<span>Rockstar's attention to detail is another one of the reasons we love the franchise.</span>

Until GTA Online is running smoothly, we'll continue perusing "GTA V's" giant map to find all of the hidden goodies the creators have added.

We've put together some of the coolest items we've found along with those we've seen other gamers stumble upon.

Obviously, it has to do with the aliens found throughout the game. Looks like in addition to UFOs, we can gain access to a dinosaur(?), and a jetpack (sweet).

<h3>13. You can find a pink dinosaur outside of Rex's Diner in Sandy Shores.</h3>

<h3>17. There are a few drawings on Mt. Chiliad. One player found a face thinking it's Aaron Paul from "Breaking Bad."</h3>
