Grand Theft Auto V

GTA 5 characters

GTA 5 was the first game in the series with three playable leads. Once all three are unlocked you can switch between Michael, Franklin and Trevor in free roam, and each has a special ability that slows or changes the action.

The three protagonists

Michael De Santa

Retired bank robber

Michael pulled off his last big job years ago, cut a deal with the FIB, and now lives under a new name in a Rockford Hills mansion with a family who can barely stand him. Money hasn't fixed his boredom, and it doesn't take much to pull him back in.

Special ability:
Slows time during gunfights
Home:
Rockford Hills, Los Santos

Franklin Clinton

Young repo man looking for a way up

Franklin repossesses cars for a shady dealership and wants something better than the small-time hustling around him. Meeting Michael gives him a way into bigger jobs. He's the steadiest of the three, often stuck between the other two.

Special ability:
Slows time while driving
Home:
Starts in Strawberry, later moves to Vinewood Hills

Trevor Philips

Michael's volatile old partner

Trevor was Michael's partner in the old days and believes he died. He now runs a small drug and gun business out of a trailer in Sandy Shores, and he is as unpredictable as he is loyal to the people he decides are family.

Special ability:
Rage mode: takes less damage and hits harder
Home:
Sandy Shores, Blaine County

GTA 5 Awesome grenade kill

The gameplay opens with the character in tactical gear, holding an assault rifle and using a brick wall for cover in an industrial alleyway. The character briefly moves out of cover before returning, scanning the parking lot and the area beneath the freeway overpass. A loud vehicle is heard approaching. The character accesses the weapon wheel, quickly equipping an explosive item (likely a Molotov or grenade). Staying behind cover, the character blind fires the explosive, which detonates off-screen, resulting in an immediate player elimination confirmed by the kill feed. Following the successful attack, the character runs forward out of the alleyway toward the main parking area as the clip concludes.

The gameplay opens at night near a coastal road, showing in-game chat messages. The camera focuses on the street and water, remaining stationary for the initial seconds. Severe graphical glitches begin to affect the visual display around the 0:40 mark, causing blocky, color-shifted distortion across the screen. The character enters a black Canis Mesa Off-Road vehicle and begins driving down the road. The player opens the large map overlay to check the route, displaying numerous points of interest across the city and surrounding areas. Driving continues through the Paleto Bay area, with the vehicle traversing winding roads surrounded by dense trees and hillside rock formations. The graphical distortion remains highly persistent, fluctuating in intensity as the vehicle moves. The driving path follows the coastal highway, passing over bridges and through tunnels near Lago Zancudo. Police vehicles are spotted approaching and passing the player, indicating a high wanted level or active pursuit. The driver attempts to navigate the curves and hills near Banham Canyon and Tonya Hills while avoiding collisions. The pursuit continues along the scenic but heavily glitched coastal road, approaching Pacific Bluffs before the video feed ends abruptly.

GTA 5 : Hitman (Agent 47) goes bounty hunting

The gameplay opens with the character waking up in an apartment bedroom. The character proceeds to change their clothing from casual wear to a black suit with a white shirt and red tie, utilizing the in-game wardrobe menu to select and save the formal outfit. The character then exits the apartment and enters a private, luxury garage containing multiple customized vehicles, selecting a vibrant green sports sedan. Driving through the streets of Paleto Bay, the character arrives at a barbershop. Inside, the character receives a 'Close Shave,' rendering them bald and transforming their look into that of a classic assassin or agent. After leaving the barbershop, the character briefly takes photos of the new look and their customized car. The action shifts as the character engages in spontaneous, stylized close-quarters combat on a sunny pier, eliminating multiple opponents in a melee sequence that earns a temporary wanted level. The character quickly uses Lester's services to remove the police wanted level. Switching to a sleek black electric sports car, the character drives at high speed through the city and into the Vinewood Hills, navigating traffic and off-road terrain. During this high-speed traversal, the character uses a sticky bomb to destroy a traffic light. The pursuit continues onto the beach where the sports car drives aggressively across the sand before flipping violently. The character escapes the crash and immediately takes down another player, claiming a significant bounty, and ranking up to 'Kingpin.' The character then calls Pegasus for a vehicle delivery and obtains a Buzzard Attack Chopper from Los Santos International Airport. Flying the helicopter over the Grand Senora Desert wind farm, the character completes another player bounty. The video transitions, showing the character inside a high-end apartment, pouring and drinking wine before walking to the bedroom and finally getting back into bed.

GTAV: Cayo Perico Heist - Elite Challenge ( Submarine Approach )

The mission begins with the character swimming underwater, utilizing scuba gear to infiltrate El Rubio's heavily guarded compound on Cayo Perico. The character approaches a metal drainage pipe entrance and uses a cutting tool to bypass the security grate. Inside the submerged tunnel, the character removes their scuba gear and emerges into a maintenance area of the compound, meeting a teammate. The team proceeds toward the central mansion, using suppressed weapons to silently eliminate patrolling guards who cannot be fooled by disguises. They navigate the outdoor courtyards and terraces, carefully avoiding cones of vision. The team enters the main building to locate and collect necessary security keycards, finding a keycard and a stash of cash inside a safe. After securing both dual keycards from guards and a safe, they head toward the underground vault. Inside the vault, they retrieve the primary target, Bearer Bonds, and attempt to escape, only to find the drainage pipe exit sealed. They quickly switch to securing secondary targets, cutting out two valuable paintings until their loot bags reach maximum capacity. The team escapes the vault and races back through the compound grounds, silently neutralizing the remaining guards. They open the main gate using the dual keycards and run toward the ocean cliffside. Jumping into the turbulent waves, they commandeer a waiting dinghy. El Rubio begins a search from his helicopter, forcing the team to speed away from the island and out into the open ocean to complete the heist.
