Quick Answer
Handle strangers and side activities by protagonist. You can sample map markers when they appear, but you do not need to finish every chain immediately. Cleanup is smoother once the full map and stronger tools are available.
Activity Timing
| Type | When To Do It |
|---|---|
| Character strangers | Do a few after unlock to understand each side route |
| Races and flight school | Batch after driving or flight control improves |
| Shooting range | Clean up once more weapons are available |
| Random events | Do them naturally; avoid forcing spawns early |
| 100% activities | Pair with post-story collectible cleanup |
Map Cleanup Method
Use both character and region. Pick one protagonist, clear nearby strangers, activities, and collectibles, then move to another region instead of swapping constantly.
