Follow our guide to ace the Grass Roots missions in Grand Theft Auto V, including 'The Pickup' and 'The Drag'. Get tips for Gold Medals and avoid unwanted outcomes.

Alright, let's get these 'Grass Roots' missions done in Grand Theft Auto V. Barry's got some... *interesting* ideas, and we need to help him out. We'll cover both 'The Pickup' and 'The Drag' to get you through this.

Walkthrough: Grass Roots - The Pickup

  1. First things first, after you've finished 'Three's Company', head over to meet Barry. He'll be waiting for you outside the ranch store on Sinner Street.
  2. Once you meet up, Barry will text you about collecting some supplies. You'll need to head to two different spots marked on your map to grab the truck.
  3. Now for the delivery. You'll need to get this truck to Vespucci Beach. Here's the kicker: you've only got 3 minutes to do it. Make sure to use Franklin's Special ability to boost your speed and shave off as much time as possible. Try to avoid any major crashes, as that'll definitely eat into your time.

Gold Medal Requirements: Grass Roots - The Pickup

  • Mission Time - Finish the mission in under 02:45.
  • Unwanted Outcome - Complete the mission without attracting any wanted level.
Tips for Gold
  • To beat the Mission Time, really lean on Franklin's Special. It's your best friend for cutting down travel time. Keep an eye on the on-screen timer to see how you're doing. It's a pretty reasonable time, so don't stress too much if your first attempt isn't perfect.
  • Avoiding the wanted level is key for 'Unwanted Outcome'. The direct route on the minimap is a trap – cops are waiting. Instead, when you leave the yard, turn right, head towards the LS River, drive through the barriers, and into the water. Follow the river for a bit, then double back once the wall ends. Come back onto the road and follow the yellow marker to the drop-off. It's a sneaky but effective way to stay clean.

Walkthrough: Grass Roots - The Drag

  1. After wrapping up 'The Pickup', make your way to La Puerta. The car you need is stored there.
  2. When you get there, you'll find the car doesn't run. No worries, though. There's a Tow Truck parked nearby. Hook up the broken-down car to the Tow Truck.
  3. Your final task is to deliver the car to Barry's Apartment.

Gold Medal Requirements: Grass Roots - The Drag

  • Mission Time - Complete within 01:30.
  • Hooked - Keep the stash car hooked up all the way to the delivery point.
Tips for Gold
  • For the Mission Time requirement, the quickest way to get the tow truck is to head to the back of the yard, past the tank. Grab that tow truck, hook up the car, and get moving to Barry's. Again, Franklin's Special is super useful here for navigating tight spots and avoiding crashes.
  • To nail the 'Hooked' requirement, focus on smooth driving. Use Franklin's Special in short bursts to handle sharp turns and prevent any accidental disconnections. Drive fast, but be careful not to lose the car.
  • There's a final step here that doesn't give you a mission complete screen: Approach the marker, Franklin will call Barry, and then you just need to leave the area. Don't worry if it feels like nothing happened; the mission is done.
