For completionists who want to fully complete GA 5, you need to collect every gold medal for each main mission. Not only that, but you’ll also want to track down additional gold medals for a number of the Stranger and Freaks missions to achieve this goal. To help you in this journey, you’ll find our GTA 5 story missions list and gold medal checklist. On this page: Priority heist missions will show for all characters involved regardless of who you are playing at the time. For each mission you complete, you will earn a medal for your efforts. Just completing a mission gets you a bronze medal by default. You earn silver medals by meeting a percentage of the objectives, but you must complete 100% of the objective checklist to earn a gold medal. If you fail to earn a gold medal, don’t worry - you can always go back and replay it as many times as you need to. If you’re looking for help with GTA 5 story missions, learn the different outcomes in The Jewel Store Job, The Merryweather Heist, The Big Score and final mission Deathwish. For hijinks out in the open world, there are Strangers and Freaks missions, the military base and spaceship parts to find. Want to explore more beyond the main game? Then play around with GTA 5 cheats, money and stock market and GTA 5 mods. Beyond that, there are heists - including The Jewel Store, The Big Score and The Merryweather Heist. Though these have multiple approaches, which affect how the heist plays out, they have no impact on the overall game. There are also slight differences in the Gold Medal objectives. Depending on the approach you choose, you will have to do some extra prep work before starting the heist. When recruiting crew members, it’s important to consider the approach you choose as certain crew members work well with specific approaches while being detrimental to others. Remember, it’s okay to choose an inexperienced crew member for some of the jobs. If the heist is successful, they will level up their skills, but their cut will remain the same. This means a crew member who only takes a 4% cut at the start will continue to take that same cut regardless of their skill level. Good luck collecting all the gold medals in GTA 5!
