GTA 5 Checklist

Reach 100% in GTA 5 Story Mode by checking off the required missions and activities below. Complete one heist approach and one ending; you do not need every optional activity or gold medal.

The progress bar tracks your checked tasks, so its percentage can differ from GTA 5’s weighted completion percentage. Check Stats > 100% Checklist in the pause menu to confirm what your save has registered. GTA Online progress is separate.

Some tasks group a mission chain or a choice of preparations. Introductory side-mission scenes and the 13 individual parachute jumps also make this board’s task count different from the game’s category totals. The Last One unlocks after 100% and is not required here.

The GTA 5 wiki links to more game details. Collection checkmarks are saved separately from this completion checklist.
