The Contract[]
By 2021, Franklin has been contacted by DJ Pooh about an exciting potential client: his close friend Dr. Dre, whose phone containing unreleased music has been stolen one year ago just before he was to take a flight to Cayo Perico to host a beach party. F. Clinton and Partner is subsequently hired by Dre to retrieve the unreleased music for the client.
Functionality[]
The player accesses their office computer to run their side of the business. Franklin can also be called via Mobile Phone to provide random jobs.
Security Contracts[]
Main article: Security Contracts
Now like I said before, I'm a hustler who made it. I got in with a crew of dudes with some real experience. They taught me how to operate on a serious level, no more hood shit for me, you know what I'm sayin'? That's why we got a setup like this.
'Ey, look, click on the Security Contract page and check that shit out.”
Three random contracts are provided and these refresh every time the player logs into the computer. Each contract can have a different level of difficulty and the payments are scaled accordingly.
- Contract Types
- Security Contract: Asset Protection
- Security Contract: Gang Termination
- Security Contract: Liquidize Assets
- Security Contract: Recover Valuables
- Security Contract: Rescue Operation
- Security Contract: Vehicle Recovery
VIP Contract[]
Main article: The Contract: Dr. Dre
After completing their first security contract, Franklin will call the player to progress the VIP Contract story. Players must complete On Course to unlock the VIP Contract.
Payphone Hits[]
Main article: Payphone Hits
Like the other legitimate businesses, there is an illegitimate side line to the Agency. After completing three Security Contracts, Franklin now facilitates assassinations and stock manipulation for clients much like Lester's Assassinations in Grand Theft Auto V, except the player now performs the assassinations and is paid a flat fee rather than using the stock market themselves. Fees paid include bonuses if the assassination is completed in the prescribed manner, but the player is free to kill the target however they please.
Imani Tech[]
With the optional Vehicle Workshop, the player is able to customize a selection of vehicles with Imani Tech designed by the business tech specialist Imani.
Tech[]
Imani Tech[]
There are two options available as advertised Imani Tech: the Remote Control Unit and the Missile Lock-On Jammer. The player may only have one of these options equipped at a time. If one option is equipped and another is purchased and selected, the functionality will swap to the new option, though a bug may occur where the Imani Tech option swaps to its previously equipped option on its own after entering a new session.
- Remote Control Unit
- Cost: $235,000
- Take control of your Personal Vehicle remotely.
- Allows the player to remotely drive their vehicle, similar to the RC Bandito and Invade and Persuade Tank. The option can be accessed through the Interaction Menu only if the eligible vehicle is currently set as the player's Personal Vehicle and is externally parked (not within Garages or property parking spaces such as the Bunker).
- Visibility is limited when remotely driving the vehicle, with the camera locked to a first-person perspective and purely forward facing, with no option to rotate the camera or look through the rear windshield.
- The player is also given access to the Primary Weapon on the vehicle (if they have been purchased in the Agency Workshop), as well as a Detonate option, which will allow the player to remotely detonate the vehicle with the hold of a button.
- Destruction of the vehicle through any means cuts off the feed and returns to the player view, though oddly often not in the place they initiated the Remote Control Vehicle view.
- Missile Lock-On Jammer
- Cost: $400,000
- Protects your Personal Vehicle from homing missile lock-on.
- This option fully disables lock-on functionality from all vehicles with Homing Missile options.
Other[]
These options are also only available in the Agency Workshop, but may be equipped alongside regular Imani Tech upgrades:
- Armor Plating
- Cost: $150,000
- Additional protection and resistance to explosive damage.
- With 100% Armor upgrade and a player inside, cars are able to withstand 11 homing missiles or three RPGs, and electric-powered vehicles can also take 11 RPGs.
- Primary Weapons
- Cost: $297,000
- Provides front-mounted guns to the front of the vehicle, often integrated into the vehicle's existing lighting/reflector housing. Name varies vehicle to vehicle.
- Slick Proximity Mine
- Cost: $135,000
- Provides the option to drop a Slick Proximity Mine behind the vehicle.
- Any vehicle that drives over this mine will lose all control of steering and brakes for a short period of time.
