Gerald's Missions

Overview

Gerald's Missions are a set of Contact Missions in GTA Online for 1 to 4 players, playable solo or in co-op, available since the game's launch on October 1, 2013. Gerald is a Families drug dealer from Chamberlain Hills whom Lamar Davis introduces to new arrivals in Los Santos. He then calls the player with jobs, usually about stealing drugs from other dealers and gangs, most often the Vagos or The Lost MC.

How it works

Each mission begins with a call or text from Gerald and a marker to his apartment area or the job location. Typical objectives include raiding a rival stash and bringing the drugs back, intercepting deliveries and taking out guards. Vehicles used across the set include the Baller, Cavalcade, Daemon, Injection, Journey, Maverick, Rancher XL, Sanchez and Tropic, and some jobs involve a Jerry Can. Chef and Lamar appear in parts of the storyline. In one 2013 storyline, the player is sent by Lamar to free Gerald from police custody at Los Santos International Airport.

Gerald later returns with new drug work in The Diamond Casino Heist era (2020), building a "retirement fund" ahead of a feared recession, and in Los Santos Drug Wars (2023), pointing players toward stash houses.

Tips

• Bring friends. Payouts and difficulty scale with the number of players.
• Expect armed resistance at every drug location, so carry armor and a rifle.
• Protect the cargo vehicle on the way back. Losing it fails the job.

Rewards and unlocks

• Base payouts of $18,300 to $20,700.
• Cash and RP vary with time spent, difficulty and the number of players.
