How to get Treasure Hunt mission in GTA 5 Online
All that you need to do is to enter a freeroam lobby in GTA Online and wait. The game would send you an email to notify the Treasure Hunt mission.
1. How to start the Treasure Hunt
You know it starts when you get an email from vanderlinde@eyefind.com which contains a monochrome picture of a certain area in GTA 5 Online. And what you have to do is finding clues on where the treasure is.
After you open the email and look at the picture, the Treasure Hunt side missions will begin.
FYI, the pic you are receiving is only one possible place in the GTA 5 Online Treasure Hunt locations map.
2. How many Treasure Hunts are in GTA 5 Online?
There are 20 locations of Treasure Hunt in GTA 5 Online in total, and the game randomly picks the one you get.
In these Treasure Hunt locations, you will find three different objects:
- A corpse with a head injury
- An empty gun case
- A shovel that killed the person whose corpse you'll find
Reminder: This mission can be done only once. If you quit your game for any reason before completing the quest, you will need to start again from the beginning.
