How this list was put together
Stated totals: gtabase 59 story missions (asset and payphone missions included, intro cutscene not numbered); gta.wiki "38 story, 19 asset, 6 racing, 5 phone, 3 stadium ... total 86" (includes side activities; its own table does not add up exactly); grandtheftwiki "66 main story missions and 21 side missions". This file lists the 59 that gtabase and gta.wiki both list.
Structure: opening strands (Rosenberg, Cortez, Avery, Diaz, Kent Paul) up to Rub Out; then Vercetti Estate strand, gang strands (Umberto Robina, Auntie Poulet, Love Fist, Mitch Baker), asset businesses, Mr. Black payphone hits; finale Cap the Collector + Keep Your Friends Close. Phnom Penh '86 opens the mainland; Guardian Angels opens Starfish Island.
REQUIRED follows gtabase flags (gta.wiki gives none). Asset missions are marked N individually, but the finale needs the Print Works strand plus several other completed assets (grandtheftwiki: Cap the Collector unlocks after Hit the Courier and 5 other assets), so some asset strands must be done. gtabase is internally inconsistent on the required count (24 in one place, 20 in its FAQ); 22 rows are flagged Y here.
AREA is filled only where at least two sources name a place for the mission (mostly the mission location, not the giver's marker); otherwise blank. Sources do not give start districts per strand.
