How to Get the Stone Hatchet in GTA Online
Maude Eccles has come out of retirement thanks to her love of justice, meaning she’s open for business as a bounty broker. Maude can provide players with unique bounties and locations in GTA Online, and upon completing 5 of them, you’ll be rewarded with the Stone Hatchet, which is the best melee weapon in the game with no competition.

If you’ve ever wanted to become the Alien Interloper and help a Vinewood movie producer in GTA Online, then you’ll need to collect all 10 movie props.
Obtaining the Stone Hatchet is simple if you know how to start and find Maude’s bounties. Getting a text from Maude can be rather tricky, and finding 5 of the potential 20 bounty locations can be quite the pain, so we’ve gone ahead and listed how to start Maude’s bounty missions and all bounty locations in GTA Online so you can get the Stone Hatchet and over $250,000.
How to Start Maude’s Bounty Missions in GTA Online
(& How to Fix the Maude Text Glitch)
To start Maude’s bounty missions to get the Stone Hatchet in GTA Online, you must first visit her trailer in Grapeseed, marked on the map by a white Mz (not the gold one). Upon arriving at her trailer, you will receive a text from Maude, where she specifies that she will “send you a file soon“. However, some players might not actually receive a further text from Maude, so here’s how to fix it:
- Open the text message on your phone to read it.
- Make sure you’re not a CEO or in any Organization.
- Wait outside Maude’s trailer for around 10 minutes.
If the above hasn’t worked, close the game and retry, but make sure your spawn point isn’t outside Maude’s trailer.
After your first text from Maude, you will receive an email from her. Once you open it, you will be able to scroll down to reveal the face of the target, and a location will now appear on the map. There are 20 potential spawns for the bounty targets, but you will only be given 5 in total.
You will receive $5,000 if you kill the bounty target, or $10,000 if you beat them up, make them surrender, and take them back to Maude’s trailer.

Above, is a look at where each bounty target could potentially spawn. You will only have 5 bounties to worry about, and you will only get the next one once you have completed the previous one. It might take a few minutes before Maude sends another email about the next target.
Once your target has been acquired, study their character model, and venture to the area shown on your map, as they could be anywhere in the vicinity, usually standing still and idling. We recommend aerial vehicles like helicopters and Oppressor Mk IIs.
How to Easily Complete the Stone Hatchet Challenge
Once you have obtained the Stone Hatchet, you will unlock a challenge where you must get 25 kills with the Stone Hatchet. This isn’t exactly difficult, especially since the Stone Hatchet has a special ability that allows you to absorb more damage, and it refreshes its duration with additional kills. However, it might benefit players to know that this challenge can be completed on NPCs, not just enemies and other players.
For that reason, we recommend heading to Jobs > Rockstar Created > Missions > Pier Pressure. In the Pier Pressure mission, players can head to Vespucci Beach to find a crowd of NPCs that continue to spawn, and killing them won’t provide players with a wanted level, so they can easily complete the challenge for $250,000.
