Franklin And Lamar's Short Trips

Overview

Short Trips is a set of three co-op contact missions added with the 1.58 The Contract update on December 15, 2021. They are the only missions where the GTA Online Protagonist doesn't take part directly. After an invitation from Dr. Dre, the player and a partner visit Record A Studios in Rockford Hills, get a tour from DJ Pooh and smoke LD Organics weed in the smoking room. Then they pass out, and the host plays Franklin Clinton while the second player plays Lamar Davis.

Walkthrough

1. Short Trip - Seed Capital: Lamar and Franklin head to the LD Organics warehouse, find the Vagos raiding it, clear the gang out and then chase down Lamar's stolen Mule full of stock.
2. Short Trip - Fire It Up: For payback, the pair storm the Vagos' weed farms in Blaine County and burn the crops.
3. Short Trip - OG Kush: Lamar shows off his new bioplastic LD Organics van and meets celebrity Jimmy Boston at the Redwood Lights Track. The Vagos crash the deal after Lamar posts the location on Snapmatic, and the duo escape back to the city, ending up at Tequi-la-la.

Tips

• Your own weapons and armor are unavailable. Each character has a fixed loadout, though snacks remain in the Interaction Menu.
• Finish a mission once without failing to unlock Hard difficulty, which can be set in the smoking room. Restarting the game resets it to Normal.
• Later trips start from the green marker outside the smoking room.

Rewards and unlocks

• Payouts are $50,000 on Normal and $62,500 on Hard.
• Each trip has a one-time Award worth $100,000 for completing it as Franklin and another for completing it as Lamar.
• The missions originally unlocked after completing The Contract: Dr. Dre as Leader. Since the Valentine's Day 2022 event, they have been open to all players from the Play Job menu.
