Before Red Dead Redemption 2 was released, Rockstar Games dropped a very special update to GTA Online. Players can earn the Golden Double-Action Revolver in GTA Online.

During the Doomsday Heist update a new ‘Treasure Hunt‘ mission was added for players. The reward for completing this new secret GTA Online mission is the Double-Action Revolver.

Here’s how to get it for yourself.

How To Get The Double-Action Revolver

To start the Treasure Hunt, you’ll need to wait for an email from ‘vanderlinde@eyefind.com.’

This is usually random, but it’s worth noting that if players exit Online Mode or close the game after you start the treasure hunt, the entire mission will reset.

When online free mode is started again, players will receive a new clue and location regardless of the player’s previous progress.

When you open the email you’ll be given your first clue for the treasure hunt. It’s a black and white picture of a random location in Los Santos.

There are 20 random locations, which change, every single time. A rough location is indicated by a circle area on the mini-map.

Go to the area and you’ll need to look for a piece of paper.

Here are all the possible locations:

• Del Perro Pier
• Mount Josiah / Cassidy Creek
• Vinewood Hills
• Pacific Bluffs Graveyard
• Tongva Hills Vineyards
• San Chianski Mountain Range
• Great Chaparral Church
• Cassidy Creek
• Tataviam Mountains
• Sandy Shores / Alamo Sea
• Grand Senora Desert
• San Chianski Mountain Range
• Los Santos Golf Club
• Pacific Ocean
• Paleto Bay
• Great Chaparral
• Sandy Shores
• Mount Chiliad
• Tongva Hills / Two Hoots Falls
• Sandy Shores

And if you want to match them to the picture, take a look at this video.

Once you’ve found the location, you’ll be given three fixed locations on your map which you need to go to. Each one will give a clue about where you’ll find the treasure.

These three clues consist of a corpse, a shovel and a small lock box.

The box location is at Joad Lane Tree, the Shovel is located at Sandy Shores Beach and the Corpse Location is at Tongva Hills Cave.

After you’ve located all three of the clues you should receive an in-game message which reads: “The final location of the treasure has been revealed. Go there to unlock the chest and collect your reward.”

Go to the location on the map and you’ll find that the family members have killed each other and left the treasure chest.

Open the chest and you’ll get the golden double-action revolver.

Finding the gun will also unlock a new challenge for players to take, which will also provide another big reward.

Golden Double-Action Revolver Challenge

Once you acquire your golden Double-Action Revolver, you’ll be given the Headshot Challenge, which requires players to use the revolver to get 50 headshots.

Do this and you’ll earn an extra GTA$250,000 reward (deposited directly into your Maze-Bank account), and unlock the gun in Red Dead Redemption 2 as well (when you link your Social Club account).

You can imply get 50 headshots on NPCs – you’ll also get an on-screen notification for every 10 headshots so you know how far you’ve got to go.

If you do want to check your progress at a later date, you need to navigate through the Pause menu with the following steps:

• Pause menu > Stats > Weapons > Double-Action Revolver > On the final page to see your current headshot count
