'''Missions''' are storyline objective tasks given to the [[protagonist]] in the [[Grand Theft Auto series]] by other characters in order to further advance the storyline. Missions act as a modern version of levels in video games, and the equivalent of quests in role-playing games. Missions are required unless the player ''wants'' to see mission markers, phone calls, and mission prompts all the time. | |||

Missions are usually given to the protagonist by contacts such as gang leaders, friends, or basically anyone in need of help in exchange for pay, either directly in person or through mediums such as phone calls, or [[email|e-mails]]. However some missions are taken on by the protagonist themselves in response to a changing situation or sudden event. | Missions are usually given to the [[protagonist]] by contacts such as gang leaders, friends, or basically anyone in need of help in exchange for pay, either directly in person or through mediums such as [[Cell Phone|phone calls]], or [[email|e-mails]].

Missions make up the most part of [[100%|100% completion]] of the game, not least because they introduce and encapsulate many aspects of the game, including controls, vehicles, locations, weapons, food, clothing etc. 100% completion of the game is entirely optional, and only used as a personal statistic. However, most people prefer to complete the story missions so they can advance the storyline and see what happens next. | Missions make up the most part of [[100%|100% completion]] of the game, not least because they introduce and encapsulate many aspects of the game, including controls, vehicles, locations, weapons, food, clothing etc. 100% completion of the game is entirely optional, and only used as a personal statistic.
