Las Venturas' horseshoes are one of the more difficult collectibles to find in GTA: San Andreas. Since there is very little information as to where they actually are, with no indicators on the map or anywhere in the game, it is one of the more tricky jobs if you're looking to get 100 percent on your save file.
The elusive collectibles also reward you with incredibly beneficial stat boosts and items or money. Typically, they're the kind of item you would randomly come across whilst enjoying the sandbox antics of Grand Theft Auto, but if you're serious about seeing everything San Andreas has to offer, they are an absolute must.
What Are Horseshoes?
Horseshoes are hidden collectibles found in and around GTA San Andreas. They are exclusive to the gambling city of Las Venturas, often found throughout the various gambling and illicit amenities available in the region.
Each horseshoe increases the player's luck by 20 as well as awarding them with an increase to their sex appeal and a handy $100. There are 50 horseshoes to find across Las Venturas, with some in relatively difficult, hard-to-reach locations, so a jetpack is recommended.
Once you've collected all 50, your luck will reach 1,000 — which, contrary to popular belief, doesn't actually affect gameplay or gambling skill — as well as awarding $100,000 and various weapons at The Four Dragons Casino.
Collecting all the horseshoes is required for a 100 percent save file and there is no in-game indicator as to where they might be.
All Horseshoe Locations
Many of the horseshoes on this list won't be accessible without either a jetpack or helicopter, so it is recommended you get one before embarking on this collectathon.
Unless you're okay with using cheat codes, the jetpack is only unlockable after completing the Green Goo Airstip mission, which unlocks after Black Project. Upon completing the mission, which involves stealing a surplus of goo from a train, the jetpack will be readily available at Verdant Meadows from then on.
