GTA 6 collectibles: speculation and wishesEN

you know the salvage yard missions where you go steal cars and strip em for parts. imagine that but you sometimes pull a special part off a car, a weird horn, rare mirrors, some goofy bumper, and you bolt it onto your own ride.

and maybe the game clocks which cars you drive the most and every now and then hands you a special item for it. that woulda actually made me grind those jobs instead of skipping them.

the cigarette cards in rdr2 were peak collectible design, not gonna lie. give me that exact energy in 6, little illustrated card sets you find tucked behind counters and on windowsills.

please for the love of god no 100 hidden thingies with zero payoff. vice city hidden packages dropped a new weapon at your safehouse every ten you grabbed. THAT is the bar. if the reward doesnt mean anything im not touching them.

vice city hidden packages dropped a weapon every ten

hidden packages were the goat and this is the hill i die on. bring them back but hide them in actual Leonida landmarks, not floating in a random alley.

forget CDs honestly, thats already dated in 2026. let me collect cassettes and old vinyl and have each one unlock a track for the radio or a custom station i build myself.

collect vinyl and unlock radio tracks

yes, crates of records in the back of little shops, dig for rare pressings and spin them back at your apartment. would sink so many hours into that.

photography collectibles is where its at. like the wildlife challenges but you gotta snap every gator, manatee and bird species out in the everglades. put it in a little in game photo album.

gta 5 already did the snapshot thing with the monkey mosaics and the spaceship parts. i want a proper photo scavenger hunt, go find and shoot every neon sign in the city.

a proper photo scavenger hunt

as long as its a curated list of actual landmarks and not 200 identical glowing dots on the map. quality over spam please.

beach collectibles nobody is mentioning. seashells and shark teeth along the shoreline, and let me run a metal detector on the sand for rings and old coins. very florida.

run a metal detector on the sand

the metal detector idea goes hard. tie it into treasure hunts off the keys, sunken pirate loot you dive for with a map, rdr2 treasure maps but wet.

ngl i dont even care what they are. give me a checklist and a shiny 100 percent reward at the end, a gold plated car or a exclusive outfit, and ill hunt every single one.

give me a checklist and a 100 percent reward

hard disagree, that mindset is exactly why collectibles feel like a chore. they should be optional flavor. either the reward is real or dont pad the map with them.

arcade collectibles. beat the high score on every cabinet in the arcade like the diamond one in online. tokens you gather to unlock a secret machine in the back.

graffiti tags san andreas style. spray a hundred pieces across vice city, roll it into gang territory and you got a reason to explore every backstreet.
