Grand Theft Auto 5
What a wild , wild rideGrand Theft Auto Vhas had . It originally launched way back in 2013 ( which is an eternity in video game years ) and quickly became a phenomenon .
Players , critics , Rockstar shareholders ( and their partners who want to supply that extension to their house ) … everybody just loved the game . It keep to deal unbelievably well ( it was the 11thbest - selling claim of last twelvemonth , even though it ’s over five years old ) , despite the fact that just about everybody in the known universe surely possess it by now .
Yes , the controversial crime ‘ em up series has always been popular , but what was it about this entry in particular ? It ’s got to be the whole loose - cosmos thing . These sorts of deed have become increasingly pop and ambitious in late geezerhood , andGrand Theft Auto Vwas one of the first title to really crowd the envelope in terms of graduated table .
The game may not be about an undecided ‘ world ’ as such ( in contrast to something likeThe Legend of Zelda : Breath of the WildorSkyrim ) , but Los Santos was perhaps the big , life - est respiration - est city that games could summon back in 2013 . LikeMarvel ’s Spider - Man ’s take on New York City , it was a stunning achievement . It still is .
With that in mind , it stands to understanding that there ’d be a whole wealth of arcanum , easter eggs , and places that fooling players have never go through . Have you visitedGrand Theft Auto V ’s very own Bermuda Triangle ? Or the mysterious Coveted Cove ? Or even the ghostly shores of that obsessed beach ? believably not , so buckle up for a tour of duty with a difference .
The Mysterious Mountain Mine
On a map as large asGrand Theft Auto V ’s , there are oblige to be all kind of vague little areas that most histrion would n’t ever really find . Only the hardened IE who hunt every sidequest on every square inch of land motive practice .
The sight mine ( as we ’ve report before ) is n’t an obscure trivial area ( it ’s pretty darn handsome , in fact ) but it ’s certainly a neat uncovering . It ’s exclude behind a big wooden door , which can be easily dispose of by one of the many explosive surprisal that allGrand Theft Autoplayers have on their person at all times .
What look you inside ? A series of confusing , minute passage , and a decennary - old body ( we suggested that its 1940s - era clothing , and this whole situation , may be a reference to fellow Rockstar propertiesL.A. NoireandRed Dead Redemption ) .
The Tennis Coach’s REAL House
If there ’s one word to describe the sprightliness of the averageGrand Theft Autoprotagonist , it would probably bedrama . From C.J. to Niko to Michael , Franklin , and Trevor , these people sure do n’t lead ho-hum life .
other inGTA V ’s story , Michael discovers his married woman and her tennis coach , Kyle Chavis , in an inauspicious place . He follows the man back to what he think is the lawn tennis coach ’s own home base , and manages to destroy the place by take out it down the cliff it ’s built on .
He soon discovers that the house was actually the holding of Martin Madrazo , the unpitying and loaded businessman . Just across from this once - beautiful home , though , players can find what looks like Chavis ’s real space , a much pocket-sized and more humble base . There are tennis bollock , rackets , and a ball machine all around the premises .
Mount Chiliad
Now , of course , Mt Chiliad is a location that ’s pretty darn hard not to find . It ’s just about the biggest and most obvious affair on the whole map .
We ’re not looking for the plenty itself , though . What ’s of import here is the fact that , being such a large piece of the Los Santos landscape , there are all variety of mystery squirreled away here .
One of the more minor ( yet in particular challenging ) mysteries fence in a piece of nontextual matter on the mountainside , on the left side of the upper half of the pile ( via Paleto Bay ) . As we reported over onTheGamer , in the original version of the secret plan , this depicted a human ’s face ( enunciate to be that ofBreaking Bad ’s Jesse Pinkman ) . In the later re - release for current - gen consoles , it ’s the outline of a crybaby rather .
The Taco Van Of Mysteries
Now , barrel around Los Santos in the o.k. multi - million buck cars is fun and all , but that ’s not all there is to the game . Often , you’re able to get just as much joy out of remove one of the sillier , novelty fomite out for a spin .
You do n’t need to race in a fire truck , hearse , or the like , true enough . They ’re hilarious to just scoot around in , though , which is why spate of you will probably require to know about the holy grail of route - faring absurdity : the Enormous Taco Truck ™ .
To get your handwriting on this magnificent vehicle , you ’ll have to guide to the Frederick North of Sandy Shores ( between the hours of 1 and 2 pm , which is when the truck breed ) . It ’s just … there , ripe for the pickings , and it ’s fantastic .
Seaside Spooks
Now , there was always going to have to be a lot of shoreline , beaches , and ocean in Los Santos . After all , how else couldGTA V ’s lavishness fomite manufacturers sell us their fancy gravy boat and ship ?
of course , this beingGrand Theft Auto , the beaches of the metropolis have their own clearly grown - up stories to tell . Pretty darn vivid ones , too .
There ’s a certain campsite that players can visit after the hour of 11pm , which is litter with tents . If you stick around , you ’ll start to hear disembodied voice , which before long descend into moans and screeching . Did something distinctlyFriday the 13th - flavored happen here ?
The Coveted Cove
As we ’ve already established , this isGrand Theft Autowe’re talking about . It ’s not all sunshine and rainbows around here , that ’s for darn sure . It ’s an vivid , ethically - refutable , often uncollectible world . One that Trevor exists in , perhaps the most uproariously vivid character ever created .
Even so , however , Los Santos is also just absolutely sensational in places . sure areas , like the so - send for Coveted Cove , could be ripped straight from a travel agent ’s catalogue .
It ’s found on the east coast , at the south end of the San Chianski pot ( Blaine County ) . A little cove with a piddle - fulfil cave , it ’s a beautiful instinctive location that features in the military mission Coveted ( hence the unofficial name ) .
Inside , you ’ll find some curious treasure : a grenade launcher , along with a letter fight and a spaceship part .
The Fort Zancudo Underground Lab
That name alone is probably enough to strike care in the hearts of players in the know . However high - leveled and well - equipped you are , Fort Zancudo is not a location to take lightly .
The guards of the military base take their job very , very badly . If you even breathe within 10,000 yards of their territory , they ’ll come after you .
Visiting is more than worth a endeavor , though , for several grounds ( more add up up later in this rundown ) . For one thing , there ’s a secretive underground lab you’re able to access here , after instal a certain mod . Riding down the lift here gives you access , taking you to a dark , spooky lab that could house all manner of experiments .
The Los Santos Bermuda Triangle
That ’s correct , friends . You ’ve sure as shooting heard of the Bermuda Triangle , a mysterious area off the seacoast of Florida / Bermuda / Puerto Rico . According to legends and cabal hypothesis , this area harbors some form of incomprehensible force , which has led all kinds of vessels to become lost in ( and over ) its Ethel Waters .
InGrand Theft Auto Online , thespian have see an remaining bug that seems to replicate the effects of the famous Bermuda Triangle . AsUSGamerexplains , there ’s an area between the Paleto Bunker , the north of Paleto Bay and the Yachts A Series ( yes , it shape a triangle ) where the common rules of cathartic do n’t apply . Due to a strange bug , come in this area in a ship or a aeroplane can get you to be teleport aside without said vehicle .
Odd .
Oh, Give Us A Home Where The Aliens Roam
As fans and rabid conspiracy theoretician will know , GTA Vis rife with alien references . We ’ve already come to on the fact that there ’s a spaceship part to be found in the Coveted Cove , but that ’s just the beginning of thing . If you ’re dedicate enough to achieve 100 % completion of the game ’s story mode , UFOs will begin to come along in Blaine County and Los Santos itself . Their appearances are triggered at sealed time and by certain weather conditions , as detailed byIGN .
If the participant collect all of the spread out spaceship parts , a flyspeck craft will be produced ( and you ’ll unlock the Space Docker ) . What does all of this mean value ? It ’s toughened to say , but presumptively , the trueness is out there .
Back We Go To Fort Zancudo
On the subject of all of this ballistic capsule business , we ’ve already go out that Fort Zancudo is a place that bind in with all these rumours and odd happenings . Not only is there that unexplained stem deep in the building , but you ’ll see a strange glowing UFO in the sky here at 3 am each Clarence Day .
Do you know what else you’re able to encounter here ? A minigun , that ’s what . It ’s certainly not an light trip up to the Control Tower to get it , though . As I say , the guard around here are not trained to have nice small plate of cookies and a trouser press quick for visitant , like a snooty hotel . They will simply end you .
It ’s just as tough to get back out of the tower as it is to get in , but that ’s just what makes it such an adventure .
