10 Things Only GTA V Fans Understand
3. Missing Tonya's Phone Call
The journey to getting 100% completion on an open-world game, not to mention something as expansive as GTA V, is a feat that certainly deserves its plaudits. Getting within touching distance of this marker, only to find out you’ve fallen at the final hurdle through no real fault of your own is, to say the least, a crushing experience (and something I’ve felt first-hand).
GTA V has a pretty varied list when it comes to what’s required to get what it deems as “100%”. You have all the bigger and more obvious stuff like story missions and races, but then you have the extra and miscellaneous criteria to fulfil like specific stranger missions and friend activities. Tonya is one of the strangers whose missions contribute to the 100% checklist.
Tonya contacts Franklin fairly early on in the game, and over the course of the story, asks for Franklin’s help a total of five times. Her missions are straight-forward and serve more to flesh out Franklin’s backstory than anything else. However, an oversight exists where if you power through the story too quickly, her phone call can be missed, meaning you’re forever locked out of getting 100% on that save file.
