ORIGINAL: GTA 5 Online fans have discovered a huge Red Dead Redemption 2 secret hidden within the game files.
The latest Grand Theft Auto 5 update introduced the brand new Doomsday Heist.
And hidden within the Doomsday Heist game files is evidence that Rockstar Games is planning a Red Dead Redemption 2 surprise for GTA 5 fans.
Discovered by The Guru Team (via Kotaku), the files contain a number of unreleased vehicles and items.
Of particular interest is a brand new revolver that's linked to a headshot challenge. Fans will also be able to participate in a treasure hunt for a gold-plated six-shooter.
This scavenger hunt is said to take place over 20 different locations, including a mysterious grave.
There's no word on when the new mission will go live, but it's likely to be closer to the Red Dead Redemption 2 release date.
The news comes just days after the release of the GTA Online Doomsday Heist.
The plot sees an unlikely alliance team up to save San Andreas from total annihilation.
Players will explore downtown Los Santos, the inner depths of Mount Chiliad and even the ocean floor.
Rockstar explains: "A billionaire tech mogul, an idealistic intelligence agent, a socially awkward conspiracy theorist and a neurotic supercomputer have been forced into an unlikely alliance to save San Andreas from total annihilation.
"As apocalyptic threats mount from enemies unknown, you and your criminal crew are enlisted to un-tangle mysteries and eradicate threats spanning from the bustling streets of downtown Los Santos to the ocean floor and all the way to the inner depths of Mount Chiliad in an epic new online adventure."
GTA 5 Online's new Doomsday Heist is said to take upwards of 12 hours to complete.
The Heist is split into three parts and launches alongside 15 new vehicles.
This includes the Mammoth Thruster jetpack, as well as a car that appears to take inspiration from Back to the Future.
One thing that's worth remembering is that the Heist can only be accessed if a member of your crew owns a facility.
