Two New Vincent Dispatch Work Missions Drop With A Safehouse in the Hills Update
New Dispatch Work Just Landed
If you've been grinding Vincent's Dispatch Work lately, Rockstar just gave us a little more to chew on. The A Safehouse in the Hills update brought two fresh missions to the roster, and GTA Series Videos already has walkthroughs up for anyone who wants to see what they're getting into before diving in.
Mission #7 - Protective Custody
Kicks off at the 0:12 mark in their video. Without spoiling too much, you're looking at another classic Vincent-style gig where things probably won't go as smoothly as planned. It's Dispatch Work, so expect the usual mix of driving, shooting, and trying not to get absolutely wrecked by NPCs who seemingly never miss.
Mission #8 - Civil Forfeiture
This one starts around the 5:11 mark. The name alone tells you everything about the vibe — if you've been around GTA Online long enough, you know exactly what kind of trouble this involves. Let's just say asset seizure is a two-way street in Los Santos.
Quick Thoughts
It's cool that Rockstar is continuing to expand the Dispatch Work side of things. Vincent has become a surprisingly solid contact for solo players or duo teams who want something structured but don't have time to commit to a full heist setup. These two new additions bring the total count up to eight missions now, which is a decent chunk of content if you're working through them all.
If you need a full rundown of every Dispatch Work mission in one place, GTA Series Videos has a complete compilation here, and they're keeping everything organized in their A Safehouse in the Hills playlist too.
Have you played through Protective Custody or Civil Forfeiture yet, and how do they stack up against the earlier Dispatch Work missions?

More Dispatch Work is cool and all, but I'm still salty we can't use personal vehicles on these gigs. Imagine rolling up to Civil Forfeiture in a fully built Sultan RS with a turbo swap instead of whatever stock boat Vincent hands you. The NPC aimbot would still melt you, but at least you'd look proper doing it. That said, the driving sections in these missions are where it's at — finally a reason to actually care about handling stats instead of just min-maxing lap times.
Been running these with Radio Mirror Park on the dial and honestly the mood is perfect for Vincent's whole dirty cop aesthetic. Civil Forfeiture especially — there's something about tearing through Vineland Hills to Wavedriver while seizing assets that just clicks. Earlier dispatch missions felt more like Channel X territory, but these two have a smoother, tenser groove. Good needle drops for night sessions.
Finally got around to both of them last night. Civil Forfeiture has this one stretch where you're hauling cargo through the hills and the physics get weird — took a corner too fast near a cliff edge and my vehicle basically magnetized to the road surface instead of tumbling. Has anyone else noticed that? Felt like they tweaked the grip values for that section specifically.
Protective Custody is solid but the NPC accuracy is brutal on hard mode. That said, I did manage to get one of the escort targets stuck behind a dumpster near the drop-off point, which bought me enough time to clear reinforcements. Unintentional, but helpful. Curious if that's reproducible or if I just got lucky with the pathing.
Ran both last night. Civil Forfeiture is the better designed of the two — the asset seizure angle gives it a structural rhythm that reminds me of Three Leaf Clover's escalating chaos, where each phase piles on pressure. Protective Custody is solid but falls into the "drive here, shoot that" rut a bit too fast.
Eight missions total is a good foundation, but I'm hoping Vincent gets something with more narrative weight eventually. The dispatch format works for quick sessions, but the best GTA missions always mix gameplay variety with character moments. Right now these feel more like side activities than memorable story beats.
