It's 2024, and all GTA 5 Treasure Hunt locations are still available in online multiplayer, giving players a chance to explore different places in Los Santos where they have possibly never been before and find a hidden reward simultaneously. The developer Rockstar Games basically added this activity in 2017 to tease the release of Red Dead Redemption.
The reward for completing the Treasure Hunt is a Double-Action Revolver, a weapon based on the real-life Colt M1892. This is the only way to unlock it in Grand Theft Auto Online. However, finding the exact GTA Online Treasure Hunt locations won't be easy for anyone who hasn't done it before. This makes knowing their coordinates a priority before starting this collectible activity.
That said, the article serves as a guide to help players how to find GTA 5 Treasure Hunt locations, uncover a clue note, and finally get the reward.

It's not as easy as it sounds as the image will be black and white, so matching it with the game's map could be difficult for some if they don't know where to look for.
