The type of encounter is often determined by the color of the dot that appears on the map. A blue dot indicates a non-hostile encounter, a red indicates a hostile, while an alternating blue/red dot indicates something involving the police. Of course, depending on the encounter and the player's actions, the color of the icon may change.

This article needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of the GTA Wiki.

Random Events are encounters and short missions which spawn randomly throughout the San Andreas Map in Grand Theft Auto V. Random events often allow the player to make a dynamic choice and decide whether to help or hinder a bystander. There are a total of 57 random Events in GTA V and any 14 of these contribute towards 100% Completion.

The type of encounter is often determined by the color of the dot that appears on the map. A blue dot indicates a non-hostile encounter, a red indicates a hostile, while an alternating blue/red dot indicates something involving the police. Of course, depending on the encounter and the player's actions, the color of the icon may change.
