Follow our step-by-step guide to ace the Hood Safari mission in Grand Theft Auto V, including tips for Gold Medal requirements like time, accuracy, and headshots.

Alright, let's get this Hood Safari mission done in Grand Theft Auto V. It's pretty straightforward, but if you're aiming for that Gold Medal, we'll need to be quick and precise. Here's how to nail it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to Franklin's crib to kick things off.
  2. 2
    Once the intro scene wraps up, hop in a ride and cruise over to Grove Street. You'll meet up with Lamar, and you'll need to follow him to a house.
  3. 3
    Things go south fast – the deal is a bust! You'll have to take out the gang that shows up. Use the cars and bins around you for cover, then follow Lamar down to the left where some jetskis are waiting.
  4. 4
    Time to bail! Follow Lamar out into the ocean on the jetskis. You'll get a wanted level, so you'll need to lose the cops to wrap up the mission.
Tips for Gold Medal
  • Mission Time (Complete within 07:00): You gotta be ruthless and fast. Aim for headshots to rack up kills quickly. Using Trevor's special ability can really speed things up, especially when dealing with groups of enemies. Honestly, using Trevor for most of this mission is a solid plan since he's great at clearing out crowds.
  • Accuracy (At least 70 percent): Make sure to use auto-aim when you can. Weapons with scopes or improved accuracy are your friends here. Try to get up close and personal, moving from cover to cover to get better shooting angles. Don't rush your shots; take a moment to line them up.
  • Headshots (Kill 12 enemies with headshots): There are plenty of enemies to go around, so getting 12 headshots shouldn't be too tough if you're already comfortable with them. Just keep that aim steady!
