This guide and checklist shows how to reach 100% Completion in GTA V (Grand Theft Auto 5). Reaching 100% Completion unlocks the Career Criminal trophy & achievement.
Your total completion percentage can be tracked from the in-game statistics menu. For a more detailed tracker it’s recommended to link your profile to the Rockstar Social Club. The 100% Completion in GTA V doesn’t actually require doing everything. You only need Franklin’s 20 Stranger & Freaks Missions, any 14 Random Events (blue/red dots on minimap), half the Collectibles, only Bronze Medals in the pastimes, and own any 5 cash-generating properties. So overall it’s closer to 65% content required to fulfill the 100% completion requirement. Getting Gold Medals in Story Missions is also not needed for the 100% requirement.
This guide has been updated for the Enhanced Version on PC / PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Series S/X and is also still applicable to the Legacy version.
Story Missions (50%)
Finish all 69 Story Missions, including all 5 of Lester’s Assassination Contracts.
» GTA V Walkthrough – All Missions
Strangers and Freaks (10%)
Only 20 of the 58 Strangers and Freaks Missions are required for 100%, but they have to be the 20 specific available to Franklin and not any 20:
- Tonya (5 Towing missions)
- Beverley (5 Paparazzo missions)
- Hao (only 1 Shift Work mission)
- Barry (only Franklin’s 2 missions)
- Fanatic (only Franklin’s mission)
- Dom (4 Extreme missions)
- Omega (Collect and return all 50 Spaceships Parts to Omega)
- Dreyfuss (available after collecting all 50 Letter Scraps)
Hobbies and Pastimes (10%)
Only 42 of the 59 available Hobbies & Pastimes are required for 100%, but they have to be the following specific activities, not just any 42:
1) Get a private lap dance at the strip club:
The strip club can be found by the 
icon on the map. To get a private dance, walk around inside near the dancers until one of them approaches you for a dance. Agree to it and pay $40 to complete this task.
2) Shooting Range:
The shooting range can be found at the special Ammu-Nation stores on the map, marked by the 
icon. Go to the back of the store to the shooting range and certain challenges will be available. There are a total of 6 weapon types, each with 3 challenges. You must score at least a Bronze medal on each of the 18 challenges for 100%. They are:
- Hand Guns
- Submachine Guns
- Assault Rifles
- Shotguns
- Light Machine Guns
- Heavy
3) Street Races:
You are required to obtain at least a Bronze medal in each of the 5 Street Races around the map. These are only available to Franklin between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00 after you have completed the “Shift Work” Strangers & Freaks mission for Hao. The 
will only appear on the map during this time, so wait around or sleep if you need to advance time. Once you have completed one race, Hao will text you the location of the next one.
You race with the car you take with you, so for the best chance of winning take a fast sports car and perhaps even mod it if you want the extra edge. Franklin’s driving ability ( 
+ 
) will be invaluable as you never have to brake if you use it in small bursts to turn sharp corners.
The 5 races are:
- South Los Santos (The “Shift Work” Strangers & Freaks mission)
- City Circuit
- Airport
- Freeway
- Vespucci Canals
4) Off-Road Races:
You are required to obtain at least a Bronze medal in each of the 6 Off-Road Races around the map, found by the 
icon. All races are available from the start of the game, but you must score a medal in one race to unlock the next one.
Again you can use Franklin’s driving ability ( + ) to make this easier.
The 6 Off-Road races are:
- Canyon Cliffs
- Ridge Run
- Mineward Spiral
- Valley Trail
- Lakeside
- Eco Friendly
5) Sea Races:
You are required to obtain at least a Bronze medal in each of the 4 Sea Races around the map. They can be found at the locations with the 
icon on the map and are located after completing the “Hood Safari” story mission.
The 4 races are:
- East Coast
- North East Coast
- Raton Canyon
- Los Santos
6) Win 1 Match of Tennis:
For this requirement, you have to win a single match of tennis. It doesn’t matter how long the match is, so if you want it done quickly you can set the match to just one game. However, if you set a match to be a set long (for example), you have to win the whole set and you can’t just quit after one game. Tennis courts are represented by the 
icon on the map. The easiest location to earn this is on the court around the back of Michael’s house in Vinewood.
7) Play 9 holes of Golf and finish on Even or Under Par:
The Los Santos Golf Course is represented on the map with a 
icon.
Just as the requirement says, you need to finish a round of golf (9 holes in this game) with a score “Under Par” or “Even Par“. If you have done this step correctly, at the end of your round it will say “Good Game!” followed by your score. If you finish over par, you will need to play golf again as it will not count towards your completion %.
The “Par” score is the average number of shots you should take to finish a hole and there are Par 3, 4 and 5 holes on the course depending on the length of the hole. Finishing a hole 2 shots under Par is an “Eagle”, 1 shot under Par is a “Birdie”, a Par score is obviously “Par”, one shot over Par is a “Bogey”, then Double Bogey, Triple Bogey etc.
Golf is actually pretty easy on this game, and the higher your strength stat, the further you can hit the ball. Press 
to preview your shot, Left Stick to change your club and then hold 
until the cursor goes into the yellow area, before quickly pressing 
to swing. Hold 
and the Left Stick in any direction to apply spin when the ball is in the air.
8) Win at Darts:
You can play darts in various bars around the map. Locations where darts is available are shown by a 
icon on the map.
You can set the match length to just “1 leg”, so this should take less than a minute. To win, you must get down to 0 from 301, so you should aim for the small red section halfway up the “20” for 60 points. You need to finish on a double (the red or green section furthest away from the bullseye) or the bullseye to win. Aim the cursor with the Left Stick and then press to throw your dart. You can press once per leg to focus the crosshairs, so the best advice is to save this for your final throw for a double to increase your chances of hitting it.
9) Triathlon Races:
You are required to obtain at least a Bronze medal in each of the 3 Triathlon Races around the map. Triathlon Races contain a running, cycling and swimming component, so a character with a maxed stamina stat should be used in these races. They can be found by the 
icon.
The 3 races are:
- Vespucci Canals
- Alamo Sea
- Coyote Cross Country
The first two triathlon events should only take a maximum of 5 minutes, but “Coyote Cross Country” will take around half an hour. It’s extremely repetitive and tedious, so it is very important that you don’t get disqualified by barging into another competitor, leaving the confines of the course or getting a Wanted level and having to retry. Also bear in mind that it is almost guaranteed that other competitors will be ahead of you by the end of the second section (cycling), but it is vitally important not to give up or retry as the third section (running) is when their stamina really catches up with them, allowing you to breeze past. You can also pause the game at any time and resume after a short break if you start getting thumb cramps or strain due to mashing .
10) Flight School:
You are required to obtain at least a Bronze medal in each of the 12 Flight School lessons. The Flight School can be found by the 
icon on the map, which is in Los Santos International Airport. These 12 lessons act as a tutorial to flying, and are as follows:
- Training Take Off
- Runway Landing
- Inverted Flight
- Knife Flight
- Flat Hatting
- Touch Down
- Loop The Loop
- Helicopter Course
- Helicopter Speed Run
- Skydiving
- Drop Zone
- Earn Your Wings
11) Parachuting:
You must complete all 13 Base and Heli Jumps to fulfil this requirement. Parachute jump locations can be found by the 
icon on the map.
Random Events (15%)

Random Events contribute 15% towards 100% Completion. There are a total of 57, but only 14 are required to be completed for 100%. They are randomly activated whilst driving or running around Los Santos or Blaine County and are shown by either a blue dot on the mini-map (representing someone who needs help) or a red dot (an enemy or vehicle that needs stopping).

6) Purchase any 5 properties
Purchasable properties are dotted around the map and are shown by a 
icon. They can be bought by approaching the “Purchase” sign outside the property as long as you have sufficient funds. The description is slightly misleading, as only income-generating properties count. Here is a complete list of properties (along with their price, who can buy them and their location) that count towards this requirement. Those highlighted in red are properties you need to purchase for other trophies:
- Car Scrapyard ($275,000 – all characters) – El Burro Heights

All’s Fare in Love and War)7) Purchase any vehicle from a website
With any character, press 
and select “Internet” from your phone. Go to”Travel and Transport” and select any of the vehicle dealerships and purchase a vehicle to complete this requirement. The cheapest option is to choose the 5th dealership down, named Pedal and Metal Cycles, and buy the BMX for $500.
8) Walk and play “fetch” with Chop
Chop is Franklin’s dog, so when controlling Franklin go to Franklin’s house and approach the bone icon on the map, which is Chop. Press 
next to him and then 
to take him on a walk. Whilst walking him, hold 
to access your weapon wheel and then choose the ball to equip it. Throw it with to play “fetch” with the ball, and when Chop finds it and brings it back, this requirement will be completed.
9) Complete a Booty Call
For this, you will need to fill the “like” meter of a dancer from the strip club to entice her into taking you back home with her. The quicker but extremely expensive way is to throw money at one when she is dancing on the rails, but the cheaper and more fun method is to get a girl to offer you a private dance for $40. Keep flirting with her with and then touch her by holding when the bouncer walks away from the door. It will probably take two whole dances to fill the meter completely using this method. Once the meter is maxed out, the dancer will ask if you want to go back to her place. Exit the strip club and go around to the back entrance. Drive her to her house and a short cutscene will play, after which you will have finished this requirement.
Not all dancers will offer you the opportunity to take them home, so try and find the one called “Sapphire”, as she is confirmed as a possibility for a booty call.
10) Hire a prostitute
Prostitutes can only be found in specific places. The easiest place is in the La Puerta district just north of the Los Santos International Airport below the 4-lane freeway. Simply go here at night time and look for a prostitute on the street. Make sure you are in a car and beep your horn by pressing , and when she gets into your car, drive to somewhere secluded. You can either get a $50, $70 or $100 service, any will count for the requirement to be fulfilled.
11) Hold up a store
The stores required for this activity are specific, and there are only 19 of them in the game. This won’t work in Ammu-Nation, barber or tattoo shops. You have to enter the shop and hold up the shopkeeper by aiming a weapon at them. Wait for him or her to empty the till and hand you cash, at which point this requirement will be complete. You don’t have to exit the shop or evade the police.
The following stores are the only ones eligible for this requirement:
- 24/7 Supermarket – Innocence Boulevard, Strawberry
- 24/7 Supermarket – Niland Avenue, Sandy Shores
- 24/7 Supermarket – Senora Freeway, Grand Senora Desert

12) Visit the cinema
There are 3 cinemas to visit on the map, designated by a 
icon. Simply visit and pay to watch a movie. You don’t have to watch a whole movie, you can quit out at any time and the requirement is done.
13) 4 Friend Activities (go to the Cinema, play Darts, go to the Strip Club, visit a Bar)
Simply call up any of your friends with any character by pressing to access your phone and then selecting “Contacts”. It’s best to call Lamar as Franklin as he almost always wants to hang out. When the friend accepts, drive to pick them up and then take them to any of the four yellow map icons which indicate activities. Once you participate in an activity, you can go and do another. This way, you can knock all four out in one session before dropping the friend back home.
This is everything you need for 100% Completion in GTA V (Grand Theft Auto 5). For any trophy/achievement cleanup refer to the GTA V Trophy Guide & Roadmap.
