GTA IV 100% completion checklist: missions, friends and collectibles
Find the categories that count toward Niko’s base-game completion percentage.
The original GTA IV base campaign starring Niko Bellic, including its PC Complete Edition version. The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have separate protagonists, activities and exclusive cheats. Cover artwork comes from Complete Edition; used gameplay pictures depict Niko.
Finish the story and track the remaining categories
The story contributes 60%; either ending works. The remaining categories are side activities, friendships and collectibles. Check Pause > Stats before cleanup and maintain a written checklist. A story finish and a 100% save are different milestones, so do not expect the credits to complete the counter.
Clear the job lists and police work
Complete Jacob’s 10 deliveries, the Fixer’s 9 assassinations, 10 Exotic Exports, Stevie’s 30 car thefts, all 9 distinct Brucie races, 20 Vigilante crimes and 30 Most Wanted targets. Track the three Most Wanted regional lists separately rather than repeating a list you already cleared.
Finish friends, encounters and minigames
Complete the required random-character strands, every available outing with Jacob, Brucie and Packie, and unlock their friendship benefits. Win pool, darts and a full bowling game, then beat the QUB3D high score. Optional encounters tied to sparing certain story characters are not required.
Close out all 250 collectible objectives
Destroy 200 pigeons and complete 50 stunt jumps. Mark each successful objective on a numbered map as you do it; merely attempting a jump is not enough. Roman’s taxi jobs, dating and the two Episodes’ separate completion lists do not fill missing base-game percentage.
