GTA 5’s story mode is full of standout missions. This list picks 10 of the best for set pieces, heists, and story. Use our story walkthrough and endings guide to see how they fit the full campaign.

Heists and Big Scores

The multi-part heists (e.g. Jewelry Store, Paleto Bay, Bureau) are high points. They mix planning, driving, and shooting and pay well. If you like these, try GTA Online heists after the story. Michael and the crew are at the heart of the best of these.

Character Missions and Set Pieces

Trevor’s chaos, Franklin’s street missions, and Michael’s Hollywood-style jobs each have memorable moments. Missions that switch between characters or end in chases and shootouts often land in “best of” lists. For 100% completion, pair this with our achievements guide and side missions guide.

Conclusion

These 10 are a starting point; GTA 5 Mobile and console have many more. For more GTA 5 guides, visit our homepage.
