As always Rockstar Games loved playing games with their fans, in every GTA franchise there are always mysteries to solve, hidden clues, secrets and achievements. Rockstar Games put something new to make GTA V an epic game so every player can have some more fun, like paranormal myths to dig up, reappearance of old friends and easter eggs.
I know some of you wanted to finish the game without putting some cheats codes because trophies and achievements will be disabled. So if you're looking for more crazy secrets and achievements, I made an effort to find it for you. Check it out!
AmmuNation discount
Successfully complete all Gun Range challenges to get a 25 percent discount from AmmuNation stores.
Customize any car as desired, then switch to a different character, drive by the character in the customized car, and hang out with him. Then, get out of your vehicle, and drive their customized car. When you return with the customized car after hanging out with the other character, there will be another of the same customized car. Get out of the car, and take the duplicated customized car. Then, switch back to the other character, and take the original customized car.
Swim or take a boat or jet ski to the following waypoint location on the map (far north-western area), then go to the ocean floor. There is a treasure box to the right of the sunken plane wing in this area that gives you $12,000 when collected. It may be hard to locate the treasure box at first. The closer you get to the treasure box, the more shiny and obvious it will become. After collecting the treasure box, switch characters, then change back, and the treasure box should reappear. Repeat this process as many times as desired to get an unlimited amount of money. If that method does not work, before diving to the treasure box on the ocean floor, quick save the game (just in case you drown). Then, grab the treasure box, and swim back up to the surface. Save the game again, then reload the saved game, and the treasure box will have respawned.
Easy money
While driving around, look for blue dots to appear on the map, which indicate armored cars. Try to shoot the driver with the briefcase before he reaches the armored car to quickly get the money ($5,000). If you are having problems opening an armored car, drive it into the water, and the back doors will instantly open.
While a mission is active, go to the gun shop, and buy all of the upgrades for every available weapon and some grenade. Once you have obtained all of the upgrades, leave the gun shop, and use one of the grenades to kill yourself. This will cause the mission to fail, and you will start the mission over. When the mission restarts, you will have all of your money back from the purchases in the gun shop. Go back to the gun store, and all the weapon upgrades will still have a checkmark. Repeat this process when new weapons become available.
Parachute location
The parachute can be found at the beginning of the game next to the cable car on top of Mt. Chiliad in the far north-western area of the map.
All Spaceship Part locations
Search the indicated locations to find all 50 Spaceship Parts in GTA V and get the "From Beyond The Stars" achievement.
All Stunt Jump locations
Go to the indicated locations to perform all 50 Stunt Jumps (Monster Stunts) in GTA 5. Successfully complete all 50 Stunt Jumps to get the "Show Off" achievement. They are also required to obtain a 100% game completion. It is best to do them while playing as Franklin. You can trigger his special ability to slow down time while driving. This will become very useful for lots of the Stunt Jumps. The best vehicle for the Monster Stunts is the Pegassi Bati 801 motorbike. You can do pretty much every stunt with it. However, some stunts are easier to do with a sports car. If you are stuck at a stunt, use the same type of vehicle that is shown in the video. You must always land in a specific area, or even a specific spot to complete the Stunt Jump. If you drive too fast, or too slow, you might miss the target area and the stunt will fail. A good trick to use is to quick save the game before every stunt jump. After loading the saved game, you will be sitting in your car (or on your bike) at the exact same spot where you saved the game. This allows you to never lose any progress if you die or destroy your vehicle.
While in a car, select "Unarmed". Then, press LB to give the middle finger. Note: You can see this feature better in a convertible car.
To fall on your butt, press X to jump, and while you are in mid-air, press B.
Use a submarine, and go to the ocean floor at the northern edge of the map to see a crashed UFO.
During the police chase in the tutorial, do not follow the instructions, and instead go off the road. Before reaching the bridge, drive to the frozen river below. Directly under the bridge is an alien encased in ice.
Brucie Kibbutz from Grand Theft Auto 4 returns to Grand Theft Auto 5 on Bleeper (GTA’s equivalent to Twitter). Niko Bellic's old friend Packie McReary also returns to GTA 5. Franklin can help him during a heist, and he will join your crew for the remainder of the game.
The early setting of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas returns in GTA V. The Grove Street families, the gang affiliated with the main protagonist of GTA: San Andreas Carl Johnson, also returns.
On one of the buildings in Grand Theft Auto V, you can see graffiti stating, "WELCOME BACK. We missed you last time." that welcomes players back to the sandbox of San Andreas after leaving for Liberty City in GTA IV.
Some old friends from GTA: San Andreas are referenced in Franklin's place. Look in the bedroom to find a poster for Mad Dog. Look on the floor to see that OG Loc made it with his own album.
Elysian Fields Co., the villainous construction company embroiled in the highway conspiracy in L.A. Noire appears in Los Santos. L.A. Noire obviously takes place in Los Angeles. GTA 5's Los Santos is a fictionalized version of L.A.
On the back of the exclusive Special Edition map, a secret message will appear when put under a UV light. The message reads as follows:
T.P.E – Trevor Philips Enterprises. Weaponry, narcotics, intimidation and casual wear. Lago Zan Cudo. Great Ocean, Highway north, through north Chumash, 0.5 miles past Raton Canyon. When guard rail ends, follow the dirt road down the docks. Bring $500,000 cash.
There are also additional secrets listed on the Special Edition map when put under a UV light.

Sharks spawn randomly in deep water. Go out into the ocean with a boat or jet ski, and watch the mini-map until it turns completely dark blue. Keep driving around until you see a red dot on the radar, which indicates a shark. Then, jump into the water, and wait until it kills you. It may take some time if the shark does not see you right away. Once you have been killed by the shark, you will get the "Out Of Your Depth" achievement. Additionally, sometimes the shark will even attack and destroy the boat or jet ski, which will also give you the achievement.
