Contact missions are missions offered to you by an in-game contact, such as Martin Madrazo, Lester, or any other NPC. In terms of pay, contact missions don't vary much, but instead use a timer-based system to determine payout, as shown in the chart above. Here are a few easy contact missions in GTA Online that players can begin with.

1. Simeonomics

Added as a part of Simeon's "Premium Deluxe Repo" work, Simeonomics simply tasks players with breaking into the LS Airport, stealing a few cars and returning them to Simeon. The mission can be completed in under 5 minutes and can be repeated indefinitely to farm cash.

3. Dispatch Missions

Offered by Martin Madrazo, Dispatch missions are simply glorified assassinations that players must carry out at the behest of Martin. A teammate with a Deluxo or Oppressor is recommended for this mission to reduce the turnaround time before starting the next contact mission.
