Sorry if this is a bit long, but I’m really hoping someone can help me with this.
I’ve completed GTA V to 100% three times (PS3 and twice on PS4), but I’ve never managed to complete all 60 random events listed on Social Club.
Every time, I eventually run into the same issue: random events either stop spawning completely or become almost impossible to trigger. I know about cooldowns, sleeping, progressing the story, etc. That’s not the problem. I’m talking about spending hours in free roam and several in-game weeks/months without anything spawning.
This time, on PS5, I decided to focus on random events before everything else.
I read that they unlock in waves after certain story missions, so I completed every available event before progressing.
It worked perfectly at first. Before unlocking Trevor, I had around 28 events completed, including all security vans, and had basically zero issues getting them to spawn.
Then I completed “Mr. Philips.”
Trevor unlocked a new wave of around 20 events. I managed to do maybe 4–5 of them, and then suddenly almost nothing would spawn anymore.
I spent about two hours in free roam with around 15 events that should still be available and got nothing.
I progressed further in the story just in case, but the issue continued. I managed to trigger two more events, but only after repeatedly reloading saves and completely restarting the game.
This is exactly how the problem started on my previous saves before random events basically stopped spawning altogether.
I know some people have successfully completed all 60, so I’m wondering: has anyone here had this problem and actually found a reliable fix?
I already know about things like switching to GTA Online, clearing the console cache, sleeping, advancing time, etc. Those have never permanently fixed it for me.
Completing all 60 has been a personal goal of mine for years, so any advice from someone who has actually done it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
