What GTA 5 peyote plant locations actually means
The thing to know about GTA 5 peyote plant locations before starting is which items are tracked by the game and which are not; the untracked ones need a checklist.
Collectibles are the main source of story-mode trophies beyond the missions themselves, and several unlock unique vehicles or missions.
Rockstar hides GTA 5 peyote plant locations 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.
Collectibles count toward 100 percent, which is required for the golden peyote and a handful of other secrets.

GTA 5 peyote plant locations at a glance
Numbers first - the rest of the page explains how to use them.
| Set | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 27 Peyote Plants | Transforms you into animals; a golden peyote variant spawns under special conditions | Next-gen versions only |
| 10 Monkey Mosaics | Reward is the Go Go Monkey Blista | Next-gen versions only |
| 50 Spaceship Parts | Omega's strand; reward is the Space Docker | Far Out mission starts it |
| 15 Knife Flights | Fly under or between structures; all 15 needed | Mallard or Besra work best |
| 25 Under the Bridge | Low-altitude flights under bridges | Any helicopter is easiest |
| 50 Letter Scraps | Leonora Johnson murder; reward is the A Starlet in Vinewood mission | Any character |
| 50 Hidden Packages | Underwater cash bundles | Not required for 100 percent |
27 Peyote Plants is the figure most often misquoted in GTA 5 peyote plant locations discussions; 10 Monkey Mosaics is the one most often left out.
The exact method
Our GTA 5 peyote plant locations routine, as we actually run it:
Before you start: the Sonar Collections Dock or a submarine for anything underwater; story progress to the point where the relevant character or equipment is available.
- Open Stats > 100% Checklist in the pause menu to see which items in GTA 5 peyote plant locations 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.
- 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.
If a step fails, the troubleshooting notes further down cover the usual causes.
Mistakes that cost you
The GTA 5 peyote plant locations errors that generate the most reader mail:
- Not saving between regions
- Buying the Sonar Collections Dock late; it is a 250,000 purchase that only pays back through the barrels
- Attempting stunt jumps without the slow-motion landing marker; the jump only counts with a clean landing
- Missing time-of-day or weather conditions on special spawns
- Collecting with one character when the set is character-specific
The 100% completion list only requires 25 of the 50 stunt jumps and 25 of the 50 under-the-bridge flights, so GTA 5 peyote plant locations may be worth doing only as far as the checklist needs.
Become animal GTA 5: figures that matter
Before any opinion, the data:
| 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 |
| Sales | Over 215 million copies shipped - the second best-selling game ever |
| Story heists | The Jewel Store Job, The Merryweather Heist, The Paleto Score, The Bureau Raid, The Big Score |
| Setting | Los Santos and Blaine County, state of San Andreas |
Readers skimming should look at Main story length, Endings and Sales; the 'Detail' column is the one to compare.
Figures like these move when Rockstar patches, which is why the last-checked date sits at the top of the page.

Pro tips for become animal GTA 5
Tips we wish someone had told us earlier:
- →Nuclear waste requires the submarine from the Sonar dock; the Trackify app on the phone points to each barrel.
- →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.
- →Letter scraps complete the Leonora Johnson case; the reward is the Dreyfuss mission, best done as Franklin.
Console vs PC

- PS4 / Xbox One: Same sets as current-gen
- PS3 / Xbox 360: Missing the sets added with the 2014 re-release

Approaches that work
The GTA 5 peyote plant locations approaches we would actually recommend, and who each suits:
Reward-first
Prioritise sets with payouts: nuclear waste (940,000 total), hidden underwater packages (respawning cash), then the vehicle unlocks.
Checklist-first
Do only what the 100% list needs: 25 stunt jumps, 25 under-the-bridge, all letter scraps, spaceship parts and nuclear waste.
This is where GTA 5 easter eggs starts to matter - that guide has the detail.
Where that leaves you
GTA 5 peyote plant locations looks complicated from outside because the community argues about it. In GTA 5 itself it is deterministic: same inputs, same result.
Rockstar put 50 letter scraps, 50 spaceship parts, 30 nuclear waste barrels, 50 stunt jumps, 15 knife flights, 27 peyote plants and more into Los Santos; GTA 5 peyote plant locations fits into that larger checklist.
From here we would go to GTA 5 secret cars rare spawn map and GTA 5 letter scraps locations.
