Despite being nearly 11 years old, GTA V still surprises players with hidden rewards in its many random events. There are at least 57 random events in the story mode, some of which offer unique and impactful rewards that enhance the game experience.

Using GTABase to explore every random event in the standard and enhanced editions of the game, I selected five standout events that offer particularly interesting rewards.

Trapped Vehicle 1

The first random event involves Trevor Phillips and can only be accessed after completing the Jewelry Store Heist mission. Near the Sandy Shores Airport, a random vehicle appears and lures Trevor into a trap where he is knocked out and left on the train tracks.

Reward: If the player quickly activates Trevor's special ability, they can avoid being knocked out, kill the attacker, and steal the stun gun. This is important because this is the first chance to get the weapon, otherwise the player must wait longer in the game.

City Bike Thief 1

This event can be triggered from the start of the game by any of the three protagonists. In Rancho, an NPC's bike is stolen, and the player must recover and return it.

Reward: The protagonist who completes the event will receive three additional stamina attributes, which are beneficial throughout the game. Later, an email notifies the protagonist of a $100,000 gain in Animal Ark stock on the LCN-Exchange website, providing a significant financial boost.

Paleto Bay Rescue

In Paleto Bay, a random event involves disrupting two gang members to bury a woman alive. The player must kill the enemies and bring the woman back to the city.

Reward: Upon completing this event, the protagonist's special ability meter will be fully restored, after which the player will receive an in-game reward of $60,000, which is much higher than most other random events.

Robbery Gang Addition

After a jewelry store robbery, the player can trigger the "Crash Rescue" event on the Great Ocean Highway near Mount Chiliad. The event involves rescuing a woman from a crashed car.

Reward: The rescued woman, Taliana Martinez, becomes a potential getaway driver for future robberies. She is the best and cheapest driver option, helping players save and earn thousands of dollars in the heist endings.

Simeon Yetarian Encounter

In Story Mode, protagonist Michael or Franklin can kill Simeon by visiting his dealership between the mission Friend Request and the Jewelry Store Heist endings. Simeon sends enemies after you, and after defeating them, you can choose his fate.

Reward: While there is no material reward, the satisfaction of killing Simeon after completing tiresome missions and dialogue provides a satisfying sense of revenge. Shortly after, an in-game broadcast confirms his death.

Conclusion

These random events in GTA V offer more than just small rewards; they provide substantial benefits that enhance the gaming experience. Whether it's gaining new heist team members or getting unique weapons early, these events are worth seeking out. For players looking to maximize their GTA V experience, it is recommended that you purchase a GTA 5 account from rpgstash.com to access additional features and benefits faster, making the gaming experience even more exciting.
