For Grand Theft Auto V enthusiasts aiming to unlock the elusive Kifflom Trophy or Achievement, navigating the enigmatic Epsilon Program is essential. This guide will illuminate your path through the Epsilon Program missions, detailing where to find the epsilon program cars and how to successfully complete each step in this bizarre yet rewarding side questline. The Epsilon Program, a recurring satirical element throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, is a celebrity-endorsed cult that Michael De Santa can encounter in GTA 5 after a certain point in the main story. Joining this cult initiates a series of unconventional missions, a ‘journey of spiritual enlightenment’ as they call it, which often descends into comical and perplexing tasks. If you’re scratching your head about what to do next in your Epsilon journey, fear not. This comprehensive guide will walk you through each Epsilon Program mission in GTA 5, ensuring you earn that Kifflom! Trophy or Achievement and even discover optional Epsilon Tracts along the way.
GTA 5 Epsilon Missions Walkthrough
How to Start the GTA 5 Epsilon Missions
To embark on your spiritual journey with the Epsilon Program, you first need to unlock access to their website. This becomes available for Michael after completing the main story mission Father and Son. Once you’ve reached this point, pull out Michael’s in-game phone and open the internet app, or use any computer within the game world. Use the EyeFind search engine and type in “Epsilon”. Click on the top search result to reach the Epsilon Program website and fill out their evaluation form. Rest assured, your answers in this form have absolutely no impact on the subsequent side missions, so answer freely.
Following your evaluation, the Epsilon Program will task Michael with locating a specific red truck.
Seeking the Truth
A question mark icon will now appear in the Raton Canyon area on your map. Navigate to this location to find the red truck you are tasked with locating. This initial side quest is essentially a brief cutscene trigger. Simply reach the truck’s location to initiate the scene and complete this introductory step.
Shortly after, you will receive an email from the Epsilon Program requesting a $500 donation to the Church of Epsilon. To proceed further and unlock the next mission, revisit the Epsilon website and make this required donation.
Accepting the Truth
The next Epsilon mission will become available shortly after your donation. Keep an eye on your map for the Epsilon Program logo to appear. Once visible, head to the marked location to begin the next phase of your enlightenment quest. Upon arrival, you’ll meet Marnie, your new contact within the Epsilon Program. Marnie will inform you that further enlightenment requires another financial contribution – this time a $5,000 donation. As before, you’ll need to return to the Epsilon website and make the $5,000 donation to continue your journey.
Assuming the Truth
Another Epsilon Program symbol will soon pop up on your map, this time in the Grapeseed area. Travel to this location to meet Marnie once again. For this mission, Marnie tasks you with a more hands-on objective: stealing five specific vehicles for high-ranking members of the Epsilon Program. These aren’t just any cars; they are five ‘very special vehicles’. The cars you need to acquire are: the Pegassi Vacca, Benefactor Surano, Declasse Tornado, Enus Super Diamond, and Dinka Double-T. Finding the epsilon program cars might seem daunting, but locating these vehicles is surprisingly straightforward if you know where to look. Here are the precise locations for each of these sought-after vehicles:
Pegassi Vacca Location: Parked in a Driveway
The Pegassi Vacca, a sleek supercar, can be found parked in a driveway. The exact location is marked on your in-game map once the mission is active, making it easy to pinpoint.
Benefactor Surano Location: Parked in a Small Lot
The Benefactor Surano, a stylish sports car, is conveniently parked in a small, easily accessible lot. Similar to the Vacca, the mission marker will guide you directly to its location.
Declasse Tornado Location: Parked at a Body Shop
The classic Declasse Tornado is located parked at a body shop. This vehicle is easily recognizable and the body shop location is clearly marked on your map.
Enus Super Diamond Location: Parked Behind a Building
The luxurious Enus Super Diamond is parked discreetly behind a building. Follow the mission marker to find this high-end sedan.
Dinka Double-T Location: Parked at the LifeInvader Offices
The sporty Dinka Double-T motorcycle is parked at the LifeInvader offices. This location is well-known in GTA 5 and easily accessible.
Once you have successfully delivered all five vehicles to the designated drop-off points, this mission will conclude, and yet another Epsilon Program logo will materialize on your map, signaling the next step in your enlightenment.
Chasing the Truth
Head towards the newly appeared Epsilon Program logo to initiate the next mission. This time, Marnie and Jimmy enlist your help in locating several items they believe to be of extraterrestrial origin. You are tasked with finding three specific items to satisfy their peculiar search. Similar to finding the epsilon program cars, locating these items is quite simple once you know the general areas to search.
The first item on your list is a TV. Head northwest from your starting location for this mission, towards a fence. The TV is located along this fence line.
The second item is described as some sort of battery. From the TV location, head directly north towards the dry riverbed nearby. Just before the terrain slopes down into the stream, you’ll find the battery near some bushes.
The final item to find is a boot. Head southeast from the battery location to a small picnic area. Just past this picnic spot, you will find the boot you are looking for.
With all three ‘alien’ items located, you will now need to make another donation of $10,000 for further “enlightenment.” Access the Epsilon Program website on your phone and make two separate donations of $5,000 each to unlock the next mission.
Bearing the Truth
Once the Epsilon Program logo reappears on your map, head to the location to start the next mission. Marnie’s next task for you is to wear Epsilon robes for a period of 10 days. While this might sound tedious, it’s not as drawn-out as it seems. First, you’ll need to purchase the Epsilon robes from the Epsilon Program website for a hefty sum of $25,000. Yes, these robes come with a significant price tag. After purchasing them and waiting for one in-game day cycle, the robes will become available in Michael’s wardrobe.
Now, the 10-day requirement can be bypassed efficiently by utilizing the game’s sleep mechanic. Repeatedly have Michael sleep in his bed. Sleeping advances time rapidly in GTA 5. Continue sleeping repeatedly until the in-game timer indicates that 10 days have passed. A new mission will unlock automatically once the time requirement is met.
Delivering the Truth
This mission is remarkably straightforward. Navigate to the new Epsilon Program logo on your map. Upon arrival, you will meet Torn, who instructs you to fly a plane to a designated airfield. Enter the provided aircraft and fly it to the marked destination to successfully complete this mission.
Exercising the Truth
Another Epsilon Program logo will soon appear on your map. Ensure Michael is wearing the Epsilon robes you purchased earlier, and then head to the marked location to rejoin the Epsilon crew. They are preparing to send you to meet Cris Formage, the leader of the Epsilon Program himself. However, before this momentous meeting, you must first complete a physical test: running five miles through the desert. Yes, you read that correctly.
There are two methods to complete this five-mile run. The active method involves manually holding down the run button and guiding Michael to run continuously until you receive an in-game notification that the five miles are completed. The passive method, for those who prefer a less hands-on approach, involves using a rubber band and a small weighted object. Secure the rubber band around your controller’s thumbstick to push it forward and weigh down the run button with a small object. This will cause Michael to run continuously without manual input. You can then leave your game running and return later to find the task completed.
Choose whichever method suits you best. Once the five-mile run is registered as complete, you will receive a phone call initiating the final Epsilon Program mission.
Unknowing the Truth
You have been summoned to the Epsilon Program Center by Cris Formage, the charismatic founder of the Epsilon Program. Make sure Michael is wearing his Epsilon robes and head to the Epsilon Program logo location to begin the final mission. It’s also crucial to ensure you have at least $50,000 in Michael’s bank account. This sum is ostensibly for Cris, who adds it to a car trunk full of cash, claiming it’s for various investments.
After the initial cutscene and the transfer of your $50,000 ‘donation’, follow Cris’ security detail to the designated drop-off point. Upon reaching the location, you are presented with a crucial choice. You can either leave the car at the drop zone as instructed to complete your ‘enlightenment’, or you can choose to steal Cris’ car and abscond with the considerable sum of money contained within.
Should you opt to steal the car, you’ll need to quickly neutralize Cris’ security detail. Using an RPG or sticky bombs is highly recommended to efficiently deal with the pursuing helicopter. Once you’ve dealt with the immediate threats, escape the pursuing police (or Epsilon guards, depending on your actions). Successfully evading your pursuers concludes the mission. Whether you choose enlightenment or enrichment, you will receive the coveted Kifflom! achievement/trophy for completing the Epsilon Program mission line. Enlightenment, or perhaps financial freedom, is now yours.

Upon completing the Epsilon Program mission storyline, Marnie will send you a cryptic clue about finding an Epsilon Tract. In total, there are 10 Epsilon Tracts scattered throughout San Andreas. Marnie provides a new clue each time you locate the previous tract. While you will have already unlocked the Kifflom! achievement/trophy by this point, collecting these tracts is purely for completionist enjoyment. There is no in-game reward for finding all of them, but for dedicated collectors, we have compiled all the locations:
Tract #1 – Mount Chiliad
The first Epsilon tract is located at the summit of Mount Chiliad. Head to the observation deck at the very top of the mountain to find it.
Tract #2 – Palamino Highlands
Off the east coast of the Palamino Highlands, you’ll find a bay. Take a dinghy or boat out to this bay and dive underwater to locate the wreckage of a large boat. The second tract is situated on the ocean floor right next to this wreck.
Tract #3 – Pacific Ocean
This tract is located quite a distance off the mainland map, on the large northern island at the very top of the game map. Travel to this island to find tract number three.
Tract #4 – Mount Chiliad
This tract returns you to Mount Chiliad. The map marker indicates the south entrance of the tunnel that passes through Mount Chiliad. Enter this tunnel and proceed until you reach a small set of steps. The tract is located at the top of these steps, resting against a door.
Tract #5 – Little Seoul
In the northern part of Little Seoul, you’ll find an old church. Head to this church to find the next tract at the base of the building.
Tract #6 – Paleto Cove
The next tract is situated along the coast in Paleto Cove. In this area is the Sonar Collections Dock, which is also a purchasable property. Go to the end of the dock and descend the short set of steps to find the tract.
Tract #7 – Richman
Tract number seven takes you to the affluent Richman district. At the northern edge of Richman, there is a grand mansion. Head up the private driveway to find the tract located inside a set of stairs before the mansion’s entrance.
Tract #8 – Mount Chiliad
You’ll be returning to Mount Chiliad for this tract. As seen in the screenshot, this tract is very close to the location of the first one. Simply walk down the slope slightly from the summit observation deck and collect it from under the tree.
Tract #9 – Downtown
For this tract, you will need a helicopter. The Maze Bank building is the tallest skyscraper in Los Santos. The ninth tract is located on its rooftop. Fly a helicopter to the top of Maze Bank to collect this high-altitude collectible.
Tract #10 – Pacific Bluffs
The final Epsilon Tract is located in the southeast area of Pacific Bluffs, within a cemetery. In the center of the cemetery is a small lake. You’ll find the tenth and final tract next to an island grave situated in this lake.
Congratulations – you’ve found all of the Epsilon Tracts!
