2. The Mailman - Grand Theft Auto IV

Despite being more than a decade and a half old, Grand Theft Auto IV still has a dedicated community that plays and discusses the game to this day.

A big reason for this is the wide array of details scattered around the game that people still discover new facts about.

The most interesting discovery like this made in recent days is the case of an extremely rare NPC who has such a small chance of spawning that many people assume he is a hoax.

The NPC in question is a unique mailman character who, unlike any other NPC in the game, has a work pattern that he follows. When a mailman appears in your game, he starts to actually walk from mailbox to mailbox, collecting letters and complaining about how much he hates his work.

Again, the mailman follows a specified path and schedule, which might be the reason why he barely appears in people's games, seeing as no other NPC in GTA IV does that.

So if you manage to spot him, maybe don't try to blow him up with rockets and grenades right away.

Or do. It's a free country.
