Playing GTA Online with friends transforms the experience. Whether you're on GTA 5 Mobile or console, crew activities provide some of the most enjoyable moments in Los Santos. This guide covers the best activities for new players to enjoy with their crew—from low-barrier fun to more challenging cooperative content that helps you make money while having a good time.

Contact Missions

Contact missions are cooperative jobs from NPCs like Gerald, Lamar, and Simeon. They're accessible early, require no upfront investment, and pay decently for the time invested. Most can be completed with 2-4 players and scale difficulty based on crew size. They're perfect for learning coordination and practicing combat before tackling heists.

Variety keeps contact missions interesting—some involve shootouts, others driving, and many mix both. Playing with friends makes even simple missions more entertaining. The payouts help new players build initial capital for properties and businesses.

Races and Stunt Races

Races are accessible immediately and require no investment beyond a vehicle. Stunt races add ramps, tubes, and loops for chaotic fun. Even losing pays something, and winning provides good money and RP. Races teach vehicle handling and familiarize you with the map. Crew races are especially fun when you're competing against friends rather than randoms.

Custom race creation adds replayability. Build tracks with your crew and challenge each other. Racing skills transfer to missions and free roam—knowing the map and handling vehicles well pays dividends across GTA Online.

Heists

Heists are the pinnacle of cooperative GTA 5 Online content. They require coordination, communication, and some investment but offer the best payouts. Start with the Fleeca Job (2 players) to learn basics, then progress to larger heists. The heist guide covers strategies for each.

Finding a reliable crew is essential. Random matchmaking often leads to frustration. Use crews, friends lists, or communities to build a consistent team. Heist payouts scale with performance—fewer deaths and quicker completions mean better rewards. A good crew makes heists efficient and enjoyable.

Business Sales and Resupply

Once you own businesses like the Bunker or Nightclub, crew members can help with sales and resupply missions. Multiplayer sales often require multiple vehicles; having friends drive them reduces the risk of losing product to other players. Resupply missions go faster with backup. See our best businesses guide for investment priorities.

Helping friends with their sales builds goodwill and often leads to reciprocation. The GTA Online economy rewards cooperation—crew members assisting each other's businesses creates a virtuous cycle of wealth and fun.

Adversary Modes and Mini-Games

Adversary modes are PvP or team-based game types with unique rules. Some are silly, others competitive. They're good for casual sessions when you want something different from free roam chaos. Tennis, golf, and darts provide lighthearted options. Special event modes often offer double rewards—check weekly updates.

Free Roam Shenanigans

Sometimes the best crew activities are unscripted. Car meets, impromptu races, exploring the map, or simply causing chaos together. Free roam with friends creates memorable moments that structured activities can't match. Having a crew makes the dangerous open world more survivable and more fun.
