Follow this guide to complete the Studio Time mission in GTA Online's Contract DLC. Learn how to clear out gunmen at Record A Studios and access the Control Room.

Alright, so you've wrapped up a few of the earlier VIP Contracts like The Nightlife Leak and The South Central Leak. Head back to your Agency, and you'll trigger a cutscene with Dr. Dre. Turns out, Johnny Guns has swiped Dre's unreleased music, and after that scene, Franklin will give you a call. He needs you to grab Dre's car back, so make your way to Franklin's office in the Agency to kick off the 'Studio Time' mission.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, exit the Agency and hop into Dr. Dre's car that's waiting for you. Follow the waypoint that pops up on your map, which will lead you straight to Record A Studios.
  2. 2
    As soon as you arrive, you'll notice a pretty big group of hired gunmen causing a ruckus outside. Your best bet here is to find some cover and take them all out. Don't be shy with your gear – things like stick bombs, rocket launchers, and assault rifles will work wonders.
  3. 3
    Once the street is clear of those guys, it's time to head inside the studio. Be warned, though, there are more gunmen waiting for you in there.
  4. 4
    Now, switch to a shotgun – it's perfect for clearing out the interior. Move slowly from cover to cover, making sure you take out every gunman you see. Keep an eye behind you, because enemies have a nasty habit of spawning in areas you thought were already cleared.
  5. 5
    After you've dealt with all the gunmen inside, Dre will give you access to the Control Room via a cutscene, and that's pretty much it for this mission!
Tips
  • When clearing out the gunmen outside, using explosives like stick bombs can really help thin the herd quickly.
  • Inside the studio, stick to cover and don't rush. Enemies can spawn behind you, so always be aware of your surroundings. A shotgun is your best friend for close-quarters combat in the office spaces.
