Franklin And Lamar's Short Trips

Franklin And Lamar's Short Trips are a series of Contact Missions in GTA Online, given by Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton.

This job has been added to the game as part of the 1.58 The Contract update on December 15, 2021, and is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

This is a Co-Op mode that can be played by 2 players.

It’s been quite some time since Franklin Clinton and his notorious accomplices knocked over the biggest targets in Southern San Andreas. Since then, Franklin’s put down roots in Los Santos — getting married, starting a family, and even wearing a suit to work. Meanwhile, Lamar just got high. But now it’s LD’s time to come up, and he’s laying the groundwork for a legit, above-board business of his own, if he can just pull it together...

These are special missions in which two GTA Online players temporarily take control of Franklin Clinton and Lamar Davis.

The first Short Trip mission is initiated by visiting the "Record A Studios" where the players will sit down with DJ Pooh, Franklin, and Lamar to smoke LD Organics weed. The players pass out and have an "out-of-body experience", putting them in control of Franklin and Lamar.

The second and third trips and subsequent trip replays are initiated by the host entering the studio and using the green Corona outside the smoking room.

These missions initially became available after completing The Contract: Dr. Dre as Leader, however they've later been made available to all players from the Pause Menu as regular Contact Missions.
