U4GM Guide to GTA 5 Stab City Stealth Strategy

Trevor's move into Los Santos starts with a nasty little job in Mission 23, "Friends Reunited." It isn't just another desert shootout. This is the point where he stops guessing and realises Michael is alive. For players revisiting the story on PC, strong visuals make the rain, headlights, and trailer park feel even more tense, while GTA 5 Accounts can offer a different starting point for anyone who wants to explore the wider world with more options ready to go. The mission's Gold Medal goals matter because they push you to stay calm instead of charging in.

A Clean Visit to Stab City

Trevor and Wade roll up to Stab City in a black Pfister Comet, with Wade doing what Wade does best: worrying out loud. The Lost MC camp is the real test. You'll want five headshots, very little damage, no early discovery, and every marked trailer destroyed in one blast. That sounds simple on paper. It isn't. Rain cuts visibility, guards drift around corners, and a rushed throw can spoil the whole run. Take the outer path first. Place each sticky bomb before moving deeper into the camp. Once the last charge is set, step back and trigger them together. It's fast, loud, and oddly satisfying.

Gold Medal Checklist

Goal	What to Do	Useful Approach
Headshots	Land five accurate shots	Wait for clear sight lines
Mystery Gift	Stay unseen while setting charges	Use darkness and cover
Unmarked	Take minimal damage	Don't trade shots unless needed
Perfect Gift	Destroy every trailer at once	Detonate only after all charges are placed

The trick is patience. A lot of players lose the medal by firing too soon, then spending the rest of the mission trying to recover. There's no real need to do that. Keep Trevor low, let patrols pass, and treat the camp like a small puzzle rather than a battlefield.

A Strange Road Story

After Stab City goes up in flames, the drive south gives the mission its personality. Trevor tells Wade a warped fairy tale to keep him quiet. There's a kid called Trisha who flies planes, plus a silver-tongued troll beneath a bridge. It's Trevor's version of old history, only bent out of shape by anger and suspicion. If you know Michael's past, the meaning lands right away. The conversation also makes the long ride feel less like travel time and more like a fuse burning down.

Floyd's Unwelcome Houseguest

Vespucci Beach brings Trevor and Wade to Floyd Hebert's apartment, and Floyd barely gets a chance to react before Trevor takes over the place. The condo becomes Trevor's foothold in the city, opening up the next stretch of the story and putting Michael much closer than ever. Players looking to spend time on cars, weapons, or property around Los Santos may also see why cheap GTA 5 Money is often discussed, since the city offers plenty of expensive distractions between missions.
