Context before tactics
Rockstar hides GTA 5 all collectibles map in places that reward curiosity - rooftops, sea floors, the backs of billboards - and the reward is usually a vehicle, a mission or a trophy you cannot get any other way.
Several collectible sets unlock exclusive rewards - the Space Docker, the Go Go Monkey Blista, a 250,000 dollar bonus for nuclear waste - that never appear otherwise.
The thing to know about GTA 5 all collectibles map before starting is which items are tracked by the game and which are not; the untracked ones need a checklist.
Collectibles count toward 100 percent, which is required for the golden peyote and a handful of other secrets.
Much of this also applies to GTA 5 outfits, with one or two differences that guide spells out.
GTA 5 all collectibles map: the numbers
Everything in this section is checkable in-game or on the Rockstar Newswire.
| Set | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 50 Letter Scraps | Leonora Johnson murder; reward is the A Starlet in Vinewood mission | Any character |
| 30 Nuclear Waste barrels | 23,000 dollars each plus a 250,000 dollar bonus for all 30 | Needs the Sonar Collections Dock and the submarine |
| 50 Spaceship Parts | Omega's strand; reward is the Space Docker | Far Out mission starts it |
| 50 Stunt Jumps | Counts toward 100 percent; 25 required | Also shown on the in-game map after discovery |
If the table had one row it would be 50 Letter Scraps. 30 Nuclear Waste barrels earns its place because it changes the decision for some players.
Figures like these move when Rockstar patches, which is why the last-checked date sits at the top of the page.
Supporting numbers
The table below is the reference point for the rest of this guide.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Main story length | Around 31 hours for the main missions, 80+ hours for 100 percent (HowLongToBeat averages) |
| Endings | A: Something Sensible (kill Trevor), B: The Time's Come (kill Michael), C: The Third Way (Deathwish) - the only ending where all three survive |
| Released | September 17, 2013 (PS3/360), November 2014 (PS4/One), April 14, 2015 (PC), March 15, 2022 (PS5/Series X|S), March 2025 (PC Enhanced) |
| Story heists | The Jewel Store Job, The Merryweather Heist, The Paleto Score, The Bureau Raid, The Big Score |
Main story length sets the baseline; Endings is the usual alternative; Released is the outlier worth knowing about.
The row that matters most for GTA 5 all collectibles map is the first one; the rest give context for the decisions later in this guide.
Jargon explained
If any wording in this guide was unfamiliar:
| Term | Meaning |

| Tracked | A collectible counted in the Awards or Social Club stats |
| Sonar Collections Dock | The Paleto Cove property that enables the nuclear waste hunt |
This is where GTA 5 heists payout max starts to matter - that guide has the detail.

Fact-check corner
Claims about GTA 5 all collectibles map that circulate, and what is actually true:
Myth: You need every collectible for 100 percent
Reality: Only specific sets count; hidden packages and others are optional.
Myth: Bigfoot can be found anywhere
Reality: He appears in the Strangers and Freaks mission and as the golden peyote transformation under strict conditions.
Myth: You need every collectible for 100%
Reality: No. Stunt jumps and under-the-bridge flights only need 25 each; some sets are not in the checklist at all.
Myth: The jetpack is hidden on Mount Chiliad in GTA V
Reality: The Chiliad mural teased it, but the only jetpack is the Thruster in GTA Online.
Details that pay off
Points that rarely make it into GTA 5 all collectibles map guides but should:
- →The 12 underwater hidden packages respawn when you switch characters and pay between 8,000 and 25,000 each - the oldest money trick in the game.
- →Stunt jumps count only in story mode for the story checklist; GTA Online has its own set of 50.
- →Nuclear waste requires the submarine from the Sonar dock; the Trackify app on the phone points to each barrel.
Doing GTA 5 all collectibles map the right way
The method, start to finish:
- Open Stats > 100% Checklist in the pause menu to see which items in GTA 5 all collectibles map already count, then work from a map in a fixed order.
- Meet the prerequisite character if there is one - Omega for spaceship parts, the Sonar Collections Dock purchase (250,000) for nuclear waste, Abigail for submarine pieces.
- Sweep by region rather than by number: the in-game list is ordered by Rockstar's numbering, not geography.
- Switch characters to reset the world when a pickup does not appear; a quick switch away and back respawns most props.
- Save after each region - a crash or death does not lose collected items, but a missed autosave does.
- Claim the reward: letter scraps unlock the 'A Starlet in Vinewood' mission, spaceship parts unlock the Space Docker, nuclear waste pays 23,000 per barrel plus a 250,000 bonus.
Each step above has been checked in the current build of GTA 5.
Final word
That is GTA 5 all collectibles map as it stands on the current build. Where Rockstar changes it, this page changes with it.
The 100% completion list only requires 25 of the 50 stunt jumps and 25 of the 50 under-the-bridge flights, so GTA 5 all collectibles map may be worth doing only as far as the checklist needs.
From here we would go to GTA 5 spaceship parts locations and GTA 5 100 percent.
