Collectibles & 100% Checklist

Every required story mission from Prologue through The Big Score and the finale.

Track in-game: Pause menu → Stats → Missions. Or use the All Missions list on this site.

Optional assassinations and some heist branches do not add extra required missions beyond the 69.

All side mission chains marked with ? on the map for Michael, Franklin, and Trevor.

Track in-game: Pause menu → Stats → Strangers and Freaks. Each chain must be finished for the character who owns it.

Some chains lock out if you kill Trevor or Michael in the ending. Pick Deathwish to keep all three.

Win or complete every unlocked hobby: Darts, Golf, Tennis, all 3 Triathlons, and all 5 Street Races.

Track in-game: Pause menu → Stats → Hobbies and Pastimes. Each activity shows incomplete until you win or finish it.

Street races unlock gradually. Ccheck the map for red flag icons after story progress.

Complete 14 unique random world events (muggings, hitchhikers, robberies, etc.). Only 14 count toward 100%.

Track in-game: Pause menu → Stats → Random Events. Drive around Los Santos and Blaine County between missions.

Some events only appear once. If you ignore an event icon, it may not return. Sstop when you see a blue dot.

Land every marked ramp jump cleanly. A purple checkmark appears on the map after a successful jump.

Track in-game: Map shows purple stunt jump icons once discovered. Stats → Stunt Jumps shows your total.

You must land the vehicle intact in the marked landing zone. Motorcycles and cars both count.

Fly an aircraft or helicopter under 50 specific bridges and structures.

Track in-game: Stats → Under the Bridge. A brief slow-motion effect and chime play when you succeed.

Use a small helicopter (Buzzard is ideal). Fly low and slow, you do not need to scrape the bridge.

Collect glowing scrap pieces for the Omega side quest. Starts after the first part is found.

Track in-game: Stats → Spaceship Parts. Omega sends texts with hints as you collect more.

Many parts are underwater. Uuse a submersible or scuba gear from Ammu-Nation after the quest starts.

Pick up torn letter pieces scattered across the map. Completing all 50 unlocks a Strangers and Freaks mission.

Track in-game: Stats → Letter Scraps. Scraps glow white on the ground and chime when collected.

Use the in-game map collectible filter (if unlocked) or a completion map. Scraps are on foot only.

Find 10 hidden tract booklets. Only available after finishing the Epsilon mission chain with Michael.

Track in-game: Stats → Epsilon Tracts. Tracts appear as small glowing booklets, often near Epsilon-related locations.

Complete the full Epsilon side quest first. Ttracts do not count until the quest line is done.

Scan for barrels underwater with a submersible after meeting Abigail. Rewards cash per find.

Track in-game: Not in the 100% checklist. Abigail texts you progress. Requires purchasing a sub from the Sonar Collections Dock.

Good for extra money post-game, but skip if you only care about 100%.

Eat plants to temporarily become an animal. Added in later updates: fun, not required.

Track in-game: No stat tracking for 100%. Golden glow on the plant in the world.

Great for screenshots. Does not affect completion percentage.

Photograph special animal NPCs for Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill's Strangers and Freaks chain.

Track in-game: Part of their mission line, not the 100% collectible list. Finish their chain separately.

Use Trevor's Rage or a sniper rifle with the camera phone zoom for skittish targets.
