Vigilante missions are a series of side missions that are present in almost all of the major older GTA games and have since become an iconic part of them, especially in the case of GTA 4. These missions typically give GTA players a chance to act as Vigilantes and eliminate dangerous criminals.
This series of side missions has gained a strong cult following in recent years, with fans claiming that these always stand out above the rest of the missions in Grand Theft Auto titles, allowing them to engage in much more morally righteous activities.
Unfortunately, these missions weren't exactly present in GTA 5, or at least in their original iterations, and were mostly relegated to short bounty hunting missions for Trevor.
However, if one wishes to relive the glory days of Vigilante missions, they may just download the GTA 4 vigilante mission mod for Grand Theft Auto 5. This article provides additional information on this subject.

How can players play Vigilante mission in GTA 5?
To start these missions, players need to get into a police car and press the "E" key (if they are on a PC) to access the computer, or they can just press the right D-pad if they are on a console. Here, they will get access to the Most Wanted and Current Crimes tab.
The Most Wanted are the vigilante missions that are created by the modders themselves while current crimes are missions that are randomly generated.
If players complete 10 missions in a row from the above-mentioned crime list, they will unlock a special vigilante mission. Here is the list of criminals that JustDance PC has provided:
- Wang Fang
- Tony Mussolini
- Martin Madrazo
- Frank Abagnale
- Ted Bundy
- Song Jiang
- Catherine Kerkow
- Harry "Taco" Bowman
- Heisenberg
- Billy "The Beaut" Russo
- The Joker (unlocked after completing 15 missions)
Here are all the events that can take place in the Current Crimes tab:
- Assault: Random civilian is being robbed by a criminal
- Gang activity: Wanted gang was spotted, hunt them down
- Stolen vehicle: The criminal is trying to get away with a stolen vehicle
- Suspect on the run: The suspect is trying to get away from the crime scene on foot
- Mass shooter: Random psycho shooting at civilians, the police, and even the player
- Fleeca bank robbery
- Pacific Standard bank robbery
There are many other important features that also come with this mod, such as a save feature that will save players' progress whenever they complete a Most Wanted list mission. They will also get a stats menu that showcases all of the progress and failures they have gone through while doing these missions.
