Tracking down the Navy Revolver in GTA Online is one of the most intriguing treasure hunts added during the Diamond Casino Heist update. Players must investigate five cryptic clues across San Andreas to solve the mystery of the Los Santos Slasher. Completing this hunt grants a powerful weapon alongside substantial in-game cash rewards.
Finding the Four Fixed Clue Locations
The first four clues for the Los Santos Slasher can be gathered in any order at set locations on the map. You will need to inspect a bloody handprint on a wooden shack door in Paleto Forest and a bloody machete embedded in a wall in Grapeseed. Next, locate a severed hand lying near trash bags by Sandy Shores Airfield and a wall message in Great Chaparral reading "Can you find me?"
Each clue discovered awards $5,000 to your bank account. Taking time to listen for subtle audio cues like ringing bells can help you pinpoint their exact spots quickly.
Locating the Random Slasher Van
Unlike the fixed clues, the fifth clue involves finding a black Burrito van containing bloody trash bags. This van appears randomly across five designated spawn locations spread around Blaine County and Raton Canyon. Check places like the marshlands near Lago Zancudo or under the highway bridge in Grand Senora Desert.
Once you locate the van and inspect the final clue, the Los Santos Slasher sends a threatening text message. This confirms that the final phase of the treasure hunt has officially begun.
Confronting the Los Santos Slasher
To spawn the serial killer, head to Blaine County during nighttime hours between 7 PM and 5 AM. The Slasher will spawn behind your character and attempt to attack with a melee weapon. Stand in an open location like the Sandy Shores Airfield runway so you can easily spot and eliminate him.
Defeating the killer rewards you with the secret Navy Revolver and an additional $50,000 cash bonus. Missing the encounter means he will continue to ambush you until you successfully stop him.
Unlocking Extra GTA Dollars and Cross-Game Rewards
After acquiring the weapon, completing 50 kills with the Navy Revolver grants a bonus of $200,000 GTA dollars. You can complete these kills on random NPCs or enemy targets throughout the city. The payout will deposit directly into your Maze Bank account upon completion.
Additionally, completing this challenge unlocks Lowry's Revolver in Red Dead Online for players using the same Social Club account. It serves as a fantastic reward for players who enjoy completing crossover content across both Rockstar titles.
