GTA 5 How to Get 100 Gold Medals All Missions Checklist

Understanding GTA 5 100 gold medals all missions in GTA 5

GTA 5 100 gold medals all missions is single-player content, which means it is fixed, patch-proof and entirely under your control. The only variables are mission order, approach choices and the gold-medal requirements.

Rockstar patches change small details every few months, so a method that worked last year can quietly stop working - we re-test after each title update.

Checklist before you begin

What GTA 5 100 gold medals all missions assumes you already have:

• Basic controls down: driving, aiming and the weapon wheel
• Enough in-game cash for any purchases mentioned below
• Around 30-60 minutes of uninterrupted time for the first run
• A free save slot, or an invite-only session if you are online

How to do it

Numbered because the order is the point:

1. Check your version first. Open the pause menu and note whether you are on the Legacy or Enhanced build, because menus and unlocks differ.
2. Work through the main sequence in order; skipping ahead is the most common reason it fails.
3. Save or return to a safehouse once the first milestone is done so progress is locked in.
4. Once finished, move straight to the follow-up activities linked in this guide, because they build on what you just unlocked.

Where a step depends on your platform, the platform notes below spell out the difference.

A common follow-up is GTA 5 100 percent; it uses the same session setup.

If something breaks

When GTA 5 100 gold medals all missions does not behave, it is usually one of these:

Wrong button prompts

Check whether your controller layout is set to Standard or Alternate under Settings, Controls.

Progress reset after a crash

Autosave only fires at mission ends; use manual saves at safehouses during long sequences.

The trigger does not appear

Leave the area completely, wait an in-game day and return. Many triggers need the area to reload.

This is where GTA 5 spaceship parts locations starts to matter - that guide has the detail.
