GTA Online West Coast Classics event: A brief guide on how to complete it

As mentioned, West Coast Classics is a radio station in the game, so naturally, the event is also based on finding a media stick that will allow the players to listen to a special mixtape by DJ Pooh. However, finding this stick on the humongous GTA Online map is a little tricky.

Rockstar Games informed the community of this event on December 15 with this message:

"To commemorate a decade of hosting Los Santos' preeminent classic hip-hop station, DJ Pooh has hidden a special mix of the album somewhere in town. You'll need to call in to West Coast Classics for clues, and also make sure to listen for some very special shoutouts from notable friends of WCC's iconic DJ to celebrate his legendary run."

To start, players must wait for an email from West Coast Classics. Once this happens, they will need to call the radio station from their in-game smartphone (or dial 611-555-0110). The call will play a small message mentioning the district as well as a hint about the location of the media stick.

Here is a list of all the Los Santos districts that might have the GTA Online media sticks:

• Grove Street
• Del Perro Pier
• Premium Deluxe Motorsport
• Maze Bank Tower
• Galileo Observatory

The message will also reveal the exact location of the media stick in these districts, but players must listen carefully, or they'll miss the hint.

Once they get their hands on the media stick, they can listen to the newly added tracks on the West Coast Classics media player in the game. While this event doesn't offer any cash reward, it is still an interesting treasure hunt to allow players to take a break from the Salvage Yard missions.

Fans are hopeful that the studio will also include similar small missions and tasks in Grand Theft Auto 6.
