Beverly Paparazzo — The Highness Gold Medal — GTA 5

In the world of Grand Theft Auto V, the paparazzi game just got a royal twist. Join Franklin Clinton as he navigates the high-stakes world of celebrity photography in Paparazzo – The Highness, where capturing the perfect shot of Princess Georgina’s illicit activities becomes a mission of stealth and precision. Dive into this guide to master the art of snapping incriminating photos without getting caught, and unlock the secrets to achieving a Gold Medal in this thrilling Strangers & Freaks mission.

Availability: Franklin

Location: This mission becomes available after the completion of the Paparazzo – The Partnership. You need to wait until you receive a message from Beverly. You can now go to the green circle shown in the screenshot, located in the North-Eastern part of Los Santos. More precisely, it is the Mirror park.

The place to start climbing

After you come close to the starting point of this mission, you will receive a phone call from Beverly to inform you that the word is that Georgina – a celebrity, is going to buy drugs. The paparazzo will want to catch he r red handed, of course, and he will task you with doing that. On your car, reach the Chico’s Supermarket and listen to the conversation with Beverly’s contact. Take a look around the main entrance behind the container that you can climb onto. Climb onto the store’s roof and start sneaking.

You eventually need to reach the edge of the roof, above the backalley behind the store, i.e. the location where Georgina makes the deal (the above screenshot). Select your phone from the inventory, activate the camera (SnapMatic) and wait for the dealer to hand the package to one of Georgina’s bodyguards. Only then, take a picture and send it over to Beverly. Carefully, jump down from the roof and walk away from the place where you took the picture. Talking to Beverly will conclude this mission.

Rewards for completing the mission: none

Requirements for the completion of the mission in 100%:

• Silent Snapper – You need to take the picture and remain undetected. Remember to initiate the sneak mode right after you climb onto the store’s rooftop.
• Royal Drag – You need to take a picture of the celebrity only after one of her bodyguards receives the package.

What are the key challenges in completing the Paparazzo mission

Completing the Paparazzo missions in Grand Theft Auto V, particularly Paparazzo – The Highness, involves several key challenges:

1. Stealth and Positioning: In Paparazzo – The Highness, the main challenge is to remain undetected while capturing incriminating photos of Princess Georgina. This requires precise positioning on the roof of Chico’s Market to get a clear shot without being seen by the princess’s bodyguards3.

2. Timing: The mission demands timing the photo capture perfectly to coincide with the drug exchange. This requires patience and attention to detail to ensure the photo clearly shows the transaction3.

3. Chasing and Competition: In the initial Paparazzo mission, challenges include keeping up with a limousine to allow Beverly to take photos and dealing with a rival paparazzo who appears mid-mission. You must chase and take out this rival efficiently to complete the mission successfully.

4. Vehicle Control: Maintaining close proximity to the limousine while driving at high speeds is crucial for capturing quality photos. This requires good vehicle control and spatial awareness to avoid accidents and keep Beverly in position.
