Grand Theft Auto III hidden packages: all reward milestones and island totals
Find out what GTA III’s 100 hidden packages unlock, how the 33/36/31 island split works and how to track a missing package.
Original 2001 PlayStation 2 game. Button codes use the DualShock 2 layout. The Definitive Edition, mobile ports, later trophy lists and Liberty City Stories are outside this guide.
How many packages are on each island?
Liberty City contains 100 hidden packages: 33 in Portland, 36 on Staunton Island and 31 in Shoreside Vale. Each collection pays $1,000. They look like small wrapped white bundles, and many sit behind buildings or above street level. Use an island checklist so the final few missing packages can be narrowed to one part of town.
Rewards for 10 through 50 packages
Your hideouts gain a pistol at 10 packages, an Uzi at 20, grenades at 30, a shotgun at 40 and body armour at 50. These are recurring pickups rather than a single weapon placed directly in Claude’s hands. Visit the hideout between difficult missions to make use of the collection you have already completed.
Rewards for 60 through 100 packages
The later milestones provide Molotov cocktails at 60, an AK-47 at 70, a sniper rifle at 80, an M16 at 90 and a rocket launcher at 100. The final package also grants an additional $1,000,000. These totals are cumulative across all islands; you do not need to finish one island to trigger a milestone.
A method for finding the last missing package
Mark a package only after the on-screen counter increases, then save regularly. Revisit rooftops, alley ends, waterfront edges and enclosed yards when a checklist disagrees with your total. Some locations require a vehicle, boat or access opened later in the story, so record an inaccessible package separately instead of accidentally marking it collected.
