Where To Find The Clues in The Los Santos Slasher Quest in Grand Theft Auto 5

All of the clues can be located at the Blaine County location on the map. The first clue is located at the Cherry Pie Farm in Great Chapparal. Outdoors, under a small lamp, players will find written on a brick wall “Can You Find Me?”. The best time to search for this clue would be during the day, as the map illuminates the text on the wall, making it easier to find. Observe the brick wall in the first-person mode to trigger the “Clues Investigated” toggle. This is the first clue of the quest.

Players can find the second clue located near the Sandy Shores Airfield. Head northwest of the Sandy Shores Airfield to a small group of filled white and black garbage bags near a rusted fence. Inbetween a black garbage bag and a tire, players will locate a severed hand on the ground, covered in blood. Observe the hand in the first person to make it count towards the clue counter. This is the second clue of the quest.

As for the third clue, players must head to Grapeseed. Once at Grapeseed, search for a wooden barn surrounding several white tents. Players must walk to the east of the Binco Clothing to find the barn. On the exterior of the barn, players will find a machete attached to the wall. Examine it in the first person to collect the clue.

The fourth clue can be found at the Bayview Lodge in Paleto Forest. Located next to the road closest to the shoreline. Once at the Bayview Lodge, go behind it to find a small white shed. On the door of the shed will be a bloody handprint. Examine it in the first person to collect the fourth clue.

The fifth and final clue is more complicated than the previous, as this clue has the potential to spawn in five different locations. It’s completely random based on each player. As for what the clue is, the final clue is a black speedo van with its back doors open. Inside the van, players can find blood, several machetes, and black bags covering the interior. The first potential spawn would be near Fort Zancudo. It will be near the river, hidden within the bushes. The second is in the Mount Gordo area. The van will potentially spawn on the side of the train tracks on wooden planks. The third spawn is the Palmer-Taylor Power Station. It will be behind a red horizontal tank and a large white one. The fourth spawn is near the San Chianski Mountain Range. Players can find it under the highway right next to the train tracks. The final spawn location is by the river at the Raton Canyon. Players can find the van between some trees.

After finding the van at one of these locations, the player will receive a threatening text message from the Slasher marked as “Unknown”. To find the killer, he will come after the player in the Blaine County area only at night between 7 P.M and 5 A.M. The Slasher will sneak up on the player, so always be aware of the surroundings and avoid being in a closed-off area to prevent any potential damages. Head to the Sandy Shores Airfield, as this is a wide-open area and wait. Be aware of the surroundings and eventually, the Slasher will appear on the map. Takedown the Slasher to be rewarded the Navy Revolver gun. If players can get 50 headshot kills with the Navy Revolver gun, they will be rewarded with $200,000 GTA money and an exclusive weapon for Red Dead Online.

The weapon can be found in Red Dead Redemption 2 online. The interconnectedness between Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 has boosted replayability between both titles, as little secrets can be found that can be sent to the other within the game. The Grand Theft Auto series has always thrived itself in out-of-this-world side quest experiences. In the very same game, Grand Theft Auto 5, players can find a UFO above Sandy Shores after completing the game 100%. Small tidbits like this show that the developers are having fun with their in-game engine and continue to surprise its players with these strange gameplay experiences. The Los Santos Slasher quest is another example of Rockstar doing whatever they want with their franchises, and players wouldn’t have it any other way.
