Here are the top 10 tips and tricks for playing Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) that can enhance your gameplay experience in both story mode and GTA Online:
Top 10 Tips & Tricks for Playing GTA V: 
1. Master the Character Switch:
•Quickly switch between Michael, Franklin, and Trevor to explore different parts of the story or to react to situations with the character best suited for the task at hand. Use their special abilities during missions for strategic advantages.
2. Stock Market Manipulation:
•In story mode, use the stock market in conjunction with Lester's assassination missions. Buy stocks before the mission and sell them after the mission impacts the market, potentially doubling or tripling your investment.
3. Use the Interaction Menu:
•In GTA Online, the interaction menu (M on PC, Touchpad on PS4/PS5, or View button on Xbox) is crucial. Use it to manage your crew, change outfits, access snacks, or call in personal vehicles quickly.
4. Learn the Map:
•Familiarize yourself with Los Santos and Blaine County. Knowing shortcuts, hidden areas, and where to find certain items (like armor or special vehicles) can be very beneficial during missions or free roam.
5. Invest in Businesses (GTA Online):
•Buying and running businesses in GTA Online can provide a steady income. Understand the mechanics of each business type (MC Businesses, Special Cargo, Nightclubs) to optimize profit.
6. Stealth Can Be Your Ally:
•In missions where stealth is an option, use it to avoid direct confrontation. It can save time, reduce damage, and sometimes yield better rewards. Use silenced weapons and cover systems effectively.
7. Snacks and Armor:
•In GTA Online, always carry snacks and armor. They can mean the difference between success and failure. Snacks heal you during combat, and armor can save you from fatal shots.
8. Vehicle Customization:
•Spend time at Los Santos Customs or in Online's vehicle workshops. Upgrading vehicles not only makes them look good but can significantly enhance performance or add combat capabilities.
9. Explore Side Activities:
•Don't just focus on the main storyline. Side activities like hunting, golf, or collecting hidden items contribute to 100% completion and offer unique gameplay experiences or rewards.
10. Use Heist Replay Glitch (Story Mode):
•For those wanting to maximize their money in story mode, there's a glitch where you can replay heists for profit. Save before a heist, complete it, then reload the save if the payout isn't satisfactory. This is especially lucrative for "The Big Score" heist.
Bonus Tips:
•Save Game Frequently: In story mode, save often before key decisions or risky activities to have multiple save points.
•Weekly Bonuses in GTA Online: Check Rockstar's Newswire for weekly bonuses that can increase your earning potential in certain activities or missions.
•Stay Updated: Rockstar frequently updates GTA Online, adding new content, vehicles, and missions. Staying updated can give you access to new ways to play or earn money.
•Avoid Shark Cards: Learn to make money in-game rather than buying it. It's more rewarding and teaches you the game's economy.
These tips and tricks can help both new and veteran players get more out of GTA V, whether you're diving into the story, exploring the open world, or getting rich in GTA Online.
