The GTA 5 Epsilon Tracts locations are ten collectibles that unlock after you finish the eighth and last Epsilon mission, Unknowing the Truth, whatever outcome you chose. Michael receives an email from Marnie with the first clue, and any protagonist can then pick up the tracts, although only Michael gets the clues.
Key facts
- Unlocked by: Unknowing the Truth, the last mission of the Epsilon Program
- Total: 10 tracts, one available at a time and in fixed order
- Clues: texts from Marnie Allen, sent to Michael only
- Reward: the complete Epsilon Tract of the 9th Paradigm, Year 157
- Heads-up: the second tract sometimes fails to appear; reload the game

How the collection works
Only one tract is active at a time, so you cannot skip ahead. Each time you switch to Michael or load a game that starts with him, he receives another copy of the latest clue, which can fill his phone with duplicate messages. That matters most when a location is not yet reachable, such as the second tract, which needs a certain mission completed and access to a certain vehicle.
Reward and bugs
After the tenth tract, Marnie emails a congratulations message with a link that opens the complete tract on the Epsilon website. That link is the only way in, so do not delete the email. Opening it ends Michael’s involvement with the cult and no further missions follow. If the second tract does not show up after the first, reloading the game makes it appear normally.
The GTA 5 map helps plan the route between the Mount Chiliad spots, the coast and the city.
