Hi everyone, please help us by filling out this form!
We are determining how players best define and/or differentiate the terms "game modes", "missions" and "activities". This will be used to help us develop a clear and logical category tree to house articles related to this type of content.
This page lists all of the main missions in Grand Theft Auto Online, referred to in-game as "Contact Missions".
Many missions are available simultaneously from multiple characters, so this list does not reflect any required chronological order of completion. New missions open up as the playerranks up, and an NPC's text message will invite the player to an available mission sometime after they've unlocked it. Completing missions rewards the player with job points (JP), money ($), and reputation (RP).
Missions can be replayed freely. To replay a specific mission, the player can either wait for its text message, call the NPC who offers the mission and select "Request Job", or (as of Title Update 1.10) select the mission directly from the pause menu. In any case, the player can only personally start missions for which they've reached the appropriate rank. However, the player can be invited to missions that they can't start themselves by higher ranking players who have unlocked those missions. If the player attempts to accept a mission invitation while holding a wanted level, they will be asked to remove it for a small fee ($200 per wanted star) before being allowed to join.
Mission payouts have several determining factors. The player will receive double the standard amount of money the first time that they complete a mission at the proper rank. Completion on Normal difficulty earns a 25% RP and cash bonus for all participants. Completion on Hard difficulty earns a 50% RP and cash bonus for all participants. Completion by at least two players in the same crew rewards a 20% RP bonus to each of those participating crew mates. Completion by at least two players on each other's friends lists rewards a 10% RP bonus to each of those participating friends. Completion by at least two players in general, or a full lobby, also rewards an RP bonus to all participants. As of Title Update 1.07, completion with the mission session's targeting mode set to "Free Aim" earns a 25% RP and cash bonus for all participants. As of Title Update 1.13, if the player has built up their mental statestatistic, spending time completing missions will help to reduce it.
