While GTA 5 is packed with unforgettable story missions like “The Big Score” and “Blitz Play,” some of the game’s most creative and fun missions are often overlooked. Here’s a list of the most underrated missions in GTA 5 Story Mode that deserve more attention.
1. Fame or Shame
This hilarious mission features Trevor and Michael crashing a live talent show in search of Tracey. It’s a perfect blend of chaos and comedy that shows off Rockstar’s satirical edge.
2. The Long Stretch
A gritty gangland mission where Franklin, Lamar, and Stretch meet up for a drug deal gone wrong. It’s intense, grounded, and a great early look at the criminal underworld in Los Santos.
3. Mr. Richards
Michael heads to the movie studio to ‘negotiate’ with a director and actor. The mission mixes stealth, action, and humor while tying into Michael’s dream of becoming a film producer.
4. Caida Libre
Trevor and Michael team up to take down a private jet mid-flight. The cinematic feel and long-distance sniping make this mission both tense and memorable, yet often forgotten.
5. Eye in the Sky
Use a police helicopter and scanner to locate a high-end vehicle in a totally unique way. It breaks up the pace of the game and offers a more strategic, tech-driven experience.
These missions may not get the spotlight, but they add layers of fun, personality, and depth to GTA 5’s world. If you’re replaying the game, don’t skip them!
