The GTA Wiki

Los Santos Drug Wars (Update)

Los Santos Drug Wars (Update) is a mission entry covering GTA Online in TheGTAWiki catalog.

Overview

Los Santos Drug Wars (Update) appears in the GTA Online mission roster. The mission advances local storylines or side activity progression depending on the title. Players typically unlock it through main story progress, territory control, or stranger markers shown on the in-game map. Consult the pause menu mission list or contact icons for exact unlock timing in each game version. Rockstar scripts these missions with checkpoint saves where supported, so failed attempts can usually be retried without replaying earlier story content. Mission progress saves at most checkpoints in supported titles, and the pause-map legend continues to display active objectives while players manage wanted levels or switch protagonists when the strand allows.

Walkthrough

1. Reach the mission unlock point in GTA Online by completing prerequisite story missions or territory requirements. 2. Start Los Santos Drug Wars (Update) from the map icon, mission phone call, or stranger encounter marker. 3. Follow GPS objectives through each scripted phase, switching vehicles or weapons when loadouts are provided. 4. Manage combat, vehicle integrity, and escort proximity requirements as on-screen prompts indicate. 5. Complete finale objectives to receive payouts, respect bonuses, or unlock follow-up missions in the same strand. 6. Review the mission summary on the results screen for payout totals, respect changes, or unlock notifications before returning to freeroam.

Fail Conditions

Common failure states include protagonist death, destroyed mission vehicles, killed essential NPCs, or leaving the mission area. Specific fail triggers vary by game; retry from the last checkpoint where supported in GTA Online.

Trivia
