GTA 5 Online: How to Start The Contract DLC

The Contract DLC has released for GTA 5 Online, bringing yet another swath of action-packed missions to the title that has dominated the test of time. The Contract DLC update is free to download for anyone who owns the game and introduces plenty of new characters, properties, jobs, vehicles and more to the online experience. In this guide, we’ll explain how to get it started.

How to Start The Contract DLC in GTA 5 Online

Before you can play, make sure you’ve downloaded the required 4GB patch that includes all of the new content. Once it is fully installed, load up GTA 5 and jump into an online lobby.

Once your character is loaded in, you can begin The Contract missions with just a little bit of prep work, though it will require you to throw down an absolute boatload of cash. Pull out your in-game phone and open up your internet browser. Navigate to Money and Services, then to the Dynasty 8 Executive website.

Here, you will have the ability to purchase an agency. There are four new agencies to buy, the cheapest of which costs $2,010,000. Depending on how much time you’ve put into GTA 5 Online, this may be chump change to you. If you’re short on cash, these missions aren’t going anywhere, so hit the streets and start making some money.

Once you have an agency purchased and owned, you are free to start taking up some jobs. To launch them, head to your agency to meet Franklin, who will ask that you get started on Contracts. Before you can start these jobs, you’ll need to set yourself as the CEO of the business. Luckily, this is incredibly easy, but expensive to do in GTA 5 Online.

You’ll need to own an office before you can register as a CEO, and Maze Bank West, the cheapest option, will set you back $1,000,000. Like the agency, you can purchase offices from the Dynasty 8 Executive website. Pick one you’d like and make the buy. We’re almost done.

Open up the interaction menu and scroll to SecuroServ, where you’ll have the option to register as a CEO. Because you have yourself an office, you can do this with just that click. Now, head to your agency and sit down at your office laptop, from which you can take on The Contract jobs.

It’s a bit expensive, but not too involved to jump into the new GTA 5 Online missions with The Contract DLC. If you’re interested in learning more about GTA 5 Online, we’ve got plenty of other guides to check out in our guides hub!
