Quick Answer
The opening missions teach cover, driving, wanted levels, and character abilities. Clear them first, then replay for gold if needed. If aiming high immediately, focus on clean driving, time, and shooting accuracy.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Prologue | Learn cover shooting and escape flow | Do not reload in the open |
| Lamar mission | Drive cleanly and keep route rhythm | Fewer crashes beat flashy drifting |
| After pursuit | Follow wanted-level and vehicle prompts | Do not loop in police sight |
| Replay for gold | Practice time, collisions, and accuracy separately | First run does not need perfection |
Key Checks
- Most failures come from vehicle damage or ignoring cover.
- Gold medals can be replayed later without hurting story flow.
- Franklin’s ability is best saved for tight turns and traffic.
