Follow our step-by-step guide to successfully complete the Lamar Down mission in Grand Theft Auto V, including tips for Gold Medal requirements like headshots and accuracy.

Alright, so you've wrapped up the previous mission and it's time to get Lamar out of a jam. Head over to Franklin's place to kick things off.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, after the intro scene wraps up, you'll need to drive to the Sawmill. Just follow the GPS marker on your map.
  2. 2
    Once you arrive, the objective is to get into position. This means moving Franklin, Michael, and Trevor to the spots marked on your map. Clear out the area of any enemies you find – your main goal here is to rescue Lamar.
  3. 3
    After you've successfully rescued Lamar and he's with you, you'll need to escape. There will likely be a few more enemies hanging around, so take them out. Then, it's a straight shot to drive Lamar back to his home to wrap up the mission.
🏆 Gold Medal Requirements
✓Headshots: You need to bag 18 enemies with headshots. Plenty of bad guys will show up, so keep your aim steady.
✓Three Way: Make sure you get a kill with each of the three characters (Franklin, Michael, and Trevor). You should be used to switching between them by now, so just make sure you land a kill with each.
✓Accuracy: Finish the mission with at least 70 percent shooting accuracy. If your guns are upgraded and you're using Michael or Trevor's special abilities, this should be pretty manageable. Auto-aim can help here too!
✓Mission Time: Complete the entire mission within 13 minutes and 30 seconds. To nail this, you'll want to keep switching between characters to take advantage of their different vantage points and special abilities. Don't forget to skip cutscenes and use those boosted specials whenever you can!
Tips
  • Make sure you're utilizing all three characters for the best vantage points during the firefights.
  • Switching characters frequently is key to speeding up the mission and taking advantage of opportunities.
  • Don't forget to use your special abilities (Michael's slow-mo, Trevor's damage boost) as they can significantly help with accuracy and clearing enemies quickly.
