  • How to unlock Waste Management

    Before you can begin collecting the 30 Nuclear Waste collectibles, you will need to buy the Sonar Collections Dock - located in Blaine County - for $250,000. This property can be purchased by any of the three characters and will only be available after completing the "The Merryweather Heist" story mission.

    In order to pick up the nuclear waste, which is scattered around the ocean floor, you need to use the yellow submarine that always spawns at the docks of this property. Buying the docks will also give you a new app called "Trackify," which will automatically turn on when entering the submarine as it provides a sonar radar that points to the nearest collectible. The order of collectibles in the video below matches with the order of the Trackify app. The app will not mark any of the waste on your in-game world map and sometimes, a piece of waste is extremely far away on a different part of the coast; so be sure to follow the video to a tee. The submarine is also VERY slow, so if you're trying to collect all the nuclear waste in one run, it will take just around two hours.

    Fortunately, collecting all the nuclear waste will help uncover the ocean on your map if it is not already cleared up. In addition to this, you will earn $23,000 per piece of nuclear waste you find if you collect them with the character who purchased the Docks, and an additional $250,000 bonus after finding the last piece of waste.

  • Here is one I'm not happy to see again. Worst 2hrs I spent on gta last time round. Hopefully be able to listen to the radio in the sub this time!!!!
  • I actually liked this one for some reason. It's better when played in FPV, and yes the radio works this time. You get almost $500K after finding all 30 Barrels, plus it's an easy way to max out your Lung Capacity. The tracker can be a pain though, especially when trying to maneuver through the reefs, and islands.
  • Here we go again! Was a nightmare to get this done on X360, hope it's better in FPV as @2 said...
  • I dont think it gets better, its a pain in the @ss and a waste of time, the 500k is useless at the end of the game, i have 36 million
  • I never found it that bad last time, and it felt even easier this time!
  • This achievement is hard to get if you have a deep fear of the ocean... For anyone struggling like I did, remember you aren't the only one.
