Every Collectible in GTA 5 and What They Unlock
GTA 5 hides four big collectible sets across Los Santos and Blaine County, and finishing them pays out cash, a secret car, and a chunk of your 100% completion. Here is every set, the counts, and the rewards.
GTA 5 scatters four major collectible sets across the map, and unlike a lot of open-world busywork, each one pays out something real: cash, a secret vehicle, achievements, and a meaningful slice of your 100% completion. Here is every set, how many there are, and exactly what you get.
50 Letter Scraps
There are 50 Letter Scraps spread across Los Santos and its outskirts, and they are available from the very start with no prerequisite. Reading all 50 pieces reconstructs a confession about the murder of Leonora Johnson, unlocks the "A Mystery, Solved" achievement, and lets you track down and confront the killer. They are the easiest set to start because nothing gates them.
50 Spaceship Parts
The 50 Spaceship Parts require you to first meet Omega by completing his stranger mission "Omega." Once that is done, the parts appear across the map. Collect all 50 to trigger Omega's final mission, "The Final Frontier," which rewards you with the unique Space Docker (a modified BF Injection that handles like a UFO) and the "From Beyond the Stars" achievement.
30 Nuclear Waste Barrels
The 30 Nuclear Waste barrels are collected underwater with the Submersible, which means you first have to buy the Sonar Collections Dock ($250,000) as Trevor or Michael. Each barrel pays about $23,000, so clearing all 30 nets roughly $690,000, plus the "Waste Management" achievement. It is the most lucrative collectible hunt in the game.
50 Stunt Jumps
The 50 Unique Stunt Jumps are ramps and gaps scattered statewide. You complete one by launching a vehicle and landing it cleanly. They feed directly into 100% completion and unlock the "Show Off" achievement when all 50 are done. A fast motorcycle is the easiest tool for most of them.
How they fit 100%
All four sets count toward 100% completion, and the Spaceship Parts and Letter Scraps in particular are pure free progress you can grab early. The smart order: pick up Letter Scraps from the start, hunt Stunt Jumps opportunistically while driving, buy the Sonar Dock and clear Nuclear Waste for the big payday, and do Spaceship Parts once Omega's mission is unlocked. Finish all four and you have knocked out a large chunk of the checklist while banking close to a million dollars and a secret car.
