A horseshoe in GTA San Andreas.

Horseshoes are collectibles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Horseshoes are depicted as normal pickups within Las Venturas that increase the player's luck, which originally starts out at 0. Each acquired horseshoe increases the player's luck by 20, as well as awarding the player $100. Contrary to belief, luck does not affect the player's gambling skill nor increase the probability of winning in any betting game. Because horseshoes are occasionally found on hard-to-reach rooftops, the player is recommended to utilize a helicopter or a jetpack to collect horseshoes.

Collecting all 50 horseshoes will maximize the player's luck to 1,000 as well as award the player with $100,000. In addition, four weapons spawn in front of The Four Dragons Casino on the south end of The Strip: An MP5, Satchel Charges, a SPAS 12 and an M4. Collection of all 50 horseshoes is required for 100% completion.
