GTA Online has introduced a new collectible for the Lunar New Year: Yuanbao. These small metal ingots, representing wealth and prosperity, can be found hidden throughout Los Santos and Blaine County. While other collectibles in the game can have up to a hundred items to find, the Yuanbao are more manageable with only 36 to track down. However, this doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park; knowing where to look is crucial. If you want to earn GTA$, RP, and a special outfit, here’s a guide to help you find all the Yuanbao in GTA Online.
Searching for GTA Online Yuanbao
The Yuanbao collectibles are not very large, so you need to stay alert as you search for them. These 36 ingots can be found in various places like seats, walls, and building rooftops. As you get closer to a Yuanbao, you’ll hear some percussion music and your controller will vibrate, providing helpful cues to locate them. Once you find one, simply follow the prompt to collect it, and you’ll see how many you’ve discovered.
Yuanbao Locations in GTA Online
I’ve marked all 36 Yuanbao locations on the map above. While quite a few are located in Los Santos, you’ll also need to venture up to Blaine County to find the rest. For the best experience while searching, consider playing in an Invite Only lobby to avoid interruptions. Using a helicopter or an Oppressor Mk II will significantly speed up your search. Although the game shows you a count of Yuanbao collected, it doesn’t specify which ones, so it may be useful to save a copy of this map and check off each location as you find it. If you’re having trouble locating certain Yuanbao, you can purchase a Collectible Scanner for the Terrorbyte, which will help you find nearby ingots. Alternatively, check out this interactive map on GTAWeb.
What Rewards Do You Get for Collecting Yuanbao?
Each Yuanbao you collect awards you with $888 and 888 RP, and if you complete the collection by finding all 36, you’ll earn $88,888 for that last ingot. In total, collecting all of them nets you $119,968 and 31,968 RP, making it a worthwhile endeavor. Additionally, gathering all 36 Yuanbao will unlock the exclusive Gold Snake Santo Capra outfit, perfect for celebrating the Lunar New Year.
