Missions in GTA San Andreas: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:33, 29 June 2019

This is a comprehensive list of story missions in the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

There are 104 missions in total in GTA San Andreas. However, among them, two optional storyline mission strands exist, one each in San Fierro and Las Venturas. Although they are not necessary, it is important to complete them both for a sense of completion of the storyline, as well as statistical 100% completion.

The Introduction

The Introduction is a roughly twenty minute video, created with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' video engine, that details how events in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City led to events in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was available with the North American PS2 Special Edition of GTA San Andreas or the official soundtrack double CD. It is set in early 1992. The video ends directly at the beginning of GTA San Andreas, when protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson arrives in San Andreas after hearing the news that his mom has died.

Los Santos missions

Protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson returns to his hometown of Los Santos and needs to re-establish himself in his former neighborhood. Missions in this city involve Carl's attempt to regain respect within the Grove Street Families and face the obstacles confronting his family. Many of these missions have Carl as the driver with additional help as required.

There are 27 missions in the main thread in Los Santos, including an introductory mini-game mission which leads the player to the first official mission.

Introductory missions

These missions slowly introduce you to the essentials of the game and the main characters you will encounter many times throughout the story. This section of the story is where you will receive some of the most important benefits/unlocks.
