Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'An American Welcome' Strangers and Freaks mission in Grand Theft Auto V, including tips for the Gold Medal requirements.
Alright, so you've finished up 'The Civil Border Patrol,' and now it's time for a little something called 'An American Welcome.' To kick things off, you'll need to head out to the outskirts of Mount Chiliad. That's where the Minute Men are waiting to get this mission rolling.
Walkthrough
- 1Once the intro scene wraps up, hop in a vehicle and head down the road. Your first objective is to catch up to a suspect on an ATV. You don't need to be gentle here – just ram him off the bike to make the arrest.
- 2After you've snagged the first guy, it's time to head over to the Cement Factory. Keep an eye out for two more illegals riding dirt bikes. Your job is to chase them down and ram them off their bikes, just like the first one.
- 3With the second group apprehended, you've got one last group of illegals to deal with. Arrest them, and then you can hop out of the vehicle. Mission complete!
🏆 Gold Medal Requirements
✓Shock and Awe: You need to use the stun gun on all the immigrants.
✓Downed: Stop the first group of immigrants within 30 seconds.
✓Doubled Downed: Stop the second group of immigrants within 55 seconds.
Tips for Gold Medals
- Shock and Awe: Honestly, just get close to your targets. The guys in the car with you will handle it with the stun gun. If you want to do it yourself, go for it, but seriously, don't pull out your regular weapons. It's tempting, I know, but stick to the stun gun.
- Downed: The best way to nail this is to drive your truck down the hill towards the path the target will be coming on. You can try driving on the road, but by the time you weave around, the target will be long gone. Get to the road ASAP, then drive to meet him. Your buddies should zap him with the stun gun as he rides by, making it easy to apprehend him. There's a handy shortcut hill you can use to intercept the quad biker as he comes down the road.
- Doubled Downed: Don't follow the yellow GPS route all the way to the end. Instead, bail off the main path just before you get there and drive around the perimeter of the site. Your targets will be off to the left. Follow them as fast as you can. You should be able to close the distance, even with the terrible handling of the vehicle you're in. Once you're close enough, your buddies will hit them with the stun gun. Just watch them go down!
