In Grand Theft Auto V random characters are known as Strangers and Freaks. They take elements from the Strangers featured in Red Dead Redemption, which means that even after starting one of this side missions, the player is still free to roam around the map and complete other missions. There are a total of 58 Strangers and Freaks missions, though only a specific 20 of them are required for 100% Completion. PSN ID: LuparoTV / Anfuso87. More Videos from LuparoTV:.
