GTA Online Treasure Hunt locations in 2023 - A beginner's guide

Treasure Hunt is one of GTA Online's secret missions. Rockstar Games released the event in December 2017 as a promotional event to tease the then-unreleased Red Dead Redemption 2. Although RDR 2 was released nearly five years ago, the gaming studio decided to keep the event going indefinitely.

It is one of the first missions new players encounter when joining GTA Online. Rockstar designed the event complexly, with numerous clues scattered across the map. Finding all the clues and solving the mystery unlocks a unique revolver in the game.

This article explains how to get started with the Treasure Hunt event in 2023 and its locations in GTA Online.
