Lester needs three Gauntlets for the Big Score. Here’s where to find all three Gauntlets in GTA 5.

GTA 5: Gauntlet Mission Guide (Gold Medal)

The Gauntlet mission in GTA 5 is a series of heist setup mission that is given to Michael, Franklin, or Trevor in preparation for The Big Score. Lester asks the team to locate three Gauntlets and modify them at the nearest Los Santos Customs to suit the mission requirements.

We have outlined everything you need to know about the Gauntlet heist setup mission and how you can get a Gold Medal from completing the mission in GTA 5.

Gauntlet Synopsis

After securing the police van that contains spike stripes from the Davis Sheriff’s Station in the previous assignment, the protagonists (whichever protagonist you used to complete the previous mission) will receive an email from Lester saying he needs three modified Gauntlets for The Big Score.

Franklin, Michael, and Trevor can pick up and modify any random Gauntlet they find around town, but Lester will also give the protagonists three locations to make the search easier.

Franklin, Michael, or Trevor must then take each Gauntlet to Los Santos Customs for modifications and deliver them to a designated area.

The Gauntlet heist setup missions are very easy to do as Lester gives you the exact location of all three Gauntlets in his email, making the search much faster. The only challenge here is delivering the Gauntlets without any damage, which you can easily do by using Franklin’s special ability.
