Follow this guide to complete the 'Chop' mission in Grand Theft Auto V, including tips for the 'Not a Scratch', 'Homedog', and 'Advanced Reflexes' Gold Medal requirements.

Alright, let's get this 'Chop' mission done in Grand Theft Auto V. It's a pretty straightforward one, mostly about following Lamar and then using Chop to track down a guy named D. We'll also cover how to snag those Gold Medals, especially the tricky 'Not a Scratch' one.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to Franklin's place. Lamar will be there with Chop, ready to kick things off.
  2. 2
    After the initial chat, Lamar will want to grab a van. Just walk with him to collect it.
  3. 3
    Next up, follow the waypoint on your map. This will lead you to D, who's hiding out in an alleyway.
  4. 4
    Once that little scene wraps up, hop back in the van with Lamar and start chasing after D. He's on a motorcycle, so keep up!
  5. 5
    D's gonna ditch his bike, so when he falls off, grab Chop and give chase on foot. You'll be heading into the bus depot, which is also the trainyard.
  6. 6
    You'll lose D in the trainyard. This is where Chop comes in handy! Switch over to Chop's perspective (the game will prompt you) and let him sniff out D's hiding spot.
  7. 7
    Chop will lead you to a boxcar where D is hiding. Interact with it to open it up, and Chop will do his thing and take D down.
  8. 8
    With D secured, it's time to drive Lamar to the REC Centre. Just follow the waypoint, and once you drop Lamar off, the mission will be complete.
Tips for Gold Medals
  • Not a Scratch: This is probably the trickiest one. The van is pretty fragile. The only real time you need to push it is when you're chasing D on his motorcycle. Use Franklin's special ability (tap L3/LS when the meter is full) to help you make sharp turns and avoid hitting anything. You can handle a few minor bumps, but try to keep the van in good shape, especially when you're not actively chasing D – just drive carefully then.
  • Homedog: The game will tell you when to switch to Chop's perspective in the trainyard to find D. Make sure you stay in his view for at least 10 seconds. After that, you'll switch back to Franklin to check the boxcars, and you should have this requirement met.
  • Advanced Reflexes: Again, the bike chase is your best bet here. Use Franklin's special ability in short bursts whenever you need to make a quick maneuver or avoid a collision. If you're already using it to keep the van damage-free for the 'Not a Scratch' medal, you'll easily rack up the 7 seconds needed.
