Paleto Cove Briefcase

• The Paleto Cove Briefcase is situated in the Paleto Cove region, which can be found north of Paleto Bay on the game’s map.
• However, The briefcase is submerged underwater, resting on the seabed, and is located just off the coast of the cove. I advise using a diving suit as you won’t be able to hold your breath underwater otherwise. 
• It rewards players with $12,000.

North Chumash Briefcase

• The North Chumash Beach is north of Los Santos. The briefcase is located underwater near the remains of a sunken boat on the seabed.
• Again, I advise using a diving suit to get to it.
• It contains $12,500 in cash. 

Zancudo Briefcase

• The Zancudo Briefcase is situated within the Zancudo Riverbed, which passes through the military base. Players must navigate to a drainage pipe beneath the riverbed to find the briefcase.
• Although the location can be accessed by swimming up the riverbed, the easiest way to reach the briefcase is by entering the military base through the main gate and following the riverbed until the pipe is reached.
• However, I found that this task can be more challenging and dangerous due to the presence of military personnel and guard towers.
• You can discover $9,000 in this briefcase. 

Los Santos Docks Briefcase

• The Los Santos Docks Briefcase is concealed within a warehouse in the industrial and bustling shipping port of Los Santos Docks.
• It offers an attractive reward of $11,000 to the player who discovers it. 

Banning Briefcase

• To find the Banning Briefcase in GTA V, you must search for a sunken container bed visible just below the water’s surface. As the briefcase was placed on top of the container bed, I didn’t have to use any scuba diving equipment.
• The Banning Briefcase contains $7,500 in cash.

 Murrieta Fields Briefcase

• You can find the Murrieta Fields Briefcase at the wreckage site of a crashed plane on the ocean floor. You can find the package below the debris of the plane’s left wing.
• I recommend using a scuba gear or a submarine to reach the package.
• Finally, the Murrieta Fields Briefcase offers a substantial reward of $16,500.

Palomino Highlands Briefcase

• Players can find the Palomino Highlands Briefcase by swimming to the ocean floor at the peninsula’s center. The briefcase is situated on the right side of a sunken steamer ship, a useful landmark for locating the package.
• Furthermore, if players manage to locate the Palomino Highlands Briefcase, they can earn a reward of $7,000. 

Pacific Bluffs Briefcase

• To find the Pacific Bluffs Briefcase, players must head to a sunken submarine and look for the package on top of the wreck, close to the entrance hatch. You can easily find it without much effort.
• The Pacific Bluffs Briefcase is the most valuable hidden package in the game, containing a whopping $25,000 in cash.

Ron Winds Alternative Briefcase

• The Ron Winds Alternate Briefcase is a hidden package in the ocean’s depths, concealed within a military truck wreck.
• You must undertake a challenging dive to reach the package, as the murky waters and numerous sunken military vehicles such as tanks and trucks, can make the search difficult.
• It offers a cash prize of $10,000 to the player who successfully finds it.

My Verdict

I would say there are better and more rewarding ways to get money in GTA V, and only look for these briefcases if your goal is to fulfill missions. Personally, I look for high-tier rewards with more money. I guess that’s also the reason I didn’t enjoy roaming around these locations.

However, if exploration and fulfilling missions is your primary goal, then this is not a bad start. I hope this guide helped with your queries.
