How do I switch between Michael and Franklin?

Answered by Tom Adger

To switch between Michael and Franklin in GTA 5, follow these steps:

1. While playing the game, hold down on the d-pad on your controller. This will bring up the character-switch menu.

2. Once the character-switch menu is displayed, use the right analog stick to navigate between the three available characters: Franklin, Trevor, and Michael.

3. Move the right analog stick towards the character you want to switch to. For example, if you want to switch to Michael, move the stick towards him.

4. As you move the stick, you will see a highlighted ring around each character’s icon on the character-switch menu. Keep moving the stick until the ring surrounds the desired character’s icon.

5. Release the d-pad to confirm the character switch. The game will now switch to the selected character, and you will assume control over them.

It’s important to note that you can only switch between characters when you are not in a mission or during certain specific moments in the game. Additionally, each character has their own unique abilities and skills, so switching between them can be advantageous in different situations.

For example, Franklin has the ability to slow down time while driving, Trevor has increased damage and special melee attacks, and Michael has the ability to slow down time in combat.

Switching between characters can be a useful strategy during missions, as you can utilize each character’s strengths to overcome various challenges and complete objectives more efficiently.

It’s also worth mentioning that each character has their own separate storyline and side missions, so switching between them allows you to experience the game from different perspectives and explore their individual stories.

The character-switch feature adds depth and variety to the gameplay experience in GTA 5, allowing you to switch seamlessly between characters to suit your playstyle and objectives.
