Complete GTA V Assault Rifle Challenges with our guide. Learn gold medal requirements for all three stages, including target counts and time limits.

Challenge One

Medals: Bronze: 2,500 points (17 targets, 36 seconds), Silver: 3,550 points, Gold: 7,550 points.

Targets: Multiple static targets. Targets exit after 3 hits.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Advanced Rifle is recommended for this challenge. Using better guns generally makes achieving Gold easier. Michael’s special ability can also help.
  2. 2
    The Advanced Rifle is good because it allows for short bursts, which are necessary to maintain your score multiplier.
  3. 3
    Targets appear from long range, moving left to right. Three will appear, and as the far-right one disappears, another will appear behind it, allowing you to maintain fire.
  4. 4
    The targets then appear right to left, still at long range.
  5. 5
    This pattern repeats, so keep your aim moving with the targets.

Challenge Two

Medals: Bronze: 4,750 points (No Time Limit, 57 seconds), Silver: 7,500 points, Gold: 17,500 points.

Targets: Single column of moving and flipping targets. Targets exit automatically.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Carbine Rifle is a good choice due to its accuracy. The Carbine or standard assault rifle are better than the Advanced Rifle here due to their slightly higher rate of fire.
  2. 2
    Four targets appear in a line. They move from right to left, starting with the foremost one, and then reverse the pattern.
  3. 3
    Targets further away move slower, requiring you to adjust your horizontal aim to match their speed.
  4. 4
    You can strafe with the targets or just adjust your aim.
  5. 5
    Reload as you move back to the next target to avoid reloading mid-target engagement.

Challenge Three

Medals: Bronze: 1,000 points (10 targets, 29 seconds), Silver: 3,000 points, Gold: 5,000 points.

Targets: Moving targets of varying height and speed. Targets exit after three hits.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Line up your shots carefully, as there are only 10 targets and maximizing points is crucial for Gold.
  2. 2
    This challenge is tougher due to targets appearing at varying heights and speeds, requiring quick adjustments.
  3. 3
    Take your time; you have 29 seconds. Focus on maintaining your multiplier by hitting targets accurately.
  4. 4
    The first set of targets drops in one at a time, alternating right-to-left and left-to-right, with slight variations in height and speed.
  5. 5
    Next, three targets drop: two first, then one on the left. Hit these in any order.
  6. 6
    A further three targets drop, each with slightly different heights and moving subtly.
Tips
  • For Challenge One, the Advanced Rifle is recommended for its controlled bursts to maintain the score multiplier.
  • For Challenge Two, the Carbine Rifle's accuracy is beneficial for the moving targets.
  • For Challenge Three, prioritize accuracy to maintain your score multiplier, as there are only 10 targets.
  • Consider using Michael's special ability in Challenge One to help with accuracy and time.
