At number five is the Mall Or Nothing mission offered by Lamar Davis in GTA Online. It is a point-to-point sedan race spanning 3.24 miles.

As soon as players land at the Los Santos International Airport, Lamar picks them up and provides them with guns, before handing out tips on how to survive in the game. He then drops the player to the mission marker where the race begins. The whole race consists of roaming around the northern part of Los Santos, giving beginners a nice overview of the game's open world. Players can earn a minimum of $2,100 and 1300 RP by winning the race.


4) Learning the Ropes

Players need to ambush a deal involving Ballas, eliminate the prime target, collect the items, and deliver them to Gerald’s apartment in the game. The entire mission introduces players on what to expect in the action-packed missions of the game. Upon completion, players will then have the ability to freely roam the open world of Los Santos in Free Mode. They also earn a lucrative sum of $500 and 1300 RP.
