One of the most awesome things about the Grand Theft Auto games is just how massive the maps really are. It may be referred to as a sandbox game, but make no mistake, it's one huge sandbox. And when you're running around in an area that big, there's bound to be a few secrets hidden around.
GTA has become famous for including many secrets and Easter eggs, and GTA V is no different. In fact, this entry in the series might just be the game that is packed with the most hidden locations, random encounters, and pop culture references. There are almost too many to list, and some are well-known to gamers. Others are found only by the most diligent and determined players - those who are willing to truly dig deep into Los Santos to find all of its hidden treasures.
Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore fanatic of the GTA franchise, you're almost guaranteed to find some secrets in this list that you're unaware of. We'll be taking you on a journey through the highs and lows of Los Santos, from its cloudy skies to its deepest waters. Because everywhere you look, there's a secret waiting to be found.
Some of these secrets have only been seen by a few select few. Some of the secrets remained unsolved to some extent. Even though GTA V is a slightly old game these days, players are continuing to find new secrets each and every day.
Here are 20 Hidden Things Only Experts Found In Grand Theft Auto V.
1)An Alien Under The Bridge Aliens have always been a pretty big part of the GTA franchise, and in almost every entry, there has been some mention of aliens or UFOs. Most of the time, you really have to hunt for these secrets and Easter eggs, making them incredibly rewarding for gamers to seek out.
This time, players didn't exactly have to work very hard to find an alien. In the very first scene of the game, during the prologue, players simply need to drive under the bridge to find an alien clearly preserved under the ice.
It seems that the developers of this game wanted to hide one of the best secrets in a place where no one would look - right at the beginning.
2)How To Find The UFOs Just like the aliens, UFOs have long been a trademark of the GTA franchise, popping up in random spots and shocking gamers through the decades. This continues with GTA V, and there are actually four separate UFOs to seek out. But there's a catch.
Three of these UFOs only appear after the player has achieved 100% completion of the game.
The solitary UFO that is on the map right from the beginning isn't even in the air. Instead, it's actually crashed underwater on the north side of the map. The other three appear at Sandy Shores, near Fort Zancudo, and finally at Mount Chiliad.
3)There's A Ghost On Mount Gordo Fans of the GTA franchise know that things can get a little weird in these games. Sometimes the missions can get seriously wacky and leave us wondering about what the developers were thinking.
During the days of San Andreas, we spent hours dealing with the supernatural in places like Area 51, among others. While the games have toned down the weirdness factor a little in recent years, GTA V is still full of oddities - but only if you know where to look.
Veterans of the fifth installment will know all about the ghost of Mount Gordo, a legendary occurrence that happens around 11pm. The ghost has an entire backstory, and her name was Jolene Cranely-Evans.
4)The Infinite 8 Mystery Usually, when we find a secret in the GTA games, there's not much actual gameplay involved. We simply see a cool pop culture reference, chuckle to ourselves, and move on. There is, in fact one secret which sends players on a wild scavenger hunt, and that's the Infinity villain.
Instead of just stumbling onto a weird scene, players can actually follow the secrets around as if they were a set of clues, leading them to the criminal.
Graffiti and creepy nursery rhymes lead the player all over the map, until finally they reach a cell block in the prison.
Word on the street is the Infinity villain perished in that prison cell, but this is one GTA mystery that remains unsolved.
5)The Collector's Edition Map Has All The Secrets This isn't really a secret per se, but it's a pretty crucial piece of information for all you GTA treasure hunters out there. If you want to find all of the secrets in the world of GTA V, there's a map that shows all of the points of interest.
No, we're not talking about an online map or walkthrough, we're talking about a real, physical map. This is, of course, the map that came with the collector's edition version of GTA V.
Although it might look like another normal map, the truth is that it's filled with secrets. These secrets are only visible under the exposure of a black light, however. The map includes hints about how to find UFOs, hidden areas, and much more.
6)The GTA Version Of The Bermuda Triangle Most people know about the real life legend of the Bermuda Triangle, but few of us are aware that there's actually a version of this in GTA V. For those who don't know, the Bermuda Triangle is an area off the coast of Florida famous for all manner of strange and unexplained phenomena. Ships have gone missing, planes have completely disappeared, and things generally get a little weird when people enter the Bermuda Triangle.
The GTA version is located in Paleto Bay, and many players have noticed its effects while playing GTA V Online.
Basically, as soon as you enter this area, you are teleported backwards, without your vehicles. Certain things might go missing from your inventory as well.
