In Grand Theft Auto V, the Epsilon Program promises enlightenment, but for Michael De Santa, it begins with a bizarre online quiz and leads to waking up in the wilderness wearing nothing but his underwear. Dive into “Seeking the Truth,” the first step into the cult’s strange world of cryptic missions, hefty donations, and surreal encounters that blur the line between satire and mystery.
Availability: Michael
Location: Unlocking this side-mission, connected with the Epsilonist cult, is obvious and you do not need to prepare yourself for it in any way, or wait until you reach the appropriate moment in the campaign mode.. While playing as Michael, connect to the internet in any way you want (e.g. using your smartphone) and use the search engine to find the www.epsilonprogam.com site (the above screenshot).
This test has no bearing on whether the mission will be unlocked or not
After you access the site, find the Evaluate Your Identity button. The test consists of 10 questions, where the answers you provide influence only as much as the looks of the site that presents the results. This will not influence, on the other hand, on the unlocking of the mission because it will become available irrespective of the options that you have taken while taking the test.
The truck that you are looking for
Wait for a question mark to appear on the map, which is going to take you to Raton Canyon in the central part of the map. Get there and approach the red pick-up truck, which will start a cutscene and complete the first meeting with the Epsilonists.

What is the significance of the Epsilon Program in GTA 5
The Epsilon Program in Grand Theft Auto V serves as a satirical commentary on cult behavior, particularly targeting organizations like Scientology. It is a fictional religious cult led by Cris Formage, with its followers, known as Epsilonists, adhering to bizarre beliefs and practices centered around their deity, Kifflom. The program introduces a series of eight optional missions exclusively for Michael De Santa, offering a mix of humor and absurdity through tasks such as making donations, stealing vehicles, running miles in robes, and searching for alien artifacts.
The significance of the Epsilon Program lies in its parody of exploitative spiritual organizations and its unique gameplay experience. While participation requires substantial time and financial investment in-game, players can earn up to $2.1 million or receive a rusty tractor as a reward based on their choices during the final mission. It also adds depth to Michael’s character arc, showcasing his willingness to engage in eccentric activities for monetary gain or enlightenment.
