GTA: 10 Best Secret Missions EVERYONE Missed

4. The Payphones - GTA III

The kind of open-world mission trigger you couldn't do now, but we absolutely just went with back in 2001, walking up to a series of ringing payphones around Liberty City gives you a bunch of hidden side-missions.

Not signposted on the minimap whatsoever, Claude will just do whatever the person on the other side is describing, ranging from the owner of Bitchin' Dog Foods, Marty Chonks turning his rivals into mulch, to piloting various explosive toy buggies into some armoured vans.

Honestly, bring this sort of stuff back.

The older GTA trilogy revelled in off the wall arcady randomness - with floating power-ups and missions like this - and doing this sort of thing with a weightier physics model would be even more fun.
