GTA V Trophy Guide & Roadmap

NOTE: The PS3 version can no longer be platinumed because its Online Mode was shut down.

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.

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.

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” at the end of the game when offered the choice, then this trophy is no longer missable.

The required missions for this trophy 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.

There are a total of 6 hobbies and pastimes in GTA V. You only need one single gold medal per type of activity. All of them become available automatically by completing story missions.

There are the following hobbies:

1. Shooting Range
2. Flight School
3. Offroad Race
4. Sea Race
5. Street Race (just complete Hao’s side mission, it’s available from 8PM to 5AM)
6. Triathlon

The shooting range is the hardest for most players. You will have to get a certain amount of points within a time limit. Shoot quickly and always hit the yellow center area of the targets.
In the flight school you just need to beat a very simple time limit in the first tutorial. In races & triathlon you need to finish first to get a gold medal. Street races become available by beating Hao’s mission. However, the mission itself requires you to get a gold medal in a street race, so you won’t need to complete any further races for this trophy. Keep in mind that Hao’s mission only becomes available from 8pm – 5am while playing as Franklin and will be shown as a question mark on the map. For the other hobbies you can choose whatever character you like.

» GTA V All Letter Scrap Locations

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 the Right Stick will prove invaluable. You should also make liberal use of Trevor’s special “berserk” ability by pressing  +  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.

The 5 Rampages are unlocked in the following order:

Rampage #1

• Location: Sandy Shores
• Requirement: Neutralize 25 Rednecks in 2 minutes using grenades and the AK47.

Rampage #2

• Location: Rancho
• Requirement: Neutralize 30 Gang Members in 2 minutes using grenades and the SMG.

Rampage #3

• Location: Chamberlain Hills
• Requirement: Neutralize 30 Gang Members in 2 minutes using grenades and the AK47.

Rampage #4

• Location: Great Chaparral
• Requirement: Neutralize 35 Attacking Soldiers in 3 minutes using the grenade launcher and the AK47.

Rampage #5

• Location: Mirror Park
• Requirement: Neutralize 20 Killer Hipsters in 2 minutes using grenades and the sawn-off shotgun.

*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 can become 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.

This can only be done while playing as Michael! You must finish The Epsilon questline, which is the most time-consuming one in the game. It becomes available as soon as you unlock Michael as a playable character. See the step-by-step walkthrough below on how to trigger these missions.

You will also need to have at least $90,500 with Michael. Certain donations have to be made and an expensive outfit has to be bought.

However, completing all of these “The Truth” Epsilon missions can earn you up to $2,100,000. In the last quest you have the opportunity for a big cashout. So it’s well worth the time investment.

If you are specifically looking for the five Epsilon vehicle locations (as these are the hardest part of the quest line), jump to 2:31 in the video. All of these vehicles have fixed spawn points. They will spawn at the shown points every time!

Step 18 (10:54) – Go to the final Epsilon symbol (takes some time until it shows up on your map, go to sleep in your safehouse again).
Step 19 (11:05) – Finish the mission. To get $2,100,000 and a gold medal you must kill everyone and escape with your vehicle.

*MISSABLE*

This trophy is missable! Make sure to complete it before the last five story missions.

Before you can do this you must complete the story mission “Mr. Philips” to unlock Trevor as a playable character. After that you can call the other two characters via your in-game mobile phone. Pick them up with a car. The car must have 4 doors. Now 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. You might also want to upgrade your car with the bulletproof tires from the car repair shop to make this a little easier.

Sharks spawn randomly in deep water. Go out on the ocean (preferably with a boat or Jet Ski) and watch your mini-map until it turns all dark blue. Keep navigating the boat or swim around. After a while you should see a red dot on your radar. That’s the shark! Jump into the water and wait until it kills you. That may take some while, the shark doesn’t spot you right away. It doesn’t matter whether you stay still, swim around or dive. Once the shark kills you, the trophy will unlock. Sometimes the shark does even attack and destroy the boat which will also give you the trophy.

*MISSABLE*

This trophy is missable if you deliver all people from random events to their target destination instead of the Altruist Cult.

Only Trevor can deliver persons to the Altruist Cult. It won’t work with any other character.

You will have multiple opportunities to get this. All of the random hitchhiker events work (there are 4 of them). These events will occasionally show up as a blue dot on your mini-map when they are nearby. One hitchhiker can be found at the street on the southern foot of Mount Chiliad. The random events don’t always show up, but have fixed locations. If you cannot find the hitchhiker, simply drive in another direction for a quarter mile and return. The event will spawn sooner or later if you keep doing this.

Drive to the blue dot on the map and wait until the hitchhiker gets into your car. Instead of going to the target destination you must drive to the Altruist Cult. It’s marked with a big “A” on your map, on the west side of Mount Chiliad. This symbol will only show up once the hitchhiker is in the car. Deliver the person to the cannibals of the cult and you will get some money as well as the trophy.

There is an incredibly easy way to boost this trophy. After finishing the story you should have $20 million available. Open the internet browser, go to the “money and services” tab and open the LCN stock exchange website. Now invest all of your money in stocks and sell them again immediately! You won’t lose any money if you sell the stocks fast enough. You can also do this earlier with less money, but it will take longer.

To look up how much cash you have spent, go to “Cash” in the statistics of the pause menu.

A guaranteed method to earn this trophy is by exploiting Lester’s assassination missions with the method listed under  A 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.

• 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.

*MISSABLE*

This trophy is missable if you kill all bail bond targets instead of bringing them in alive! There are 4 bail bond targets, so you at least have multiple opportunities to get this.

This can only be done while playing as Trevor! After doing the story mission “Mr. Philips“, you can see an orange question mark in the north-east end of the desert. Go there to talk to Maude. This will unlock the bail bond side missions. Go back to your safehouse, take a nap and you should receive an email with details about your target. You need to head east, to the “Davis Quartz” area.

Once you locate the target, quickly shoot the tires of his car and when he tries to run away, hurt him. Do not kill him! To hurt him you can hit him with your car, but just a little bit. Or use the stun gun (can be bought at the gun shop). 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.

You first have to finish the main story mission “Father/Son” to unlock the car repair shop. You will also need quite a bit of money to fully upgrade a vehicle.

Not all vehicles can be modified! So open the internet browser on your in-game mobile phone and go to “southernsanandreassuperautos.com”. Buy the Weeny Issi for $18,000 and retrieve it from your garage.

Now enter the Los Santos Customs (car repair shop) and buy the following upgrades:

1. Armor – Armor Upgrade 20%
2. Brakes – Street Brakes
3. Brakes – Sport Brakes
4. Bumpers – Custom Front Splitter
5. Bumpers – Custom Rear Bumper
6. Engine – EMS Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
7. Exhaust – Dual Exit Exhaust
8. Hood – Vented Hood
9. Horn – Truck Horn
10. Lights – Xenon Lights
11. Plate – Blue on White 2 (buy what you don’t have)
12. Respray – Primary Color – Chrome
13. Repsray – Secondary Color – Chrome
14. Skirts – Custom Skirts
15. Suspension – Lowered Suspension
16. Transmission – Street Transmission
17. Turbo – Turbo Tuning
18. Wheels – Wheel Type – SUV – Benefactor
19. Wheels – Wheel Color – Black
20. Wheels – Wheel Accessories – Custom Tires
21. Wheels – Wheel Accessories – Bulletproof Tires
22. Wheels – Wheel Accessories – Black Tire Smoke
23. Windows – Light Smoke

Once you have all of this, leave the shop to unlock the trophy. It won’t unlock while you are in the shop!

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 the game’s release, almost all methods 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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5, provided you are at the requisite rank or above it, you will gain the appropriate trophies the next time you rank up or the next time you complete an activity such as a race. You might need to do this for every rank, for a maximum of three times.

1. Deathmatch
2. Team Deathmatch
3. Air Race
4. Land Race – Standard
5. Land Race – GTA
6. Land Race – Rally (either as Driver or Co-Driver).
7. Sea Race
8. Arm Wrestling – Minimum one round.
9. Darts – Minimum 1 leg.
10. Golf – Minimum 1 hole.
11. Tennis – Minimum 1 set.
12. Shooting Range – Win any one of a Cover Target, Random Target or Target Grid match.
13. Parachuting – Get the highest score and touch the ground first.
14. Complete a Gang Attack.
15. Complete all 10 waves of Survival Mode.

All of these 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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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 the Dialling Digits trophy if you haven’t got it already.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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 using a headset, but can also be done with and 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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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.

Here is a map of all Gang Attacks and the times at which they occur (credit to legndorock for the map):

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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 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 awards, and 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.

Heists

Since the addition of the Heists update, you can get 5 easy Platinum Medals just for finishing each heist.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

1. Buy a private dance at the Strip Club () – You don’t need to actually have the dance, just buy one for $40 then walk out.
2. Buy clothes – Completed as part of the tutorial.
3. Get a haircut.
4. Get a tattoo (On the torso, to be certain).
5. Have an Arm Wrestle – Minimum 1 round.
6. Hold up a Store ().
7. Play Darts () – Minimum 1 leg (the first to score 301).
8. Play Golf () – Minimum 1 hole.
9. Play Tennis () – Minimum 1 set.
10. Play the Shooting Range () – Play one challenge.

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.

Potential Bug & Fix: If you have done all activities but the trophy didn’t pop, try getting a different tattoo on the torso area and it should unlock.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

You can create or apply for a Crew of your choosing by linking your PSN ID to the Rockstar Social Club.

Autopop (Progress Transfer): If you import an existing character from PS4 to PS5 and have already completed this trophy, it will unlock automatically.

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 (Right Stick) 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.

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.
