Medals
After the player successfully completes a Story mission or a Strangers and Freaks mission, the player earns a medal based on completing secondary objectives. The player can upload their mission statistics to the Social Club. Recurring secondary objectives include completing the mission within a set time limit, attaining a minimum number of headshots, attaining a minimum shooting accuracy, completing the mission with minimal damage to the player's health or vehicle, and reaching the top speed of a vehicle; however, many objectives are specific to the mission. After completing a mission, it is unlocked for replay, allowing the player to improve his/her score. If the player fails a mission and invokes a checkpoint to continue, certain objectives will be voided for that playthrough. Earning a gold medal can be accomplished on multiple playthroughs. If the player earns 70 gold medals, then the "Solid Gold" achievement/trophy is unlocked.
- Bronze: Complete a mission without satisfying any secondary objectives.
- Silver: In missions with two or more secondary objectives, satisfy at least one objective.
- Gold: Satisfy all secondary objectives.
