Darts

Learn the best strategies and tips for playing Darts in Grand Theft Auto V. Master the game of 301 and hit those crucial doubles to win!

Alright, so you wanna try your hand at Darts in Los Santos? It's a pretty chill way to pass the time, and thankfully, all three characters – Michael, Franklin, and Trevor – can have a go at it. Don't worry about picking the 'best' character for this; they all play the same, so just go with whoever you feel like using.

The game itself is a classic: you start with 301 points and your goal is to get down to exactly 0. You get three darts per turn, and the trick is to use as few as possible. The most important rule to remember is that you HAVE to finish on a double or a bullseye. This means you need to do a little bit of math in your head as you get closer to zero, planning your shots so your final dart lands on a double.

Strategy Tip: On your very first turn, aim for the treble 20. If you nail it, that's 60 points off right away, putting you in a fantastic spot. Scoring a 180 (three treble 20s) is the dream and really sets you up for an easy win.

You'll notice that during your turn, you get a special 'focus' mode. This is super handy for lining up those difficult shots, especially when you're going for a big score like a 180 or when you need to hit that final double to win the game. It doesn't last long though, maybe a few seconds, so make sure you've got your aim locked in before you activate it.

Honestly, the biggest keys to winning at Darts are a little bit of basic math and a whole lot of patience. There's no rush, so take your time with each throw, plan your shots, and don't get flustered. Good luck!
