GTA Online Dispatch Missions involve carrying out various assassinations, eliminating targets at the behest of Cartel kingpin Martin Madrazo to protect his illicit business dealings. There are a total of six different contact missions for you to complete for Madrazo in GTA Online, and it's up to you whether you recruit up to three other players to work together with on the hit, or approach it solo so you can retain complete control over the situation. There are multiple routes to initiate these assignments, so here's everything that you need to know about completing Dispatch Missions in GTA Online.

There are two main ways to start Dispatch Missions in GTA Online, with the most obvious being to visit Martin Madrazo's compound in person. This should be marked with a Mz icon on your map at all times, and is found in the Vinewood Hills area almost directly north of the Diamond Casino and Racetrack.

When you arrive at La Fuente Blanca, Martin Madrazo's ranch, you'll see a yellow mission marker at the bottom of the driveway by the entrance to the property. Approach this then follow the Enter prompt by tapping right on the d-pad, which will then take you to one of the six GTA Online Dispatch Missions at random.

Alternatively, you can access Dispatch Missions in GTA Online by opening the pause menu, then going to the Online tab and selecting Jobs > Play Job > Rockstar Created > Missions before scrolling down to Dispatch I - Dispatch VI. The advantage here is that you can launch Dispatch Missions from anywhere, and also choose which of the six missions you undertake instead of start one randomly – handy if there's specific hits you want to complete.

Once you initiate a Dispatch Mission in GTA Online, you'll be taken to the familiar launch screen where you set the difficulty, stock up on ammo and armor, then matchmake for accomplices. Although you can join up to three other players for the hit, you can now take it on solo as well if you prefer to work alone. Start the mission and you'll be directed towards your assassination target, who usually has guards protecting them, so it's up to you if you take a stealthy approach to catch them unawares or go in all guns blazing. Eliminate your target, lose the heat, and you can tick another Dispatch Mission off your list.
