Deleted Missions

Deleted Missions are missions that were cut before a game's release by developers.

There are various reasons for why missions get cut during development. Most commonly, a mission is cut if script writers believe that it does not fit the storyline properly at that particular moment. Usually, missions that are cut according to these conditions are incomplete, featuring only audio or a cutscene. Other times, the missions may be severely flawed and plagued with bugs and errors during development, so they are abandoned. Sometimes, missions contain illegal or inappropriate features, so they are cut before release.

The following page lists all the missions that have been deleted in every Grand Theft Auto game released. The list does not include missions that have been modified or changed in the final version.

Grand Theft Auto 2
There was meant to be another Redneck mission, involving the stealing of a Jeep, because Pork Poker has a Jeep and Billy Bob Bean is jealous and wants one also, so they can have a party.
 * Unnamed Rednecks mission

Grand Theft Auto III
Five unnamed missions given by a character named Darkel were cut from the game, along with the character. Some of his missions have been "recycled" with slightly different objectives, like I Scream, You Scream and Trial By Fire from El Burro.
 * Five unnamed missions

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
After completing all the asset missions, the player was supposed to get a phone call from a character called Mr. Moffat who used a payphone to contact Tommy. He mentioned that he escaped the coop again but it won't be long until 'they' track him down. After a short conversion Tommy decided to go take a look for Moffat and help him out. This mission's script can still be found in game files. It was probably replaced by No Escape?.
 * Unnamed Mr. Moffat mission

At an unknown point in the storyline, the player was supposed to get a phone call from Avery Carrington. He mentioned that a representative of him needed chaperoning out to the Gator Keys as he was after some land out that way. The player was supposed to pick the representative up at Avery's own building site and make sure to get him there unharmed.
 * Chaperone...

At an unknown point during the film studio missions, the player was supposed to get a phone call from Steve Scott. He mentioned that they needed a car chase scene but that their budget couldn't stretch around to it. The player was supposed to pick up a car left by Steve at the airport and perform an unknown task. There is a similar studio mission for Reni in GTA Vice City Stories involving a car stunt scene being filmed.
 * Unnamed film studio mission

There was going to be a mission given by Sonny Forelli. It had something to do with Apartment 3c. It was to be the only mission given to the protagonist Tommy by Sonny. It is possible that the mission involved buying Apartment 3C, since it was going to be a Safe House.
 * 3C mission

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
In this mission, the player would be instructed to get a reasonably nice car and drive it over to Cesar's house. Once there, Cesar was going to tune it up for Carl Johnson and socialize at the same time. However, the car gets towed before they can do anything so CJ and Cesar head over to the police station to retrieve it from the impound lot. If enabled using mods, this mission is severely flawed, and is missing the pre-mission and post-mission cutscenes, suggesting that it was abandoned very early on during development.
 * Impounded

A mission for Cesar Vialpando that would take place after Impounded.
 * Holed Up

Originally, Doberman was a mission for C.R.A.S.H., where Carl has to stop Poncho from being taken into custody and grab "evidence" before the cops collect it.
 * Doberman

It likely would have involved CJ controlling an RC Bandit to destroy some miniature tanks which Berkley had deployed against Zero and facing a trap set by Berkley. Not much else is known about the mission.
 * Tanked Up

A mission for Wang cars asset in which the player had to tow a car left on the train tracks before the train crashes into it.
 * Roadside Assistance

Another mission that was supposedly given by The Truth, where he is holed up in Bayside, for entering Area 69 territory.
 * The Truth is Out There

The mission was supposed to find the Russian who knows where Big Smoke is hiding and then needs to take over some Los Santos Vagos territories in order to gain access to Big Smoke's palace.
 * All-Terrain Take Down

Grand Theft Auto IV
This is the beta name of the mission Concrete Jungle, given by Little Jacob.
 * Jacob's Ladder

GXT lines seemingly describe an earlier version of Ruff Rider. The mission would involve going to and entering the Videogeddon arcade, going downstairs to enter the arcade's office, finding Jayvon Simson and Dwayne's ex-girlfriend Bernice (who is named Cherise Glover in the final game), taking Bernice with you, and then fleeing the arcade. The mission would also have you engage in combat with gang members inside the arcade throughout the mission.
 * Unknown Dwayne Forge mission

Grand Theft Auto V

 * Unnamed heist mission

A cut mission for Solomon Richards, it is unknown what was supposed to be done in this mission as there is no description. As the name suggests, it would most likely involve Michael having to secure or defend the film studio in some way.
 * Save Film Studio

A mission where Michael De Santa has to steal a jet for Solomon Richards.
 * Harrier

A heist where Michael and Trevor would steal Aztec artifacts, Martin Madrazo's prized horse and kidnap his wife Patricia.
