> Kill Mark and his 3 security guards
Get over to Mark and take down his 3 body guards as well as killing Mark to complete the objective.
Vinewood Souvenirs - The Last Act
Mission attempts recommended> 1.
- Skin of your Teeth> Exit the car just before the train hits
This objective feels somewhat broken as you need to get out of the car with split second accuracy just getting clear as the train hits the car. A split second to late and you’ll die, a split second to early and you’ll fail the objective making this feel somewhat obtuse.
Keep trying if you’re desperate for the gold medal where eventually the game will allow the pass. - Locomotivation> Kill Al Di Napoli using the train
Nice and easy, drive Al Di Napoli to the train tracks then get out allowing the train to kill him.
Vinwood Souvenirs - Tyler

Jump the wall then look to you right, crouch down and take out the Gardener with a stealth attack. - Pilferer> Steal the clothes without being detected
