Grand Theft Auto 5: How to Not Totally Wreck Your First Car Mission (Unless You're Going For That Chaotic Gold)
Ah, GTA 5. The land of sunshine, sandy beaches, and casually borrowing someone else's wheels. But borrowing in this game can get a little... messy, especially during your first car retrieval mission. Don't worry, my fellow virtual criminals, I've been there. I've accidentally set off car alarms with my face while trying to hotwire a ride. We've all been there.
This handy guide will walk you through the not-so-subtle art of relieving a rich jerk of their precious automobile, without attracting the unwanted attention of the entire Los Angeles Police Department (unless, again, that's your thing).
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.

| How To Get The Car In GTA 5 Mission |
Step 1: Suit Up (But Maybe Not Literally)
There's a reason these missions are called "Grand Theft Auto," not "Grand Theft Tuxedo." Ditch the fancy threads, this ain't a date. Throw on some comfy clothes that won't snag on barbed wire fences during your high-speed getaway. Flip-flops are strictly prohibited. Trust me.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Step 2: Scope Out the Situation (Like a Boss... Who Doesn't Know How to Use a Telescope)
Alright James Bond, put down the spork you're using for recon (seriously, how did you even get in there?). Just use the handy dandy map on your phone. See that yellow marker? That's your target's crib. Sneak a peek from a safe distance to get a lay of the land. Are there guard dogs? Security cameras? A grumpy gardener with a rake? (Those guys can be surprisingly fierce.)
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Step 3: The Grand Theft Auto-mobile Approach (Without the Grand Theft Part... Yet)
Okay, so here's the tricky bit. You need to get to that car without everyone freaking out. There are a few options, depending on your risk tolerance (and how much you enjoy explosions):
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.

- The Ninja: This is the silent but deadly approach. Creep around shadows, take out any pesky guard dogs with a well-placed tranq dart, and hotwire that beauty like a total pro. Bonus points for using night vision goggles and looking utterly badass.
- The Distraction: Ever heard of a good ol' fashioned firework? Toss one over a fence, create a diversion, and walt right in like you own the place. Just be prepared for a potential police chase afterwards.
- The Brute Force: Look, subtlety isn't everyone's strong suit. If you like things loud and messy, just barge in there, guns blazing (figuratively, unless you really want a five-star wanted level). Just remember, the car might have a few bullet holes in it afterwards.
Step 4: The Great Escape (Because Every Good Heist Needs One)
You've got the car, congrats! Now it's time to ditch those pesky pursuers (if you managed to attract any). Here are your getaway driver options:
- The Dukes of Hazzard: Find a nice ramp and launch that car into the stratosphere (hopefully you land somewhere safe-ish).
- The Lewis Hamilton: Channel your inner F1 driver and weave through traffic like a boss. Just don't sideswipe any civilians on your way out.
- The Houdini: Lose the cops in the labyrinthine alleyways of Los Santos. They'll never find you... probably.
Step 5: Victory Lap (Optional, But Highly Recommended)
You did it! You stole a car without (too much) mayhem. Now it's time to celebrate. Cruise down the beach with the radio blaring, bask in the glory of your (questionable) achievement. Just remember, with great car comes great responsibility. Don't go wrecking it Ralph style on your first joyride.
There you have it! A (hopefully) helpful guide to not completely bombing your first car mission in GTA 5. Now go forth and steal... responsibly-ish.
