The new ‘A Safehouse in the Hills’ update for GTA Online sees the return of everyone’s favorite seasoned bank robber – Michael De Santa. The story mode protagonist makes his first-ever GTAO appearance in the update, and you can even complete some missions for him. Unfortunately, unlocking these missions is easier said than done, leaving many players confused on how to get started. If you’re facing similar issues, here’s how to unlock the Michael missions in GTA Online.
How to Unlock Michael Missions in GTA Online
To unlock GTA Online’s Michael missions, you’ll need to purchase a mansion and complete five tasks for Avi Schwartzman. These will be marked with an ‘A’ icon on the map, and involve visits to payphones scattered across Los Santos. These missions will only become active after you receive a text from unknown sender, as seen in the image above.
The tasks themselves see you damaging KnoWay property before pulling a mini-heist that offers a decent payout. Once all five missions are done, just wait outside of your newly-purchased mansion in free roam, and eventually, you’ll receive an invite to start the ‘Home Sweet Home’ mission. This is tied to Michael’s appearance in the DLC, and you’ll be transitioned into a cutscene featuring the character.
While the steps sound simple enough, keep in mind that you might have to wait anywhere between 15-45 minutes to receive Avi’s missions. After all five are completed, the ‘Home Sweet Home’ invite should appear on your phone within 15 minutes.
And that wraps up our guide on how to unlock the Michael missions in GTA Online. Let us know if the mission still aren’t triggering for you in the comments.
