U4GM's GTA 5 Guide to Smoke on the Water Collectibles

Andrew736

Plenty of Los Santos jobs pay well, but the Smoke on the Water pickup run is easier to fit into a normal session. There's no crew to organise and no long setup screen. Players building their garage, businesses, or cash pile through GTA 5 Accounts can treat it as a quick daily stop: find ten product parcels after the reset, collect them, and move on. Once you know what the parcels look like, the run feels less like searching and more like following a loose circuit across town.

What the daily run pays

The money is the main reason people keep doing it. Each parcel adds $7,500 straight away, so all ten pickups produce $75,000. Finishing the complete set also gives a $25,000 reward, bringing the day's take to $100,000. That's solid money for something that can be done in a fairly short stretch, especially when you're saving for a property, a vehicle, or equipment for one of your businesses. Miss one parcel, and you still keep what you've picked up, though the extra set reward won't arrive.

Recognising parcels and checking likely spots

You'll usually see a small bag or box rather than anything flashy. The labels can mention strains such as Red Harvest, Purple Sherbet, or Blueberry Cheesecake. Look closely at benches, counters, low walls, utility boxes, and tucked-away corners. The active ten spots change each day, so don't expect one fixed path to work forever.

At Los Santos International Airport, check the blue bench near the lower terminal entrance.
In Davis, take a minute to look through side alleys, rear yards, and brick utility structures.
Pillbox Hill can place one inside a small glass parking booth near Elgin Avenue.
West Vinewood homes often have parcels sitting on short decorative walls by the pavement.
Near Arthur's Pass Trails in Vinewood Hills, inspect the outdoor sink and counter area.

Keeping the route quick

A fast flying vehicle makes a noticeable difference. The Oppressor Mk II is useful because it can cross traffic, rooftops, hills, and awkward backyards without forcing you into long detours. The Sparrow and Buzzard also work well when locations are spread far apart. Don't rush past the pickup point, though; landing a few feet away is often quicker than circling for a perfect approach. For players using GTA 5 Boosting as part of their wider progress, this daily circuit remains a dependable extra source of cash while bigger goals are still in reach.
