I attempted to beat Grand Theft Auto 5 WITHOUT spending any money. I also added a pistol only rule. No glitches or mods, but skips (using the skip button in missions) was allowed for this.

A few things I didn't mention in the video/that other people mentioned: - The money for the shotgun as Franklin can be avoided by picking one up off an enemy before this mission. (I think you'd still need to skip the flashlight part anyway, but this would save on the money skipped that I tracked) - Buying stocks counts as spending money. So even though I could put money in the stock market so that I have $0 on Michael and Jimmy wouldn't take $3k, it wouldn't make sense since I'd end up spending way more by investing in the stock market. As far as I know there's no way to lose money without spending it (hospital bills also add to the money spent stat) Feel free to let me know any more areas you think I can get my money spent even lower!

what happens if you have 0 dollars for the cutscene ones? you could just put everything in stocks before the mission.

[@ShouldersofGiants100]

You could remove the shotgun cost by getting one before the mission. If you steal a cop car or take out a cop carrying one and pick it up, you don't need to buy it, only the flashlight mod.

[@epiccakesgaming]

I feel dumb for not even considering that (I already had in my head that I was going to use a skip for that part and I was mostly avoiding fighting police so I wouldn’t die) but that’s a great point. Would remove the $550 from the “skips saved money”

so the reason why Michael kills strech, Trevor kills Steve and Franklin Mr cheng is because they dont want attention to them. Just think about what the ballas would do if they Say that they saw franklin clinton killing an OG. That's why Michael kills him, so franklin can be out of trouble and they don't connect the dots to him.

[@epiccakesgaming]

Yep! I know they mention they don’t do that so they’re not suspects but to me it’s way less satisfying for like Michael to kill Stretch and Franklin to kill Cheng 😂

[@mandodo]

@@epiccakesgaming i mean that's true! I guess they sacrificed an epic moment for coherent writing (for me it's a good thing)

[@StormEagleCH]

Michael: I’ll handle Stretch, keep him clear of known associates *10 seconds later* Michael @ Stretch: I hAvE a MeSsAgE fRoM fRaNkLiN

[@JayHog1992]

Trevor also doesn't kill Stretch because he's been seen around the hood for a good while helping Franklin, and it would cause a bit more heat to Franklin as well. Franklin has no ties to Cheng, so he's safe to ambush them, while they'd expect Michael or Trevor after their melodrama. Not sure why Trevor kills Steve considering Steve dealt with all three of them. Guess they ran out of ideas or maybe Trevor being a psycho means he can give no fucks to consequences.

+20% money (If you dont understand its said in the story that lester get 20% cut)

[@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames]

It reminds me of Martin constant saying he would have killed him because "he does nothing". Ignoring the fact Lester is the biggest door opener in gta 5. Name a single other person with the connections to make police stop chasing you mid manhunt for just 1k dollars at most (free even if you have done the full doomsday heist as a host). It's also fair to assume that Lester prevents cops looking further into the player characters business legality and actions. He knows keeping the characters such as the GTA Online character at play gives him ability to make operations possible such as the casino heist. Do you all really think the star remove ability was so cheap for no reason? Compare it to Securo Serv 12,000 ability that does the same thing. Lester role is simple, he opens doors and keeps them open.

There is a reason why the repair is free at father and son, the boat chase mission Franklin actually says he knows a guy who can repair the car for him. Its because its Franklin's friend.

[@esotericVideos]

Great video! There might be 1 or 2 guns you bought that you can find somewhere on the map, and maybe some day someone will find glitches to work around some of these but otherwise I don't think there's any way to spend less money. Really interesting and well done video!

[@Questionsleepp]

They dont kill their own antagonists because being nearby someone you're known to be antagonistic with when they die is very suspicious. Michael says so when they split up for that mission.

[@Mmr_mn]

"Yo homie, get the shotty with the flashlight attachment"

[@xandercogan5521]

The reason why the upgrade is free at the very start of the video is because somehow Michael knew the exact dollar that it would cost to repair the engine and however many other damages were caused so you know that's why it's free cuz he gives you a fat wad of cash
