Follow our quick guide to complete the Predator mission in Grand Theft Auto V, including tips for Gold Medal requirements like accuracy and mission time.

Alright, so you've gotten the call from Franklin after finishing up the Paleto Score Setup and Military Hardware missions. It's time to switch over to him and get ready for a chase!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to chase down the O’Neill Brothers. They're in their vehicles, and you'll need to keep up with them until they eventually crash.
  2. 2
    Once they've crashed, you'll need to Investigate the Crash Site. After that, switch over to Trevor. Your next job is to head to the airfield and collect the helicopter that's waiting for you there.
  3. 3
    With the helicopter secured, it's time to Go to the Forest. Once you arrive, switch on your thermal scope. You'll need to use this to spot and take out the guys who are hiding out in the trees.
  4. 4
    Keep an eye on Chop; he'll let you know when he's found the final target. Once he does, it's time to Chop! and take him down.
  5. 5
    Finally, you'll need to Return Home. Pick up Franklin, and then head back to the airfield to wrap up the mission.
🏆 Gold Medal Requirements
✓Accuracy - You'll need to finish the mission with at least 70 percent shooting accuracy. Since you'll be using a sniper rifle with a thermal scope, you should be able to line up your shots pretty well. Just remember to aim for the heads to make sure you hit that target!
✓Mission Time - Try to complete the whole thing within 09:00. To do this, you'll need to know where the enemies are located and skip any cutscenes you can. The first enemy is in the river, so check there first. The second is in the middle of the woods – use your thermal scope to find the heat signature, making sure to distinguish them from any animals. A third enemy will start firing rockets at you, so be ready for that.
✓Headshots - You need to get headshots on all 3 enemies. This includes the one in the river, the one in the woods, and the one firing rockets. Get close and aim carefully for the head.
✓Thin The Herd - Just make sure you don't accidentally shoot any animals during the mission, and you'll get this one.
Tips
  • Use the thermal scope to easily distinguish enemies from animals.
  • Pay attention to Chop; he'll alert you when the final target is found.
  • Skipping cutscenes and knowing enemy locations will help you beat the mission time requirement.
