Collectibles
Many items in GTA games are required to be collected to achieve statistical 100% completion of the game, but not to complete the main storyline. Rewards are offered for collecting certain amounts of each pickup, and each individual collectible gives a small payment.
- Hidden Packages are located all around the maps in the GTA III Era games. The player gets a new weapon (or an armour pickup) spawning at Safehouses. Special rewards are offered for finding all the hidden packages, such as access to the Hunter in GTA Vice City.
Other collectibles only feature in GTA San Andreas:
- Tags are 100 graffiti tags from rival gangs on walls around Los Santos, which you must spray over with your own gang's tag using the Spray Can. The rewards for tagging the Hidden Sprays are: AK-47, Tec-9, Sawn-Off Shotgun and Molotov Cocktails in the kitchen of the Johnson House in Grove Street as well as Desert Eagle and SMG's for you Groove Street homies.
- Photo Ops (opportunities) are 50 scenes around San Fierro that you need to take a photo of to collect. The Camera often spawns close to these locations.
- Horseshoes are 50 small pickups to collect around Las Venturas.
- Oysters are located in the sea around San Andreas. The reward for finding all 50 Oysters is more lung capacity and more sex appeal. Every oyster itself gives you $100.
