Freaks and other strange people in GTA 5 are called “random characters” and can sometimes be found in Los Santos or Blaine County. All of these 15 different people can give you a total of 58 missions, but only 20 of them need to be done for GTA 5 to be 100% done.
When you meet a random character, he or she will show up on your map as a capital letter representing his or her name. Most of the time, only certain main characters can talk to certain weirdos. Abigail, for instance, only talks to Michael.
In GTA 5, when you finish the first task for a stranger, you will usually get the next one in the form of a letter, phone call, or SMS. At times, you have to find it again on the map and come to a meeting in person. The best way to get around is to use the map on the Social Club’s website. There’s a list of all the strangers, including the ones you’ve met and talked to.
You get money, new jobs, real estate, and other benefits for doing jobs for weirdos and other strangers. Each random character has its own reward, but some have none at all.
