Grand Theft Auto has a longstanding history with the mythical Bigfoot, with the creature said to have\u00a0appeared\u00a0in Rockstar’s games as far back as GTA: San Andreas.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

GTA V was no different, with the discovery of a golden peyote that transforms you into the legendary creature only adding fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n

Some inteprid gamers were able to access GTA V’s PC code and discover there were in fact seven peyote plants to be found, and that Rockstar was leading them on a treasure hunt.<\/p>\n

“While messing around with the original golden peyote Bigfoot, fans noticed that pressing a button would activate a sonar that would point them toward the location of the next peyote plant,” reports Kotaku<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“This was crucial in figuring out the order and days that needed to be assigned to each of the coordinates; Tuesday led to Wednesday, and so on.”<\/p>\n

However, upon discovering the seventh peyote the trail went cold, and gamers were left wondering if Rockstar had just led them on a wild-goose chase.<\/p>\n

That was until Rockstar added to its code in the game’s newest update, spawning a new Bigfoot on the map every time a seventh peyote was eaten.<\/p>\n

Since the peyotes eaten along the way turned the player into Bigfoot, fans figured out that they could use Bigfoot\u2019s roaring mechanic to make the monster respond with a roar of its own.<\/p>\n

Using that audio cue, players then needed to race to the appropriate location, passing through invisible checkpoints that were littered with the victims that the creature presumably murdered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Upon finally completing the chase and killing the beast you are rewarded with the BigFoot character’s skin for the game’s director mode.<\/p>\n
