One Reset, a Whole Map of Daily Pickups
GTA Online’s daily locations all reset at 06:00 UTC. Each new day brings one shipwreck, ten hidden caches, one stash house raid and one G’s Cache, plus fresh treasure chests and buried stashes waiting on Cayo Perico.
None of these spots is fixed. Every one rotates daily among a set of possible spawn locations, so no guide can honestly print today’s spot and stay correct tomorrow.
What a guide can do is explain the system: how many possible locations each pickup has, how the game tells you where today’s is, and what each one pays. That is what follows.
Key Takeaways
- Every daily pickup in this guide resets at 06:00 UTC, including the shipwreck, hidden caches, stash house, G’s Cache and the Cayo Perico pickups.
- The shipwreck pays GTA$25,000 and 2,000 RP once a day, and your first seven chests also drop outfit scraps for the Frontier Outfit.
- Ten hidden caches spawn underwater each day and pay GTA$10,000 and 500 RP each at the time of writing.
- A stash house raid refills one business’s supplies for free, or pays about GTA$30,000 if none of your businesses can take it.
- G’s Cache is personal to you, pays GTA$15,000 to GTA$22,250, and its location differs from every other player’s.
1. How the Daily Rotation Works
The daily reset lands at 06:00 UTC, and it drives more than the pickups in this guide. Daily Objectives refresh at the same moment, and so do the street dealers who buy business product around the map.
Most daily locations are shared rotations. The shipwreck, the ten hidden caches and the stash house sit in the same places for every player on a given day, drawn from fixed sets of possible spawns.
G’s Cache works the other way. Its location is rolled for you personally, so a friend standing in the same session sees a different search area on their own map.
Because the possible spawns are finite and mapped, community trackers and interactive maps update the day’s confirmed spots every morning. Use one alongside the in-game cues below and each pickup takes minutes.
Every pickup in this guide can be collected entirely alone, which is why they pair so well with the routes in our solo money guide for GTA Online.
2. The Daily Shipwreck
One shipwreck washes up on the coast each day. It appears at one of 30 mapped spots around the shoreline of Los Santos and Blaine County, following a fixed rotation that is the same for everyone.
Opening the chest pays GTA$25,000 and 2,000 RP. Rockstar raised the cash from GTA$20,000 in the San Andreas Mercenaries update, and the higher figure is the one to expect now.
Your first seven chests also contain outfit scraps. Collect all seven and they complete the Frontier Outfit, a one-time reward on top of the daily cash.
Progress is tracked under Daily Collectibles in the Interaction Menu. When you get close to the wreck, the game helps you: listen for a chime and, on a controller, a vibration as you near it.
The wreck itself is a beached, broken boat on the sand or rocks, and the chest sits beside it. Walk up and open it: the cash and RP pay out immediately, and there is nothing to deliver or defend afterwards.
3. Hidden Caches: The Daily Hidden Packages
The hidden packages of GTA Online are the hidden caches: ten treasure chests placed underwater each day. They are drawn from 100 possible spots around the coast, and the same ten are active for every player.
Each cache pays GTA$10,000 and 500 RP at the time of writing. They originally paid GTA$7,500 each when the feature launched, so older guides quoting the lower figure are out of date.
Finding them blind would take all day, so use sonar. The Sonar Station on the Kosatka submarine reveals the day’s caches on your map, and the sonar fitted to an Avisa or a Toreador reveals them too.
The Kosatka itself costs GTA$2,200,000 and the Sonar Station upgrade adds GTA$1,200,000. If you already own the submarine for its heist, the caches turn a swim into easy money.
4. Stash Houses
One stash house is active each day, chosen from 25 possible locations. When you enter Freemode, its purple house icon is already on your map, so there is nothing to hunt for.
The raid is a short solo job. Clear out the dealers inside, then look for the safe code written on a sticky note somewhere in the house before you open the safe.
Your reward is a free, full supply refill for one random business of yours that uses supplies. If you own no business that can take it, you receive about GTA$30,000 and 1,000 RP instead.
That refill is why the raid is worth two minutes even for wealthy players. It lands on businesses like the ones ranked in our best businesses in GTA Online list, and a free refill for a Bunker saves you a full-price supply purchase.
5. G’s Caches
G’s Caches are daily dead drops added in February 2023 as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars continuation. One appears per day, and its icon shows on your map as soon as you enter Freemode.
Each cache sits in one of 15 areas, with five possible stash spots inside the marked search circle. Unlike the shipwreck and caches, your area is personal: other players are hunting different spots.
The stash announces itself as you close in. Listen for beeping that speeds up as you approach, and look for a small red flashing light, with a controller vibration on top.
Inside is a random cash bundle worth GTA$15,000 to GTA$22,250, plus ammunition and snacks. Gerald’s people warn the police may be watching, and a two-star wanted level can follow the pickup.
6. Cayo Perico: Treasure Chests and Buried Stashes
The island runs its own daily pair. Two treasure chests spawn on Cayo Perico each day, one on land and one underwater, drawn from 19 possible spots, and both are collected during a heist scope-out.
Each chest pays GTA$25,000 and 1,000 RP. They reward players who scope the island properly instead of rushing straight to the finale, and they respawn fresh every day.
Two buried stashes also spawn daily, from 20 possible locations. On the scope-out they appear as question-mark search circles, and each pays GTA$25,000 and 1,000 RP when dug up.
Buried stashes need the Metal Detector first. It is a one-time pickup from a skeleton random event that appears at one of ten spots along the southern Los Santos coast, marked by a blue dot when you are close.
Once you own the detector it stays with you, so the unlock is a single errand. Our Cayo Perico Heist guide covers the scope-out these pickups are built around.
7. Putting Together a Daily Route
Start with the free information. The stash house and G’s Cache icons are already on your map when you load in, so clear those two first while you decide what else the day is for.
Pair the shipwreck with the hidden caches. Both live around the coast, and a Kosatka trip that pings the caches with sonar usually passes close to the day’s wreck on the same loop.
Fold the Cayo pickups into scope-outs you were doing anyway. On their own they rarely justify a flight to the island, but added to a heist you already planned, they are nearly free money.
Played this way, the dailies are a steady base layer rather than a fortune. They sit underneath the bigger earners in our fast money guide for GTA Online, and they take fifteen minutes once the routine clicks.
One last habit: check the weekly update. Rockstar’s Thursday posts regularly put bonus money on one of the activities in this guide, and a doubled shipwreck or stash house week is the moment to make the route a daily priority rather than an optional extra.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time do GTA Online’s daily locations reset?
They reset at 06:00 UTC every day. The shipwreck, hidden caches, stash house, G’s Cache, Cayo Perico pickups, Daily Objectives and street dealers all refresh at that same moment.
Are the daily locations the same for every player?
Mostly, yes. The shipwreck, hidden caches and stash house are in the same places for everyone on a given day. G’s Cache is the exception: its location is rolled personally for each player.
How many hidden caches are there per day?
Ten. They spawn underwater each day, drawn from 100 possible locations, and each one pays GTA$10,000 and 500 RP at the time of writing.
Do I need a Kosatka to find the hidden caches?
Not strictly, but sonar is the practical way to find them. The Kosatka’s Sonar Station reveals them on your map, and the sonar on an Avisa or Toreador does the same job.
Where is today’s shipwreck location?
It cannot be listed permanently, because it moves daily among 30 mapped coastal spots in a fixed rotation. Check the Daily Collectibles tracker in your Interaction Menu and use the proximity chime when you arrive in the area.
What do you get from a stash house raid?
A free full supply refill for one random business that uses supplies. If none of your businesses can accept it, you get about GTA$30,000 and 1,000 RP instead.
Where is the safe code in a stash house?
On a sticky note inside the house. Clear the dealers first, then search the rooms: the note is placed somewhere in the interior, and you need its code before the safe will open.
What is G’s Cache in GTA Online?
A daily dead drop added with the Los Santos Drug Wars continuation. One spawns for you personally each day inside a marked search area, pays GTA$15,000 to GTA$22,250 plus ammo and snacks, and may leave you with a two-star wanted level.
How do I get the Metal Detector for buried stashes?
It is a one-time pickup from a skeleton random event along the southern Los Santos coast. When the event triggers near one of its ten spots, a blue dot marks it: pick the detector up once and you keep it for every future stash.
Are the daily collectibles worth doing?
Yes, as a routine rather than a main income. The shipwreck, ten caches, G’s Cache and a stash house together are worth well over GTA$150,000 a day before any Cayo pickups, and most days they take about fifteen minutes.
Wrapping Up
Daily locations reward routine, not luck. Learn the reset time, learn how many possible spawns each pickup has, and let the game’s own icons, sonar and sound cues do the finding for you.
Build the shipwreck, caches, stash house and G’s Cache into the start of a session and they quietly fund everything else you planned to do that day.
