Lamar's Missions

Overview

Lamar's Missions are a set of Contact Missions for 1 to 4 players, playable solo or co-op, available since GTA Online launched on October 1, 2013. Lamar Davis, Franklin Clinton's best friend and a Families member from Forum Drive, is the player's first contact in Los Santos. He introduces newcomers to Gerald and hands out jobs built around his own street hustles.

How it works

Lamar calls or texts with each job and sends the player to a marker in the city. The missions mostly involve street-level crime: attacking rival crews, stealing vehicles and goods, and delivering them to buyers. Vehicles that appear across the set include the Baller, Bison, Emperor, Granger, Hauler, Packer, Phantom, Schafter and Speedo. Simeon Yetarian is involved in part of the storyline, linking these jobs to his car business. Lamar drives his black Emperor in the original contact missions.

Lamar stays a recurring contact long after these early jobs, later returning with lowriders, LD Organics and his Short Trips with Franklin.

Tips

• These missions suit new characters. Use them to build cash, RP and weapon skills.
• Playing with others raises the payout, but also the number of enemies.
• When stealing trucks such as the Phantom or Packer, clear the route first. They handle poorly under fire.

Rewards and unlocks

• Base payouts of $18,300 to $19,800.
• Cash and RP vary with time spent, difficulty and the number of players.
