How to get Gold Medal in GTA 5 Mission 8 - Friend Request?
Completing GTA 5 Mission 8 is somewhat easy, but getting the Gold Medal is quite tricky. However, you can just follow the steps below and you're good to go!
- Time: Complete the mission with less than 8.5 minutes. In order to do this, you must skip all the cutscenes and using the exit from the back to leave. Michael can't run in the building, so getting out of there as soon as possible will allow you to get to your car and come back home faster.
- Popups Termination: Close all popup windows with less than 32 seconds. If you're confident with your skills, then you can just move your mouse as rapid as possible to close those windows. But to make sure, you should trigger Michael's ability to slow down time before the cutscene appears, which allows you to finish it before the time runs out.
Be mindful that you won't be able to recognize Michael's skill being triggered, but the game will show you that you've cleared all the pop-ups ahead of time. Lastly, don't even try opening the antivirus software before closing all pop-ups. Just like our real life, it won't work!
That's all. Hopefully, you enjoy the game and have no difficulty completing GTA 5 Mission 8 after reading our guide!
