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 Red Dead Redemption 2.
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.
Objectives[]
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.
- 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.
- A bloody Shovel (clearly the murder weapon) in a wrecked building on the beach at Sandy Shores.
- 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 [1]
- $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[]
- $250,000
- An exclusive weapon unlock in Rockstar Games' forthcoming Red Dead Redemption II for Rockstar Social Club linked accounts.
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.
