What you need before starting
Before the first attempt at GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs, check off these:
- A helicopter or plane for rooftop and mountain items
- An hour or two per full set
- The Sonar Collections Dock or a submarine for anything underwater
- A checklist for untracked sets
- Story progress to the point where the relevant character or equipment is available
Why GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs matters in 2027
The 100% completion list only requires 25 of the 50 stunt jumps and 25 of the 50 under-the-bridge flights, so GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs may be worth doing only as far as the checklist needs.
Collectibles are the main source of story-mode trophies beyond the missions themselves, and several unlock unique vehicles or missions.
- ✗Skipping the submarine and trying to free-dive to deep items
- ✗Assuming an online guide's numbering matches the in-game order
- ✗Collecting with one character when the set is character-specific
Step by step: GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs
The order matters for GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs; do these top to bottom:
- Open Stats > 100% Checklist in the pause menu to see which items in GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs 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.
- 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.

GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs: the numbers
These are the figures we check against after each update:
| Set | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 50 Letter Scraps | Leonora Johnson murder; reward is the A Starlet in Vinewood mission | Any character |
| 50 Stunt Jumps | Counts toward 100 percent; 25 required | Also shown on the in-game map after discovery |
| 15 Knife Flights | Fly under or between structures; all 15 needed | Mallard or Besra work best |
| 50 Spaceship Parts | Omega's strand; reward is the Space Docker | Far Out mission starts it |
| 27 Peyote Plants | Transforms you into animals; a golden peyote variant spawns under special conditions | Next-gen versions only |
| 5 Epsilon Tracts | Part of the Epsilon Program strand | Michael only |
Three rows carry most of the weight: 50 Letter Scraps, 50 Stunt Jumps and 15 Knife Flights. The remaining entries explain the exceptions.
Traps to sidestep
Avoiding these saves more time than any trick:
- Not saving between regions
- Missing time-of-day or weather conditions on special spawns
- Buying the Sonar Collections Dock late; it is a 250,000 purchase that only pays back through the barrels
- Collecting spaceship parts before meeting Omega - they do not register
- Chasing all 50 stunt jumps when 100% only needs 25
- Attempting stunt jumps without the slow-motion landing marker; the jump only counts with a clean landing
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.

Expert tips for GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs
Smaller things that make GTA 5 Vinewood souvenirs smoother:
- →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.
- →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.
