GTA Online Trophies

Seventeen of the 51 trophies are earned in GTA Online. Most can be done by rank 20 with a friend in an invite-only session. The big one is rank 100, which is the longest grind of the platinum.

Plan: the quick ones first (Off the Plane, Enjoy Your Stay, Stick Up Kid solo, American Dream, Dialling Digits), then boost the multiplayer ones with a friend (Numero Uno, Backseat Driver, Run Like The Wind, Full Refund, Crew Cut, The Midnight Club), and grind rank alongside. PS4 characters transferred to PS5 unlock most online trophies automatically on your next rank-up or activity.

Finish all 10 waves of any Survival (unlocked around rank 15). The Boneyard map is the classic choice: camp in the narrow gap between the grey portacabin and the red wall on your right at the start.

TypeBronze
MissableNo
ModeOnline

How to earn it

Survive a full in-game day (about 48 real minutes) with a bounty on you. From rank 10 a friend can set one through Lester ($2,000). Keep moving, because sitting in an apartment pauses the timer.

Tip

Stealing expensive NPC cars in a solo session sometimes gets an NPC bounty placed on you.

Clean Sweep trophy

TypeBronze
MissableNo
ModeOnline

How to earn it

Gang Attacks unlock at rank 18 (red circles on the minimap). Clear one with at least 10 kills and no deaths.

Earn 30 platinum awards. Many are one-offs or quick to boost with a friend: No Claims Bonus (drive 30 minutes without crashing), Hairy Encounters (25 haircuts), Snapper Dresser (25 outfits), Checking Out (darts), Straight Sets and Out Of Five (tennis), Road Rage, Granny and more.

Tip

Check Stats → Awards for progress. Short one-lap races on Criminal Records knock out several racing awards at once.

ModeOnline

How to earn it

Rob all 20 stores marked on the map. Aim at the cashier until he throws you the bag. It counts once you've picked up the bag, even if you then die.

Tip

Do it in a solo session so other players can't rob stores (they go on cooldown) or rob you. Robbed stores get a green tick on the map.

Enjoy Your Stay trophy
