In GTA Online there are so-called contact missions that are available from the start. MeinMMO explains to you in this guide what these missions are, how to find them, and what they bring you.
Since the release, GTA Online is constantly being expanded with new mission types. It can be hard to keep track. In addition to heists, various jobs, and other tasks, there are also the contact missions that have been available since the launch of GTA Online.
What are contact missions? These are missions you receive from certain people.
- You will then deal with various contacts like Lamar Davis, Trevor Philips, and Lester Crest, who many players will already know from the single-player campaign of GTA 5.
- But there are also other contacts. You assist the respective contact person in their business.
Some contact missions have been available from the very beginning, while others are unlocked as you increase your rank in GTA Online. You will receive the first contact missions after the tutorial, when you create a character in GTA Online.
You can start contact missions anywhere
Here’s how to get started: Typically, you receive such requests from the contact persons via SMS. These arrive at irregular intervals on their own. However, you can also call a contact person directly.
To do this, select the desired contact on your smartphone and activate the “Request Job” option. Then you will receive a request.
Some contact missions are only available in free mode. They are identifiable on the radar by a star marking, but they are not visible on the map. Some are only available at specific times of the day.
All contact missions can be selected and activated directly in the pause menu. The order in which you complete these missions is up to you, although there are different difficulty levels. An exception also applies to the missions from the Lowriders content – the corresponding missions must be completed chronologically.
Keep in mind that you cannot accept a contact mission if you are wanted by the police. You can reset your wanted level for a fee of 200 dollars per level.
What do you need to do in contact missions? The tasks vary depending on the contact person. These can include thefts, drug deals, contract killings, and other tasks.
There’s money and RP to earn
These rewards await you: Depending on the difficulty and number of players, you receive a certain amount of money and RP (experience points).
The longer you take for a mission, the lower the cash reward.
- The lowest amount you receive is when you play alone at the lowest difficulty and take longer than 15 minutes to complete.
- On normal, there is a 25% bonus RP
- On hard, the bonus is 50%
- With another player, there is a +10% bonus RP
- Without target assistance, there is an additional 25% bonus on RP
- 2 players receive +10% on the cash reward, 3 players +20%, and 4 players +30%
Typically, the rewards range between about 18,000 and 23,000 dollars if you do not take longer than 15 minutes for the missions.
Can such a mission fail? If you play alone, you have one extra life available. If you die more than twice, the mission is over and you must start over. If you play in a group, the mission is over if all group members die.
Do you play such contact missions in GTA Online? Or are there other, more interesting tasks for you?
