"Investigate all clues to find the treasure."

- Mission description.

Treasure Hunt is a mission in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto Online added as part of The Doomsday Heist update. It served as a teaser for the forthcoming release of .

Description
A random email is sent to the GTA Online Protagonist from vanderlinde@eyefind.com, showing a black and white photo of an area to search for a clue to find an unspecified treasure.

If the player exits Online Mode or closes the game while the treasure hunt is not finished, then the entire mission will reset and a new hint note location will be assigned when online free mode is started again, regardless of the overall progress.

Photo Clue
The photo will be one of 20 locations picked at random. It will be marked on the map with a yellow question mark. The search radius for the initial search is very wide. The clue is a note, pinned to a rock, tree or other object, and will be within the area pictured in the photo sent to the player's phone. When getting closer to the clue, the sound of a metal wind chime can be heard. Upon finding this clue, the player will have three more clue locations marked on their map.

Three Clues
The player then has to visit three clues. The three set clues may be found in any order.
 * 1) A corpse clad only in underwear, boots and mismatched socks with a severe head injury in a small cave near a creek in the Tongva Hills.
 * 2) A bloody Shovel (clearly the murder weapon) in a wrecked building on the beach at Sandy Shores.
 * 3) An empty gun case at the base of a tree on Joad Lane in Grapeseed.

Treasure Chest
After finding all three clues, the random location of a treasure chest will be marked on the player's map.

On arrival the player will find two more corpses, another shovel and a case marked with Boles Overland Stagecoach Company. Opening the case will reveal the Double-Action Revolver.

Rewards

 * Double-Action Revolver
 * $5000 per clue

Headshot Challenge
Get 50 headshots (PvP or PvE) with the Double-Action Revolver to get the other two rewards. Headshots can be completed in missions or jobs allowing gunplay.

Rewards
Note: The treasure hunt can be completed by both online characters to unlock the weapon but the headshot challenge is combined across both characters so there will only be one $250,000 awarded per account.
 * $250,000
 * An exclusive weapon unlock in Rockstar Games' forthcoming Red Dead Redemption II for Rockstar Social Club linked accounts.
