GTA 5 Easter Eggs

And you can also select Misty, a non-playable character featured in GTA III, as your mother.

Michael's Chauffeur

Play as Michael and go to his house. Hang around the garage and his family members and eventually one of them will say they're going out.

Walk along with them to one the family's cars and be at the passenger door when they are getting in the driver's seat. Enter exactly when they do. We're going for a little ride!

Whatever family member it is will now drive you around. You can even switch to hood view and look at yourself!

Mime

Yup, there's a mime in GTA V and you can abuse him (not that we condone that sort of behaviour of course...). He doesn't take too kindly to you looking at him for too long though, much less pushing him over/trying to knock him out. Try too much funny stuff and his buddies will come running.

Also make sure you check out this animated mime GIF we have (click to see the full version — 1MB).

Mobile Operating Systems

The three main game characters, Trevor, Michael and Franklin each have a different type of cell phone that mimics a real-life mobile operating system type: iOS (Michael), Android (Franklin) and Windows (Trevor).

NPCs Robbing Stores

Whenever you walk into a store there is always a small chance that you'll walk right into an NPC robbing the joint! Take him/her out then rob the place for yourself!

Parallel Parking

If the NPCs sometimes struggle to parallel park properly. If you see an an NPC attempting to parallel park, you might notice that they need several attempts at it and need to go back and forward several times in order to get it right.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Do you remember the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure? Well when you are doing a Barry mission whilst playing as Trevor you'll need to fight some nasty clowns.

And while the brawl is going down there is some music playing in the background. It's from the clown scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure!

Playboy Mansion

Yup, it's the Playboy Mansion, right in Los Santos of course! Check out the video below for the location and to get a taste of what to expect when you visit at night...

Pratfall Easter Egg

To fall on your ass press Square to jump and then when you're in mid-air press Circle.

Pre-mission Briefings

If you fail and then choose to repeat a mission then you should notice slightly different variation to the briefing dialogue prior to the mission, to take account for the fact that you're doing it again.

Puncture Fuel Tank, Gas Runs Out

This may not have much of a practical use, but it does show the level of detail that Rockstar have put into Grand Theft Auto V.

Check out the video below and you'll be shown how to puncture a vehicle's gas tank, and you can then watch the gas leak... with the vehicle eventually running out of fuel and coming to a complete stop!

Random Photos

Try to be discrete/respectful if you feel like taking photos of random people in the streets of Los Santos. Otherwise sometimes they'll start a fight with you!

Hunting Photo Reactions

If you take pictures of your kills when out hunting with Trevor, and send those photos to random numbers from your contacts list, you'll get various reactions ranging from confusion to disgust.

Radio Stations Chop Hates

Get into a vehicle with Chop the dog and turn on either Worldwide FM, Rebel Radio and any talk back station and he will bark non-stop! Chop don't like those radio stations!

Sleeping Times

This is a pretty interesting easter egg — you may not have noticed by the three main characters actually have different sleeping times. If you go to sleep as Trevor then time will advance by 12 hours, if it's Franklin then you'll wake up 8 hours later and finally Michael gets the least sleep with just 6 hours each time!

Special Edition Map Secret Message

The Special Edition of GTA V contains a message hidden in the included map. It can only be seen with a UV light:

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.

Reddit user LostDelta also made a full version of the map with the secret messages included! Check it out below.

Tipping Street Performers

If you take a picture of a street performer using your mobile phone and don't get them a tip, then they'll get angry with you.

Topless Women

If you happen to find yourself in some of the mansions of Vinewood there might be topless women prading around and partying. If you whip out your cell phone and take a picture they will call you a dreep and then their boyfriends might show up looking for a fight.

Trevor's Hot Rod Blazer

Like the look of this? Ron will deliver it to Trevor's trailer once you complete the main story mode.

Unfortunately it can't be customized though.

Trevor's Music

Trevor can be very picky with the radio stations he listen too and if you put on something he doesn't like he'll get angry and over-ride what you've chosen, turning it back to something he prefers.

UFO

This contains some definite spoilers so be warned... You also need to have 100% completion for it to work.

First off head to the location indicated on the map below and then fly directly upwards to about 3/4 of the maximum height that your chopper will allow.

Get there and you should begin to hear some strange sounds. Keep waiting around and the UFO will appear!

Vinewood Zombie

Los Santos has it's own zombie — The Vinewood Zombie! You can find him at the location indicated on the map below and have a chat by pressing right on the digital pad when you're nearby. He's got a few funny things to say...
