Grand Theft Auto V Strangers and Freaks play an important role in the video game, if you wish to get a 100% completion rate, and if you want to get more money while exploring Los Santos.
The Strangers and Freaks in Grand Theft Auto 5 are characters that appear on your map after you finish specific story missions.
There are 15 Strangers and Freaks in GTA 5 and all of them have assignments from you. The characters are marked on your map with different letters based on their names, such as T for Tonya or C for Cletus.
The letters have different colors, depending on the character that can interact with them: orange for Trevor, green for Franklin and blue for Michael. Usually a GTA V Stranger and Freak has more than one mission you can complete, and most of them can be approached only by one playable character.
As an example, Cletus talks only with Trevor. After you encounter a stranger you will be asked to complete an assignment which is rated based on your performance. After you finishit, the character wont give you another assignment, but it will contact you later in the game or his/her icon will appear on the map.
The Strangers and Freaks missions are various and can be replayed by accessing them through the games menu. Sometimes, for these missions you will be asked to find collectibles, to locate various items of interest, or to fight waves of aliens and dancing clowns.
As a reward for finishing such a mission you will unlock new activities, hobbies and even locations that will allow you to earn more money while exploring the city of Los Santos.
The following Grand Theft Auto V Strangers and Freaks Guide reveals the complete list of characters you will encounter in Los Santos, and explains who can talk to them, and what you have to do in order to complete their missions.
