To celebrate the Lunar New Year in GTA Online, you ?can collect Yuanbao collectibles all across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Compared to the standard set of collectibles available in the game, you'll only have to find about 36 of these tiny items. Naturally, the task can still be difficult since these items are pretty small in size. Most of ??them are found on ridges and seats, making them hard to find in the first place.

Thankfully, the job gets a lot easie??r once you know their locations.

How to find all 36 Yuanbao collectibles in GTA Online

The following map has the locations of all 36 collectibles, and you'll have to ??plan accordingly. As you can see, a bulk of these ingots are concentrated in the Los Santos region. However, I would per?sonally begin with the ones located in Blaine County.

While the ?ingots are small, you can use a cue to know when you're close to one. Once you get near a Yuanbao collectible, percussion music will play in the background. If you're using a controller, it will also start vibrating.

Since the collectibles are spread out across a vast region, use a vehicle that can cover large stretches of distance in quick time. You should also take the help of a Collectible Scanner, which will tell you the location of a particula??r collectible once you get close to it.

There's an in-game counter in GTA Online that will keep track of how many collectibles you collect. However, there will be no way of knowing which collectibles are left i??f you're not manually tracking them. I will suggest starting from one end and moving systematically, making it easier for you to keep track as well. This will save time and energy, as you won't be moving haphazardly.

Once you find all the?? collectibles, you'll get $88,888 for the final one. Till then, you'll get $888 for each collectible, along with 888 RP. If you find them all, you'll obtain a total of?? 31,968 RP and $119,968.

You'll also earn the Gold Snake Capra outfit to celebrate the Lunar N?ew Year festivities in the game.

The three Gauntlet missions V are part of the Heist package which was one of the new feature that GTA V brought to the franchise. Procuring cars is definitely a big part of the Heist missions and, indeed, finding these three particu?lar vehicles is an essential part of completing the Gold Heist.

But since those cars can be pretty easy to miss, we will be providing you with the particular locations of the vehicles in the game, along with details on how to successfully follow the go??ld requ?irements.

Where are the Gauntlet cars in GTA V

You should receive an email from a friend of Lester regarding some hints about the locations of all three cars.? Clearly, you can't just go stealing a random Gauntlet vehicle that you might spot driving around in the c?ity, but you need to provide specific ones that will be used in the Heist. Once you bring them back to the garage, they will also need to be modified.

Finally, keep in mind that those ca?rs have to be delivered without a scratch, so better be used to driving carefully! Let's look at where to find them.

First Gauntlet car: Pillbox Hill

The first car you will find on the roof of a parking garage that is located in Pillbox Hill. If you want t?o find it quickly, it might also be a good idea to use the freeway as a waypoint. You can recognize the right garage since it's the one located just to the right of it, with a couple of skyscrapers in the background as well. The car will be easy to find, as it will be the only vehicle parked on the roof.

Second Gauntlet car: Rockford Hills

The second Gauntlet car will be parked in a reserved spot in the Rockford Hills, opposite the Vangelico store and in front of the CaCa store. If you have been playing other Heist missions, you might remember this location for the Jewelry Heist. The Gauntlet will be free for the taking, ??so take it back ??to Los Santos Customs while driving carefully.

Third Gauntlet car: Mission Row

The final Gauntlet i??s also in a parking lot, this one located in Mission Row, on Sinner Street, a short road with nothing much on it. The car is parked in front of a laundromat and usually next to other ordinary cars, so it can be the hardest one to spot if you are not specifically looking ??for it.

What are the Gold requirements for the Gauntlet cars

There are three requirements to bring back the Gold for all the Gauntlet cars. T??hey are the following:

• Mapped - awarded for bringing back the right Gauntlet cars
• Not a Scratch - awarded for delivering the cars without any damage
• Pimped Out - awarded for spending at least 17.000$ to modify the three cars

It might be useful to keep in mind that these requirements will apply to all three cars, so better? be sure to deliver them unharmed and spend enough money on them.

During the dark days of 2021's lockdown, out-of-work actors Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls set out to produce and direct a version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet shot entirely in the incredibly violent world of GTA V Online. As of late 2024, I still don't know if they succeeded at their initial task, but it seems? as if they've succeeded in creating something special with Grand Theft Hamlet, a documentary about their adventure in making the movie.

If you're anything like me, the mere idea that someone remade the entirety of Hamlet in GTA V will have you cringing hard. The Internet, YouTube especially, has way too ??many? covers and fan remakes of things that should probably be left alone �out of respect for the original work and consideration for the time of the people browsing.

In this case, however, I was very wrong to immediately discard Grand Theft Hamlet, as it seems lik??e an actually riveting work of passion.

The world of GTA Online is incredibly hostile. Los Santos is a place where you're more likely to get shot in the nuts than to get greeted by a passer-by. Outside of a few competitive online titles, the GTA community is likely the last group you should try to cast and direct for your in-game remake of something for nerd theater kids. Still, the world and all the sets provided by this incredibly rich title make it the best stag??e for, well, a spectacular stage.

The title “Grand Theft Hamlet�looks like something out of a made-for-YouTube spoof. Seemingly, however, it's a riveting documentary ( currently sitting at 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) that will both p?ull at your heartstrings and make you laugh hard with its tale of community effort during rough ti??mes.

Grand Theft Hamlet premiers in select theaters on January 17, and will start streaming on MUBI at an undisclosed later date. Grand Theft Hamlet took the best documentary award at the SXSW Film Festival, among a few other awards, and it truly does feel lik?e the surprise 2025 opener I didn’t know I wanted.

Even after ten years, GTA 5 is still one of the biggest releases in modern gaming. With almost 160,000 people logged into the game on PC in the past 24 hours, it's no wonder it's one of the most played releases on Steam. But there's been one thing missin??g all this time, until now.

As noted in a recent report from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, it looks as though Rockstar has finally added anti-cheat software to GTA 5. More than nine years after releasing (bearing in mind the console versions came out in 2013), the hit Grand Theft Auto installment comes packed? ??with BattlEye, at least on the PC version.

Screenshots from X user Tez2 �who's pretty noteworthy when it comes to tracking all things related to GTA �initially showed the software listed in the patch notes over on SteamDB. Rockstar has since updated its patch notes thread, dropping in its official notice that GTA 5 now comes with a Battleye install.

Is this the end of GTA 5 silliness?

Over the years, studios and publishing houses have taken strides to protect intellectual proper?ties, especially when it comes to guarding against online cheaters. This is basically what BattlEye is all about, but the report from Henderson points to a few con??cerns.

For one, will having anti-cheat software in the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 have any effect on modding? It can't be said at this stage ?what the result will be, but no doubt the community will let us kn?ow post-haste.

In general, it seems fans are quite pleased with BattlEye finally making its way to the game, about a decade after it came out. But given how long it's taking for GTA 6 to arrive, we already know that Rockstar can be ??a bit slow on th?e uptake at times.

Players step into GTA Online, the multiplayer mode of GTA 5, for a variety of reasons, and driving vehicles at top speed and taking them for a spin is one of them. Drift Tuning is a customisation for your vehicles in GTA Online which does not ??necessarily increase the speed of the vehicle, but improves the handling of your car, allowing you to drift your car at tighter angles without losing control of the vehicle.

So, for players who like to drift around the streets of Los Santos, th??e Dift Tune upgrade is a must, as it overhauls a car’s engine power as well as improve??s its suspension.

GTA 5 players can install Drifting Tuning customisation to their vehicles by visiting Hao’s Special Works at the Los Santos Car Meet. This is the only place where you can get this upgrade option. To go to the Los Santos Car Meet, players need to purchase an LS Car Meet membership which costs $50,000. This price has to be paid in order to gain access to Hao’s Special Works mod shop. Furthermore, you need to pay $200,000 to install Drif?ting Tuning to your vehicle.

P??layers can also ??remove Drift Tuning from their vehicle at any time by paying $50,000 more, but remember that you would have to pay $200,000 to get it reinstalled again. The Drift Tuning upgrade is available for free at the LS Car Meet for GTA+ members.

You can install Drift Tuning on select vehicles only in GTA Online, and these are the following vehicles that are compatible with the Drift Tuning up??grade:

• Annis Euros
• Annis Remus
• Annis ZR350
• Declasse Drift Tampa
• Declasse Drift Yosemite
• Dinka Jester RR
• Fathom FR36
• Karin Futo GTX

All of these vehicles are available to purchase in GTA Online, with some available in Sout?hern S.A. Super Autos and others available at the Legendary Motorsport shop.
