Learn how to steal, upgrade, and hide the Gauntlet cars for the 'Gauntlet 1-3' mission in Grand Theft Auto V. Get tips for Gold Medals like 'Not A Scratch' and 'Pimped Out'.

Alright, so you've got the Police Van from the heist setup, and now you need to get your hands on some specific cars for this mission: the Gauntlets. Keep an eye on your email; it'll tell you where to find them. Once you've nabbed one, your next big step is to take it to Los Santos Customs for some serious upgrades. After that, you'll need to stash it away safely. You'll have to repeat this process for two more Gauntlets to wrap up the mission.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, wait for that email to pop up on your phone. It's got the locations of the Gauntlets you need. Once you get it, head out and steal one of these cars.
  2. 2
    This is crucial for one of the Gold Medals: take the Gauntlet you just stole straight to LA Customs. You'll want to fully upgrade it. This means getting the best engine, brakes, transmission, and anything else you can slap on it.
  3. 3
    After you've pimped out the Gauntlet, you need to hide it. Find a safe spot, like your garage or a lock-up, and store it there. You'll need to do this whole song and dance – steal, upgrade, hide – for two more Gauntlets to complete the mission objectives.
Tips for Gold Medals
  • Mopped: This one's pretty straightforward. Just make sure you deliver the exact Gauntlet that's pictured in the email you receive.
  • Not A Scratch: You only need to deliver ONE of the Gauntlets without any damage. So, focus on driving carefully for just one of them. Franklin's special ability can be a lifesaver here if things get hairy; use it to avoid any crashes or bumps.
  • Pimped Out: To snag this medal, you'll need to spend a total of $17,000 on upgrades across the Gauntlets. Just go all out at LA Customs – buy the best of everything. You'll easily hit this amount if you're fully upgrading them.
