All Random Events in Grand Theft Auto V — Locations, Map & Checklist
Random Events are unscripted encounters that appear as you drive around Los Santos and Blaine County — muggings, hitchhikers, gang chases, security van robberies and more. There are 57 distinct events in total, but only 14 need to be completed for 100% game completion. Events appear as blue dots on the minimap when you are close, and many are character-specific or only appear after certain story missions. Because they are triggered by proximity and chance rather than fixed pickups, the practical approach is to complete any event you encounter rather than hunting specific ones.
