GTA 5 Enhanced Steam Achievements: Part 3
Contents
This is part three of the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Steam achievements list — eleven entries from the mid-rarity band, held by 10.4% to 7.6% of players. They didn’t make it into the rarest tier or the near-universal one: a noticeable minority of owners has them, but not a small handful.
The game has 77 Steam achievements in total. Below is what each of these eleven officially requires, according to the developer’s own description, and what the percentage next to it tells you.
Where to check your own progress in Steam
Two different places, and they’re easy to mix up.
- Your own progress — open the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced page in your Steam library and go to the achievements section. It shows what’s already credited to your account and what isn’t yet.
- Global statistics — on the separate achievement statistics page. That’s where Valve shows what share of the game’s owners has unlocked each achievement. Every percentage in this article comes from there.
The game’s own official page sits on Rockstar Games’ site — the publisher, not a fan resource. The achievement descriptions you read in Steam were written by the developer too.
How to read the percentage
The percentage is the share of owners, not active players and not people who reached the ending. So the number tells you about rarity, not directly about difficulty. An achievement can have a low percentage because it’s hard, because it belongs to a mode most people never enter, or because it takes a lot of hours.
Steam doesn’t explain why a given number is what it is, and neither will we. Within this batch the spread is narrow: 10.4% at the top, 7.6% at the bottom.
| Achievement | Players |
|---|---|
| To Live or Die in Los Santos | 10.4% |
| Full Refund | 10.4% |
| A New Perspective | 10.4% |
| The Big One! | 10.0% |
| Trading Pure Alpha | 10.0% |
| The Midnight Club | 9.9% |
| Four Way | 9.5% |
| Orbital Obliteration | 8.5% |
| Mastermind | 8.2% |
| Live a Little | 8.0% |
| Numero Uno | 7.6% |
Achievement names are left in English — that’s how they’re labelled in the game and in Steam, and that’s what you need to search for.
Achievements without an official description
Two of the eleven have to be presented honestly and briefly.
To Live or Die in Los Santos — 10.4% of players. No description is shown on the Steam statistics page.
The Big One! — 10.0% of players. No description shown here either.
That means exactly one thing: we know the name and the percentage, but not the official wording of the condition. We won’t fill it in from memory, fan wikis, or videos — this calls for a primary source, and there isn’t one.
Offline: first-person and the stock market
Two achievements whose descriptions carry no GTA Online tag.
A New Perspective — 10.4% of players. The official description requires spending 15 hours in GTA V in first-person mode. This isn’t a skill challenge but a time counter: the game simply tracks how long you’ve played with the first-person camera. If you’re used to the third-person view, the achievement won’t progress on its own — you need to deliberately keep first-person mode switched on. The description doesn’t explain how to toggle the camera; settings are covered in a separate guide on controls and accessibility.
Trading Pure Alpha — 10.0% of players. The description: come out ahead on the total amount invested in the stock market. So it’s not a single successful trade that counts, but the overall balance: total invested against total returned. The official description contains no advice on which stocks to buy or when to sell — Steam only gives you the wording of the condition.
GTA Online: seven conditions with a direct tag
The remaining seven descriptions all open with a GTA Online tag — meaning they’re completed in the online mode.
Full Refund — 10.4% of players. Condition: kill a mugger who has robbed you. One specific action in response to a specific event.
The Midnight Club — 9.9% of players. Condition: win 5 races using customised vehicles. The description specifically requires customised cars, not any vehicle.
Four Way — 9.5% of players. Condition: as the leader of a heist, set the cut in the final mission to 25% for every player. This is a decision made in the payout-split settings, not a combat task.
Orbital Obliteration — 8.5% of players. Condition: kill another player with the orbital cannon.
Mastermind — 8.2% of players. Condition: earn 25 gold medals across heist setup missions and finales. The longest-format online achievement in this batch: the medals build up gradually.
Live a Little — 8.0% of players. Condition: spend a combined total of $8,000,000 on vehicles from The Heists Update. This is a purely monetary threshold — for ways to earn money in the online mode, see the separate guide on earning money in GTA Online.
Numero Uno — 7.6% of players, the rarest in this instalment. Condition: place first in every competitive game type. The official description doesn’t spell out exactly which modes count as “competitive”.
If the online mode is new to you, it’s worth starting with the guide on getting started in GTA Online.
What we’re not claiming
⚠️ It’s worth drawing this line clearly.
- We don’t give step-by-step instructions. Steam publishes the condition, not the method. Where the orbital cannon is located, which car to buy, in what order to take the races — the official source is silent, and so are we.
- We don’t name missions, coordinates, or completion times. None of that data appears in the descriptions.
- We don’t explain the conditions for the two achievements without a description. “To Live or Die in Los Santos” and “The Big One!” are left with just their names and percentages.
- We don’t repeat fan wikis, guidebooks, or videos. They can be useful, but they aren’t a primary source, and putting them on the same level as the developer’s own description would be misleading.
- The percentages are a snapshot, not a constant. This is a figure from the Steam statistics page, and Valve recalculates it as the pool of owners changes.
The full list is split into parts: part 1, part 2, and the hardest tier is covered separately in the rarest achievements.
In short
Eleven GTA V Enhanced achievements in the 10.4%–7.6% range: seven of them online, two tied to single-player, and two more that Steam shows without any description at all. Conditions come from the official wording; Rockstar doesn’t publish how to actually pull them off.
Frequently asked questions
How many achievements does GTA V Enhanced have in total?
Seventy-seven. That figure appears on the game's Steam statistics page, which lists every achievement together with the share of owners who've unlocked it.
Where can I see which achievements I've already earned?
Open the game's page in your Steam library and go to the achievements section of your profile — it shows what's already been credited and what hasn't. Global percentages are shown on a separate stats page for the game.
What does the percentage next to an achievement mean?
It's the share of game owners who've unlocked it. Valve counts owners, not people actively playing, so the percentage tells you about rarity rather than difficulty directly.
Why do some achievements have no description?
Steam's statistics page doesn't show a description for every entry. "To Live or Die in Los Santos" and "The Big One!" have none, and we're not adding our own guesses about what they require.
Which of these achievements relate to GTA Online?
Seven of the eleven: "Full Refund", "The Midnight Club", "Four Way", "Orbital Obliteration", "Mastermind", "Live a Little" and "Numero Uno" — their official descriptions all open with a GTA Online tag.
Are these the hardest achievements in the game?
No. This is the mid-band: 10.4% down to 7.6% of players. The rarest and most common ones are covered in separate articles.
