GTA 5: How to Get Gold Medals in All Main Story Missions

When it first came out in 2013, GTA 5 featured some of the most extensive single-player modes in modern gaming history. It is not difficult to see why with over 60 unique missions to complete.

Casual gamers will not mind a bronze medal for completing most of these missions. On the other hand, hardcore Grand Theft Auto fans will do anything to finish every mission in-game with no less than a gold medal in hand.

If you fall under the latter group, then you’re probably wondering what it will take to finish gold in every mission in GTA 5. Worry not! We will outline everything you have to do to finish gold on every mission in GTA 5’s main story.
