Uncommon GTA Online Item Still Accessible Despite Being “Removed” Years Ago

Players of GTA Online have been pleasantly surprised to discover that a seemingly “rare” item remains accessible in the game, despite prior announcements regarding its removal. This revelation has ignited discussions among the community as the game celebrates over ten years since its launch.

As fans eagerly look forward to news about GTA 6, many are still exploring the expansive environment of Los Santos, unraveling lingering mysteries. Surprisingly, even after a decade, secrets in GTA 5 continue to emerge. Recently, the developers at Rockstar clarified the long-debated Mount Chilliad easter egg conspiracy, and players have uncovered that certain outfits can indeed provide in-game advantages.

In addition to these discoveries, players have reported finding “rare” items unexpectedly reappearing in their inventories and garages, even after Rockstar had previously removed them.

Uncovered: The Hazardous Jerry Can’s Persistence

One such item is the Hazardous Jerry Can weapon, which some players are now realizing they still possess. Reddit user u/FudgeControl expressed their astonishment, stating, “I thought Rockstar removed the Hazardous Jerry Can years ago. I still had mine when I logged in.”

Responses from the community suggest that while Rockstar may have patched the glitch that allowed players to obtain this item, it was not removed from the inventories of those who had acquired it prior to the patch. One player noted, “Everyone who did the mission before that first patch will still keep it.”

Players have noted that several bugs in the game remain unfixed, which contributes to the ongoing fascination with the Hazardous Jerry Can, adding it to a growing list of unfinished business in GTA Online.

While the Jerry Can may be classified as a harmless item—shooting it won’t ignite the hazardous chemicals contained within—it still represents a piece of gameplay history. It serves as a relic from the Casino Heist preparation missions.

For those lucky enough to have this item in their inventory, consider it a true collectible, akin to finding the Lost Slamvan from the casino spin wheel—a testament to the game’s enduring allure and the surprises it continues to foster.
