5 best GTA Online contact missions to play in the snow

GTA Online contact missions feel completely different when the game is covered in snow, and that's why players always come back to certain ones during the winter event. Slippery roads and unpredictable AI make these missions way more memorable than they are during normal weather.

If you want to embrace the snowy chaos instead of fighting it, these five GTA Online contact missions are the most fun to replay when everything turns white.

Listing five best GTA Online contact missions to play in the snow

1) Diamonds Are for Trevor

This mission already has great atmosphere, and snow makes it even better. Trevor sends you to Paleto Bay to steal a diamond shipment guarded by heavily armed Merryweather soldiers. Fighting them in the snow feels slower and more tactical, especially when Advanced Rifles start firing everywhere.

Once you grab the diamonds, things get intense fast. You're forced onto a boat and sent across icy waters toward North Chumash while Merryweather choppers and dinghies chase you. Snowy seas and constant incoming fire turn this delivery into one of the most intense winter-friendly contact missions in the game.

2) Chopper Tail

Chopper Tail works well in snow because most of it happens in open countryside. You wait in dune buggies near Sandy Shores, watching the sky for a police helicopter heading toward one of Trevor's meth labs. Snow makes tracking the chopper harder and makes driving the buggies feel loose and unpredictable.

The shootout at the meth lab in Great Chaparral feels different in winter too. Snow-covered terrain limits your view of cover, and escaping with the stolen Granger while police close in feels way more tense. The mission's locked midday time keeps the lighting consistent, which actually makes snowy environments look even better.

3) Base Invaders

Snow and Fort Zancudo are a perfect combination of chaos and spectacle. You start by flying Ron's Velum toward the base, which already feels risky when visibility is bad. Destroying the parked LAZER jets while snow falls around you adds a cinematic feel that this mission normally doesn't have.

Once you're detected, the mission goes into full survival mode. Infinite soldiers spawn, and snowy ground makes movement inside the base slower and more dangerous. Stealing the Cargobob and escaping while the base is still on high alert is stressful in the best way, especially when everything around you is white and hard to read quickly.

4) Lost MC RIP

This one works well with snow purely because of where it takes place. The Hill Valley Church cemetery in Pacific Bluffs looks eerie under snowfall, and the gunfight against The Lost MC feels more grounded and brutal as a result.

Cover matters more here than usual. Snow makes it harder to spot bikers moving between graves, and the tight space forces close-range fights. It's a shorter mission compared to others on this list, but the atmosphere alone makes it worth replaying during winter.

5) Meth'd Up

Meth'd Up in GTA Online contact missions turns into controlled chaos once snow shows up. You steal a meth-filled Journey from Liquor Ace, and once the chase starts, things get wild. Rednecks chasing you on Sanchez bikes and BF Injections struggle badly on icy roads, which creates unpredictable pile-ups and crashes.

Driving the RV itself feels heavier in snow, especially when you're trying to keep control while being rammed. By the time you reach the drop-off behind You Tool, the mission usually feels more hectic than it should, which is why it's so fun in winter.
