GTA Online is filled with many activities where players can spend hundreds of hours. Based in the glitzy city of Los Santos, this online title is highly dynamic with the number of exclusive updates it has received so far, including the addition of the Treasure Hunt by Rockstar.

Treasure Hunt was added to GTA Online as part of The Doomsday Heist update, and has only become available since the enhanced version of the game. The entire hunt served as a teaser for the forthcoming release of Red Dead Redemption 2, another one of Rockstar’s action-adventure development.

Once the mission starts, players will receive an email from [email protected]. The message contains a black-and-white image of the location where the unidentified treasure is buried. A yellow question mark on the map denotes the area and clues may be found pinned to a tree, a rock, or any other object. Metal wind chimes can be heard when players are close to a clue.

Players must find three clue locations, guided by a map, which will get marked with a random treasure chest location after discovering all three clues. Upon completing the mission, a player will receive $5000 per clue and a deadly Double-Action Revolver to use in GTA Online.

After locating the clue from one of the above 20 random locations in Grand Theft Auto Online, three fixed clues can be found on:

  1. Tongva Hills cave, where a man's corpse can be found, clad in underwear, mismatched socks, and boots.

Upon locating all three clues mentioned above, the random location of the treasure chest will be marked on the GTA Online's map. It can be one of the following:

  1. Richman Glen
  2. Alamo Sea - North Calafia Way
  3. Paleto Cove

Arriving at the assigned random location will lead the player to two more corpses, a shovel, and a case marked with Boles Overland Stagecoach Company. The Double-Action Revolver lies inside this case, which players can use to wreak havoc in GTA Online.


It is essential to find the treasure chest before exiting GTA Online. If a player fails to do so, the entire mission will be reset, and a new hint location will be assigned to them, irrespective of the progress they previously made. Players can expect some kind of treasure hunt in the upcoming GTA sequel as well.
