GTA V is no doubt one of the most highly anticipated games of all time, and certainly takes the cake this year. This week’s set of brand new screenshots set the internet ablaze, but none of them showed the action of GTA V off. Unless Rockstar has taken guns out, it’s likely we’ll be seeing that next.
The scale of the Los Santos map will no doubt provide some spectacular battles, so let’s create our own missions while we patiently wait for some new info (or a trailer please). This article is with the assumption GTA V will not include a co-op mode, and will be single player only in its main story mode. Fans were disappointed by GTA IV’s lack of wild, crazy and over the top events, but the Ballad of Gay Tony, my personal favourite GTA, remedied this greatly and paved the way for GTA V.
1. Jet Dogfights
Yes, the return of the fighter jet no doubt means we’ll be seeing more more fleshed out mechanics than San Andreas. SA’s Hydra featured a fairly flimsy lock on missile and a flare that was totally useless. The improved engine and hardware behind GTA V will give us a sight to behold. Missiles and guns going off, flares spraying around Battlefield 3 style, and planes crashing left right and centre.
Hopefully, the mission begins with us taking off and enjoying the sights, becomes a massive battle over the desert and ends with us parachuting to a safehouse below. Scripted AA guns would provide extra challenge to the mission, and make it even more interesting. If the map is so big, this would be an awesome site. It would be even more stressful if we had to take out a ground target as well.
2. Robbing the US Bank Tower
For those unfamiliar, the Bank Tower is the largest building in Los Angeles, and no doubt the largest in Los Santos. Imagine coming into the building, clearing it out with assault rifles then landing on the rooftop. Once on the roof, hook up and rappel down, shooting more targets on the way down. Bust through the window and start working your way through the interior of the building. Steal whatever it is you steal in the building, then you are given a choice. Either run for the chopper, which is being targeted by police, or go for the street.
Let’s say we go for the street. Upon emerging, we see the street covered in cops and SWAT, all prepared to raid the building. Panic breaks out as suddenly the robbers have met them head on. A massive, Four Leaf Clover style breaks out and we gradually work out way through the cops. A car chase into the countryside rounds out the mission.
Or if we go for the chopper. The player must occupy and RPG and shoot the police choppers down. One in the chopper, the gang starts being chased by more helicopters. We must now man a gun and take them out. The mission ends similarly depending on which way you go. The heli path ends in the chopper being attacked by a jet. We unlock a new weapon- a heat seaking RPG, like an San Andreas.
We all know what comes next.
3. A Stadium Shootout
If the protagonist is Albert de Silva, and if he does have a son, then there is an interesting set up to this mission. The Rush casting call says “Albert’s fat, FPS playing gamer son. Smokes a lot of weed, has anxiety issues and a card for a bad back, very soft, very opinionated. Into making racist comments while playing online.” Albert would, as a responsible parent, or “family man,” want his son to discover a new interest. So he might take him to a baseball game. Upon the game’s begin, the two have a conversation about life and what Albert does for a living. Albert states he would rather not talk about it, but just as he says that, we hear two distant shots. The crowd panics and leaves as the players run off the field, leaving only Albert, Kevin and a bunch of angry hostiles. Gameplay begins and Albert is forced to escort his son out of the stadium, while fending off the shooters. The intrigue in the mission is Kevin and Albert’s relationship, and the risk of one or both of them being killed.
This mission concept actually reminds me of a Chapter 3 in Max Payne 3. That mission was excellent.
4. A Nightclub Shootout
This one belongs on every list of GTA game. Sadly, only the Ballad of Gay Tony made this a reality. Clubs make for interesting sets because of the crowds and flashing lights. Mass confusion breaks out and you really have no idea whats going on until the crowd clears. The Bahama Mama’s club in TBOGT was awesome, and Max Payne 3 also had a memorable section. Especially with that window dive.
Maybe it doesn’t have to be shooting. A stealth kill section would awesome if stealth is present in GTAV. Taking guys out, roughing them up for info then scoping the sights with a drink would make us feel badass. A good old bathroom fist fight never hurt anyone, and neither does throwing drinks at people. Well, they hurt, but we don’t care. Unless they hurt us. That is bad.
And the final reason a nightclub section rocks is because of the music. Electronic music fills the room with bass and atmosphere, and gives surround owners bragging rights.
5. A Good Old Foot Chase
Nothing like a good on foot chase. Whether it chasing a gangster, running from the cops, nothing beats the thrill of the chase. Let’s hope Rockstar puts in some sort of advanced movement system to implement this sort of gameplay. We’ve seen this type of mission in games before, GTA or not. The
Shadow mission in GTA IV, given by Little Jacob, had Niko trail a rival drug dealer. However, he spots you need to run for your life to catch him. L.A. Noire had some thrilling sidewalk mayhem, which usually ended with a good old tackle.
On the theme of being chased, the excellent Mirror’s Edge was a game revolving around being chased. While GTA will never be Mirror’s Edge, that style of mission is excellent fun. Getting chased and knowing you’re seconds from death really adds adrenaline, and knowing GTA, it will probably involved a good car chase as well.
So there’s my list of dream GTA V missions. Grand Theft Auto games always missions that shine above the rest so hopefully GTA V is no different. Others, mainly the tutorial type tasks, drag and bore veteran players. Love or hate it? Leave feedback and your own ideas down below.

kind of cliche missions really, id like to see something a little more outside the box. How about if we go to prison for like 10 in game missions in the prison, and than have an epic breakout mission.
