5 reasons you should replay the GTA 5 story mode

1) Discover Easter eggs

Rockstar Games added tons of Easter eggs and other collectibles for you to discover. However, it can be difficult to find all of them the first time. So, a second or third playthrough of the story mode before GTA 6 rolls out would allow you to complete the game 100%. Rockstar Games hid some amazing details like outfits and weapons that are pop references or hints to the older titles.

2) Opt for a different playstyle

GTA 5 lets you get to cause as much chaos as you can, and this is the playstyle most players choose during their first playthrough. However, replaying the story mode gives you the chance to go through the missions and pick different, more subtle options.

Instead of going guns blazing, you can adopt a more stealthy approach when completing missions. Some players also attempt pacifist runs where they try not to kill anybody or hurt the least amount of characters. This lets you see the game in a completely new light as you discover the various gameplay options.

3) Pick up other mission options and endings

Almost every mission in GTA 5 has at least two ways to complete it. Most heists allow you to go in either silently or with a bang. So, replaying the game will let you enjoy these alternate paths you had to skip out on the first time.

This would allow you to see the game in a different light, and it also extends to side missions, where you have different variations depending on which option you picked and what dialog you chose. So, we recommend going through all of them and discovering all the dialogs and endings.

4) Use mods for a different experience

There are tons of different mods for GTA 5 that let you completely transform the game. So, even after you complete the main story, you can keep exploring Los Santos and complete missions that are not a part of the original game with these mods and scripts.

You can install various mods, ranging from Zombies to the ones that create uncontrollable chaos throughout the city. Enjoying the story mode with these mods before Grand Theft Auto 6 rolls out will be a completely different experience.

5) You probably won't pick up GTA 5 once the next game rolls out

GTA 5 is a legendary game that set new standards for the gaming industry and open-world titles. It brought several revolutionary features to the series that are still highly regarded. However, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be a completely different beast.

If any of the GTA release date predictions turn out to be true, almost nobody will have the time or will to pick up GTA 5 and replay the long story mode with all its missions and side activities. This is why now is the perfect time to replay the game while waiting for the next installment to hit the stores.
