Random Event Completion Checklist

Achieving 100% completion in Grand Theft Auto V requires successfully completing all 60 unique Random Events scattered across Los Santos and Blaine County. While many are straightforward, some require specific actions, character choices, or even a bit of luck to trigger. This comprehensive checklist will guide you through each event, ensuring you don't miss a single one.

General Tips for Random Events:

Character Specificity: Some events are tied to a particular protagonist. Pay attention to who you're playing as.
Time of Day: A few events only appear during specific times (day or night).
Proximity: You generally need to be relatively close to the event's trigger zone for it to appear on your mini-map as a blue dot.
Completion Tracking: The in-game Stats menu (under "Random Events Completed") will track your progress.
Replayability: Most events, once completed, will not reappear. However, some have multiple outcomes depending on your choices.

Random Event Categories & Walkthroughs:

1. Hitchhikers & Stranded Motorists

These events typically involve giving someone a ride or helping them with a broken-down vehicle. Often, a time limit is involved for successful completion.

Hitch Lift 1: Located on the Great Ocean Highway, just north of the Chumash tunnel. Pick up the stranded woman and drive her to her destination in Vinewood Hills.
Hitch Lift 2: Found on the Senora Freeway, near the Ron Alternates Wind Farm. Transport the man to the Altruist Cult camp. Note: Delivering him to the cult will grant a monetary reward, but delivering him to his original destination will yield a different outcome.
Broken Down Car: Appears on the side of the road in various locations, often in Blaine County. Help the person fix their tire or give them a ride.
Lost Cyclist: Encountered on the dirt roads near Mount Chiliad. Help the cyclist retrieve their stolen bike.

2. Mugging & Robbery

These events often require you to intervene in a crime or recover stolen goods.

Mugging: Frequently occurs in downtown Los Santos. Intervene to save the victim and recover their money. You can choose to return the money or keep it.
ATM Robbery: Similar to muggings, these happen near ATMs. Stop the robber and retrieve the stolen cash.
Bike Thief: A common event where someone's bicycle is stolen. Chase down the thief and return the bike.
Store Robbery: Appears outside various convenience stores. Stop the fleeing robber.

3. Escort & Rescue

These events involve protecting or safely transporting an NPC.

Gang Attack: Often found in gang territories like Grove Street or Rancho. Help the friendly NPC fend off attackers.
Construction Accident: Located at construction sites. Rescue a worker trapped under debris or from a dangerous situation.
Runaway Bride: Appears in the Tataviam Mountains. Pick up the bride and drive her to her desired location.

4. Unique & Story-Driven Events

These events often have specific triggers, locations, or multiple stages.

Deal Gone Wrong: This event is crucial for 100% completion. You'll find two Irishmen in a shootout with a gang in the Grand Senora Desert, near the Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
1. Initial Encounter: Approach the scene as Trevor. Eliminate the rival gang members.
2. Decision Point: The two Irishmen will ask for a ride. You can either drive them to their destination (near Sandy Shores Airfield) or take them to the Altruist Cult.
3. Outcome: Delivering them to their destination completes the event with a small monetary reward. Delivering them to the Altruist Cult will trigger a unique Altruist Cult Shootout event later, which is also required for 100% completion. It is highly recommended to deliver them to the Altruist Cult as Trevor to unlock the subsequent event.
Border Patrol: Encountered in Blaine County, often near the US-Mexico border. You'll find a group of vigilantes harassing immigrants. You can choose to intervene or ignore them.
Burial: Found in the desert, near the Alamo Sea. Witness a burial and decide whether to intervene.
Chase: Various chase events occur, often involving a vehicle or a person fleeing. Successfully stop the target.
Getaway Driver: Located in downtown Los Santos. A bank robber needs a getaway driver. Successfully escape the police.
Prisoner Transfer: Appears on roads in Blaine County. Intercept a prisoner transport vehicle.
Snatched: Occurs in various urban areas. A person is being kidnapped. Intervene and rescue them.

5. Altruist Cult Events (Trevor Only)

These events are exclusive to Trevor and involve the Altruist Cult. Delivering specific NPCs to the cult will trigger these events.

Altruist Cult Shootout: This event triggers after Trevor delivers four different NPCs to the Altruist Cult camp. Once the fourth person is delivered, Trevor will be ambushed by the cult members. Survive the shootout to complete the event and gain a significant cash reward.

By systematically working through this checklist and paying attention to character requirements and locations, you'll be well on your way to achieving 100% completion in Grand Theft Auto V!
