GTA 5 100%, and what it actually takes
Los Santos and Blaine County, three protagonists, and a 100% checklist that is mostly collectibles once the story is done.

Every category that counts toward completion, with how many of each. Read straight from the tracker, so these numbers are the ones you will be ticking off.

Where runs usually stall
The 50 letter scraps and 50 spaceship parts are the long tail. Neither shows on the in-game map, which is why most runs stall there.
