The annual Festive Surprise event returns to Grand Theft Auto Online, and this year players can get into the holiday spirit with a bunch of new holiday content. This year’s main event is the Yeti Hunt, which rewards players with free clothing, but finding the Yeti is the hardest part of the battle.
Where to explore the Chiliad Desert in GTA Online
When you first log into GTA Online during the 2023 Holiday Surprise, you’ll receive a text from a hunter named Tanner. He warns you of an unknown creature terrorizing the Chiliad Desert and sends you on a quest for clues to track it down. The game only gives you a general area to search, so it can be frustrating to find each piece of evidence on your own.

In general, there is five yeti clues that can be found in GTA Online. Each of their locations is marked on the map above.
- A torn shirt
- A bloody tent
- Body parts
- Dead Dead
- Car accident
There will be no spots on your minimap for these items, even when you get close to them, so watch out and be careful. When you find a hint, press the interaction button (right on the D-Pad for controllers, E on the keyboard) to pick it up. After finding all five clues, return to the Chiliad Desert at night to continue your hunt.
How to beat the Yeti in GTA Online
If you return to the marked area after sunset, the yeti will appear and immediately begin to persecute you. Fortunately, he appears far away and is marked on your minimap with a red skull so you can prepare for battle.

Yeti can take an unusual amount of damage before you go down, make sure you take with you the best weapon and a lot of ammunition. It wouldn’t hurt to stock up on snacks and bulletproof vests just in case. Use your most powerful shotgun or assault rifle and be ready to dodge as soon as the Yeti gets close to attack.
After defeating the Yeti, the Yeti outfit will be added to your wardrobe so you can take matters into your own hands and terrorize the people of Los Santos on your own. You will also receive a bonus reward of $50,000 deposited directly into your Maze Bank account. It may not be as much money as the payout for Cayo Perico or Doomsday Heist, but it’s still a nice gift.
