Hidden Packages: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:36, 11 November 2012

Hidden Packages are collectibles in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description

The collection of hidden packages in the series is considered a side quest of sorts wherein the player is given the opportunity to amass rewards by collecting as many of these pickups as possible. However, hidden packages are typically placed in concealed locations or hard-to-reach places, making the task of collecting them fairly difficult.

In each game they appear in, there tends to be a total of 100 hidden packages scattered. The packages are also cosmetically different in each appearance:

In GTA III, hidden packages appear as spinning white bundles of unknown contents.
In GTA Vice City, hidden packages appear as spinning green "tiki statues".
In GTA Advance, hidden packages appear as yellow bundles encircled by a red circular border.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, hidden packages appear as large spinning keychains fashioned as hands in a sign of the horns gesture.

In GTA III, collecting each hidden packages awards $1,000, while following games only award $100. Collecting all hidden packages is also a requirement for 100% completion of each game.

Collection of hidden packages early in the game is considered advantages as the player will have immediate access to crucial weapons and pickups, as opposed to having to go to individual pickup locations or spend money at a weapons shop to obtain weaponry and equipment.

Trivia

In GTA San Andreas, a large 'tiki statue', which is exactly the same as a hidden package in GTA Vice City, appears on a strip club in East Los Santos.
In GTA Vice City, inside of the Ocean View Hotel upon finding any hidden packages, there is a Tiki statue broken in half with a white powder (supposedly cocaine) spilling out of it.
