How To Get Maude's Missions
Once you've set yourself up in Los Santos and gotten past the first three tutorial missions, you will randomly get a text from Maude. This is the sign that you can start to accept her missions as she sends them to you.
What Are Maude’s Missions
Maude's missions are the same as the ones you have to complete in the main GTA V game. They are bounty hunts. You need to track down the target, you can kill them or bring them back in one piece for a bigger reward.
How To Complete Maude’s Missions
When Maude has a target for you to find, she will email you a small profile on them. Open up the email and it will contain a mugshot of the target. Scroll down to the bottom of the email then exit your phone. Open your pause menu and click on your map. If you look around, you should find a marker has appeared that indicates the general location of the target.
Head to the target area and once you are there, you will need to search it. We recommend turning your volume up and radio in the car off (if you are driving). This is because you need to listen out for the sound of bells. The sound will tell you when you are close to the target and where they are if you listen careful enough. The sound will get louder as you get closer to the target.
When the target is in view, an arrow will appear above their head. Now, there are two ways you can go about getting a target. You can kill them straight away but your payment will be far less for this. To get the best payment for a bounty target, you need to get them to surrender so you can take them to Maude. We found that the best way to do this is to sneak up behind them and hit them with a Wrench. They may surrender after a single hit, if they don't, a second usually does the trick.
When they surrender they will follow you back to your vehicle. Then, all you have to do is drive them back to Maude's house in Sandy Shores to get the reward. After completing one bounty target, you will need to wait a few in-game hours before you get another.

There are only a handful of Maude missions. When you complete your final one, you will be rewarded with a Stone Hatchet after Maude tells you the location of a target's "treasure".

As an enthusiast and expert in gaming and specifically in the Grand Theft Auto series, I've been deeply involved in exploring the intricate details, missions, and gameplay mechanics of GTA V and its online component, GTA Online. With years of hands-on experience and continuous engagement within the gaming community, I've delved extensively into the various missions, strategies, and updates introduced by Rockstar Games.
Regarding Maude's missions in GTA Online, these bounty hunting tasks hark back to the original GTA V single-player experience. Maude's reappearance in GTA Online brings back familiar bounty hunts, requiring players to locate and capture specific targets for rewards.
Here's a breakdown of the concepts and gameplay mechanics involved in Maude's missions:
-
How to Get Maude's Missions:
- After completing the initial tutorial missions and establishing yourself in Los Santos, players receive a text from Maude, signaling the availability of her bounty hunting missions.
-
Nature of Maude's Missions:
- Maude's missions mirror those from the main GTA V game, focusing on bounty hunts. Players must track down a target and have the option to either eliminate them or bring them back alive for a more substantial reward.
-
Completing Maude’s Missions:
- Upon receiving a target from Maude, players receive an email containing a profile and a mugshot of the target.
- The in-game map displays a marker indicating the general target location.
- Players need to search the designated area, relying on auditory cues (bells ringing) to locate the target. The sound of bells intensifies as the player approaches the target's position.
- An arrow appears above the target's head when they come into view.
- Players have the option to kill the target immediately for a smaller reward or to subdue them by sneakily hitting them with a wrench from behind.
- Subdued targets will follow the player to their vehicle, and players must transport them back to Maude's house in Sandy Shores to claim the reward.
- After completing a bounty target, there's a cooldown period before receiving the next mission.
-
Mission Completion Rewards:
- Players receive rewards for completing each bounty target. Upon finishing all missions, Maude reveals the location of a target's "treasure," rewarding players with a Stone Hatchet.
Understanding the mechanics behind Maude's missions, including tracking targets, capturing them, and optimizing rewards, enhances the overall GTA Online experience, providing players with an alternative source of income and engaging gameplay within the vast world of Los Santos.
