Martin Madrazo Missions

Martin Madrazo is a Los Santos crime boss who leaves the dirty work to you. His jobs are mostly assassinations, hijacked shipments and escorts, and they range widely in tone: a shipyard raid in one, a jet dogfight in the next. They are some of the higher-ranked contact jobs in the game, starting at rank 18 and running to rank 81, and most of them take up to 4 players.

How to start

Madrazo’s jobs unlock by rank. On the List opens first at rank 18, and the rest follow through the 20s, 30s and 40s, with the last, Trash Talk, at rank 81. Each one appears as a phone call from Martin or in the job list in the Pause Menu. Jobs from the same rank can be played in any order. Effin’ Lazers is the only job that needs exactly 2 players.

Payouts follow the standard contact-job rules: there is a maximum for the job’s rank, and it falls the longer you take. The table shows the top payout and RP for each job. Martin also has a separate group of Madrazo Dispatch Services jobs that are available from rank 1.

Tips for these jobs

On the List is the opener: four marked targets against a ten-minute clock, and a fifth man whose location you only get once the others are down. Bring a car you trust and a good weapon, because the targets are spread across the city. Handle with Care is a night operation at a shipyard where you clear the smugglers, steal their coke and take two boats up the coast. Pick a rifle for the shipyard and keep the boats moving once you are in the water.

Effin’ Lazers puts you in jets, so you will need steady aim and a feel for flying. You shoot down cargo planes against a clock, then deal with the helicopters that follow before flying the jets home to Sandy Shores Airfield. Dry Docking has you crack a safe aboard a boat, so keep an eye on the clock while you work.

The late jobs are heavy on aircraft. Defender at rank 70 has you fly a helicopter to the airport, meet an associate and escort him to Sandy Shores Airfield, while Judging the Jury at rank 65 sends you in an attack helicopter after a list of targets, with the police to lose at the end.
