These are the 2 guides that I used to find all of the 100 hidden packages!

This link is for a waypoint marker of all the packages on the map, pictures of the location, and a text guide explaining where they all are! Only thing bad about this guide, it was made back on the older systems so it's not remastered graphics.

These links are to a YouTube video from Kevin DX who made both a first island and a second island guide! Bad thing about these videos, is that they don't show where the locations are on the map, just landmarks.

First island hidden packages

Second island hidden packages

Edit: Luuc has posted another link that has what looks like all of the collectibles in the game!

Edit 2: Maka91 has posted a link to his video where he shows where the packages are and where they are on the map, and it's also with remastered graphics!

If I miss or forgot to add something, I'll update the guide when I get a chance.

Here's my 4k video if you think it's helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3WBCV3AFbk

Just used Maka's guide and can confirm this is the best one since it indicates if you need a helicopter to get some of them which aren't obtainable on the ground.

Unless I somehow missed them, the 2 videos you have linked do not show the prawn island, starfish island or golf course hidden packages.

@SMELLYOULATER. There's a video from Maka91 that I posted at the bottom of the solution that has all 100 packages

@GrowShah the Maka91 guide is great (as always!)
I think it might be worth removing the other two videos as it left me confused and has to look at the map that Luuc posted, which was also really helpful!

@PSSEGANINTENDO I don't know what "AER memories of Old malfunctioned" is. I don't know what I did to you, but the guides at the top (link to GTA Fandom and the 2 video guides) are the ones I used to help me collect all of the packages. There is also no need to insult me or my guides.

By GrowShah on 23 Nov 2021 02:35

I used maka91's video cliamed all 100 when i picked up the last 1 it said i have collected 99 an i know i havent missed any wtf

By UBERS1LKROAD on 26 Nov 2021 18:03

Same thing happened to me, not with Maka's video, but with the collectible's map one. I went through each one and come to find out, I missed 3. I had to use the GTA Fandom guide at the top, and go through all of them again. Last one I needed was behind a hole in the wall in one of the buildings on the hill on Prawn Island. Maybe check there?

By GrowShah on 26 Nov 2021 19:36

I used maka’s video too and i got 99/100. Number 97 is glitched for me, i tried to kill myself , get busted, restarted the game and nothing helped me to make the package spawn. I also double checked all 100 packages with a different guide made by “GTA Series videos” and i got everything collected except that one. This sucks. Honestly i dont wanna go through the whole 100% completion again :( one thing that came in to my mind that it might spawn once i complete the main story (which i think doesnt seem to be true as the packages shouldnt be story mission related)

Damn guys you wont believe it but i found it few minutes after i wrote my comment above😂🤦🏼‍♂️I feel so dumb lol. I didnt knew before that there are two entrances to the terminals at the airport i was just checking the one on the right side all the time,🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️😅 i realized then that there might be a second one on the left and there it was!😅😂

By Incredible Matt on 23 Jan 2022 19:35

@Incredible Matt that's great to hear! If you needed to you could go for the packages at the very start of the game without doing any missions.

By GrowShah on 23 Jan 2022 20:29

Wow I’m glad I’m not the only one, followed makas guide but ended with 99 too.

By RoboTommm on 21 Mar 2022 20:43

Followed Maka's Guide. Got to 100 Packages. But no achievement. And last save was at 58 hidden packages -_-

EDIT: NEVERMIND! It did unlock. Just Stealth Unlocked and didn't pop on my computer, phones or Xbox.

By TonySki on 19 May 2022 03:51

I advise you to start with this achievement and the medic.
You can get to the second island by dropping the ambulance into the water on the pier and jumping over the locked gate on the side. You can save on island 2 if you buy an apartment in a skyscraper, not far from the stadium. There is also a helicopter on the roof, which will make it easier to collect packages on tall buildings.
Collection rewards will make the game much easier

By k1r1llka on 22 Mar 2024 20:34

I'm missing one and I went through the visual guide twice. I have no idea which one I am missing and can't understand how I missed one when I followed a numbered guide.

Might as well add this link, which is super useful:

@GrowShah I was only speaking about Maka91 aka Maka's Guides, how will you feel if you bought a game for easy completion and it started malfunctioning on ya, won't let ya get past a certain point past the game. You wouldn't be pissed off, could of used that money to buy some snacks🤭🤭🤭. May I remind people that Maka91 never posted a video saying that the game wouldn't let ya past a certain way, not even an update smh.You did a good job with your guides @GrowShah, I haven't made a complain about you or your guides. I follow GTA Series Videos for anything GTA related, they got it all even unique vehicles that can save ya some point along the way.
