You do not need to drive to a specific location on the map to find these two characters. The game unlocks Chris Goss and Dynamite MC automatically after you adjust your audio settings and listen to the correct radio station. A new fast method allows you to trigger this event in just a few seconds, rather than waiting an hour.
Many players also look for the right steps to meet Takehiro Sato as part of this same “Friends” category. You might find yourself completing multiple challenges easily if you know the right tricks.
What we cover:
The Instant Trigger Trick (Fast Method)
Recent player discoveries reveal a trick to bypass the long wait times. You can force the game to unlock the characters almost immediately.
Drive your car to a completely open area on the map. You need to be in freeroam for this to work properly. Next, open your audio settings and make an unusual adjustment. You must lower the Master volume entirely to zero. At the same time, keep your Music volume turned up high. Make sure Radio DJs is enabled and Streamer mode is disabled.
Once your settings match this exact setup, switch your station to Hospital Records Radio. A Skill song will start playing within a few seconds. The game registers this event instantly and completes the Friends challenge for you.
Audio Settings Required
If the fast trick does not work for you, you can use the traditional waiting method. You should verify these options in your menu before you start your drive.
| Setting | Required State |
|---|---|
| Master volume | Not muted |
| Music volume | Turned on (The radio will not work properly if the music is silent.) |
| Radio DJ | Enabled (so the game registers the hosts) |
| Streamer mode | Disabled |
How to Complete the Challenge Normally
Once you verify your normal settings, open your radio menu and switch to Hospital Records Radio. This channel acts as the normal trigger for the challenge.
Drive around the world and play the game as you usually would. The unlock happens once a Skill song starts playing on this specific station. Because this event happens randomly, you might get it in 10 minutes, or you might need to wait for over an hour. Do not worry if it takes some time. The game recognizes your listening duration and completes the task for you eventually.
