Hello and welcome back to the eighty-sixth episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. So, today we’re gonna be searching for the thirty-five hidden packages scattered throughout Staunton Island. We’re going to be trading up this Banshee for two emergency vehicles at some point to help with one or so packages. And, I’m not gonna be in a rush either for this episode. Just like Portland Island packages because I like to take in the scenery, show off awesome Staunton Island to you guys. So, without further ado, ‘Hidden Package‘ thirty-four. Thirty-four to go. Up these stairs. Might as well grab some Body Armour while we’re here, might come in handy. Watch out for the hostile gangs here. You might get lucky. On top of this little mini bridge thing, you can run up. See the package up there. We got beautiful Portland Island over there. This is where we’re gonna swap up the vehicle for a Paramedic Ambulance, farewell Banshee. See the package up there. Hidden package thirty-nine. My bad, we were meant to go down here, just remembered.
Hidden package forty and we’ve now unlocked the Shotgun icon back at every safehouse we’ve unlocked, which’ll be nice to see. Use the vehicle here again to get in. This is where we rescued the oriental gentlemen for Donald Love. Watch out guy. Up here in the stadium there is one hidden. Just the side of Staunton Island Fire Station you’ll find one. It’s back here, whoops. Got a little ahead of myself there. There’s one down their as you can see so, let’s try and jump off here and land on our two wheels. Ah, four wheels I mean. Two wheels. Come into Belleville Park. As we see in the basketball courts just their. So the, by the end of this we should have three additional weapon icon unlocks, one being the Body Armour. Hidden package forty-nine. Right over here near the Unique Stunt Jump. There’s our Body Armour unlocked. Got some gangs after us ah. Sounds like a Yardie. Get away from him. Hidden package fifty-two. So, this is where we’re gonna change vehicles to a Police emergency vehicle. Ah look at that plane in the sky, so cool. Liberty City Police Department.
Need this Police cruiser to gain access into their car yard or, whatever you wanna call it. Save some time, just jump down here. Okay, we’re changing vehicles. But, won’t need to do that just yet anyway. Have to go to both the docks around here to get a hidden package. That’s a Predator Police boat. Might as well just stay on foot here. Ah nah, just in case we wanna keep this Banshee. Here’s the other section where the docks are up here. Almost about to approach midnight GTA time. So peaceful out here on the docks. Hidden package fifty-five. Can see a light house out there. What’re y’all doing? Take this little shortcut. Here at Kenji’s Casino that’s now deceased. Mr. Kenji Kasen. Unfortunately, Donald Love hired us to do the dirty work. Asuka and that, assumes that it was the Colombian Cartel because of our Cartel Cruiser, It was a good disguise. Hidden package fifty-six. Almost there. Ah, I’m surrounded by people. Just over here there’s like a little dock bit. Oh that was close. Careful of that, you can go around. Hidden package fifty-nine. Let me just soak up the view here. Awe, look at that incoming plane, that’s cool.
See, I could have just driven down here but, I thought I’d save some time. Package number sixty. Let’s try that again. Alright, we’re just gonna try and launch off here now. Pretty easy with this vehicle. Hidden package sixty-three. Jump in this Kuruma. Hidden package sixty-four, almost home. Okay, that didn’t work. Okay, maybe just ram through that glass. Maybe just come straight through here. At the AmCo building. And, if you remember where we done the rampage icon that we had to Sniper Rifle, I think it was seventeen Yardie heads we had to pop. Up here is the final hidden package. This is obviously a flight or so higher. Where was it again? I think it was at the very top. There we go. Hidden package sixty-eight. And that’s it, I guess. We’ve now unlocked three new weapon icons. I don’t know if you’d call Body Armour a weapon. But, It’s gonna come in handy regardless. So now, we’ll head back to our safehouse in Staunton Island. I think um, that’s still equipped from last episode. Let me toggle that off. As you can see over here theirs our Body Armour, Molotov Cocktail and Shotgun that we unlocked. So now, we got all these items, yay. I hope you enjoyed this episode and I’ll see you on the next.

Successfully collecting the hidden packages scattered throughout Staunton Island is more than a side hustle; it’s a game-changer.

Rewards and Unlocks: Navigating the Treasure Trove
Collecting hidden packages isn’t just about the thrill of the hunt in GTA 3 The Definitive Edition. Each collected package brings significant rewards your way, both in cash and equipment, enhancing your capabilities in the game. Cash rewards flow consistently, with each package fetching $1,000 GTA, adding up to a cool $35,000 GTA once you’ve finished raiding Staunton Island alone.
Beyond the dollars, each set of ten packages you collect unlocks new weapons for your arsenal. These range from basics like the Pistol and Uzi to more powerful tools like the M16 and the Rocket Launcher. With each step up in weaponry, you gain a strategic advantage, especially when missions demand higher firepower.
Unlocking the Uzi after collecting 20 packages is a turning point. It’s a particularly handy weapon for mid-mission drive-bys, giving you an edge when velocity meets violence. Quickly gathering 50 packages for free Body Armor is another smart move. The added protection proves invaluable as you face tougher sections on the island and beyond.
By the time you’ve collected all 100 hidden packages, you’ll have unlocked an entire arsenal available at your safehouses, topped off with a hefty million-dollar sum. This eases the pressure of in-game expenses, allowing for more adventurous gameplay choices and indulging in bigger, riskier missions.
Strategically planning which packages to gather not only sharpens your in-game experience but also ensures you make the most of the gear and financial benefits. This approach transforms package hunting from a mere chore into a fun and integral part of surviving and thriving in the mean streets of Liberty City.
From Novice to Pro: Mastering Hidden Package Collection
Finding every hidden package on Staunton Island isn’t just about patience—it’s about strategy and skill. Start by familiarising yourself with the trickier locations, which often hide the most rewarding packages. For those tucked away in deceptively simple places, you’ll need a mix of stealth and observation to claim them.
Use elevation to your advantage. Much of Staunton Island’s terrain is multi-levelled, with rooftops and bridges offering vantage points—and often hiding places for packages. Vehicles, like a sturdy van or the traffic changing Ambulance, can help you access hard-to-reach spots that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Developing a routine helps streamline your search process. Plot out your path through the island based on known package locations, and stick to a logical route that ensures thorough coverage. Keep track digitally or on paper to avoid doubling back unnecessarily.
Don’t overlook community resources—online maps, videos and forums abound with insights from other players. These communities offer shared wisdom that can guide you in pinpointing elusive packages that might otherwise cause bottlenecks in your collection mission.
As you close in on the final count of 100, relish in the accomplishment. Each package represents not just a step closer to a monetary or firepower goal, but mastery over the game’s challenges. Reaching the full set is more than just a checklist item—it’s proof of your expertise as a seasoned player of GTA 3 The Definitive Edition.
