GTA 5 Monkey Mosaics locations for every piece of tiled art

GTA 5 Monkey Mosaics

GTA 5 Monkey Mosaics have been attached to walls across Los Santos and Blaine County by a mysterious Banksy-esque artist, and their guerrilla artwork obviously has a simian inspiration running through it. There are 50 of these cheeky chimps hiding in tile form, and if you can photograph them all then there are several rewards on offer – a few 'special' Space Monkey outfits for Trevor, plus a bonus mission that leads to you adding the exclusive Dinka Go Go Monkey Blista car to one of your garages.

To begin locating all of these installations you need to finish the Complications mission with Franklin, which will earn you a text from Lamar telling you about artwork that has been appearing around town. You'll be able to 'collect' these displays in GTA 5 by taking pictures of them with your phone. Once you've snapped all 50 you'll unlock some Space Monkey clothes for Trevor, and make the final task available which unlocks the special Dinka Go Go Monkey Blista vehicle. We've got every GTA 5 Monkey Mosaic for you below, so you can track them all down and earn those rewards.

After a couple of days, a Random Event marker will appear on your map near the Los Santos Customs in Burton.

Sneak up on the monkey-masked artist from the west so you don't get spotted, and snap them in the act.

Let them escape, then wait for a text from Space Monkey informing you that a new vehicle has been delivered to the personal garage of the character who photographed the artist.

Congratulations - you have now unlocked the Dinka Go Go Monkey Blista!
